MOUNTS TACOMA AND RAINIER.
Warning to the President When He
Visits There.
New York Commercial.

When President Roosevelt reaches Ta-
coma Wash, on his Western tour-which,
according to present schedule he Will do
before he enters Seattle-he Will see. II
the day be clear, magnificent mountain
shouldering out large triangular section
of the southern sky. Its white crest points
In solemn grandeur to heaven, Its swelling
sides are like compressed masses OF cumuli
that hover over the forests of fir and pine
In summer time: its lower slopes are bill
lows of emerald where the trees perpet-
ually maintain their green That is Mount
Tacoma!
When the President arrives in Seattle
after enjoying the traditional hospitality
of the Tacomians, IL the day be clear. he
will see off toward the south, but farther
away by some score of miles than 1t ap-
peared from Tacoma, a tremendous peak of
white projected into the upper strata Of
azure. That is Mount Rainier!
1t looks very, very much like Mount Ia
coma, but we hope that the President will
not forget that 1t is Mount Rainier, and
will not. In his enthusiasm-for it is a
praise-compelling and enduring spectacle
attempt to associate the two mountains or
draw invidious comparisons. Above alias
the President hopes for an undivided dele
Vention-we hope he will not for an instant
fail to keep in mind the names of the two
mountains he has seen and where he has
heard them.
There is story. for which we will not
vouch, that the Washington cities once
entertained a distinguished guest. He
spent the evening IN Tacoma In delight
full ethical analysis OF seals. labels and
jackpots. Then he went to Seattle, where
he resumed normal business relations with
the world about noon. His first error was
to discover mountain that he thought
lessly referred to as Mount Tacoma"
That was the last thing he ever discovered.
party of friends came from Tacoma Sc
cretly at dead of night and dragged Elliot
bay, but the remains were never found.
We do not wish to needlessly alarm the
President. He will find scenery so awe
inspiring that it will cause him to hold his
breath in wonder; he will find people de-
lightfully hospitable, cultured and enter
tanning. but the less he says about any
mountains he sees around Puget sound
the better for our internal and coastwise
peace and welfare.

HIGHER COST OF BUILDING.
The Advance I'm Chicago-ResuItant
Decrease I'm New Structures.

chicago Letter IN New York Post.
An increase equal to 81, 500 900 a year has
been granted members of the building
trade in Chicago and the vicinity for the
year commencing yesterday. 1t is the
largest increase in wages in this line that
has ever been given and covers a greater
number of unions. Three years ago. when
the lockout in the building trades was end
ed, many of the unions made contracts,
some at the previous rate, but others
cured small advance, and a few entered
into agreements providing for an increase
in the last year of its existence. On this
occasion, however, the increase has gone
into effect all at once, all the old agree
increase i'm wages affects $4,000 men in the
building industry.
Large appreciations have been made also
in the material trade, both in wages and
in the cost Of material. Some figure that
the increase In labor is only equal to 5 per
cent. on the cost of building. Taking 1T
in all the increased cost of construction and
finishing buildings Is so per cent. higher
than in the low years. and % to 80 per cent.
more than two years ago. The effect of
the advance upon building here for the past
twelve weeks this year is shown by the
number of permits issued, which are for
81 679, ,0o0 $11 ,621 900 less than for the same
time last year. and $4,000 below the same
time In 1901.

churches and on education, and upon the
support of the 5000 people who populate
the Vatican. he maintains within the pal

ment-and though 1t Is true the Vatican
receives subscriptions of money from all
parts of the world. of which il does not
distribute the half. and that its treasures
are continually increasing. still IL must be
remembered that after ten centuries Leo
XIII is the first Pope who ascended the
throne without temporal power. The bud
