BUILDING IS A BEAUTY
The School of Mines is a Magnifi-
cent Structure.
TT is ALMOST COMPLETED
1t VIII be a Credit to the City Work Is
Now Progressing on the Cornice.
The Building Will Soon be
Under Cover.
IT is ALMOST COMPLETED

IF the people of the city only knew
what a magnificent structure the schooi
of mines is getting to be and what an
ornament and credit it is TO the town,
more of them. l am sure would go our
there and look at it." Thus did Build
ing Inspector jerks deliver himself as
he scraped off the mud that had fast
ened itself 10 his shoes during a walk
over Missoula gulch and back.
Il tell you things are looking fine out
there" continued the colonel, growing
more enthusiastic as his mental retro
spection enabled him 10 more fully real
ize all he evidently had seen.
Before the present year will have
taken its place in the long category OF
has beens,' the building VIII be almost
completed. The brieklayers are placing
the last course on one Of the stacks,
and they will finish tomorrow evening.
Work is now in progress on the cornlee,
and / tell you 1t will be beauty. the
cornice proper is Of copper and the
brackets of the style known as cantele-
yer. are of galvanized iron. The COM
bination of metals is an excellent one,
and the designs employed could not
very well be improved upon, speaking
from an artistic and utiiitarlan stand
point. The roof, too, will be in keeping
with the rest of the building, and viii
set it off splenGidly. The material TO
be used is thing. semi~circular in form.
and the pieces will be laid to overlap
each other. This style Of roof is very
durable as well as ornamental, and is
in great vogue in the East. The fact
that the government uses this kind of
roofing on all of its new public build
ings can be accepted as toierably
strong recommendation OF its worth
The rafters are being put in place ana
at the present rate of progress the
building should be under cover by the
end of next week.
Just as soon as the roof is on the
windows will be closed with oiled mus
lin and then plastering can begin. 1t is
safe to say that the entire structure
will be completed and ready by Feb. ],
and the state can then say that 1t has
at least one building that is worth
every cent ii has cost, and that it has
been well and. honestly constructed.
Great credit is due Mr.. Mcleod, the
SUPERINTENDENT. for the splendid man
ner in which all work is being done, and
for the excellence of every bit of ma
terial that has entered into its compo-
sition. Every requirement of the plans
and specifications is being complied
with to the slightest details. and no
cause of complaint can be reasonably
made by the most exacting critic. The
school of mines building is a beauty,
and it is too bad more of our people
don't go out to look at it.

His Be,I-HaS Cold.
CANTON, O., Feb. l5.-Before break
fast time this morning there were fifty
callers, mostly after Office. at the Me-
Kinley home. For the first time since
the election the PreSident-elect failed to
arise for the morning meal, remaining in
his bed room until the family physician,
DR.. T. H. Phillips arrived at about 10
o'clock. With the slight diversions OF
runs to Cleveland and Chicago for few
days, Major Mckinley has allowed him
self to be held captive every day ex-
cepttnG Sundays from early morning un-
til late at night, sometimes after mid
night. Public men who have been here
have marvelled at hls endurance.
Congressman ChickeTing. OF the Oswe-
go IN. Y.,) district, who has witnessed
Saturdays crowds beslege the Mckinley
home said ne did not understand how
any human being could stand the strain
OF constant callers and do the work Ma
jor Mckinley has been doing, He has
simply refused to take the advice Of his
friends and set limited office hours. and
no matter whether engaged in cabinet
making or on his inaugural address, has
allowed himself to be interrupted At
short Intervals to relieve the crowds that
have filled the house. some days, even TO
the private family rooms. II is quite
evident that this cannot continue with
Justice to the President t-elect. The most
he Is troubled with now is n bad cold.
The worst that is apprehended Is the
possibility Of an attack OF grip, with
which he was confined TO his bed two
years ago for eight days, AZ the Hanna
home, Thomasvllle, Ga.
There were n number OF callers at the
Mckinley residence this afternoon, but
ali were informed that the President
elect could not be seen. Col. WV. Dud-
ley, of Washington, came down from
Cleveland at noon, but was compelled to
postpone his visit until a later day. Col:
Dudley Is a member of the inaugural
committee and said the preparations for
the event are progressing very satisfac-
torIly. He said his visit here had no
DolftIcnl Signiflcance.

TURKISH VIEWS

OfthS situation Attitude OfthS Ottoman
Empire.
Copyright, 1897. by the Associated Press)
coNsTANTINoPLE. Feb. l6.-The
opinion in ofic!al circles here is that the
feet OF the powers Will be instructed to
occupy the island OF Canea very shortly
and that pressure will be brought to bear
upon both Turkey and Greece in order
that open war may be avoided. Should
actual hostllltIes commence, Turkey
would have little dlHiculty In sending an
overwhelming force OF troops into Thes-
sally. But the Turks fear that the island
OF Crete, In any case, is practically lost
to the Ottoman empire.
There II already indications In the Ba-
Ian peninsula that war between Greece
and Turkey would be followed by seri-
Gus conflict there, and II Is believed that
the powers are not ready TO face such a
condition OF affairs. In the meanwhile
Turkey iS preparing for eventualltics
and the calling out OF she Greek army re-
serves Of the class Of 1898 and 1895 will be
met by the assembling OF the Turkish
troops near the frontier OF Greece. A
large Turkish force ut Salonika IS in
readiness TO move at any moment. II Is
not believed however that war will be
declared Mos; important communica-
tons are being exchanged between the
Ambassadors OF the powers and the porte
and II il understood that the sultan has
received assurances thnt Greece Will not
be allowed to disturb the peace OF Eu-
rope. although certain irregularities In
her recent actions win have 20 be over
looked II has also been represented 20
.he sultan that King George had 20
choose between a revolution IN Greece
and denomination In Cretan waters
upon the part OF the Greek fleet and that,
na turally he bowed to popular clamor
and sent the torpedo flotlila 10 Crete.
The Turkish officials under the circum-
stances are behaving admirably and are
seemingly willing to meet the views OF
the powers In every way. II "a true the
alternative may be the threatened dis
ruption OF the Turkish empire but in any
case. the Turks are not frettln6 under the
prohibition placed upon them OF sending
reInforcements to Crete and In so doing
the sultan is acting in a highly polite
manner. Indeed the Cretan trouble has,
at least for the moment. driven the more
important question OF the projected re-
forms for the Turkish empire into the
back ground so effectually that there are
people who intimate the willy Turk has
been at the bottom OF all the recent de-
velOpmentA In Crete and even Ut Athens
and that the revolutionary movement in
Crete has been secretly fOstered In order
to draw the attention OF Europe from
more important matters.
