10 BARGAINS IN REAL ESTATE ' 4 il HB*I I' I II I yffl HI ■ i| . ■ ■ . .■■.■■•-.»:■ •". ■> -: .*. ■' ' ■ • .:■ ■ ' AN ATTRACTIVE COTTAGE HOME One of the prettiest houses In the country. It is being built for a client by T. F. Curtis at Irving avenue S and Thirty-fourth street; is fully modern, with hot water beat, laundry, vegetable cellar, basement floors cement, main floor hardwood, man tels, grates, sideboard, bookcase, ice box, full nickel porcelain plumbing, six rooms downstairs, with one sleeping-room for servant and billiard-room above. House and lot $4,000. Realty in Minneapolis The Improvement Bulletin makes the Sallowing comment on the report in the Duluth News-Tribune that the man who will build a hundred small, neat, com fortable, moderate-priced houses to rent In that city will be hailed as a public benefactor And will be making a very paying Investment at the same time: People at* Bald to be actually prevented from locating In Duluth because of Inability to find such houses. Duluth is not alone in its glory In this respect It is a common complaint in almost all the growing cities of the northwest. A demand so strenuous "would ordinarily bring on a prompt if not en excessive supply. But investors nave as a rule Ignored this Macedonian cry. They fc&ve built fiat buildings galore, a good many large modern houses and more small houses neither modern nor otherwise attrac tlce, Small modern houses, to rent to people of modest means but refined tastes, have been th« exception to the rule. Such houses can be built for from $1,500 to $2,000 and If Ae&trably located will pay a good return on the Investment, renting for from $15 to $25 per month, aocordlng to location. With in terest rates ranging from 2 to 6 per cent on bonds, stocks and mortgage loans, such a proposition, would seem to be a fairly good Situation In Minneapolis. Similar complaints are made in Minne apolis. Not long ago The Journal called attention to the fact that 100 houses tor renting were wanted at once In North east Minneapolis. T. F. Curtlß, the pioneer builder of oottages for sale In Minne apolis, accounts for the scarcity by the tact that the moneyed men do not want to build houses for rent. He says also that he would build more cottages to sell if he could get more money. On the other hand, the capitalists seem to prefer to loan money to builders at 6 per cent rather than Incur trouble and net 12 per cent themselves. A reason for the scar city of moderate-priced houses for sale is the fact tnat nearly every purchaser demands a thoroughly modern house and the modern Improvements alone to-day cost $1,500, thus bringing the price of the, house and lot up to at least $3,500. The "Curtis" houses in Calhoun park axe familiar. At least 150 lots have been cold there to persons Intending to build. Forty cottages have been erected in that section by Mr. Curtis and ten are under way. The distinction of these cottages Is their artistic exteriors. In the early days when "Bill" King and Colonel MoOrory built the pavilion at Calhoun, the colonel thought that part of the city better than Park avenue or lowry Hill. The lots were held by him at $2,500, and he considered it a shame to sell them for less. The revival started about four years ago, when this property was put on the market and lots were sold at all the way from $800 to $600 each. They are held now at from $500 to $1,000, having the advantage of the lake and absence from the noise and dirt of the city. Origin of Cottage Building Here. Mr. Curtis has been a builder for twenty years, and has been putting up cottages for the last seven. He makes all the de signs and plans himself, and thus insures originality. He gives the origin of the cottage plan in Minneapolis as follows: For the last fifteen winters I have been going to California. On my trips I saw so many pretty homes of beautiful architectural designs, which cannot be beaten, I under stand, anywhere in the world, that I took photographs of them, carrying many plans In my head. The Idea came to me, why not have the like In Minneapolis? The only objection to the California house* was that they spread over so much ground that they were too expensive and too difficult to heat In Minnesota. I build them here, how ever, so that they can be heated economical ly. Th«y are mostly one-story buildings, or perhaps on* and a half, with two sleeping rooms or a bedroom and a billiard room on the second floor. Mr. Curtis also stared the instalment plan of paying for these cottages and he ha* been successful.

