Description OF the Power Pi.nt In the
Machinery Building.


Down the long, arched perspectives of the
Interior OF the machinery building there Is
more of noise and life and motion than In
any other portion Of jackson ps-k. Sounds
OF the hammer and trowel and the deep, re-
sounding clang OF heavy boiler plates follow
so fast upon each other that echo has no
chance to repeat them. Gradually mechani-
cal beauties are rising out of the general
chaos and the most colossal steam plant ever
constructed Is developing into reality.
Nearly every boiler composing the solid bat
terry, 500 feet In length, is In place, and one
third Of these are in readiness for use. These
boilers extend along the south side of the
building below the general floor level. A
brick wall forms a twenty-foot firing space In
front of them, separating the boiler room
from the great space under the floors of the
main building Just inside this wall thirty
six inch steam header extends In five sections
down the length of the boiler plant Ten
inch pipes will carry steam from the boilers
upward across the firing space and down
through the floor into the header. From this
receptacle steam will be fed into the engines.
Foundations for the engines are in, with
the exception OF two small ones. These
foundations are built up 10 the floor level and
are OF brick and mortar or of concrete. The
largest OF these is that of the Westinghouse
engines, of 10000 horsepower each, which
run incandeseent light machines. This
foundation is solidly built of concrete and is
80 by 100 feet in dimensions.
The fuel plant is completed and all con-
nectons are made with the battery of boilers.
These oil tanks are twelve In number and
stand just south OF the forestry building.
They are feet In diameter and % feet deep.
Pipes are laid to the supply mains In South
Chicago and from the tanks to the boilers 1t
viii be pumped automatically.
test has been made of one of the great
electrical travelling cranes which moves the
full length of the machinery building. There
VIII be three of these great machines in
operation, but the first one has been fitted up
under the central arch of the building.
1t is mounted upon two elevated rails ~
feet in height and 200 feet in length. These
rails are cogged and are 10 feet apart. They
present cog surface, into which the driving
wheels Of the crane are fitted.
Suspended from the crane at one end is n
| platform six feet square, upon which are the
motors which drive 1t. These are operated
| by one man. hook is suspended by a
/ block-and-taellle rigging in the center of the
great machine, by which lifting power Of
| twenty tons is possible. The whole machine
| will travel along the rails at the rate of 800
feet minute In its passage the whole
building yibrates under its motion.
During the construction of the building
| these three cranes will be used in placing
| heavy machinery. After the completion,
| platforms, guarded by hand railings, will be
| built above them, and they will be used in
moving visitors about tho building. From
| this height good view of the entire ma
chinery plant may be had-Chiedgo Ny1cs-

Death of Dr. shaw.

DIR. Alexander Shaw, secretary of the State
Bureau of Horticulture, and superintendent
Of the horticultural department of the Colo
RADIO Worlds Fair board, died on the 3rd at
his residence in Denver. His end came after
an illness of several weeks, and was expected
He was taken sick on November 6, with facial
erysipelas. He grew better but was again
prostrated with kidney trouble, an old COM
plant which he had become subject to in his
war service He was seventy years of age
when he died. He served as surgeon dur
ing shc war.
Dr. Shaw loved horticulture loved 1t better
than his own chosen profession of medicine
He studied 1t all his life, and during his most
active years paid much attention to It, lie
superlntended the Iowa horticultural exhibit
at the centennial exhibition in Philadelphia,
and after coming to Colorado he gave more
freedom to the exercise of his tastes. His In
terest in horticulture was noticed In lSS2 by
his election to the presidency of the state
Horticultural Society. He held that position
TIL 1886, when he was chosen secretary oil the
organization. He occupied that position at
the time OF his death.
Colorado's exhibit at the New Orleans ex-
hibition was in charge of DR.. Shaw, and when
IL came to choosing a superintendent for the

II believe the policy pursued by Governor
Rouirs administration In regard to the state
school lands to be an excellent one. The
same policy, think, ought To be continued,
and no lands sold. Every year monopolists
are gaining more and more the control Of the
lands Of the country, and the state should not
assist In such course. The school lands be.
long to the people and should be leased
The state capitol building ought to be

men went out from Lamar and slew wagon
loads, Twenty-four marksmen were under
tn. respective commands OF Hon. c. d. Ford
and Colonel FIem II. Hoover
About sunset the wagons began to arrive.
aud when the final count was footed up there
was placed to the credit Of the Ford com
mand $50 points. while the Hooverltes
counted up only 5,615.
The game brought in listed l,i91 rabbits,
seven hawks, five prairie dogs and one coyote.
The honors of the day fell on Captain P. $.
Sarsk. an old English hunter, to whose gun
is placed the credit OF lu3 rabbits. Charlie
Maxwell was next in line, with sixty-four
deaths. The champion jack was credited to
Major James Stevenson.
The day ended In grand banquet - the
nImrods, given at the Commercial hotel,
which was paid for by the losing Hoover
boys The game. which weighs 5000 pounds,
was expressed to the Denver market.

Thousand Dollars.

ihpuNhhu boiihrHs
DR.. d. X Pearsons OF Chicago, who is we'll
known as the benefactor Of many western
colleges, has recently offered $50 coo to the
trustees of Colorado College, on condition
that $4,000 more be secured within two
years. The trustees are very sanGuine over
the possibility of meeting this requirement,
especially as by the terms Of DR.. Pearsons'
Offer all money received by the college, from
whatever source, between now and January
l, lso5, may be counted as part OF The requir-
ed amount
DR. PeaFsons drst became interested In the
college while on visit to Colorado Springs
last year. After quietly but thoroughly Ia
ye.ilgstinS the work OF the institution, lie
decided that i; was we'll worthy his financial
support, aud has chosen this practical way Of
showing his confidence in its administration.
II the required amount be secured, 1t is
probable that 10000 will be expended upon
a new science building, aud the remainder
added 10 the endowment fund.
