WMlle 'local builders .ml contractors do not report any large contracts other than have al resdy been announced, building of a smallen nature will be carried out to such an extent that all carpenters will be kept busy all summer. The Ashland Lumber company made the statement this week that business Is extremely good with tliera at the present time. More building material has been sold dur ing the first half of this month, ac cording to Manager Fred Patton. from this lumber yard than has been made for the past five or six months. The Carson-Fowler Lumler company has the same story to tell. Lumber orders for repairing and Improving properties are constantly being tak en, while quantities of paint are be ing sold by the latter company as well as Swenson & McRae and W. O. Dickerson, who Is disposing of large orders of wall paper also. All of these industries state that men are hard to get at present to meet the demand for labor, while team work Is almost at a premium. The demand for hoilses is so great this spring that many of the older ones that have been left In a run down, condition are being now repaired and fitted up into comfort able residences for renting purposes.
