a MODERN OFFICE BUILDING
1t Is Capable of Furnishing Rooms for
1000 People

It Is Capable of Furnishing Rooms for
1000 People.
There has just been completed on
Park Row, New york, marvellous
modern building, one that would have
been wonder half century ago. but
in this age of high structures, pre-
vokes but little com ment, although it
is the highest building in the world.
Its dome reaches 800 feet from the
level of the street, and the top OF the
aagpole thereon is SOL feet above the
bottom of the foundation. 1t has q
frontage of 103 feet II inches on Park
Row, % feet on Ann street and Al feet
l01 inches on Tbeater alley. The
building has $50 offices, which estimat-
ing four persons to the office, make it
capable of accommodating 1900. The
building is constructed on the most
modern plan, and the offices are Hight
ed with zoos windows, In it's con
struction 10000 tons of brick, stone,
iron and glass were used, and its total
cost, exclusive of ground, was 81. .400,-
600. 1t is 30 we'll provided with
elevators that the dweller on the 10Th
floor reaches the street in half
minute, and is more accessible to the
world than one living on the third
floor of building not supp lied with
elevators.

LOCKED IN A BOX CAR.
Three Little Boys Have a Forced Ride
From Portland.


From Portland.
When the regular freight arrived
here from the west al an early hour
Tuesd, ~. the yard man discovered
there was some live freight in one of
the cars. He heard cries of "help"
coming from box car, and going to it
he found three little boys, the oldest
not more than 10 years of age, were
locked in the car.
He released them and turned them
over to Marshal Lauer. They gave
their names as Guy Cooney, Fred
Matson and Martin Toomey, and say
their parents reside in Albina. The
story of how they happened to be in
the car, If true, is rather exciting, and
their ride from Portland here was a
novel and disagreeable one. They
were sweeping wheat out of the cars
at the yards in Albina when some one
came along, locked the car door and
disappeared. Pretty soon their car
was attached to train and started on
a journey, they knew not where.
They made all the noise they could,
but did not attract the attention of
any one until the train stopped at the
yard here.
The little fellows suffered consider
ably from cold and were terribly
frightened as they did not know where
they were going or what would be-
come OF them.
Marshall Lauer took the lads in
charge, and gave them quarters at the
city Jail, then telegraphed to the chief
OF police in Portland to hunt up their
parents and learn what they wished
done with the boys. At the time of
going to press no answer had been re-
ceived.

PIN HOLES IN THE CHECKS.
Only One Of the Cashiers Precautions
Overlooked by the Forger.

Only One Of the Cashiers Precautions
Overlooked by the Forger.
In the course of a lecture devlivered
recently on chemical tests used in dis
covering by the ink the age of docu-
ments, and whether there have been in
terpolations, Prof. C. A. Doremus told
of curious discovery in the case of a
raised check, made by his father, who
is an expert in chemistry and in docu-
ments. The interests involved in this
case, says the New York Sun, were
very large, and it was not practicable
that the original check should be tam
pered with or chemically treated. For
purposes of testimony an enlarged pho
tograph of the check was taken by DR..
Doremus, who was called as an expert
in the case. The first trial resulted in
no decision, and on the second trial,
what purported to be the original check
was produced. It was handed to the
cashier of the bank for Identification.
He examined it and said:
'This is not the original check"
''How do you know that?" demanded
the amazed lawyer.
Because in the heading of the orig
inal check pricked hole in the center
of each of the 'o's' with pin," was the
reply. "This check has not those
holes"
In all other respects the check
seemed to be identical. The court
called for DIR. Doremus' photograph to
be produced. 1t plainly showed the pin
holes. Upon this the lawyer for thede-
fense threw up his case, and the guilty
substitutor of the false check fed the
country.

within its walls can be had from some
of the estimates made 10 the Scientific
American. 1t says when the offices
are all occupied there will be 1000
occupants, and it is reasonable to
suppose that on a average there will
be at least one caller on every person
employed in the building at any given
hour during the day. This would
make a total of 5000 persons in
the building at any given period
during the day. And if we assume
that five persons call on each occupant t
daily, we get total of nearly $4,000
using the building each working day
of the year..
S ,ch building would accommodate
all the resi- tents of The Dalles for
Offices and store rooms, and would
leave euougn space in which half the
population could reside. All the men,
women and children of Wasco county
could eaisly get into the building ana
leave standing room for twice as many

growing regions of Montana, South
Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska,
where he went about two months ago
to look for a location. After examin.
ing all the range countries in those
states, he came back to Oregon con-
vinced that this is the best stock
country of them all. Mr.. Kitching
says that during his experience OF
some twenty years in handling stock
in Eastern Oregon, he has never en-
dured the disadvantages which the
sheep and cattle raisers of the states
above named have experienced the
past six weeks. They were compelled
to begin feeding the middle of Novem-
ber, and expect to feed until the latter
part of February. During nearly all
of December the mercury registered
below zero, and for time was 20 de-
grees below. He has come back to
Oregon satisfied with the country and
climate and says he will never go be-
yond its eastern boundary in search of
a location.

those quick little raps that overpower
a man in the short hours of the morn
ing.
A few moments later he was standing
in small inclosure surrounded by log
walls. A brown horse stamped beside
him and a woman-bearing marvellous
resemblance in face and voice to his
wife-was trying to tel him something.
He shook his head, disene2ged his arm
from her restraining hand ard tight
ened the saddle ::irth upon the brown
horse. On the i:crse's back be sprung,

failed to notice before, but who evident

The air was cool, bracing, delicious
the skies bright blue. To right and left

crowned with underbrush and strag-
Cling trees, while deeper woods extend

Somehow the ride must have been
short. There was whirl of dust and
coach whizzed by-not stage coach

broad tires and cushioned seats so much
in vague for tally +ho parties. He found
himself, horse and all, by the side of the
log wall again. and the coach passed in

puffs, and the leaves flew in spots on
either side of him. He called his men
called in voice which seemed to give
no sound-and there was no noise ac-
companying the white puffings up there
among the underbrush. His men began
to skulk behind trees and walls and
opened fire upon the places whence
the white clouds kept rolling.
A man in black ran out upon the hill
side, emerging from clump of brush.
There was general firing and the man
staggered. AS he fell Burton noticed
that he had changed his costume in the
moment of the fall and was now ar
rayed in a blue-gray uniform. He
picked himself up and reeled among the
trees. There was more firing and Bur-

Fully believing himself hours behind
