ENGINE ROOM.

IN the space indicated by the word
wreck" an awful spectacle was present
ed. The three floors, with their 3xl2
and 2xl2 joists, had been carried to the
basement. Most of the larger timbers
were broken and the parts shivered into
hundreds Of pieces. The whole mass OF
wheat aud broken beams and boards lay
piled in confused heap upon The
ground The large grain scales and tho
office furniture were buried ut the bot
tom, crushed to atoms. The most rea-
sonablo theory Of the cause Of the acci-
dent IS that weak joist in the third
floor gave away under the immense
weight of the wheal--over 100000
pounds. This threw renewed weight
upon the adjacent joists, which also gave
way in turn. and the entire mass, falling
upon the second floor, crushed that as il
it had been an egg shell. The first floor,
which was of two-inch plank supported
by 3xl2 joists IA inches apart did not
stop the descending mass. Nearly all
the joists in this floor we're broken in
twain and the heavy flooring boards
reduced to kindling wood. Underneath
the first floor, in the basement, WAS the
receiving bin-a large v shaped COM
partment running the entire length Of
the building. The south half Of this bin
WAS flattened to the ground, and all the
spouting attached to it was demolished.
The entire mass of wheat-nearly 1000
bushels spread out in all directions over
the basement floor.

cinity Of your young and prosperous
city, in the way of illustration to help
guide them in laying a solid foundation
and point out the rich reward tina,
awaits the contamination Of the noble
work they are about TO undertake
There arc in each township 36 sections
Of land. Let US divide it among u
farmers. That will give each ono 32O
acres. They want an elevator Of 30, ,OU
bushels capacity 1T u cost Of $500.
How are they going to get it, their f.
nancial resources being rather limited
to pay the required amount! Let them
organize a stock company and each far
mer take$lOO worth Of stock payable an
nually for four equal payments at $2t
each. This would net them Ut the end
Of four years 5000. That would not be
very unreasonable elevator charges on q
farm of 32O acres. After that time il
becomes FREQ from debt and they can dc
with it as they SEQ fit.
