Lumber and sacramento Advantages

Lumber and Sacramento Advantages.
Sacramento is q large lumber market.
1t ought to be very much larger one. 1t
will be, and that at no very distant day.
Its nearness to mountain timber, notably
the sugar and yellow pine growth; its ca
pacity to receive lumber from coast mills,
because of economy and advantages OF
storage here, equaliZe the cost of trans
portation; and the ease with which lum-
Der shipments can be handled and made
in all directions from this center; all these
things tend to designate Sacramento as a
point peculiarly adapted for lumber stor-
age and disposition. Lumber stored here
seasons in this dry atmosphere, as it
never can in the humid air of the coast.
1t, therefore, ships light, goes to the con-
wears better in any construction than
lumber that is kept in moist climate
especially if the lumber is to be put into
valley or foothill dwellings or other
structures.
Lumber dealers and consumers recog-
nize these advantages, and the RECORD
UNION has frequently dwelt upon them.
1t was wisdom, then, for the climatic
advantage, if for nothing else, to use lum-
Der in the Weinstock, Lubih Il Co. build
ing handled by city dealers. One of
these firms is Richards & Knox, whose
offices and main yards are at Second and
M streets, and whose branch yard is at
Front and Q streets. This enterprising
house furnished all the lumber worked
into the great building, and all that they
supplied was of the very best quality of
Puget Sound cut, and for shelving and
the like OF the best tmountain yellow pine.
As result the examining engineer from
San Francisco, when he critically in
spected the building toward the close of
the construction, pronounced the work of
the best order, and that wood as well as
iron work could be no better for strength.
Richards & Knox do very large bust

being perceptible, without accident and
without single employe of the 362 in the
store, or one of the 1900 daily visitors to
the establishment being incommoded.
1t was remarkable piece of work;
something that hundreds of people who
assumed to know the art and labor in
volved declared could not be done-but
1t was and every piece is to-day fitted to
place as II 1t were fine joinery, and is as
hrm and strong as If the workers had
not accomplished their work under the
very peculiar circumstances described in
this article.
OF course, terrible risk was taken,
but owing to the capacity of Mr.. Bige-
low to grasp huge problems and his ex-
ecutlve ability, the risk was assumed
and the scheme of the designers of the
building carried out in smallest detail,
with absolute precision and perfect sue
cess. 1t must be borne in mind that a
part of this great work was the placing of
the dozen or more sphinx columns, each
fifty-four feet in hight, and that these
had to be set up through the old store
while business went on in it.
The firm of Bigelow 81 Little now has a
S53, 900 contract for road and dams from
Mariposa to Yosemite Valley. They em-
ploy from fifty to sixty men, have the
finest and latest machinery for architect
ural construction on the coast, are sole

Whoever will take occasion when they
enter the Weinstock, Lubin & Co. build
ing to take note of the immense amount
of iron work in the structure, and how
much the strength, symmetry and safety
of the edifice depends upon such work,
will at once realize the stupendous task
Bigelow & Little had and with what emf
nent success they accomplished their
task. The work will, indeed, stand as a
self-speaking record to the energy, skill
and splendid workmanship Of Bigelow q

One of the Iron-workers.

Among the pioneer mechanics of the
Pacific Coast is James Mcclure of Sacra-
mento. For so many years that we can
not recall the date this veteran iron
worker has done business in the CAPITAL
City. It should be source of pride to
him that his name will go down in the
architectural annals of this city, to which
he is so much attached. as closely related
to all the more important buildings of the
place.
By no means the least Of these is the
superb edifice of Weinstock, Iubin a
Co., now under review. For this beauti-
full building, the largest retail mercantile
structure of the Pacific Coast. Mr.. Me-
Guire did a large part of the exterior iron
work under a sub-contract. He made
and placed the iron beams on the exte-

rior and all the corrugated arches upon
which the cement walks are laid along the
entire K-street and Fourth-street lines.
That this work was done thoroughly
and well is testified to by all related in
any way to it.
Mr.. Mcclure has not confined his busi-
ness to Sacramento, but in iron and steel
vaults, roofs, truSSes, walls, Orders,
plates and all manner of heavy iron
work IN houses, prisons, bridges, banks,
ETC., his work will be found IN important
buildings throughout Northern and Cen
tral California, and up and down the
coast.

Plumbing and Heating, Etc.
The plumbing and drainage of the
building was executed by the house of

firm, which in very few years has built
up large and important business in Sac

The Painters Art.

j. J. Dunckhorst, of 1925 street,
worked for Krebs Il Co. for four years be-
fore establishing himself in business. He
has now been his own master for seven
years, and has built up an excellent busi-
ness by fidelity to his custom, faithful
ness to his trade and thoroughness in all
he does. He makes specially of interior
decorating, paper-hanging and finely ex-
ecuted painting of interiors. In and on
many of the prominent buildings of the
city his work appears. In the Weinstock,
Lubin q Co. building there is on every
hand the witnesses to his skill and the
care and taste he exercises Not all of
the work he has to do in the structure is
completed, but the visitor will have no
difficulty whatever in judging of the
quality of this master painter by exam
ination of the work he has done upon
this superb building.

These master builders who took up the

originally for Carle d Croly, the we'll
known contractors, whose work is to he
found throughout the State. Eight years
ago Sprague & Elliott set up for them
selves. They have had a splendid sue
cess, doing work in large number of
places all over the coast; and have built
up an enviable reputation for good con-
struction and for capacity to handle
massive jobs and large contracts.
In Sacramento they have worked on
the beautiful and large buildings of l..
Mebius, w. h. Terry, G. Z. Dillman,
Hale Bros. 81 Co., Mohr IL Yoerk and
others. Though they put up the magnifi-
cent building, under notice, over the
heads of 362 employees, and were engaged
in the work for nearly aswhole year,
these premier contractors did not iniure a
single employe of all that number, and
suffered the embarrassment of not sin
gle accident to any of the thousands of
people who passed in and out doing busi-
ness beneath and in the midst of their
work.
The Work of the Master Masons.
Inc building was constructed, as we
have already said, under the most pecul-
lar circumstances. 1t was built over and
around the former store. in which the
business of Weinstock, Lubin 6c Co. was
conducted meanwhile, with thousands of
people passing in and out, and over $50
employees engaged in waiting upon them.

markable achievement, and so it was.

The Contract and Contractors.

The Contract and Contractors.
We venture to say that never before in
the history of the Pacific Coast-possibly
not in the history of the United States
was such a contract undertaken as was
assumed by Sprague d Elliott when they
signed to erect the great building we have
so inadequately described. and put it up
over the old store where some $50 en-
ployes, We're daily at work, and from two
TO three thousand persons trading daily,
and yet at no time stop or interrupt the
business of the firm.
1t required NERVE" to undertake such
heroic task, and nerve of no common
order. When the contractors sat down
in their own establishment. at I0l7 Tenth
street, to consider the problem, the speei-
fications involved, before signing the pa
pers binding them 10 such novel, and,
to many, an impossible task, they must
have felt much trepidaJion.
They were to build about the largest
retail store on the coast-a building five
times its size Ito remove the old store
and leave the new one in its place. and
vet not for one hour interrupt the con-
duct ofthe business or incommode single

plished. aud 1t viii stand, SO long as the
