Street Floor to Be Occupied by
Seven Stores on Andrew
Sproule's Corner.
PLANS FOR NOVEL FACTORY.
Frank y. johnson !Contemplates
Building Series of Apartments
for Small Manufacturers
on Laclede Avenue.

| Contracts have been let for the conStruc-
| ton of seven stores and first-class FAM
| lily hotel at the northeast corner of PINE
street and Grand avenue to cost about $50
oG0 The property is owned by Andre"
Sproule.
Other important building operations con-
templated in the vicinity of Grand avenue
are planned for a large lot on the north side
of LaclGde avenue about 500 feet west of
Grand where Frank y. Johnson. until re-
emily traffic manager OF the Simmons Hard
ware Company. will build five-story fac
| tory, the Investment to represent several
| hundred thousand dollars.
Special interest is attracted to Mr..
| Sproules plans for the Grand and Pine cor
ner for the reason that the new stores will
| be the first of any consequence to be erect
| ed on Pine street west of Jefferson avenue
| The plans also show that the demand for
| business houses on Grand for several blocks
| in the vicinity of Olive street is growing.
While comparatively small. covering a
| lot 0oxIS5 feet, the Sprou!e building will be
| a handsome structure. three stories high,
| finished with red brick and white terra-cot-
| ia trimmings. The fronts of the seven stores
| will be of plate glass. On the two upper
| floors about thirty-siX rooms will be ar
ranged with connecting baths. Modern con-
yeniences will be combined with elaborate
treatment.
| Charles X. Ramsey is the architect and
| he announces that construction will be
pushed at a rate to insure completion before
| the Worlds Fair opens.
UNIQUE FACTORY SCHEME.
Frank n. Johnsons factory building to be
erected on Laclede near Grand avenue, it is
stated, will be the first of its kind in st.
Louis. 1t is to be somewhat in the nature
of a factory apartment-hhouse. arrange in
| in suites.
The idea is to furnish accommodations TO
| many small manufacturers who may find in
this plant the necessary motive power,
electricity and q convenience in arrange.
| ment for which they would have to pay less.
perhaps, than for an isolated plant.
The combination or community of inter-
ests should bring about great reduction
in operating expenses, it is thought. and
is limited.
Mr.. johnson already owned lot. e0ox2l5
feet, on Laclede, SIS feet west of Grand
avenue, and yesterday he closed the pur-
chase of an adjoining lot. soxal5 fet. from
F. n. Crunden. who will make arrangements
to build home in some other part of the
city.
Mr.. Johnsons plans are not yet mature
and It is possible that his proposed build
ing will be designed for only one or two
manufacturers. The scheme to build a Sc
ries of factories under one roof. however.
has found much encouragement and prob
ably will be carried out.

A FLOATING SAWMILL,
lowed About Lake mp1aiu for
Convenience of Farmers.

lowed About Lake Champlain for
Convenience of Farmers.
Up on Lake Champlain they are op-
Grating a floating sawmill with a great
deal Of success. 1t is a two-storied,
arklike affair, built upon a heavy float.
The boiler and saving machinery occu-
py the entire main deck. The upper
story is divided into living rooms for
the crew. As soon as the mill has fin
ished with one batch of logs a small
tug lows it to the next cove. The mill
can be hired by the week or by the
job, and In some cases logs have been
cut on shares. The result has been that
farmers along the lake have been able
to cut their trees and market the lum-
Der with profit.
There was a time when Lake Cham
plain was one of the greatest lumber
marts in the world. Burlington, VT,
was the center Of a vast business, and
lis water front was network Of mills.
A shortage Of timber on the shores of
the lake and in the immediate back
country has dwarfed the industry. I'm
proved transportation facilities have
made it possible to send mills into the
woods and ship out the lumber direct
ly. The lake is no longer a necessary
adjunct to the trade. Now, by means
of the floating saWmill, the stray ends
will be picked up and the last sign of
marketable timber will disappear.
The floating sawmill has it's winter
quarters behind the Burlington break
water, where 1t attracts much atten-
ton. A high stack rises out of the
house at the stern, giving the craft the
appearance of an antiquated steamer.
In the same end are wide doors,
through which the logs are hauled to
the saving block. The lumber Is passed
out through one portfolio in the side of
the barge and the slabs through an
other. The sawdust and scraps are
carried to the f1reroom and furnish the
| fuel. Now that the success of the
scheme has been proved. says the New
| York Tribune, the floating mill will
have to work overtime.