We have several propositions, but the property is not yet sold. Will submit offers in excess of 912,000. Here is an opportunity to get a coming piece of business property at a cheap price.

Here is a fine property 66x165 ft, in every way desirable for future im provement ■ We wish to make sale of both the the above pieces of property at once. No offers less than 812,000 will be sub mitted. At the price above mentioned, they ought to be a snap. Investigate at once. No sufficiently attractive proposition has thus far been made on the Windom and Loring Buildings. The owners will proceed at once to rebuild the property unless a sale is made. The walls and foundation of the-e buildings are almost intact, and the buildings can be put in first class order at a mod erate expense. Now is the time to buy them. If they are remodeled they will not be for sale. Let us have another proposition from some one at once. Ee xnember, the dimensions of the prop erty are 66x157 feet Contracts will be let early next week for the remodeling of the property. This is absolutely the last chance for a purchaser. lars Is required to be paid down and the balance in stated amounts each month, with 6 per cent interest. Said Mr. Curtis: The Installment Plan. While many condemn the instalment plan, I could, name forty or more persons who have homes paid for who would not have had them unless they had bought them in this way.- I am stopped nearly every week by those who tell me that they have their homes nearly paid for and are feeling very good over it. I have had ten year's experience and have not lost a Bale yet, except where purchasers leave the city, and in these cases 1 have been able to sell for them. The interest of the people in these cot tages is shown by the fact that inquiries number four or five a day. Mr. Curtis pur chases about fifty lots a year. He has adopted the plan of selling the lot at cost and charging about 10 per cent for his work in building, even then selling the house at least 10 per cent below the cost to the purchaser, had he built for himself, paying cash for everything. He holds the houses to the $4,000 limit, as being safer both for himself and for the purchaser. High Prices to Blame. W. J. Bishopp, one of the founders of Kenwood, who has built many homes for sale in that district, says that the high price of material and labor has much to do with scarcity of houses. The class of houses which he builds are of six and nine rooms and cost as high as $10,000. The people are calling for small, modern houses, but he says it Is almost impossi ble to build a six-room modern house for less than $8,000. The David C. Bell Investment company has two cottages to sell on this plan under way; one at 2808 and another at 2837 Twenty-seventh avenue S. The company had built one and sold it and concluded to try the plan further. It is found that when lots are unsalable they will find a market when a well-built house is in cluded. Twenty applicants were on hand to rent the above house before it was completed and a purchaser was found within thirty days after it was finished. From 300 to 500 houses could be rented In the city a the present time at from $10 to $15 per month. Edmund G. Walton has a house at SOOI [Portland avenue which will be sold on the Instalment plan. The terms are $1,000 down and $500 every sixx months until $4,500 Is paid, with interest. The Keith company made the plans and the house Is a model of the style of Instalment houses which finds a ready sale in Min neapolis. The plumbing and improvements are of the very latest design. The Wal ton company has built two $2,250 houses at Pillsbury and Thirty-fifth which will sell for $500 down and $30 a month. The bathroom and kitchen are fitted with por celain and nickel fixtures. T. P. Healy, J. and W. A. Elliott, H. G. Darrow and other contractors of the city have been building houses to cell for several years with much success, but the demand for the cheaper houses for sale and rent has not yet been met. The "Walton Park Auction. Edmund C. Walton is keeping his pro ject for the disposition of Walton Park before the people by Ingenious adver tising. Next Saturday's auction will be a decided novelty In Minneapolis. It will be attended by nearly every real estate man In the city, and by a majority of agents from St. Paul. Some will be drawn by curiosity, but the greater part desire to learn the good points of the new plan which Mr. Walton is advocating; others will come to see what success the famous auctioneer land mover of real estate, Cyrus Campbell, will have with a Minne apolis people. "LIKE HOT CAKES" The Way the Walton Park Lota Are Expected to Sell. j The big real estate auction to take place next Saturday afternoon, and evening, is the most talked of event in Mineapolia g to-day. The idea has struck a popular chord, and not only will ■ a . great number of - purchasers be present, but thousands of sightseers -will be there, too. The sale (promises to toe the liveliest ever held in this city. Two hundred and forty lota are to be sold in five. hours time. Only a trine more than a minute can bo spent on each sale, and the property must be sold at a much faster rate than property has ever been sold at in this city, in order to get through with the day's business. Time Is valuable in this sale, and if the bid ding is slow the auctioneer will have to knock down, the lota in quick succesion. Persons buying in a real estate, auction of this kind can secure, property cheap if they know what they want, , but they must decide what they will give before they come t r > the sale, as Mr. Walton can better alford to sell the lots for leas money;- than \to . waste time waiting for persons who do not know what they want. •Mr. Walton has decided upon this sale in order to guide him in his future busi ness. - He \ has f secured options on > large tracts of valuable lands in the '[ city and before closing these very important deals, he wants to get j some public expression regarding '. the value , of them. The amount . involved in the other - deals is so , large that Mr. _ Walton is unwilling to close the " deals until he has made a practical ' test of the market. . The . effect ot I the sale .will be of enor mous importance to the city,. and the prices obtained at the sale - will serve as a guide in estimating values in other sections of the city.

