Building Boom
Being Forecast
Authority Predicts That
1885 Will See Con-
struction Double

New Current statistics
and opinion of trade authorities
indicate the foundation is in place
for the oft-predicted building
boom in the United States.
For the first 10 months of this
year. residential contracts ran
some 81 per cent ahead of the
same period in 1884. Nonresident
tial contract awards for all of
1885 are estimated at ST. per cent
over 1884. Public works for 10
months this year ran 20 per cent
behind the 1884 comparable period
but October showed a 43 per cent
spurt above the same period last
year.
Standard Statistics company in
a survey said, ''It seems certain a
building boom is on the way
"Al great recovery cycles in
this country have been alike in
that the marked expansion of pub
lie purchasing power has stimulat-
ed generous spending to reestablish
comfortable living conditions" it
said.
Another segment of the build
ing trade exhibiting remarkable
strides is industrial construction
and modernization. Statistics pub
ished in the magazine Business
Week show the total was 94 per
cent higher in the first 10 months
this year than for year ago.
boundaries appear as the leader Of
the entire group with a gain of
454 per cent over last year. Pub
lie utility and power plants in
creased construction and rehabiG-
tation by 2s3 per cent.
1.-THE influence of the govern
ment in assisting the building in
dustry is beginnig to be felt,
said Standard. s.
1t is believed by most observers
that the greatest expansion dur.
ing 1886 is due in residential
building because of growing
shortage of suitable houses and
apartments and because rents
have advanced in many parts OF
the nation to the point where
householders feel they can save
money by. building. There is a
gradual increasing amount OF
money ready and willing to be in
vested in such construction, the
survey indicated.
'sIn view of the various forces
which are operating for the rise
in 1886, it would not: be surpris-
ing to see doubling of the 1885
volume Of residential building to
fully $9oo,oo0,Ooo," Standard
predicted.

apparently less occupied with the
inspectors story than with the pc

The snowfall continued in fur
ries as they sledded on toward Lake
|Lebarge. Between the canyon rap
ids and the Takhim they passed a
creek that cut into the left bank of
the river. 1t appealed to Speed as
a site for a winter camp. The tim

cabin logs, and they could haul in

for the boat.
The solitude of the region re-
manned unbroken. Feathering snow
had erased the track of a patrol
mans mount, which they had noted
occasionally. So, when they were
returning to the horses after a side
excursion to examine timber, Matt
land was surprised to see his part
ner stop suddenly and look down,
as if he had detected some mark
on a blank rise of snow.
The shape of these marks was
not that of footprints but of some
moccasin-lik foot covering. There
were other phantom dots and lines
that suggested a sled track-unac-
countably to him.
Speed studied them with an alb
sent intentness, from which he was
recalled by a question from the

They made an uneventful trip
down the strtch of Lake Lebarge
to the Lewes and delivered their
consignment to the Inspector in
charge, without meeting the other
official personages. Nor did Speed
show any desire to do 50. He lost
no time in getting rid of the order,
and putting miles of lake ice be-
tween them and the Lewes.
Retracing their lonly route with
the empty sleds, they loaded up

led them far apart. They had been

Some minutes later his ears were
stung to alertness by the muffled
double crack of a rifle.
Wondering what game Speed
would consider worth that number

a faster gait.
Presently, through the snow
drizzle, he discerned a dark lifeless
bulk On the snow-blanketed ice. HI
found it to be a stray woodland
caribou-the first he had ever seen.
1t had been dropped by a clean
head shot, and its blood, still warm,
stained the snow. Speeds bullet

In answer to his shout, his part
ner came toward him out of the
shadow of a clump of cottonwoods.

They put the deer on the sled and
kept trailing till they camped in

the river mouth. When they had
skinned the game and cleaned up,
darkness had closed around them
with a bitter night cold. Maitland
broke limbs from a fallen tree for

"We1l take the street," said
Speed to Maitland, "it's more visi-
ble."
The marbled thoroughfare, with
its cross stripes of light, opened a
CLANCY course before them when
they turned the bend. These alter
mating patches of light and dark
ness were an advantage as we'll as a
menace; they exposed the entrance
of each resort, while the dark spaces
between shielded their approach.
When the sign of The Pack Train

became a little more measured. No

Franklin's Stove Among
Early Similar Devices

Benjamin Franklin invented stove
in 1745. Previous to that time there
had been stoves in Holland and Ger
many. Franklin's, however, was a
great improvement over all which had
preceded it.
In III he invented several other
stoves, one for burning bituminous
coal, which would consume its own
smoke and had a downward draft; and
another, intended for the same purpose,
having basket CRATE or cage, with
movable bars at the top and bottom,
supported by pivots at the center. ard
which, after being filed and kindled
at the top. could be inverted and so
made TO burn at the base.
The next important inventor of
stoves, ovens and heating and cooking
apparatus was the American-born but
Europeanized adventurer and scientist,
Count Rumford. who between 17S5 and
1875 devised several Improvements in
tended to economic fuel and heat
Rumford's stoves for cooking purposes
were lined with friedrich or soapstone
and had ventilating oven. They
were introduced into America from
Germany about 179S, and soon extend
ed in popularity. Domestic products
appeared in competition with them
and so the American stove industry
was established. - Cleveland Plain
