CIew York telegram to the Chicago III
(bune)
When Mr.. George c. Boldt the manager
Of the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria, talks about
hotels he is a most interesting man to lis
ten to. He said yesterday that in another
wear this hotel will have outgrown Its
enormous capacity, and that he has al
ready in his mind new hotel which shall
be to the Waldorf-Astoria what the wal
dorf-Astoria now is to an ordinary coun-
try tavern.
1.-THE present Waldorf-Astora cost H5,
600 900" he said 1.-The new structure will
cost at least 600. The present hotel
is isolated from other buildings and covers
a third of block The new hotel will oc-
cupy a whole block at least as large in
area as Madison Square Garden. 1t will
extend from Fifth avenue to one Of the
other avenues east or west and accomo-
date five times as many people as the ola
one. That is to say. 10000 persons.
II will plan the first three stories fer
show and the pleasures Of the people.
Above that i will devote great thought
upon how TO afford perfect eXclusiveness
for my patrons. Exclusiveness and luxury
are both Indispensable.
II will have the new house twice as
high as the present hotel-eighteen sto-
ments high up in the air. The rapid and
wonderful growth of elevators and the
service afforded by them lend impetus to
this growing desire. There are other logi-
cal reasons for this
aside from the almost inccnceivable
magnitude Of the undertaking as a whole,
its chief distinguishing feature will be
that / Shall need more room and II will
have to be in different form.
81 shall have the first three stories con-
structed so that morning. noon. and night
they will make a scene OF splendor that
will outshine any combination ever
dreamed Of by the imagination. Every
thing that can by any possibility be made
OF glass will be utilized
Sidewalks. ceilings floors, pillars-all
will be Of glass. The effect will be beau
tiful and pleasing TO the eye and senses.
1 would so plan the decorations that they
too, woulc appear to have nothing solid
20 them. Thus, the floors would be so CON-
structed and decorated that they would
make perfect fairyland of scintillating
brilliancy. yet with an appearance OF solid
ity to OFFSET any idea OF fragility."

at the unwilling of the statue of Cham
plain at Quebec The Biscayan sailor,
whose active career began more than
three centuries ago, laid other countries
besides his own under obligation through
his explorations, although no place is so
appropriate for his statue as the famous
old Canadian city which he founded, long
governed, and largely developed.
II is rather odd cnat Samuel de Cham
plain, though he came honestly by his
seamanship. his father being captain of
a ship. began his career in the army. But
he soon took to the sea, and his voyages
were mostly connected with North Ameri-
ca. His great explorations were on the
St. Lawrence and its tributaries. and II
was during one of these voyages that he
founded quebec, 290 years ago. During
the following year he entered the great
lake TO which he gave his name, and at
that time, with his Indian allies, he began
the war against the Iroquois. which was
continued internationally so many years.
In. OF his fights he killed or MORALLY
wounded three lroquois with his own ar
quebus; in another, he himself was Sc
verely wounded His career OF adventure.
and II included several years of imprison-
ment in England. since In 1923 a British
fleet under Kirk. compelled him TO sur
render Quebec OF which he was at that
time Governor. After the treaty OF 1852
he was reinstated In his office.
Champlain also founded Three Rivers,
built fort on Richelieu Island. and in
many ways strengthened the French col

twoscore years. and In that city, which
justly regards him as among its greatest
men. he died.

have been made in numerous localities,
but new pools such as Elk Fork OF last
year, have not been in evidence, not
witl1standing there has been an uutiring
effort TO accomplish that purpose.
In the face Of countless failures, IT
will mot do to take the position that no
more rich pools will be discovered in the
lower southwest. Each month for a
year past has reduced the chances, for
many test wells have been drilled dur
ing that period. The fact still remains
that many thousands OF acres In large
blocks have not been tested. With no
other inviting territory in sight opera
tors are bending their energies and ex-
pending much capital in that direction,
Ii is understood that some Of the larger
companies will make another and more
determined effort to open up something
new in the extreme lower southwest
counties. Calhoun, Gilmer and Roane
counties first claim attention; IN the
first and last named counties there was
some little work doing nearly all the
year, but nothing in the way of new ter
rltory has vet been discovered. II is
claimed by those who have operated in
the counties named that the rock for
nations are badly demOraliZed and is
some localities total absence OF all OF
the oil bearing sands. II there is one
thing more than another that dlsgusts
the experienced operator, 1t is TO find the
rock formation broken and irregular:
nothing Will cause him TO throw up a
block OF territory and make the land
owner n tender OF his leases SO willingly
MS q failure TO find the sands In regular
order.
The Berea territory In Wood county
has been the source of good deal Of
new production, and has been quite ac-
tive during the summer months. This
territory has been fully defined and has
less work doing now than at any time
during the past six months. The Hen
dershOt and Nlurphytown districts have
very little new work starting
The long list Of dry holes In Richie
county has caused u cessation OF opera
tons In the salt sand districts. To the
southwest Of the Whisky run pool a NJ
tie new work is starting, hut that pool
no longer attracts attention.
The Jackson Ridge territory In Mon
roe county, Ohio. is certain To show in-'
creased operations in the near futurG;,
Its defined area Is such as to mako room
FOR large number OF wells. The in
crease In production from that quarter
win be slow. owing to the samll size OF
the wells. The local field holds out few

THREe OHlNEsR, ONE ITALIAN
And Several Other Americans by AdOp
zion Figure In Scrap.

And Several Other Americans BY AdOP'
tTon Figure Ia II scrap.
Three Chinese. an Itanan or two, sew
erai Hebrews OF foreign birth and other
Americans by adoption figured in a
scrap at 1895 Market street yesterday
morning that did not end seriously, but
might have but for interference.
There Is u partition in the storeroom;
one side is occupied by Yee Wah, Jim
Yee and Charley Yoo, who run Chi
nese laundry; on the other Is located
Sam Gold, an Italian fruiter. Gold
found some laundry left at his place by
mistake yesterday morning. and as a
personal favor he took It into the Chi
nese establishment next door The &C.
lestials, however, failed to understand
that the son OF italy was doing them an
act OF kindness. AS they looked at II,
IL was a case OF European Intervention,
which no true son Of Confucius would
stand idly by ana allow.
At any rate, China and Italy cast
aside the arts OF diplomacy and went
al II hammer and tOngs-hammer and
toncs in this story mean fists. finger
nails and dirk. Italy was soon worst
cd. It was another Abyslnnia enter
prise. China had more men and heavier
arnameat.-the dirk, You know. on the
Chinese side, zee Wah and Jim Yee
were engaged. and The Italian claims
Charley Yoo was In Il, too, but other
testimony was to the effect that Charley
had Just wound up seance with pipe
OF opium when the scrap began, so II
must have been physical lmpossiblllty
for him to be In 1t.
Finally, nelghbors and later police
officers, Michaels and Lieutenant In
grain. interfered, and the engagement
came to n close, without the Chinese
fleet getting a chance to use the dirk.
The whole outfit was taken 10 Squire
Rogers office. and in the afternoon a
hearing was had. in which able legal
counsel sputtcred and bickered for
three hours, after which each OF the
Chinese was fined s. and costs. which
was paid.
