SEEK BIG ESTATE IN BORNEO
 Ponca City, Okla.-A 4century old love story figures in the eforts now being made. with Ponca City in the center of the stage, to recover pos session of large interests in the island of Borneo. There are prop erty interests involved also in the Dutch island of Ngau Pontinal1, and the heirs claim in addition a portion of Queens Gardens" in New York City.
 The love story began in Holland back in 1864 and was not long after ward shifted to America; now it has qualifications in almost all parts or the world. But George F. Corwin of Ponca City is the only heir who has kept intact the family tree upon which the fight to recover millions hangs.
 Princess Anneka fell in love in Holland in 1864 and started the fam fly row which has resulted four cen turies later in the attempt to recover the various properties. Her father was Pince Wolfert Webbert and he drowned upon her decision to marry ReoIf Jans. Instead Prince Webbert desired to marry her to nobleman of his choice. And when she dis obeysd him, he was so angry that he willeS that her share of his vast possessions should go to the seventh generation.
 It happened that the marriage of Anneka to Reolf Jans was childless, and evidently the prince-father be- lieved there would never be any sev- enth generation. But Jans was lost at sea and some time later Princess Anneka was married again. this time

It was necessary to pay 10 per cent in 1920 for placing second mortgage loans, and that amounted to $27S.00. That was changed, and we can place them today at 5 per cent so it is S12S.00. Supervision, and so on, is estimated at SIS $36 and s36 The general conditions in the con- struction of the average small dwell ing house rose from $395 to S14445 and now stands at $1,036."

Cost of a Six-Room Ho lse

overhead charge of an operative bull der. Four per cent represents his selling expense, his advertising and his office expense. The next item is taxes that amounted in 1914 to SIPS, sS5 last year and $77.45 this year.
 The newt item is interest. You will notice that when a man starts in to build hundred houses, it takes a lot of money. He must go to a trust company and negotiate a loan, and, of course, he must pay interest on that loan until he repays it to the trust company.
 We have predicated that charge on months interest on three quar- ters of the cost of the house, the aver age operation taking anywhere from 15 to IS months from the time it started to the time is disposed of. The title company charges cover title insurance and guaranteeing against mechanics liens, and searches, re- cording, and all that sort of thing, which, of course, are perfectly legiti- mate charges.
 ''The next large item Is the ex- pense of placing first mortgages. In 1914 We had no difficulty whatever in placing a mortgage of $12,0O0 on S3,200 house at an expense of l per cent. People were glad to take those mortgages because they were very good investment. In 1920 the condi- tions had reversed themselves very much. It was necessary to pay 3 per cent in most cases to place that mortgage, so that the cost of that item jumped from $20 to S220.
 That condition has been changed this year, and we can place mort gages now at 3 per cent. so that there is run into the expense of building that house a charge of s10S.00. The next item is the expense for placing second mortgages. In 1914 most of of the building and loan associations which took the mortgages were in funds, and there was no difficulty in placing that second mortgage by pay ing the charges of the attorney who represented that association, their so-

SCOTTSDALE. Nov. 12.-The first time an agricultural class of this dis trict has ever exhibited agricultural products at any fair was a success for the local boys, for they captured more places than any other agricul- turaI class in the valley. Although the time was very short Tn which tc secure exhibits for the industrial fair the bovs were fortunate in winning four second premiums and two third premiums. Will Miller won second on lemons. Hunter Chestnut, second on pumpkins, Harold Beller second on peanuts, Charles Mercy second on higera and third on Mexican June corn. and Frank Caldwell third on lint cotton. The money won will be used to purchase knee pads for the basket ball players. Plans are being made for larger and better exhibit of products for the stae fair next fall. The exhibits with the ribbons will be of products for the state fair next fali

 The boys in agriculture spent most of the week in selecting seed corn in the field. They have become ex- perts in this phasa of the work whlch was shown by the premiums they won on corn at the fair.
 The basketball teams did not play any school this week due to Friday being a holiday and none could be

BOUSE, Nov. 12.-A human skele- ton, believed to be that of w U.

Oliver Johnston of Bouse found the body, while riding on his cattle ranch. Johnson was a colored miner and prospector, about sixty years of age, and left no imme dlate relatives in this part of the state. He had a number of good claims in the Williams river terri tory, and was watchman on some properties belonging to a San Fran cisco company.

By Daniel Crowford, jr., Philadelphia.
 HOW much does it cost to build q two-story house containing six rooms and path? Daniel Crawford, jr., of Philadelphia, in the National Real Estate Journal of October 24, states mat the present cost is $6,676, as against $2,969 in 1914 and SS,346 in 1920, and supports his contention with figures based on an operation in Philadelphia covering 100 houses. The figures, which follow, were pre- sented by Crawford at the National Conference of the Construction In dustries held recently in PhiladeI- phia under the auspices of the Phila- delphia Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Construc- tion Industries.
 "In 1914 it was possible to buy small lots for dwelling house con- struction on 40-foot streets for about $5000," said Crawford in commenting on these figures. '"The price of the same lot today on a 50-foot street is little bit more. I say 50-fOot street because there has been a gen. eral tendency in this community to develop wider avenues, and the land has been laid out by the surveyors or engineers with a view of getting not less than a 50-foot street, if possible SC that it is difficult today to find a piece of land that is divided up into z0-foot streets. So that we have taken the same basic value, and merely added the land that is added and make it $500 for 1920 and $500 for 1921.
 The next item that enters into the cost of construction is utliities-the drainage, the water pipe, the curb the paving,-that the builder must pay for. In 1914 they cost him $68.50 and last year they cost him $197.07 This year the rates are the same Some folks have said that we are go- ing back to pre-war levels. The first important item that we find is the sales expense per cent, advertising 1 per cent, and office expense about 1 per cent. Generally, that is the total

BIG MONEY IN WAR GOODS

War materials on hand at the time of the armistice have been an asset of governments to be Hquidated. This operation has now proceeded to a point where the results run into large figures.
 To the end of June, England had made sales of SS per cent of its war materials, realizing at par exchange $2,670, 100000. The depression in the market for such materials as copper can be understood when it is noticed that England had stocks of non-fer- rous metals which it sold for some thing like 200 million dollars. Tex tiles, leather and equipment realized 150 million dollars. Food supplies brought in only 35 million dollars Nations Business.
