Work on Armory Building.

Work on the Armory building is pro-
crossing very rapidly and Contractor
Conrad Schroeder. who is in charge of
the work of construction confidently
declares that he expects the big build
Ing will be completed by April. The
workmen are now busted, with work on
the fourth and last floor of the main
part Of the building, that is the front
section. The iron supply to be largely
used in the building of the drill room
is daily expected. This has been Or
dered from the Passaic Rolling Mill
company Of Paterson, N. j., and will
get here within the next few days.
Immediately upon its arrival work
will be continued upon this apartment,
which when completed promises to be
one of the largest and finest drill rooms
in the state. 1t will be 155 feet broad
by 240 feet long. and is to be So feet in
height. Work will be continued on the
building despite wind or snow, as the
structure has now reached that stage
where Contractor Schroeder can afford
to laugh at winter. The roof is soon
to be laid. and fortified by this and the
steam pipes which are to be installed,
the workmen will continue to labor
through the chilliest days on the in
terror Of the big edifice.

10 It's work satisfactorily 1t was the
fault Of the design.
The law provides that where man
ufacturer makes and sells II patented
article of staple standard variety,
there is an implied guarantee that 1t
will work. The machine company IS
trying to show that the Parsons shhk-
Ing screen is not standard, staple
article of the kind contemplated by
the law In question, and consequently.
there was no implied guarantee on
their part.
1t is further contcnded by the ma
chine company. that the coal company
did not give the screen fair test. IN
that it did not properly set the timbers
that were to receive 1t. In answer to
this, the coal company says that 1t
set the timbers according to blue
print furnished by the machine CONF
pany and that 1t followed the plans
exactly.
The case is being closely followed
by many of the lawyers. because or
the interesting questions 1t has de-
velODed.

yet, inasmuch as the work of compil-
ing them has not yet been commenced
Secretary Atherton was especially dis
appointed at this news because he de-
sired to incorporate the figures in his
annual report.
The industrial census returns will
show the amount Of capital invested
In local industries, the amount OF
wages paid, the number Of hands en-
ployed and the total value Of the yearly
product. A comparison of these figures
with those Of ten years ago, will give
an excellent idea of the industria al
growth of the city in the last ten years.

that the Car Is seriously avclsc to picking

OF Senator BEyERIDGE at the other end

Columbia and Shamrock.

Two opinions well worth notice were
expressed in the last number received Of
the London YachtsmuR. One was that OF
Mr.. WILLIAM FIFE, the father Of the de-
signer of the Shamrock, Mr.. FIFE saving
that Shamrock was beaten because she was
screwed up that *, her rigging was too
tight and her canvas too fiat. IL believe "
said Mr.. FIFE, that the Columbia is AS
good u yacht for her inches az has yet been
built, but ut the same time | believe sham
rock Is as good as Columbia under equal
management
Mr.. FIFE's study Of yachts has been very
long and full Of success, but it evidently
belongs TO the age OF wood, not Of steel
which now relgns. The steel mast Is not n
his experience, for II il were he would know
that to give to 1t the play allowed to the old
fashioned pine stick would result in dis
astcr. 1t was either rigid shrouds or q
bucklod mast, on Shamrock or Columbia.
for they were both essentially alike neces-
sarily. One has nothing to gain over the
other in this respect.

arc certain that Mr.. FIFE could win the cup"
Our contemporary knows more than Is

has Mr.. HERREsHoFF said that Column

beat her! We know of no authoritative
statement of that nature.
We advise British designers not to begin

they see 1t sigued by HERREsHoFF's own

accompanied by u guarantee that a boat

from his hands. II left to himself. HERE
