Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1905 VOL. XI. NO. 33 The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or partially obscured document. POLITICAL POT=PIE Last Wednesday saw the last of Popocracy in this state when Henry McBride retired from the gubernatorial chair and Albert E. Mead assumed the duties thereof. The above is said advisedly, as Governor McBride, who was elected lieutenant governor at the same time as was Governor John R. Rogers, carried out the latter's policy almost to the letter when he became governor at the death of Governor Rogers. Such a policy on the part of a Republican governor created consternation in the Republican party, and Henry McBride had not been in the gubernatorial chair --- ALBERT E. MEAD, Governor of Washington over six months before he had put his party on the defensive and absolute defeat threatened the election of the entire state ticket, as well as many of the county tickets, all on account of the governor's policy. It was therefore a source of supreme satisfaction when Henry McBride was retired to a private citizen and a Republican was ushered into the office of the chief executive of the state of Washington. THE EVERGREEN STATE. It is predicted, after listening with rapt attention to Governor A. E. Mead's inaugural address, that he will prove to be one of the ablest executives the Northwest has ever had. He will conduct PRICE FIVE CENTS The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a grayscale portrait of a person. the affairs of the state in a manner that will give it a standing among the states of this Union of states. Mr. Mead is a splendid type of American manhood, and he is already pronounced by those who know, a political prince. A peaceful and prosperous administration will hover about the Mead administration during its life time. THE INDUCTION OF HON. CHARLES E. COON INTO THE OFFICE OF LIEU TENANT GOVERNOR. Mr. Coon has already given evidence that he will give the senate a wise, judicious and businesslike administration. He is of commanding stature and presents a magnificent figure at the head of that august assembly. Though there be but four Democrats out of the 42 members in the senate, yet no extravagance will be allowed, and the state's interest will be watched as zealously as if twenty out of the forty-two were Democrats. THE LEGISLATURE. Another biennial session of the legislature of the state of Washington convened last Monday and once more Olympia, where the state capital is located, is all bustle. The 136 members of the legislature make up a small part of the army of politicians that are seen about the legislative halls as well as about the various senatorial headquarters. The omnipresent political hanger-on as well as the grafter is to be found at the Capital City now as of yore in lump lots. Either a job or a "piece of money" is what he is looking for and if he is only persistent enough he will get one or the other, or both. *** Many familiar faces are to be seen about the congregating places and the glad hand is extended to old legislative acquaintances, with a "How do you do?" "Glad to see you," in a way that makes the welkin rink. It is something of a reunion among the politicians of the state and those who regularly attend them enjoy the meets equally as well as do the Grand Army men who annually attend their reunions. And why not? This is an age of unity of action, combine and trust, and why not the politicians, as well as the other fellow? * * * Chief among the lobbyist is that well known prince of lobbyist, George Stevenson, who has been prominent and conspicuous at every legislative meet in this state since the assembling of the constitutional convention, of which he was a prominent member. "Steve," as he is known among the boys, has always managed to stand right up next to the "barrel," and he is again looking after the senatorial interest of the only aspirant for that honor, who has a single dollar to expend for it outside of legitimate headquarter expenses. Steve, however, is a prince of good fellows, and perhaps has more personal friends in the legislature than any other man now in Olympia. * * * Scott Swetland? Well, yes, he, too, is on hand and looking as pleasing as a basket of chips. Scott had charge of the state campaign in 1894, and held the reins again in 1896. He hails from the southwest and still has a host of political admirers throughout the state. To have Scott on your side in a scrap is a strong spoke in your wheel. * * * With every band of music there must be a Drum and Henry of Tacoma, Democrat though, he fills the place most admirably. He is always on hand and being a mixer his political faith does not particularly injure him even among Republicans. * * * Not many legislatures have assembled in this state but that C. B. Hopkins, he of Sunset Telephone fame, has been present and taken an active interest in its proceedings. Charley always either has a candidate for the United States senatorship to elect or some important legislation to have enacted, hence he, too, has become a familiar figure. