Every week more raqueiu com. la to the commute, to animate the value of Tirtou. piece., of property. It la a dlffl colt work, but the commute, haa become qulu proficient la It The matter of placing a price mark on a vacant lot In any portion of the city Is comparatively uy for them. Ertlmatlna the value of bulldlnaa, however, Is another Utm. At thla, though, the local valuation ex pert, are not maklna any harder work than the experts all over the country or all over the world, are making of It. It 1. a fact wall recognised by real estate men.- builders and private dealers In properties, that to estimate the value of a building one must take In so many things for consideration that the Intrica cies of the problem seldom can be fer reted oit to a solvabla basis or a basis from which an absolutely correct conclu sion can be reached. The price, on building., eld and new. cannot be accurately placed. If a building Is brilliantly planned, built well upon a good site all that can be said of H Is that It may lncreaw la value. In this esse It usually Increases In value despite th. wear and tear of time. But the fact remains that the majority of buildings are not so subject to such commandatloa. Most buildings decline In value and the natural depredtatloa ta materially aided by fault, of planning or construction, or both. In estimating the value of a building, the commltte. must tak. Into eon!dera tlon among the first thing.. It. lighting. The stupid arrangement of windows la a building, neeeuitatlng- artificial lights, always means a demerit mark for that building. Its value always decline, and. In the majority of cues, decline, rapidly, became, tor one reason poor lighting sug gests poor ventilation and poor ventila tion poor health. Another point Is ths penury, or, not to be so blunt or extravagant, the econom ical view of the builder. It has been said that many building, are ao economically constructed that their value decrease, until, by the time they are completed, they are not worth three-fourths of their coat. ' Aa most people Jump at the fancies of dreea, there are aome builders who rush In with their plans and .pecirieationa to erect a structure according to the latest architectural fashion. And like the faacles of drees, these buildings soon are out of style. Practical builder, are thoe. who eaek lo construct aa edifice or house that will suit the purpose of its tenant not only tor today, but tor a long time into the future. - These are tome of the point, the valua tion committee of the exchange haa to oonelder In arriving at a logical price for a building. One llttl. point that la not so difficult to aes. Is the question Of loca tion or site. In building, one should ever remember that a structure should not be toe good for Its neighborhood end, on the ether hand, a neighborhood should not be too good for the structure, Buch a build ing alwaya la a losing proportion. - l.vnn CamnbalL of the Byron Re.1 mmm h.a ha4 a. hard luofe leterv for hi. friend, this week.

Union Pacific to Show Falling Off in Its Net Revenue Advance Information Indicates that for ths fiscal year ending June K, UIX the Union Pacific will earn 14 per cent tor in t2lt,4CT.M of common stock, a against !. per cent for UU. ' It la said that tb falling off in th percentage of earnings is not due to a lack of business, but on account of aa lucre In operating . expenee. For instance: In Itl, taking ntn month for comparison, lbs operating ratio per mile waa aki per cent; the gross earning, 110, 13 and the net. HIM per mile. In WU the operating ratio Increased to t7.3t per cent, while the groe earnings fall to .!. and ths net to (3.041 per mile. A large portion of the difficulty In connection with tbe financial condition la attributed to the March weather and the floods. For a portion of that month the Union Pacific', main line Into Omaha wa out of cemmluion, so that Its trains had to be routed over other line.
