Federal Game Preserve 



The Pisgah national forest in western North farolina has been de- 

 clared a game preserve, the first of the kind east of the Mississippi 

 river. It was some time ago proposed to stock this tract with buffaloes, 

 and if it is done the result will be watched with interest to see if these 

 animals will remain within the bounds or wander away to batten in 

 the cornfields of neighboring farmers. 



Decline in Horse Vehicles 



Statistics showing the number of horse vidiicles, exclusive of farm 

 wagons, manufactured yearly in the United .States for 1900 to 1915. both 

 Inclusive, weVe embodied in the brief filed with the Interstate Commerce 

 Commission by John U. Walker, attorney for the National Implement & 

 Vehicle Association, in Docket No. 8131, in the hearing on lunil)cr classi- 

 fication rates. In 1906 there were 1.292.873 vehicles made in the United 

 States ; in 1915 there were 523.578. This was a decline ot more than 

 half in ten years. The inroail upon the Ms-'ht horse vi'hicle is chargeable 

 to the automobile. 

 Comparative Statement of Building Operations for October 



It would lie easy to give good reasons for a decline in Iniibling opera- 

 tions for the month of October. I'rominently among them would be the 

 steadily rising prices for building material. Pre-election uncertainties 

 and precautions due to the foreign outlook might be included. Hut 

 construction work in October Ignored all restrictive influences. It makes 

 the best showing for many months. 



The official reports of building permits issued in 111 of the principal 

 cities of the Unitc<l States for October, as received by the Amrnciin 

 Contractor, Chicago, total .$86,128,805, as compared with .$07,882,891 

 for October last year, an increase of 27 per cent. The Octol.er statement 

 this year also shows a decided increase over the statement of the pre- 

 ceding month, which was .$72,735,704. The number of permits issued in 

 these 111 cities In October was 28,004, compareil with 24,467 for Octo- 

 ber, 1915. From whatever comparison nuidc the report seems highly 

 favorable.
