HANDSOME
INTERIOR FINISH OF THE NEW
DEPOT WILL BE A HANDSOME
BIT OF WORK. ;

INTERIOR FINISH OF THE NEW
DEPOT WILL BE A HANDSOME
BIT OF WORK. -
Half a dozen Italian marble workers
have begun work on the interior finish
OF the new Northern Pacific depot.
Some of their work il nearly COM
pleted and gives an idea of the appear
ance of the interior walls when the
work is done. The finish is in con-
crete and marble, and resembles a
close mosaic of white and colored
pieces OF marble, with a smooth finish
like a marble slab. Italians are the
best marble workers in the country
and are generally engaged at work of
this kind. The pay is good and
skilled marble workers always in de-
mand. The walls are first treated to
a coat Of cement, the principal ele-
ment of which is small chips of white
marble. This is spread upon the walls
like ordinary plaster, and while the
cement is wet. it is studded with bits
OF various colors of marble. When it
hardens, it is smoothed with sand
stones, suspended from pulleys and
ground with water back and forth over
the concrete until it takes a smooth
polish.
The concrete work on the exterior Of
tbs building is about completed ex-
cept for about a hundred yards that is
to be laid in the towers, which are yet
to be raised. The seams in the ex-
terror wall II now being filed in. with
concrete so that the exterior face will
take on a smooth and unbroken sur
face like a single block of stone. This
work is being successfully done, and
Architect Reed, who was in the city
yesterday and looked over the work
was highly satisfied with this feature.
With Mr.. Reed was W. M. Decks, con-
tractor for the new depot being built
a. Missoula, who was much interested
In. the work being done here.

ANDERSON HEALY IS DEAD
Well Known Resident Of the City o.
Bismarck Expires Early This
Morning. ~ ST.,
Death Of Anderson Healy of Uraemiax,
Comes Unexpected in and with
Little Warning. ~.a

Anderson Healy, a we'll known resi-
dent of the city for many years. died
suddenly at his residence on upper
Sixth street this morning, of uraemia.
News of his death was a shock TO
friends, who had had no inti1nation
that he had been in other than. his
usual health. He has been a, sufferer
from kidney trouble for the past year,
and for several weeks it has been
growing slightly worse. This morn
ing at about e O'Clock he complained
Of a headache and difficulty in breath
ing and asked that applications of cold
water be placed on his head. Shortly
afterward he grew worse, became I'M
conscious, and remained in that on
dition until 1920, when he passed
away. Medical assistance was sum-
noned when he was taken i'll, and Drs.
Ramstad and Matchan responded but
nothing could be done to stay the sud-
den and fatal termination of his all
ment. Members of the family were
summoned, including his W immedi-
ate family and that Of his son, I. W.
Healy, and they were at the bedside
when he passed away. The funeral
will probably be held from the resi-
dence Saturday afternoon, although
this cannot be stated definitely until
word is received from his brothers at
Minneapolis and Sioux City, who were
notified this morning of his death.
Mr.. Healy has been a resident of the
city OF Bismarck for the past eighteen
years. He was born in Nova Scotia
Sept. %, 1872. He came to the city
in 1883, with his brother, T. P. Healy,
and they operated as contractors and
builders. y, Later he engaged in the
mercantile business, in which he was
engaged at the time of his death. He
served rs county commissioner for
three terms, and served also for several
terms as alderman. He was a mar
of great activity and energy, who gave
close attention to his business and had
much pride in his family and his
home. "A large circle of friends
learned Of his death with regret and
extend sincere sympathy to the mem.
beers Of his family, thus suddenly be-
reaved.
Mr.. Healy left a wife, and five chill.

LARGER FREIGHT CARS.
German Railroads Solve an ImP"r-
tant Freight Traffic Problem

Richard Cuenther. the United States
Consul General ut Frankfort. Germany,
writes 10 the State Department, that an
important problem IN freight traffic has
been solved by the railroad companies in
that country. Says Mr. Guenther:
The latest number Of the Central
News Of the Construction Bureau points
10 what it calls d great progressive step
in railroad traffic, namely, the expert
mental Introduction Of three-tTuck freight
cars of twenty-five tons each. in place
Of the Uwo-trUck cars of fifteen tons each
as maximum capacity in common use
The experiment Was asked for by the
RheuIsh mine operators.
A former experiment with fOur-truck
cars proved unsatisfactory. as the cars
were TOO heavy in iron and in their gross
weight. and many Of the wheels could not
be used everywhere, especially on the
mine roads and factory switch roads. The
three-truCk ears, however. which Will not
be-. much heavier than The present cars,
have not these disadvantages. They Will
To Il large extent, ObViate the eyer-recur-
ring car famine and viii be much more
economical in handling. Furthermore Il
has been demonstrated. both in theory
and practice. that the wear and tear of
the track is less with these larger cars.
