MUCH BUILDING
Inspector Anticipates Another
Year To Skater C0nstruC-
ton Records

That 1919 far exceeded the pre-
ceeding year in building activity and
that even greater activity may be ex-
pected in 1920 was the gist of Orel
Sovereign's report, as building in
spector, to the mayor and city coun-
Gil at the conclusion of the year. His
report is as follows
Caldwell, Idaho, December 81. 1919.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council OF the city of Caldwell. Ida
Gentlemen:
herewith submit my annual re-
port tor the year ending December
81, 1919 to read as follows:
Building Permits Issued.
January, $4,85O.OO.
February, $6,94OOO.
March, $27,O35OO
April, $4,000.
May, sos, 10000

money was issued during the month
OF October. The average cost per

house during the year is approximate
ly $4,000.
There is at the present time base
ments being dug for about six new
houses for which now permits have
been issued. Owing to the cost OF
material and the inability to get ma
terial, the amount OF building was
some what less than what it would
otherwise have been.
There were built during the year
lis houses at a cost of S285 ,245.OO.
and additions and repairs to houses
amounted to $22,7l5.O, making to-
tai amount put into residence build
ing OF 1907 10000.
There were 20 commercial build
ings built amounting to $2ll, 10000
and addition and repairs to CONNER
cial buildings $5,675OO making tota1
of $216,S75.OO
There were 50 smaller buildings
built of the smaller type such as pri-
vate garages, barns, coal sheds, etc.
which amounted to $12,7200O. Total
$537,555.OO

s.. 10000. ten alterations and repair OF
commercial buildings at $l4,314.OO and
IS smaller buildings at $4,000 which
made a total OF Sll4,429.OO. The
wear of 1919 shows an increase OF
Sab, 1860 over the year Of 1918 or
about four and one-half times more.
The outlook for the year of 1920 is
that there will be more building than
in 1919. Some building has been held
back because OF the high cost Of ma
terial and the expectations OF lower
prices but as all hopes of lower priced
material has passed many buildings
are being planed for the early spring
that would otherwise have been built
this year.
Respectfully submitted,
OREL H. SOVEREIGN,
Building Inspector.

What's in A Name.

Naming a plant or flower after a
celebrity Is delicate compliment, and
one that no doubt at times adds some
thing to the market value. But there
are exceptions. That beautiful variety
of the lobella, for instance, known as
Emperor William" would perhaps
hold up its imperial head little more
proudly just now if it had had more
fortunate christening
Stray thoughts on these lines may
have been Pickering In the mind of a
vendor in London market-place as a
likely looking buyer. while examining
box of the old favOrite, asked what
variety it was. Without deranging the

Matter of Priority.

While the people of Denmark are
glorying in the antiquity of their ma
tional flag, the "Dannebrog," which
claims the honor of seniority among
all the national flags, and are COM
memorating It's origin in the thirteenth
century, Belgian and German patriots
are securing the Middle Ages on a
mission of vital import to their respec-
tive flags. The new German state has
given indications of adopting for its
colors black, yellow and red disposed
horizontally. This has aroused pro-
tests in Belgium, which claims priority
in precisely the same colors, similarly
disposed, and patriotic societies are
said to be forming to take action to
prevent Germany's adoption of them
The Belgian claims are based on the
colors of the princes of Flanders and
Brabant in the thirteenth century
while the German case is said to rest
on the use of the colors in question by
the ancient Germanic empire.

No, reader, this corn was not grown
by one of our local farmers 1t wasn't
grown in the United States, even. 1t
was grown in the faroff Philippine Is
lands by Filipino schoolboys. Two fine
crops of corn a year are produced in
the Islands.
The Philippines are doing some Won
derfu things in the agricultural line.
The Philippine government has fine az
ricultural schools throughout the is
lands, and the Philippine legislature,
composed entirely of Filipinos, is each
year making larger and larger appro-
priatiOns for this important work.
Inc staple food Of the islands is rice,
but corn is coming right along in pOpu-
lar favor. Its use was given great i'm
petus in the last year because Of u rice
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1920-02-18

shortage Other important Philippine
crops are hemp, sugar cane, cocoanuts,
coffee, tapioca and pineapples. Lum-
Der is also an important industry.
There are hundreds of thousands of
acres of land lying idle in the Philip
pines, which have a greater area of
fertile land than Japan-this in spite
of the fact that the population of the
Philippines is 100000 while that of
Japan is around 55,000,000 There is
every reason TO believe that some day
the Philippines will have population
as large as that of Japan today. The
Tilipinos are the only Christian people
in the orient, and their young men are
working night and day to prepare
themselves for the responsibility of
citizenship in the Philippine Republic,
which they believe 10 be near ii hand.

WOODEN MILL DEVELOPMENT
Boston Men Secure Option on the
Dpws Mil

i'"H'oh wen secure Option on the
Dews Mill.
A project which contemplates the
development of the water power at
the Dews wooden mill on Branch
pond stream. a change in the nature
Of the mill, and an increased oper-
alton employing some twenty-five
hands, seems in fair way of being
closed. Massachusetts men of
large experience and developed
market for felt and felt specialties
have secured an option on the prop
erty.
These men, Messrs. orlich, Beck
with and Tompson, of Boston. whose
attention was called to this plant at
Ellsworth by l.. NJ. Carroll of the
Carroll Felt Shoe Co.. visited Ellis
worth last week. and were very fay-
orably impressed with the oppor-
tunity. Next week they will come
here with an engineer who will look
over the project with a view to esti-
mating the possibilities to which the
water power may be developed.
There is already a thirty-foot head at
this dam, with the rights of water
from Branch pond fully protected.
BY running a penstock farther up
stream, it is believed a sixty-foot
head would be obtained. which
would give all the power required.
The matter of power development
alone seems to be one on which the
project rests. and if the engineers
report is favorable. there is ap-
parently every likelihood that the
deal will be closed
The matter of location does not
bother the gentlemen interested, in
the least. The motor truck has
solved the transportation problem.
II is power they are after.
