There is, however, one thing that SUR
passes everything in this haven Of de-
light, and which is looked forward to
with beating heart and great expecta-
tions both by the old people In the
booths and the children swarming out
side-that is the visit Of the king. Gen
orally King Oscar strolls out from his
palace, which is just round the corner,
and pays visit to the fair the day be-
fore Christmas eve. IF you hear a
shout of joy and see a tall, stately
whitc-haired gentleman surrounded by
crowd of children, mostly belonging
to the poorest classes, hanging at his
coattails, you can be sure that "Uncle
King' has come to the Christmas fair
The king, generally unattended by any
of the gentlemen of the court. goes
about among the booths buying from
everybody and scattering his purchases
among the children, who cheer ane
shout with JOY.

tracks. OF course / am not one Of the
council, but II was I think I would have
something to say right here. This is a
very important question 20 the city Of
Minneapolis. Shall the railroads be ele-
waited or lowered. It is question that
everyone should consider well, and It
should not be decided on the spur of the
moment, but looked at from all sides. It
seems to me the people should even have
a right to vote on such vital question.
After about ten years elaboration on this
question, 1t is my honest conviction that
there Is only one successful way to handle
a railroad entering large city like this,
and that is cut it down; lower It. say
from ten to twelve feet. In that way
property is not damaged but very lightly,
In many cases there is no damage at all.
In that way the street crossings are very
easily bridged and at small expense:
business houses at these crossings are not
damaged in the least; streetcars are where
they be1ong-over the railroad, and not
under them. Every argument Is In favor
Of having the railroads lowered. In my

noticed In the columns Of your paper
a statement OF a lumber official at Hib-
bling, Minn.. pertaining to shortage Of
men for work In the woods. It is an
old established custom for lumber COM
panies to bewail a shortage of men Just
the same as the farmers do during har-
vest time. We read in the newspapers
during harvest time that 10000 men are
required to harvest the crop, when in
reality only half that number is required
If the 10000 mon were secured for the
work in the harvest fields the wages
would be reduced Immediately so that it
would not pay to go to the harvest
fields on account Of reduced wages.
:. The same applies to the lumber camps,
The officials advertise for men to 20
to the woods, and in q great many in
stances, after paying their fee in an
employment office. their services are not
required when they reach their destina-
ton, and the men are obliged to walk
many weary miles to reach a city in
order that they may secure assistance
to tide them over until they secure work
again. ~ s.s.E
One reason why men do not leave
town Is because they are not properly
clothed to Withstand the rigors of q
winter climate in the woods or elsewhere
and If they chance to receive unfair
treatment they have not the, money tc

To the Editor Of The Journal
In the discussions of the recent West
hotel fire I have failed to discover any
allusion to the real cause Of the disas-
ter. The deadly elevator shafts are the
cause of more loss of life and property
than all others combined. Fire confined
spreads slowly. but give it a draft and
you get results very quickly. You do not
have to wait for the flames to reach the
Victims; smoke and gas will fill the cor
ridors and rooms above in a few min
utes, driving out the air and rendering
escape impossible, thus making veri-
table mantrap in which help from out
side is. almost impossible.
Now there are two ways by which
this danger can be overcome One Is
to enclose the elevator shafts with nom
combustible material, doors and all, or
have automatic doors inside the eleva-
tors level with the floors. Either of these
devices would effectually cut off the
draft and prevent the rising Of the
deadly fumes to floors above. This would
render our buildings comparatively slow
burning. "A. C. Bausman.

If the smoke and heat in tho elevator
shaft in the West hotel Wednesday
morning could have gotten thru the top
OF the building instead Of being held
inside by thick metal roof, there would
have been no loss of life from suffo-
cation or heat. Would it not, then, be
a good plan for the city to require by
ordinance all large public buildings OF
the freproof class, such as hotels and
office buildings, to roof their elevator
shafts with thin glass over wire net
ting or some other easily destroyed sub
stance? Then, In case Of fire, which
in large buildings usually rushes up thru
elevator shafts the heat would break
thru this prepared roofing, and. with the
suffocating volumes Of smoke, escape tc
