ifirtMTth Very Itniild.
Home Builders is one of the firms that
has made rapid progress. Within two
years it has become well known all over
the west because of its conservative
policy. It Is much like the Home Butld
rs company of Los Angeles, the leading
example of Its kind In the world.
There are more than 400 shareholders In
the local company, and this number is
being Increased each week. The books
of the company show that the growth
of Home Builders is much faste'r each
month this year than It was during the
torrespondlng month of last year.
Since Home Builders began the erec
tion of homes, a year ago, more than
fifty pretty residences havo been put
up, and more than ten of these are now
under construction. The plans of Home
Builders are so acceptable that the de
li and for the company's homes Is great.
Canada Says He is
Not Ready to Quit
Pursuit of Wicked
W. T. Canada, chief of the Union Pa
cific's secret service department, is con
siderably exercised over a report that
has been put In circulation to the effect
that he is to resign. Mr. Canada denies
that he has any Intention of quitting tho
Union Pacific service, or of giving up liU
present position. Ho says tho report bei
came current In this manner. Recently
a party called at Canada's office and re
marked: "Bill, when arc you going to resign, or
retire?" and to the question Canada re
plied: "I guess about October, 1917."
Inquiry nt the offices of tho general
manager of the Union Pacific, the offlco
to which Canada reports, develops tho
fact that the retirement of the chief -of
the secret service has never been sug
gested, or Intimated. Canada has been
chief of his department a little more
than twenty-two years.

Big Builder Says
Hotel to Cost More
Donald G. Scott, representative of
James Stewart & Co., builders of the
Union Pacific and other buildings of
Omaha, has told the directors ot the
Fontenelle hotel that the building would
cost more than the Onondago of Syra
cuse, the pattern hotel, which his com
pany built. All materials are higher in
price here, he says, and the hotel could
not be reproduced for less than 300,000.
The Onondago was built for about $750,000
and his company lost money on It, he
said.
Thomas II. Kimball, the architect, Is
working on the plans, which were re
manded to him by the directors after
several contractors bid above tho $00,000
cost they had set. He Is eliminating
some of the features of the hotol that
are nqt absolutely necessary and will re
submit his plans soon.

granted a decree of divorce Thursday

on wearing old clothes, and that he was
jealous and falt-flndlng. She said for
