That would mean that they would cost at least $750,000,000, but another way of setting a price would be adopted by which the cost to the government would be reduced to not more than $375,- 000,000. If the mines were na tionalized, Mr. Hardie declares coal would be sold at a price, just as postage stamps are at present, and the cost of coal to a given exceed one-half of what was now being paid, By the plan under considera- tion, the mines would not be con- trolled by a manager appointed by the government, managed on mueh the same lines the national railways in France.

Mon- day night he will address a pub- lie meeting of citizens. Realty Market Brisk Other lines of business may be somewhat quiet in town hut the | real estate market certainly goes jinarehing on. As an evidence of {this it is interesting to note that of the fifty lots advertised in these columns two weeks ago by trola as first prize, a $100 gold watch as second prize, and $50 cash as third . When all the lots are sold thé purchasers draw for the prizes. The terms on which those lots are sold of course have much to do with their sale,. All the cash required at the time of sale is $35, and who is it that could not afford a deposit of that size. The balanee of the purehase price is payable at only #415 per month, It would appear that there is a double benefit to be derived by purchasers’ of these lots. The owner can look for. ward to the time when he can own his own little home, but at jthe same time the monthly pay. jments act as a special incentive ito thriftiness, }H. F.

A delivery rig belonging to Stalker & Wells was blown com- pletely over by the high wind yes- terday afternoon. The accident happened at the corner of Fifth avenue and McBride street. An- gel Astoria, the man in charge, was thrown out in the most pre- cipitate fashion and suffered a nasty injury to the sole of his foot, being calked in some way by the horse. He was taken to the hospital and had some stitches put in before returning to his home. It will probably be a couple of weeks before he will be able to be around again.
