This, coupled predictions from all over the country, that the coming year win be a hummer, are causing those who have been waiting to buy to loosen up and invest now to forstall higher prices. We have' had several offers this week for high-class residence properties, which have beeri refuse1.

These offers (have been reasonably close to prices askod; but the low price of lumber as against the higher prices paid some few years ago still has its influence in determining the offers of buyers.

Hereafter the Lincoln classes will occupy the large and Imposing now structure which covers that naif the block i fronting on Alice streat. The other-half will be laid out as a playground for the pupils who have been using Lincoln: Square for that purpose during the many years the new building been In course of construction. But for the great earthquake of April, 1906, the building would have been ready for use three years ago, but not being then designed to be proof against earthquake, the walls, had been raised to the level of the first floor, were so badlv shuttered that they haJ to be torn down, new plans drawn to make an earthquake-proof structure, and" a long wait had to be endured until the structural steel for It was delivered. Then came another delay, caused through defects In building, which fcetrayed structural weaknesses, against which provision had to be made a considerable additional exrene. The interior finish was finally completed aunnx me vacation season.