THE CABLE in HAWAII.
What the IsIanders Expect from TseIe.
graphic Communication.

what the Islanders Expect from Tele.
graphic Communication.
The cable will bring many changes.
Inc debtor who takes French leave,
the embezzler who seeks pastures new,
the sWindler who comes to work the
town as Dunbar did with his directory
nine years ago, will have to scratch
Honolulu off his list. He cannot feel
safe even if he starts for Manila or
Japan, for a touch at the button in the
Young building will bring a response
from any quarter Of the world which is
reached by the various branches of the
submarine telegraph.
Less time will be used in negotiat-
ing. The little trader who wants an
extension from the jobber cannot de-
pend on fourteen days or more of grace
due to slow mails. The cablegram will
promptly settle his case. Ships won't
stay here SO long as formerly waiting
advices from owners. as the dismasted
Andromeda has done through many
weary weeks. There Is hardly ship
ping house In the world that will not
be able to reach this port with it's mes.
sages in an hours time. b. 49,. a. -. -
One Of the prime advantages of the
cable will be seen In the promptness
with which trade orders may DO filed.
Often In the past Honolulu has been
brought to the brink of mercantile fam
ines; kerosene, or -four, or some other
necessary has run short. Such things
need not happen any more. When a
scarcity is In sight the cable can be
connected at once with the centers OF
supply. ."'s ~ .'it ~. s''s*s.
Nor can things be done surreptitious-
ly at Washington. In the past when a
man has wanted something official
which he knew he could not get with
the appreciation Of the local public, he
has hurried away secretly on some out
going steamer and got long start at
the National Capital. When the cable
| comes, his arrival there at noon will
! be known here five hours earlier and
messages can be sent to head him off.
Undoubtedly the cable will make
Honolulu favorite port Of call with
naval ships of all nations, particularly
our own. They will come here for or.
! ders and stay here within the reach OF
orders. This will make up for the
shorter stay Of waiting merchant yes.
sells.
These are but a few Of the coming
changes. There are enough more tc
make long story.-Pacitic Commercial.

Poe's Smile of Genius.

His mouth was like Apollo's bow
unbent, and. in the natural curve, said
sorrow, with Imagination, but, when
wreathed into smiles by any cheering
lnflorescene Of his soul-disclosing a
set of ivory teeth as evenly set as the
opal walls of Eden-was absolutely
captivating and beautiful. So remark
ably pleasing was this transition from
sadness to sunshiny gladness of hilar-
ity that l now seem to see him sm1l-
ing before me-nghting up the dim
vistas Of my memory as the rain
fraught lightning does the darkness Of
a summer night. But there was this
popularity about his smile, which I
do not remember ever to have seen
in any other person, namely, that it
did not appear to be the result Of glad
ness of heart altogether-nOr gladness
mixed with sorrow--but pleasing sa-
tire-a smiling review of all that had
lust been said by him-like the trium-
phant world-renovating laughter Of the
weeping heavens-expressive Of that
beautiful Appolonian disdain which
seemed to say: What you see
through a glass darkly' behold
through the couched eye of an illu-
minated seer" Not only did he look
this, but he felt it-felt it with all his
inmost soul. 1t was, in the truest ac-
ceptance of the term, smile of ge.
nius.-From the contemporary descrip.
ton of Poe in the Century.