New York, July 13.—Some definite prog ress in the current scheme for a soft coal consolidation has apparently been made. It is understood that interests back of the Unites States Steel corporation are engineering a large underwriting syndi cate in the interest of that concern. Ac cording to current reports underwriting is being arranged for a $60,000,000 com pany which shall include several leading eastern coal interests. At the moment it does not appear that tihe statement of a general consolidation of the soft coal industry is under active negotiation. The organization of the current syndicate, however, is regarded as one step in a lsrger plan. A COMPLICATED SITUATION. Puck. "In dealing with the representatives of the powers," said the aged Chinese states man, "I should not recommend duplicity " "NoT" said the rising young diplomat "No. Duplicity, as I understand It, comes from the Latin word duplex, and is appropri ate in dealings between two parties; but, as there are half a dozen powers, and as it is necessary to treat with each, I should recom mend what I might call multiplicity."

It is not right that young men should call on young women and at parting kiss them, or that at a social gathering games should be played in which kissing is the forfeit paid. The practice is abominable. "I warn young people against that curse —kissing parties. It is the beginning of a notorious ending. I am particularly op posed to kissing parties on New Year's Day, when both male and female kiss each other under' the mistletoe." Monsignor Seton Is 62 years old. He is a prince of the Roman Catholic church. Count of Lateran, a papal order of no bility, and is fond of wearing the insignia of his office. He spent his boyhood In Westchester county, where his father set tled. He was a friend of Edgar Allan Poe, who was a neighbor. Next to his church and his country— he is a most patriotic American —his proudest boast Is his ancestry. He is an indefatigable student of genealogy. A year and a half ago he published an ex haustive genealogy entitled, "The Setons in Scotland and America." The Setons were related to Rollo, Duke of Normandy, and were allied by marriage and bonds of friendship 'with Robert Bruce, King of Scotland. Avenals, who afterward took the name of Say, which in later years be came Sayton and then Seton, fought In the battle of Hastings. Monslgnor Seton's grandmother was the founder of Seton Hall college, East Or ange, N. J. ( and of the order of Sisters of Charity In this country. She was su perior of a convent in Maryland. Mother Seton Is now undergoing the process of beatification, which takes fourteen year*. SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 13. 1901.

London, July 13.—The rumor that the continental powers intend to combine in a boycott of American goods when the commercial treaties expire la regarded in England merely as suggestion by angry Viennese trademen who expect to be un dersold. The Spectator points out that statesmen are only too well aware that unless Oreat Britain were included in a tariff war, American goods would be sim ply purchased by Englishmen and sent out at a nominal increase in price. Besides trade is not one-aided, and the stoppage of all American purchases would be more felt on the continent than in America. -■ The census returns show that Marseilles Is now the second city of .