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN No less conspicuous as some already mentioned is the corpulent form of Jno. Wooding who hails from King county. Wooding has been a member of the senate, but, aside from that, he has been a king pin politicitian in the "south district" of King county and his influence has always named four members of the legislature and he therefore is a valuable lobbyist. Wooding stands by his friends and for that very reason he is an important personage in the affairs of the legislature and is always on hand. * * * Notwithstanding the fact that the legislature meets biennially to enact and modify laws for the best interest of the state, yet when there is a senator to be elected that duty overshadows all others and little is done by the members that does not bear one way or the other on the solution of the selection of the senator. At this session as at all former ones the all-absorbing question with not only the members, but the lobby as well is: "Who will be elected United States senator?" And in answer, the other fellow looks wise and proceeds to give his listener a lucid explanation of the entire situation, of which he knows not a dam thing about, but it's information, even if there be nothing authentical in what he says. It is peddled to others and so it goes until the thing is settled, which is always a great relief to all concerned. *** THE SENATORIAL SITUATION. The Seattle Republican in the past has endeavored to diagnose the political situation to its readers in a manner eminently fair to all concerned, and it will endeavor to do so during the present senatorial contest. We know you and each of you are anxious to hear our views on the senatorial situation and here goes: There will be nominated for the office of United States senator next Tuesday four candidates, perhaps five, and still there will be one strong dark horse candidate, who may be trotted in at any time. By reason of occupancy Senator Addison G. Foster will lead the list. Foster, it is claimed, will have fifty votes on the first ballot, but how many of that fifty will be for him the second ballot and the second day, is the question. * * Sam H. Piles, the King county candidate, it is claimed, will have thirty-eight votes, twenty-four votes from King county and fourteen from the outside, which, if true, will make him a most formidable candidate. It is barely possible that from an actual number standpoint ex-Senator John L. Wilson is the next strongest candidate, though there is a difference of opinion, whether Wilson or Sweeney is the stronger. Mr. Wilson will have anywhere from twenty to twenty-five votes on the first ballot. Charles Sweeney, the Spokane candidate, is the only man asking for the place that has a dollar to expend in the fight, but he is by no means in the gold dishing out business at least so early in the game. Mr. Sweeney will have some twenty odd votes to begin with. FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1905 It has not been definitely decided by his supporters whether or not the name of Henry McBride will or will not be placed in nomination, but it begins to look as if it will be. If so he will get between six and ten votes. The names of neither A. B. Campbell nor Jacob Furth will be presented next Tuesday, though they will be looked upon as strong dark horse candidates and this will be especially true of the latter. Mr. Furth has many ardent admirers both in the King county delegation as well as among outside members who truly hope that an opportunity sooner or later will present itself to them to vote for him for senator. Who will be elected? you ask. Why the man who gets sixty-nine votes. Who will that be? you again ask. Well, the Lord only knows, and He will not tell. If it be true Foster has fifty votes that, it is very generally believed, will be his full strength. Immediately after the firing of the first gun his vote will, it is claimed, go to pieces. He will see the hand writing on the wall and his advisers will then attempt to "deliver" to Charles Sweeney, and, if they are successful Sweeney will be elected in spite of hell and high water. Sweeney's campaign is in the hands of some of the most astute politicians in the state and they are laying dead for just such a coup de main as this. Stevey, Baker and Rands know their business in a political game and they generally perform it. Foster will have to deliver to Sweeney to bring about a success of the Foster-Sweeney combine, as it is not generally believed that Sweeney can deliver to Foster. If the Sweeney forces should go to pieces, it is not believed that Foster would get a single one of them. Some of them would doubtless vote "in the air," some might vote for Piles, but a majority of them, if not four-fifths, would vote for John L. Wilson. A railroad commission bill is still the uppermost thing in the minds of the members, not only of the Spokane delegation, but of the members in general from Eastern Washington and who they vote for for United States senator will depend largely on the attitude of the railroad commission. A Foster "go to pieces," on the other hand, might come no nearer solving the vexed question than his holding together, for his vote might mean that Piles, Wilson and Sweeney would all profit thereby. Mr. Piles can be elected if he can inherit from the Foster fall twenty odd votes in addition to his own, if it be true he has thirty-eight votes. If, on the other hand, Mr. Piles has only twenty-eight votes and if he does not gain heavily from the Foster disintegration, if that ever comes, he has no show of election. His lieutenants are nevertheless doing some heavy log rolling and at this writing he is a strong second in the contest. * * It is now quite generally conceded that John L. Wilson will have between fifteen and twenty-five votes on the first ballot, nearer twenty-five than fifteen. It is further conceded that his votes will stay with him until released by him and some of them even then. Addison G. Foster Samuel H. Piles John L. Wilson Senatorial Aspirants Charles Sweeney Jacob Furth FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1905. Addison G. Foster Charles Sweeney It is also hinted that many of Foster's votes will go to him after the first ballot, enough perhaps