A Valuable Tree.

J. M. Phebus had an oak tree fell
ed on his land near the city few
days ago, which made six log cuts,
four large ones from the main body,
from which was cut $500 feet OF
lumber and two smaller ones from
the top, yielding nearly one thous-
and feet. From the same tree Ed
Adkins got three and half cords
of stoyewood and six cords of two
foot fire wood. The lumber alone
was sold for $50. The tree meas
ured nearly six feet in diameter
across the butt.

HACKFELD BUILDING
IS FORMALLY OPENED

complete, enough has been accomplish
ed to show just what will be the ap-
, pearance of the apartments when they
have been entirely prepared for their
uses.
1t was not until at night, when the
electric lamps were aglow. that the en-
tire beauty of the establishment could
be appreciated. Especially is this the
case with the rotunda at the main en-
trance to the offices of the firm. I'm
der the effulgence of scores of lamps
the frescoes appeared with new beauty
and the effects of color were even more
brilliant than when seen by daylight.
The lights have been so arranged that
the office portion of the structure is
bright as when the sun shines. and ev-
cry detail of fitting and decoration is
thrown up in it's most becoming effect.
With the subdued illumination effected
by the conceaiing of more than 100
lamps about the domed ceiling and the
central capital, the many shades of
marble mosaic blend with the marble
wainscoting and pillars and reflect the
detail of the frescoed ceilings, which
with classic pattern and conventional
lied leaf and flower, adorn entrance
and main apartments.
The visitors to the building were re-
ceived at the main entrance to the Of
fee lobby at the corner of Queen and
Fort streets. The lobby Of SO feet in
diameter. fioored in mosaic, wainscoted
with polished st. Beaume marble, with
a massive pillar at the center in the
same marble. and a ceiling domed and
frescoed in design. is clearly the cul-
mination of the decorative scheme OF
the structure. The Corinthian capitals,
the enriched coruices, the lighting fix
lures. the crilles and wickets all IN

building which in its variations is sus-
tained throughout the entire structure.
