AMERICAN CITIES IN 1912.
The growiii oi our cities, phe
nomenal in many instances, al
ways arouses interest, ami one
need not wait, for the decennial
census to get a true indication ol
their relative rise. The building
reports, which are without incen
tive to exaggeration, are a sure
index.
Reports for the year, with es
timates for the last day or two,
have been made up. New* York,
of course, leads, with its phe
nomenal growth not only main
tained but increased. No other
city ever equalled or approached
it. Chicago is installed duly in
second place, with rather less
than half the amount of build
ing that. New York has done.
But below these two, import
ant changes are occurring. Phil
adelphia, an undisturbed third for
decades, still holds the position
in 1912, hut by a narrow margin
Los Angeles is close upon her. II
is a singular fact that this city,
not so long ago a sleepy half
Mexican town, is now the fourth
of the Union in building opera
lions. It spent for that purpose
twice as much money as Cleve
land, nearly three times as much
as Pittsburg, Minneapolis or Kan
sas City, and 50 per cent more
4han St. Louis.
San Francisco is considerably
behind Los Angeles, but is sev
eral million dollars ahead of St
Louis, while Detroit leads San
Francisco by a fair margin. The
building operations for this aim
the preceding years since the cen
sus indicate that Detroit is grow
ing faster than any other of the
lake cities except Chicago.
Allanla has achieved more in
1912 than any other city in the
South, but Louisville, Richmond,
Dallas and Memphis have grown
much, according to (heir build
ing reports. The greatest ratio ot
development is shown on the Pa
trifle coast. It will surprise many
people to learn that Portland,
Ore., has spent more money on
new buildings than Buffalo oi
Dallimore or Newark or Kansas
City, and that it stands in tenth
place. Seattle lias also built
heat ily.

Perhaps the Senate has ex

It is really a dispensation of

A deputy marshal chased 7fi

Reading Mr. Pinchot’s opinion
of himself, one is disposed to
wonder just what would become

It is a discouraging fad that
many a man who prates about so

neglects to shovel the snow off his

It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll And we re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product: brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in tin- growth and prosper