to give him thirty-five votes. If at that stage of the game King county should withdraw Piles from the fight and give Wilson her twenty-four votes Wilson would have fifty-nine votes, and it is believed that the Spokane delegation would break to him at once, and thereby secure his election. Wilson, it must be admitted, is very strong all over the state and any move on the part of King county to the support of his candidacy might bring about a "band wagon" proposition, but Mr. Wilson is keeping his counsel as to his real strength. The Pie-maker can say without fear of successful contradiction that the name of Jacob Furth looms up in the background by day and by night in the senatorial contest. Like Banquo's ghost, "it will not down," but no one is fighting it down, as the friends of both Mr. Piles and Senator Wilson, both in and out of King county, will join issues --- and work for his election if the situation so shapes itself. In the selection of Senator George H. Baker as president pro tem of the senate one of the ablest men in the state has been chosen. Senator Baker is one of the shrewdest parliamentarians that has ever been elected to the legislature from this state and his influence will be felt whether in the chair or on the floor of the senate. * * Ex-Senator Senator George J. Hurley was elected sargent at arms., which was a deserved recognition of the section of the state from which he hails. Mr. Hurley having had experience in the senate, will render a good account of his stewardship during the next sixty days. * * As was previously predicted Will H. Lyons, secretary of the Republican State Central Committee, was chosen secretary of the senate. Mr. Lyons is one of the most effi cient men that has ever filled the place and his selection mets general approval. ```markdown ``` The selection of Hon. Joseph G. Megler, the patriarch of the legislature of this state, as Speaker of the House of Representatives, has met general approval. Mr. Megler has already given evidence of being able to turn off legislative business with brevity and dispatch. He will be a brilliant success. * * Hon. Storey Buck, once a member of the house, who was chosen chief clerk, held the same position two years ago, and is a very capable and efficient official. His able assistant C. W. Gorham, was once a member of the house and served the legislature two years ago in a like position. The success of Gus Breslin for sargent at arms of the house was a personal victory for Senator Baker and his house constituent, Representative Coats. On the whole, the legislature is made up for business and the Piemaker predicts it will be the most businesslike session held for a long time. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... 60 In Legislative Halls. Olympia may justly feel proud of her new legislative hall. The change from the old to the new is so great that one has to almost pinch himself to make sure that it is no dream. Ample accommodations, quarters well lighted, heated and ventilated, wide stairways and a large elevator—it seems too good to be true; but the members of the legislature adopt themselves to the new order of things wonderfully well while their approval of the change is so great as to be felt in the very atmosphere; yea, it is daily expressed in audible asides and even lurkes in some of their blandest smiles. A Child Wife. Suit has been brought before the Supreme Court to have the marriage between Venus Hanley and Warren Hanley annulled. When the child Venus was nine years old her mother died and he father remarried; after she had reached her 11th year her stepmother coaxed her into marrying Hanley, who was 31 years old, by pretending to her that the ceremony did not amount to anything. This was in 1889 and up to date the child wife has never lived with the husband. The wonder is not so much that she refused to live with him, but more why a man 31 would wish to blight the life of a child 11 years old. Contempt can not but be felt for a stepmother who, to rid herself of a child, would thus betray her; for a father who would listen to the voice of the tempter when his own child's happiness was at stake; and for the minister of the gospel well, contempt scarce expresses the emotion which the entire transaction calls forth. Hate's Reckonings. It is said that there is a certain policeman on the city's force who just loves to arrest a Negro and always uses more muscular force than the case requires when so doing. Recently a Negro who was arrested and put in the city jail was found to be a leeper. We do not know which one of the policemen made the arrest, but since that particular man has such a fondness(?] for that specific class of human beings, as prisoners, the hope is that he did the arresting and if his contact with a leeper did not cause him to change his attitude towards Negro prisoners, no one doubts but that he hastened to change his clothing. Hungry Immigrants. The penniless Polacks who wandered into the police station and asked for a night's lodging have been taken in charge by the government officers. How they passed in from the Canadian side without encountering the immigration inspectors is unknown and they may be regarded as but a mild THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN forerunner of the vast immigration, in most respects, unlearned, immoral and penniless, headed for American shores during the year 1905. Inhuman Officers. A most revolting report comes from Portland, Ore., against head guard James F. Johnson, of the rock pile prisoners' gang, accusing him of brutality to the prisoners. His treatment to them was so cruel that one wonders how a human being can sink so low as to