We give below another interesting letter
from Morris Il. Joseph, received this week;
REPUBLIC, WASH, June 2, 1898.
I Am writing from the Office Of Thomas
E. Hsley's son, who is fourishing in this
camp as an ssssyer, metallurgist, etc.
Arrived here to-day and will make this
my headquarters. so will feel obliged II you
will change the address Of my paper &C.

I have shaken hands here with Charley
Robbins, Johnny and Frank HALEY, Den.

What I wrote about Charley Robbins In
my last letter I am glad to learn Is true.
His fortune 10 made. His wife Is at pres.
emf visiting her parents ct Rossland, B. O.
Tom Haley Is In the butchering business
there. Mr.. Ford's mother formerly kept
the C%olonnade in Eureka. He Is Q prac-

Phoebe Record.
Frank Robbins Ia here, but I have not

Will write ct greater length after I have
q chance to look around. My first impress
sion Of this camp 10 . favorable one-s
town in embryo. with many tents, small
frame houses. log and other cabins, with
some frame buildings OF sufficient import
snce to give an air Of confidence In the
future Of the place. There are men enough
here at present for all the employment that
can be found, but would not be surprised
II the future would greatly improve the
demand. I believe all branches Of bust
pess are we'll represented, but Of that I
must see more before I can judge sstisfac-
torily. Until ! look around I had best not
say much, as q wrong impression quoted
might be injurious. I Am satisfied, how
ever, that there are good mines here. but
understand that not many have been sufi-
GENTLY developed to warrant an unqusli-
fed opinion. No doubt IL is an interest
ing camp, and I will write In detail later
on.

He Wilted.

Some years ago, many farmers along
the line Of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway brought suit against it.
and engaged a young lawyer named
Brown. Judge CAN'T, who was pre-
siding. was compelled to throw many
Of the cases out OF court because they
were improperly brought. Brown was
mad all over. Swelling with indigna-
ton. he arose and said:
"Your honor, will you please tell me
how 1t Is possible In this court to get
justice against railroad company"
Judge CAN'T quietly ignored the con.
tempt Of court shown by the lawyer
and asked:
"DO you wish an answer to that
question, MIR. Brown
"Yes, SIR" detiantly replied the indig.
nant lawyer; yes. sir. and want to
know how ii farmer can get his case
into this court so that it will he heard"
Judge CAN'T smiled and said
well. first. Mr.. Brown, I'd advise
the farmer to hire lawyer"

A HANDSOME BUILDING.
4 Structure of the D0ric Order, and
Impressive Dimensions.


The Manufactures building designed
by John J. Humphreys OF Denver, is
a handsome structure of the Dcric or
der, modified to comport with nine
teenth century requirements. The re-
suit is a building OF simple dignity,
having an air of repose considered
requisite in large building.
The facade presents a frontage of 400
feet, accumulated at center and end
with pavilions, sixty-fonr and forty feet
respectively, thereby obtaining suffi-
cient variety of mass. The solidity of
these pavilions and their strong per-
pendicular lines and shadows give a
strong contrast of light and shade.
The height of the building to the top
of the main cornice is forty feet; the
height of order thirty feet, resting ON
stylobate ten feet high. The height of
the center pavilion to the top Of the
browning group Of statuary is eighty
five feet to the top of the dome. The
large windows, ten feet wide by twenty
four feet high, placed at intervals Of
sixteen feet, and the roof having large
syklight area. make the interior very
b. light and cheerful.
The center entrance is twenty-four
feet high, and very rich decoration.
flanked On either side by coupled col
umns and their accompanying plaster,
standing six feet from the walls. The
main cornice breaks around projec-
tion Of columns supporting pedestals
Tor groups OF statuary twelve feet high.
The center Of the pavilion is crowned
by colossal group of statuary. There
are also single statues between columns
resting on stylobate projected out to
receive them. The spandrels above
the arch are decorated with bas-reliefs.
The end pavilions with their entrances
are crowned by shallow domes.
The entire interior elaboration will
be confined to classic ornaments. The
ceiling, large barrel vault. with in
tersecting CROSS vaults, is richly coffered
and deliberately decorated. On the
walls it is here proposed to have mural
paintings emblematic Of manufactures.
