The practice Of Eastern spectators in
Puget sound shingles OF ordering carloads
Of shingles shipped to junction points on
the Northern Pacific and there holding
them until they could find sale for the
product will have to stop. The practice
worked an injustice to all those Ieeiti-
mateiy in the lumber and shingle bust
ness, both here and in the Eastern cities,
and also to the railroad company. 1t en-
abled them to do wholesale shingie busi-
ness without any capital. using the cars
and station yards of the railroad company
for their shingle yards and sheds without
paying anything for it. 1t gave them an
advantage Of the Eastern houses. who
have to store large part Of the product in
their yards. The practice has been q
nuisance to the Northern Pacific road, and

circular to all agents OF that road on the

CATION Company will handle the Canadian

the general belief.
The arrangement goes into effect tomor-

Of Seattle will be taken off the outside run
to Beiiingham bay and that the Northern
Pacific's business TO thar point will be
handled by the Pacific Navigation Com
pany. The City of Seattle Is now at the

orders have been issued that the crew, in
Guiding every man On board. be paid off

other boats which the deal is likely to

A lecture recently delivered by Gen. William
Sooy Smith before the students of the political
economy department OF the Northwestern
University at Evanston contains much food for
thought on practical lines. The lecturer spoke
of the risk u.ing steel as framework for tall
buildings and the danger of placing them on
insecure foundations. He described the typical
great building now going up in Chicago as a
gaunt skeleton of steel rising aloft. which is
gradually clothed from story to story with
rigid flesh of stone and brick tile and mortar
and with such integument becoming habitable
edifice.
The lecturer said that with each change of
temperature the steel skeleton expands or con-
tracts and becomes creeping, crawling thing,
apparently striving to throw off its clothing
especially if exposed to such heat as results
from the burning of great quantities Of COM
bustible goods stored in ii. or from the burning
of neighboring buildings. There is great danger
from these in spite of the means usually en-
ployed to protect the metal from heat-namely,
the tile covering put upon il. for this covering
will become SO hot as to conduct enough heat
to the steel to expand it and crack off the tile.
There may he steel buildings in which the fire.
proofng was SO well done that they will pass
if the steel becomes even moderately heated its
stiffness will be measurably diminished. and the
strength of the upright members SO much re-
duced as to cause them to bend and Weld to the
unequal expansion of the horizontal beams due
to the same change in temperature. In such case
the building will be Likely to come down with
crash. The Tribune building at Minneapolis
was utterly destroyed as a result of the expan-
sion caused by heat.