wish to inflict such upon another human. We can also look closer home: there has been a similar complaint against officers over prisoners in the State of Washington. These things ought not to be. Careful investigations should be made, and all forms of torture promptly checked by the removal of men inhuman. Charleston's Appointee. The nomination of W. B. Crumb to be collector of customs for the port of Charleston, S. C., has at last been confirmed by the senate by a vote of 33 to 17. Confirmation was opposed by Senator Tillman, who opposed the appointment of a Negro. President Roosevelt nominated Crumb three times, and he received three recess appointments, after which the senate did what ought to have been done at the beginning—confirmed the President's nomination. And now—well, Senator Tillman and his sympathizers will have to forget that Mr. Crumb is a Negro and think of him as a human beoing; in short, as just only a man among men, hoping, fearing and trusting, as do other men, wearing the same apparel as other masculine inhabitants of these United States clothe themselves in. Meanwhile Mr. Crumb will guard such customs as reach the port of Charleston, S. C., diligently, for President Roosevelt's fight for right was made for one worthy of the honor. At a Rapid Pace. "Are we living too fast?" asks a contemporary. Well, if making the almighty dollar "God" is an indication of it, we are. The indictment of Senator John H. Mitchell and Congressman Binger Himan, of Portland, Ore., by the federal grand jury, for being implicated in frauds and conspiracies, with the assurance that this is only the beginning of the unearthing of far-reaching steals, are straws which tell which way the wind blows. We are living so fast that if there is a chance for making secret appropriations from street car nickels to government lands, the public with reluctance gives the employe the benefit of the doubt. A Trade Center. A proposed American trade center in Paris, whereby a headquarters for American produce as well as all things concerning America's interest in the world of trade, would be established, is calling forth varied opinions. The proposition has in favor of it the establishment of our manufacturing capacity before the eyes of the entire Old World, and it is the hope of the majority that this plan for the concentration of our products does not miscarry.

Coxey's army, its march to Washington, the subsequent arrests, his newspaper of 1895, and later his candidacy on the Populist ticket for governor of Ohio, are things yet vividly remembered by many. NO FREE ADVERTISING At a recent convention of the National Advertisers' Association, recently held in New York city, an important statement was made by Walter B. Stevens, secretary of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company. He admitted that the failure of the fair to become a financial success that had been designed for it was due to the shortsighted policy of the department of promotion, which had ignored the newspapers of the country in the allotment of advertising space. He said that if the fair could run another year and could have the benefit of the space advertising in the newspapers that it was now recognized it ought to have had, it might become the greatest success financially of any fair in history. The experience of the Louisian Purchase Exposition to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lewis and Clark Exposition managers are attempting the same tactics. Volumns of printed matter are being sent out to the press to publish gratis, as though the success of the Exposition would mean a single red cent to the weekly newspaper man. Unless the weekly press is paid and paid well for whatever advertising it does for the Exposition not one word pro or con should appear in its columns concerning it. Such imposition on the weekly "press" should be stopped, and no one is better prepared to stop it than the weekly press itself. For the privilege of passing through the Exposition gates free for a half of dozen times a weekly paper is asked to do at least $500 worth of advertising. Nay, nay, Pauline. If the Exposition has any advertising let it pay for it, and if Mr. Editor and his family desire to attend the fair let them pay for what they see. no and our at Xmas country, and have never THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A Legi Ma legislative Manual Legislative Manual Will be Issued by the Editor of The Repu he Seattle Republican The Seattle Republican Some Time in February which will be the the most instruct the Northwest. which will be the most complete, as well the most instructive manual ever issued Northwest.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 13, 1905 Race Gleanings From Our Exchanges. The following is an extract from an article from the pen of W. R. Moten, of Tuscan, Ariz. The subject of his review was, "Is the Negro as a race doing the Pos-ma-la?" "Some three years ago, while in conversation with a prominent colored gentleman of Oakland, Cal., I was surprised to hear him say: 'The Negro as a race is doing the Posma-la,' and as he spoke this he crouched himself in a contorted position, and by a sort of backward sortie, quite unknown in the science of calisthenics, he proceeded to illustrate. "The ever vibrating sound of that expression has constantly goaded me, because existing evidence proves the assertion to be untrue. It takes but one glance behind us to bring positive proof that the Negro, both as an individual and as a race, is not retrogressing, but progressing—progressing at a pace hitherto unknown to a people, that the civilized world hesitates not to marvel. "From an intelligent standpoint