The key to small-house construc-

class building merchants" able to
assemble land and buy it on the best
cash-price basis, a report to the
American Institute of Architects by
Emery Stanford Hall, fellow of the
institute. declares. The chief in
dictment of the small house offered
for sale today is that no skilled
organized knowledge has been put

Such program would completely
divorce finance from building and
would employ the best architectural
talent to plan the arrangement and
use of the land to greater advantage.
The construction industry, to-day

holds
Would Anticipate Requirements.
The architects for such an organ
lzation would be instructed to study
social and market demands for
buildings and to design buildings
adapted to wholesale production and
calculated to anticipate the require
ments of prospective buyers the
report explains.
The building merchant can work
on sufficiently large scale to sup

of the kind that can establish large
credit SO as to be able to obtain
money for emergency needs promptly
and at reasonably low rates of
interest, buy for cash and sell on
the extended payment plan.
To insure the highest degree of
production efficiency. the architects
would be required to undertake ex-
haustive research as to cost, char
acter, quality, and availability of
materials suited for use in the prof.
ect in hand. In other words, they
would be expected to know the

Where Construction Money
Goes Is FIGURED

The percentage of the total cost
of a house which may be allotted
to any particular department of
house construction has become fairly
we'll fixed by long experience in
building many thousands of houses.
The prospective home builder who
concerns himself with the individual
costs making up the total he must
pay for his new home will find these
average percentages a good guide
to check against estimates received
from subcontractors. The following
figures on the distribution of con-
struction money between labor and
material were drawn from a study
of typical six-room home of Co.
lonial design in the Middle Atlantic
AREA modern house of wood Shin
gle exterior walls-the total cost of
which was $4.783. The following is
the cost breakdown.

developed in Germany. 1t is made
from hitherto largely neglected
wood waste and is manufactured in
the form of extra strong wood fiber
board with a linoleum- like surface.
1t is impervious to water, the de-

Milk Never Exposed

Douglas Ranch Sold
To Henry Converse

One of the oldest ranches IN the
Augusta region, the Theodore Douglas
place. has Just been sold. 1t was taken
up as a homestead by Douglas father
in the late sixties.
tIry ago, Douglas, q trapper for the
Hudson's Bay Co., came to Montana
to trade with BIackfeet Indians camped
near Haystack butte. He saw the pos
sibilities for an ideal stock ranch IN
the Sun river valley and decided to re-
main. He filed on land along the
south fork Of that river. Eventually he
became the owner of a large herd Of
cattle and planted large areas TO grain.
The youngest son, Theodore, after
managing the place many years, has
sold it to Henry Converse, who, too, is
the son of pioneers. One of his sisters
was the first white child born in what
is now Augusta.

Montana's livestock value Jan.
/, 1889, was more than $4,000
900 greater than last year, accord
ing to ]. G. Diamond, federal ag-
ricultural statistician. Cattle values
increased nearly 100000 from
Jan. 1, 1888, while 1899 sheep and
lamb values exceeded last years by
$1,66o,000. The total value of
horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and
chickens ian. / this year was
s78. 100 900. compared with S65 1888 900
in 1888 and 500 ,629 900 in 1897.
During the year, cattle numbers in
creased IA percent to 100000 head,
stock sheep numbers 10 percent to g.
100000 head, hogs 10 percent to $4,000
head and chickens 16 percent to g.
048 900 head. Horses declined 8 percent
to a new low of $4,000 head, while
mules remained unchanged at 5000
head.
Per head values Of cattle were $3.50
greater than last year, but sheep were
unchanged. Horses we're worth 81 more
and mules $40 less per head.
Strong increases we're shown in all
classes OF beer cattle, particularly
calves, during the year. Mich cattle
increases were less pronounced, but
fluid milk production jumped 100000
pounds from 1885,
Most of the increase in stock sheep
has come In the eve lamb classified
ton due to retention for breeding pur-
poses. Sheep and lambs on feed were
10000 head greater than in 1888.
Hogs showed a 81 percent increase
in production for 1888 over 1887 and
a December, 1888, pig survey indicates
larger increase for 1899. Chicken num-
bers, which dropped sharply during
the drouth years, are now showing
signs of expansion.
"Strong gains in numbers of meat
animals and chickens, compared with
last year." Diamond said, indicate
that as a result of the favorable feed
and grass production Of 1888, Montana
producers of livestock are taking
prompt steps to restock holdings"

Old Pioneer Walked
Bismarck to Benton

One Of the earliest pioneers of
all those who attended the sec
Ond annual reunion and banquet
Of the Montana Cowboy assOcia-
ton at Great Falls was William
SHELTON, SO, Geyser stOckman.
A Montana resident for SO
years, Shelton, an earIy-day pros
pectOr, trapper and Indian trad
er, missed the last Montana
bound boat at Bismarck In 1876,
the year of the Custer massacre,
and with a companion, Gene ABB
bolt, walked overland to Fort
Benton. At Missouri river ford
they walked squareIy into the
center of Sitting Bulls command,
fleeing to Canada. That they
were unframed, Shelton ascribes
to Sitting Bulls decision to per-
init no killings of whites after
the band crossed the Missouri.
Shelton settled on Wolf creek
near Stanford I'm 1880 and re-
calls that the only fOrmaIity
needed at that time to file on a
homestead was to shape and
place four logs, which were to
serve as a foundation for the
settlers home.
