<. E. BELANSKT.

The city election is in the offing
occurring Monday. April 9Th, and
as the day approaches the political
pot starts simmering.
Mayor Storkan has filed for re-
election and announced his platform.
He is opposed by Ed. Belanski who
is making a sort of back porch
campaign and has announced no
platform.
1t is suspected that the Montana.
Dakota Power Company is silently
back of the Belanski candidacy.
Besides the election OF mayor
| there will be two councilment. a DO
lice magistrate and city treasurer
elected.
Joe Redmond has filed for coun-
Gilman for the first ward and Hen
| ry Barner for the second George
Pierce has filed for police magis-
trate, and H. O. Stenhjem for treas
urer. All the candidates so far ex-
ce-pt the candidates for mayor are
without opposition.
The hold over councilmen are Cal
Peterson for the first ward, appoint

near RedstOne which he will oper-
ate, and Frank Guenther in the
second.

OF course, Mr.. Lamont did not
exaggerate the scope of mem-

their superiOrs not to make black

d the opinion that the hard-wOrk-
ed slaves of the weekly premium
system did not waste much of
their valuable time collecting in
formation on unemployment. This
is lust another report. The only
significant feature of it is that
the government now admits we
have at least six million workers
FORCED into unemployment.
This is rich, coming from a fun

labor in Russia where everybody
is given a job. 1t is "a safe as
sumption that there are from ten
to twelve millions unemployed in
the United States.

Those who have swallowed tn

rather sick about the whole bust

lent officials in both the Biolog- ical Survey and the Alaska Game Commission, I am very much impressed by the com- plaints which come to me that these official bodies do not give the Alaska trapper and fur buy- CTS the aid which these Alaskans deserve.
 Herewith I attach for your in- formation and as an example of just what I mean, a letter ad- dressed to me by E. H. Martin, a merchant and fur buyer of Tolo- vana, dated March 30, 1881, to which is attached copy of a letter addressed by him to the chairman of the Game Commis- sion, at Juneau, complaining of one feature of obstruction to the fur trade, which certainly ought to be corrected. Instead of giving the trappers and trad ars freedom in a legitimate busi- ness, this annoys and hampers them and practically destroys the chance of trappers and trod- CTS. in distant places from secur- ing ready sale of their furs.

BUILDING OUTLAY

Five Billion Dollars for New

Schnitman Says.

ton. The future Is not without hope
due to this large annual outlay" he
said.
Revival need not wait upon all those
further necessary adjustments which
will doubtless occur" he says. In a
complex economic scheme where the
price Of silk at Toxic affects the sale of
automobiles in Detroit. or where the
price of steel at Pittsburgh dictates in
its manifold processes the demand for
housing. no precise adjustment may ever
be completely effected.
None the less with many Of our
world commodities such as cotton. rub
Der, tin. copper and the like now selling
materially below production costs, it is
reasonable to expect that this condition
may soon bring about its adjustments.
The future Is not without hope After
all. an annual $4,000 600, 900 outlay for
new construction in the United States
is, in these trying times, an important
stabiliZer in the balance sheet Of Amer

Synthetic Materials Will

Builders Are Told.

Construction engineers have not spent

this period OF inactivity. according to
Schiller w. Framhein. Chicago. Ill.
Mr.. Framhein told cooperative apart
menc builders and organizers from all
parts Of the country at the Baltimore
realtor meeting this week that synthetic
materials, designed during the past two
years and those on the eve Of reaching
the market. will greatly reduce the cost
Of American buildings in the future.
These materials will be more lasting
than the materials they will replace and
will reduce upkeep to degree which
will be astounding to the ordinary lay
man.

BUILDING COSTS DOWN
Residential Construction Increas-
ing, Report Reveals.

The most favorable factors in the
immediate outlook for the building in
dustry are the low cost of construc-
ton and the rising volume of residen-
tial building. says the Union Trust Co,
Cleveland. During the first quarter of
1881 the floor space of new homes built
exceeded the same period last year by
per cent, 1t reports.
The record for on-reSidential con-
struction and for the public work is less
favorable, the declines continuing in
these fields" says the bank. Building
material costs are from 10 per cent to
20 per cent below the levels of one year
ago"
Conditions for the construction or
purchase of a home have not been more
propitious in the past IA years. How
ever, the prospective home builder. faced
with curtailed earning power and I'M
certain employment. is delaying his
plans to build. Definite improvement In
general economic conditions should be
reflected Immediately in an accumulated
demand for new homes"