of view the assertion needs no consideration, but from the financial status, whereas the Negro of fifty years ago had nothing, nor knew anything, save obedience and servitude, many of them are today in ownership, as a genius and in the intellectual sphere, a compeer to the Caucasian on any plane in life. "There are but few trades known to man in which the Negro race has not a representative co-worker. Aside from treading these avenues of life, corporations are being formed by them and successfully operated under a corporate ownership. Drugs seems to be the leading business under this head. Drug stores at present being successfully run by him in New York, Boston, Richmond, Va., Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md., Philadelphia, Atlanta, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., and many other places. Savings banks are established and maintained by the moneys of the Negro in fully as many cities as above named. Street car lines are owned and operated by him in Jacksonville, Fla., and Pine Bluff, Ark. Aside from these innovations (industrial) just mentioned, space allotted will not allow me to enumerate the great budget of commercial enterprises now in evidence under sole control of Negro management. "What does this show? It shows that the progressive spirit of the age is an omnipresent factor in the life of the Negro of today, and his success is significant of his acquired ability." In a recent lecture Booker T. Washington said that one-twenty-sixth of the soil of Virginia was owned by Negroes, according to official records. The Negro race developed more rapidly in the thirty years of its freedom than the Latin race in 1,000 years of freedom. About 65 per cent of Italians, 85 per cent of Spaniards, 70 per cent of Russians, and 80 per cent of South Americans, were illiterate. "In Georgia," said Mr. Washington, "$16,700,000 is the taxable value of Negro property. Probably the colored man has learned the lesson of hiding its real value from his white brother; the figures ought to be over $30,000,000."—Colorado Statesman. Athletics has undergone such a remarkable development the past half century that today an institution has almost as much thinkinfi to do in arranging the program on athletics as in revising and remodeling the curriculum. As a result of this fortunate evolution we find no part of the year lacking in the elements of good gymnastics. This is as it should be for with limp and placid muscles the brain refuses to respond to its full capacity corroborating the statement, with a sound body comes a sound mind. There was never a time when people were unmindful of their physical development and history records their fall forthwith. Games and competitive sports and athletics have been abused and continue to be abused—a farfetched indication of most imperfections. We see autumn athletics give place to more concentrated indoor gymnastics, each kind having its place in shaping and we regret to say in some cases misshaping, the bodies of young Americans. At the University much has Track been transpiring along the Meet. line of an indoor athletic meet. Dr. Roller, the physical director, with the assistance of some of his students has been working toward the development of a general gymnasium meet, in which he hopes to have contests of nearly all the interesting forms of gymnasium work. A track team has been forming in line for a preliminary and with it many other teams will be formed immediately. The material, in the opinion of the physical director, is firstclass for nearly all teams. The track tea mhas a number of experienced men in it who will uphold the prestige of the University in the coming contests. In wrestling there are a few who promise to be even better than the ordinary college or university can produce and much interest is taken in this form of gymnastics. The celebrated Japanese Jiu Jitsu will most probably be introduced as a series of wrestling tricks. The coming meet will therefore be an unusual feature in intercollegiate gymnastics. It is proposed that both Stanford and California Universities be invited to participate in this contest so that here will assemble the best physical material that the coast institutions can produce. The rowing is being urged and preparations for the Lake Washington races are being made with the utmost speed possible. The interest in Basket Ball Ball. is at the climax at present in Basket view of the final arrangement of the schedule. The two trips as proposed are as follows: The first trip to the east includes games with Roslyn Athletic Club, Yakima Idaho and Spokane Athletic Club. The other trip includes a wider range of territory as follows: The U. of Oregon Oregon Agricultural College, Berkely, Stanford, Oakland Y. M. C. A., and San Francisco Y. M. C. A. Both of these trips may be taken. The Meteor Athletic Club met the Snohomish High School ladies Basket Ball team at the Armory last Friday night. The game was not as good as we expected to see but for feminine agility it does very well. The Snohomish girls were easily the victors. