Several Thousands Result of
Most Terrific Wind Storm.

tue teTIrlHc Wlnu storm OF last night
caused great havoc at the plant of the
Grand junction Smelling Co., in the
southeastern part of the city.
Two large buildings were complete
ly wrecked and there is nothing re-
naming of them, save twisted lion
girders. broken and bent sheets of
corrugated iron, with which the build
ings were covered. and great cement
columns iIroken right in twain.
The buildings demolished by the
storm were what are known as the
Reverberatory furnace building and
Calciner. These two buildings are at
the extreme east of the plant and pres
ented splendid mark for the on
slaught and fury of the wind, that
seemed to sweep down from Orchard
Mesa across the river. striking the
buildings broadside. These buildings
were about 80 by 100 feet and were
supposed to be constructed of material
strong enough to withstand almost any
Grand valley. heavy storms of ths
character of last nights are almost
unknown. Perhaps the principal
cause for the demolition of the build
ings lies in the fact that the lower
parts of both bu ldings were opep. it
being deemed unwise to have them
enclosed ON account of the terrific heat
arising from the furnaces when in
operation. On eithel side of the build
ings there is mass of debris scattered
in every direction for hundred yards
or more. the wind carrying huge
pieces considerable distances from the
buildings. .
The buildings were supported, each
of them, on "a columns of concrete 2

the massive concrete columns were

Above these pillars the very heaviest
timbers of Oregon pine by inches in
size were used in the construction.
These were broken and spliutered into

to crush them as they we're last night.
To show the extent to which the
wind played havoc this morning there
were found sheets of corrugated iron
weighing from 30 to 40, pounds which
had heen carried $50 yards from the
building by actual measurement. A

on the earth. Another piece of timber
6x6 inches and twelve feet long was
thrown 109 yards and for two hundred
yards small timbers were scattered
promiscously. The building contain
ing the Calciner furnaces was the
building most damaged, it being fiat
tened out in huge pile of friehtfully
crushed timbers and demolished brick
work. The tall brick stack in the
center of the Reverberatory building
was unframed while all around it ev-

wind.

escaped making the wreck of the
buildings also sea of mud in which
the workmen must wallow to get at

struck the buildings at a time when
all the workmen were away, it being
after the closing time for the day and
there were no employees about the
buildings save the watchman. or un-
doubtedly there would have been more
than one life lost.

ABOUT VOTING MACHINES.

| That Ottumwa has taken an ad-
vanced step but one which must be
taken very soon by every progressive
city-the purchase of voting machines,
lis evident from the favorable notice
| the machine plan of voting is receiv-
Ing over the country At the election
Of last week machines were used in
Chicago and in other large cities and
the reports say they proved most sue
cessful both during the voting and
after the polls were closed and the
count began. The characteristic that
strikes the average man most forcibly
is the gain in time that can be eff
fected with the use Of the machines.
In Wapelio county last Tuesday the
voting machine was used in the ninth
precinct polling place. The result of
the voting was known within minute
after the closing of the polls and the
election officials from that precinct
were eating supper while those in the
other precincts were only beginning to
take the count of the straights. This
/ is progressiveness and would be a
good argument in favor of the use of
machines even if there were not 9th
ers to back it up
i The Council Bluffs Nonpareil, 10.
Gated in city somewhat larger than
Ottumwa, but one which has not as
yet made an experiment with voting
machines, devotes considerable space
to leading editorial upon the bene-
fit to be derived from using the ma
chimes. The Nonpareil says:
! IF we are to keep up this break-neck
pace we must, OF course, have the vot-
ing machine. How unbearable that
We should wait hours, or even an hour,
for the election returns, when we
might have them within a few minutes.
or minute, after the polls close The
voting machine is in keeping with the
automobile, the nety-mile-an-hour

instrument, the typesetting machine
and the Hoe press. How homogeneous
that all of these three last are rem
dered inefficient for hours on election
night, while election judges, many OF
whom are none too facile at their un.
usual tasks, slowly go over the heaps
of scratched ballots! 1t is preposterous
that the Am erican people should thus
be held in suspense when they might
just as well have the result from presi-

on the American patience to endure
such things. By all means give us the
