Covering of Festival Hall to Ex-
ceep Cap Of st. Peters at
Rome.
STEEL TRUssEs 165 FEET LONG
Director of Works Taylor Fears
That Wooden Posts Must Be
Used as the Interior
Supports.

The visit yesterday to the Admtnistra.
| ton building Of ]. J. Rachac OF the ofilce
Of Cas- Gilbert, New York. developed the
information that the dome Of Festival Hal
will be the largest In the world, excelline
in size those of st. Peters Church and the
Pantheon at Rome.
As Architect Gilbert has designed the
great building. steel trusses of 165 feet will
span the auditorium in one leap. Director
of Works Taylor, who has waited for
months on Mr.. Gilbert for these plans, Is
now IN doubt about his ability to secure
steel trusses in time for the completion OF
the structure by April. 1904.
According to the Press and Publicity De-
partment of the Exposition. 1t will be prac-
tically impossible to obtain the steel for
such trusses in SO short a time. and. thero-
fore, It is predicted that wood must be
used instead, and that posts must be used
in the interior to shorten the length of the
span.
1t was originally the desire Of the Di-
rector Of Works to have at least one clear
expanse OF interior space in principal
building at the Fair. Festival Hall is the
architectural keynote Of the whole pic
ture. Its dome was designed to cover a
great auditorium in which the highest types
Of the worlds music would be produced.
The seating capacity of Festival Hall is
estimated by Mr.. Rachac, without definite
knowledge Of the interior arrangements, at
about 5000.
"The use of posts would not impair the
beauty of the building interior" says Mr..
Rachac. They could be disposed in an
ornamental way SO as not to obstruct the
view, and could be, to some extent, con-
ceaied by an ingenious disposition of the
balconies of which this building is to have
a considerable area.
THE cutting down Of the span of the
roof trusses by the use OF posts would have
the effect Of lessening the sweep Of the
dome as seen from the interior, but It
would not In the least impair the exterior
appearance Of the dome.
'The lighting of the building is. to a
great extent. dependent on the interior ar
rangements. We had intended at first to
place window openings rather low on the
but as the balconies which form a COLON
made around the building are to be: used.
We shall raise the window openings to AL
the surface which before We had intended
should be blank"
Mr. Rachac brought with him the rest
OF the scale drawings needed before tho
preparation OF the construction drawings
could be begun The construction drawings
will be made by the craftsmen in the office
OF the Director of Works. The drawings
sent to st; Louis by Mr.. Gilbert include

The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1903-09-19

The young man of the Miner, in an
editorial conversation with his little
boy last week, admitted all Of the
charges made by the Leader, inclua-
ing the Withholding of the type sent
by the Tribune by mistake to the
Miner, but intended for the Leader
The young man also admits that he
knew it was for the Leader, but delib-
erately kept it and finally sent it back
to Bismarck. With regard to the
young mans inquiry as to what the
governor put up for that editorial men
ton of the Miner" we are in position
to state that the young man of the

which appeared soon after the "edi-

Did any Of the chronic kickers
eve stop and figure just how much
money was paid out for butter and
meat by the farmers Of Mclean
county? We dare say they never
did. but yet they will sit around
and say they never saw such hard
times when the money that is paid
out for these two products, is more
than is made by the farmers of the
far eastern states. Ask the mer-
chants how much pork is sold here
during the year; how much butter
is disposed to the farmers, and we
dare say the figures will be large.
Now all Of these things count on a
farm and that is why many farmers
do not make a success. They raise
so cent wheat and buy 30cent but
ter and meat at IL to Is and when
both ends don't meet they blame
the country. Under these condi-
tions we ask who is to blame. the
country or the man.

L O LOW.

The value of real estate returned
to the State Board of Equalization
for 1903 is SS7, 33O,659, an amount
ridiculously low for the rich COM
monwealth Of North Dakota and
probably not more than one-fourth
the real value. It renders compar-
ison of North Dakota real estate
values with those Of other states
unfair and unfavorable to North
Dakota. The value of last years
crop was more than the assessed
valuation of the land of the state.

SOME PERTINENT COMMENTS.

The following are some pertinent
comments from last weeks Steele
Ozone:
The Pie-eat Indians in the insur-
ance commissioners Office are also
worthy of mention.
1t is said Editor Jewell is soo to
take the federal land Office register
ship, Col. McGillivray's term expiring.
Good for Jewell, he deserves the
place.
That editorial in the st. Paul Globe
anent the evils of special sessions of
the legislature or of congress is a
most pertinent one. We notice the
Tribune reprints it as a Leader, which
would indicate that Editor Jewell
holds similar or kindred views regard
ing some things.
Did you notice the call of the high
license association for a meeting on
Oct. 9th, for the purpose of fixing
thing for a rendezvous of the resubmis-
sion idea at the proposed special ses-
sion? Well, it is out, and that is an
other pointer that the institution
bonds or provision for money for the
institutions will be a more than Sec
ondary matter with the session, if
there be one.
It is surmised in some quarters that
those opposed to Governor White
would not be ill pleased to have an
extra session called. Perhaps this
fact, if it be one, would not deter the
governor from a course he deemed
right, but it points to the possibilities
of a political cauldron during a session
that ought to be strictly business
but will not be.
The Hillsboro Banner notes a large
amount Of favorable comment on the
candidacy Of E. Y. Sarles for COVER
nor.-Fargo Forum.
Evidently the Miner did not know
that Sarles was an honorary member
of the State Press association, and
the recipient of such flattering notices
as this from all parts Of the state.

One man got disguised with this
part of the state last week and
packed up his goods and started
back for Iowa, the land where they
had to build bonires around the
corn fields to keep the corn from
freezing. This is not the only
section in the world where they
have storms and some people find
fault. There is only one thing to
do and that is to make the best of
it, and as we are lots better off
right here on the Missouri slope
than most of the country, there is
no use in becoming discouraged
at the first setback we have. It
has been proven that those who
have staid by the country have
come out on top, and this has been
proven SO in every country. Every
time a move is made there is more
or less sacrifice, goods almost given
away which it has taken years to
accumulate; new associations form.

hard work and good management
but wonderful things can be &C.

Quoting farming operations in

The trouble with the young man of
the Miner is that he is kept SO busy
reading the legals in the Leader that
he has no time to read the state pa
pers and find out what they are saying.
If he will continue to get his locals
ard inspiration from the Leader, how
ever, there are hopes that he will do
better after while.