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN In Golf the activity was as Golf much as could be expected, Links. for it seems that compara- tively very few people have thus far availed themselves of the advantages of golfing. This form of athletic indulgence which is so well suited to the business men of the city deserves better patronage than it seems to be getting. There are however a number of good golfers in the city who play with remarkable credit. Last Monday the local Golf Club met and defeated with apparent ease the Tacoma Golf Club on Lake Washtelve showed very creditable form and their playing was anything but poor. They were plainly handicapped in that the links here differ very much from the Tacoma links, the latter being a level stretch of territory whereas the Lake Washington links are extremely slopeing. Newton, Strout and Munn of the Locals did the most effective putting and driving, winning easily from their opponents. This does not indicate beyond change that the score may not be reversed when the Seattle golfers go to Tacoma as we hope they will soon. Bowling excites a due share Bowling of interest at this time be Alleys. cause there remain only two weeks in which to decide on the seasons champions. There seems to be a general bracing up all around so that no individual is so far beyond others as usual. Strikes and spares are more common occurrences now. than formerly and those strikes that are made do not elicit the same surprise on the part of the bowlers as they did some weeks ago, for it now feels that an occasional strike added to a goodly number of spares is necessary in order to maintain a respectable appearance on the alleys. In class A the Centrals have won 22 games and lost 14 giving them permission to take their place at the head of the class. The Columbians follow with 21 games won against 15 lost, which entitles them to second place. In class B the Navajos seem the invincibles having maintained first place for many weeks. Score 26 games won, 10 lost. The Ramblers and Siwashes are tied for second place, with a score of 24 won, 12 lost. The team which will represent Seattle in the National Bowling tournament is now chosen to the fifth man as follows: Jenkins, Reimer, Scherrer, Mahnken and Davis. For Seattle's first representation in the National tournament it seems safe to predict that through these men, much honor in bowling will be reflected upon Seattle when the finals are played in Milwaukee. BUILDING AND REALTY REVIEW. The realty operations the past week are quite suggestive of the trend of the Real Estate Business this quarter year. It seems that the rosy predictions were in noway ill time or incorrect when given in last weeks journals throughout the city. The Republican seasoned its judgment with moderation but always hoped that the dreams which it held though never completely expressed, would become more than true. We delight in the growing prospects of this city and every indication strengthening ones hopes for its growth comes as an increment to our happiness The year bids fair to be a good one particularly so in the sale of residence property. During the past week many good sales of residence property were made in the various additions throughout the city. A number of creditable sales were made by Sparkman & McLean Realty firm. Also by the firm of M. B. Jackson & Son and Bredes, Lebold & Cox and by A. C. Johnston. All the various realty firms seem to have fared well in their business the past week. A noteworthy sale was by Geo. M. Dilling to Thomas M. Green who secured lot 7 of block 2, O. A. Denny's addition for a consideration of $23,500. The lot is on 5th avenue between Pike and Union streets and is at present occupied by five-room houses. The purchase is considered a good one in view of the proposed Pike street improvement. F. L. Fehren & Co., disposed of several lots on 23rd avenue and Bellevue street for sums ranging from $500 to $2500. In building the week was productive of great activity. The larger building propositions are not so near consumption as yet, but many small buildings are being erected. One needs only to take a street car ride through the various additions to see that the building operations in good progress. The Seattle Security has almost completed arrangements for the construction of a four story brick building on First Avenue So., 130x150 at a cost of a considerable sum of money, somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000. The work will be commenced soon. In smaller building we note as active a week as any for many months. There were many permits taken out for new structures the past week, some of the noteworthy constructions prepared we record as follows: Wolfe & Co. will build a three-story basement front building 36x120 at 815 East Pike street. The building which will be modern in every way will cost $6000. T. M. Krimball will soon build a house at 2408—8th Ave. W., to cost $1200. W. F. Neal will erect a two story frame house at 520—19th Ave., to cost $1800. Joseph Conway will soon build a two story frame building for flats at 512 514—2nd Ave. W., at a cost of $2200. Manning Riggen will erect at 5257 15th Ave. N.E., a frame cottage at a cost of $1400. S. B. Agnew will construct two one-story houses at 530-534—26th Ave. S., at a cost of $2400. S. F. Harrell has filed plans for the erection of four two-story frame houses two at 1709-1713 E. Marion St., and two at 926-930—17th Ave. The houses will cost $1650 each. F. P. Mullen has filed plans for a two-story frame and basement house to be built at 2704 Boylston Ave. N., to cost $2000. I. N. Just has filed plans for the erection of an elaborate planned residence at 1423 E. Valley St., 30x44. The building is to be two stories high and contain a basement of commodious size. The cost will be about $6500. H. L. Bennett has filed plans for the erection of a frame dry kiln at 919 Bayview St., to cost $1200. O. Lillesburg has filed plans for a one-story frame cottage to be built at 5511—15th Ave. N.E., to cost $1200. V. A. Churchill will son build a two-story frame house at 4131—12th Ave. N.E. to cost $1200. FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1905. W. L. Sigel has secured his plans for the erection of a frame residence at 333—16th Ave. to cost $3000.
