Chas. GilbertsOn, contractor and
builder of this city, returned last Fri
day from Carpio and Minot, where he
spent the past two weeks in visiting
with friends and relatives. In talk
ing with The World on his return he
told US that in his opinion there would
be more building of residences in the
city next spring, just as soon as the
frost was out of the ground, than
there ever was in the history of the
city, and gave us several reasons for
his belief. 1t has for several years
been admitted that the number of
residences here has been inadequate
to care for all who wanted to occupy
them, but all put off building until
the high prices of lumber came down.
Such prices have come down, and are
now as low as they were even before
the war. The freight is little high
er, making the retail price slightly
higher than what was charged before
the war, but the advance is hardly
noticeable. Other building material
lis also as low as it ever was. The
big reason for delaying construction
has now been eliminated, and there
should be something doing imme-
diately. Mr. Gilbertson is an expert
workman, and his services are in great
demand during the building season.
He assures us that he is now getting
more inquiries from people who in
tend to build in the spring than he
/ had for many years, and is sure that
all contractors and carpenters will
have more work than they will be
able to handle here just as soon as
the weather permits next spring.

ToWNLEY WILL
ABIDE BY WISHES

Minneapolis, Feb. 15.-Declaring
that in advocating the socalled "bal-
ance of power" plan, he wanted to
see the farmers and workers develop
all the power they can, A. G. Town
ley, president of the National Non
partisan league in a statement to.
day, announced that he will support
whatever action is decided upon at
the coming state convention.
Mr.. Townley's statement follows:
In advocating the socalled bal.
ance of power plan l was thinking
mostly of the general situation, espe-
cially national and congressional
politics. I want to see the farmers
and workers develop all the power
they can and effectively use all they
can develop. But it seems to me folly
for an intelligent minority to isolate
itself in an impotent group and leave
the actual balance of power with the
most reactionary, unpatriotic and
ignorant voters. would like to see
progressive people make the most Of
their strength and direct their group
action so as to have the greatest pos
sible influence on government.
"When the intelligent minority has
grown formidable enough to act in
dependently, when it has an immedi-
ate chance of becoming majority,
not only favor but strongly urge inde-
pendently, when it has an immediate
chance of becoming a majority, not
only favor but strongly urge indepen-
dent action"
Mr.. Townley praised the work OF
the league in North Dakota and said
that league legislators in Minnesota
have wonderful" record of service
"Our work where we have had a
chance to work has been a remark.
able success" he said. Everything
has been done that was promised as
far as the injunctions of hostile
courts and the sentiment of the people
themselves permitted.

FINANCES ARE
LoosEN1NG UP

A. B. Jackson of the Bovey, Shute
& Jackson Co., of this city, returned
on Wednesday Of last week from the
Twin Cities, where he spent about a
week on business. While there Mr..
jackson told us that he met number
of the financial men, and was advised
all around that money was loosening
up faster right now than it had been
at any time since the war started,
and that a person now with ample
collateral could obtain most any
amount of financial backing he desir-
ed at reasonable rate Of interest
This is entirely contrary to what was
the case a year ago, when it was i'm
possible to get any money anywhere
no matter what inducements per-
son had to offer. Mr.. Jackson was
also advised that the state of North
Dakota would come back quicker than
any other state in the union for the
reason that values here have rot been
inflated as was the case in other sta
tes, and the financial men of the east
now felt that our political troubles
were at an end.
In talking about the lumber bust
ness Mr. Jackson told us that in his
opinion all building material was SELL
ing at a lower price right now than
could be expected at any time in the
future. The general reduction from
the peak prices has been about 45 per
cent, and there is no reason on earth
why the prices should come down any
further. 1t may be that the freight
rates may come down in time, but it
is doubtful if this will effect retail
prices any for the reason that the
lumber mills are now selling their
product at less than the cost of pro-
tluction, and will not hesitate to boost
their prices a little just as soon as
the freight rates come down. Right
now is the time to build, according to
Mr.. Jackson, as building material can
not possibly come down any farther.
In fact there has already been a slight
raise since Dec. 1. The mills and re-
tailers have taken their loss right

raised, the greater will be the amount
available for the county's own needs.
