At the close Of the civil war the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and Sew
enth street northwest was the center OF
the business section. All the larger and
better stores were within "a radius OF
a few squares and the business activ-
tiles OF the city, at least IN the larger
retail lines reyolved around that point.
Pennsylvania avenue VAS Of course the
main thoroughfare Of the city. as it will
perhaps ever continue 10 be- while
Seventh street was the second street

business. The street cars OF that day
tTaVersed only those two arteries OF
trade and the shoppers daily gravitated
toward these points when In need OF
the many necessities Of daily life.
Seventh street then. as now, was an
active rival for the retail shopping
trade and there still remains several
buildings that were OF pTetenuOus
character in the day and time Of their
construction.
Built by William Higgins.
II was about this time that the build
ing Of the Patent ONCE created a de-
mand for office buildings and William
Higgins. who was engaged IN the CON
struction Of the Patent once, purchased
the ground and erected the marble
building now Standing az 605-6O7 Seventh
street. and which was considered at the
time the hanGs0mest building OF its
class iD the city
That il was we'll and thoroughly con-
structed goes without saying, as Mr.
Higgins long enjoyed the reputation OF
being one Of the fraternity OF CONTRACT
Ors who was capable only OF doing the

NEW YORK. Sept. I5.-How long win
the skyscraper last? Since the an
nouncement that fifteen new skyscrap-
ers are to be constructed here. there
has been considerable discussion Of this
question. Engineers and architects who
are familiar with the problems involved
are agreed that II proper precautions
are taken 10 protect the structural steel
from rust and fire there is practically
no limit TO their endurance
In view OF the fact that $4,000 600 are
to be put into these fifteen new sky
scrapers the assurance that they will
stand for generations has given their
owners and builders a considerable feel
ing Of security.
Foundations Must Be Firm.
The ordinary observer hardly realizes
what extraordinary precautions are
necessary 10 prevent any serious injury
TO the big steal structures OF this and
other large cities. Foundations even OF
structures thirty OF forty stories high,
are now so firmly built that although
the whole building may weigh hundreds
the fraction OF an inch.
The large area OF a structure over 500
feet high makes the question OF wind
braclng one for very serious and ac-
curate calculation. but architects have
now got the thing down so fine that
they can work out this difficult prob
lem 20 a nicely
Protecting the Steel.
With the question Of foundations and
wind bracing settlec, then come the
problems Of protecting the structural
steel rom rust and heat and the proper
use of fFeproogng materials, Il IS upon
the adequate protection OF the steel that
the life Of a skyscraper depends. Once
rust or cOrrosion sets IN. the destruc-
tiOn Of the entire building would be-

IS one Of the most unlikely things that !
could happen in the modern skyscraper. /

other successful farmers, whom
we have confidence in being able
to make success in this business,

that has been reached we will not

It would not be wise for parties
to plant sugar beets on land that

that the land in the Blackfoot

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. %, 1905.
EEIToR OF THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN:
Idahoans at the National Capital, hav-
ing the best interests Of their state at
heart, are extremely anxious that Mr..
W. e. Borah shall be elected to the
Senate Of the United States, and Hon.
Burton L. French returned to the House
Of Representatives.
The fact that Democratic senator,
true to the policy Of his party, is placed
in the embarrassing position Of opposing
measures which have made and are
making Idaho one Of the prosperous
states Of the Great Northwest, should
alone b. sufficient to determine the atti-
tude of every voter who recognizes the
result attained by the principle Of tariff
protection in it's application to the grow.
ing industries Of the young common
wealth.
II the people wisely regard the welfare
of the state as paramount to flimsy,
worn-out issue. sprung for the sole pur-
pose Of attempting to mislead and blind
them as to the real issues, the Repnbli-
can ticket, composed Of candidates Of
most progressive spirit, will receive an
unprecedented majority.
From the viewpoint Of one familiar
with the situation here, and who knows
the workings Of Congress, perhaps it will
not be amiss to briefly set forth few
logical and sensible reasons why the
State Of Idaho should have in that body
q solid Republican delegation.
If the State Of New York IA little over
half as large in area as Idaho should
lose two-thirds Of its party congressional
delegation, it would not materially Grip

Of legislation is conceded by an estab-
lished custom. Its people, for the most
part, live in cities and are not depend.

The new states of the Far West are

Ninety seven per cent Of Idaho's popula-
ton reside in rural districts and are de-
pendent, to,a great extent, upon national
legislation for the upbuilding Of their
institutions and the development Of their
varied and natural resources.

Japan's Sulphur Supply.

| Sulphur is not so essential in war
as it once was, but the Japanese would

SLAMS without it, Three years before
the war the yearly output of Japanese
sulphur was about 5000 tons. There
are deposits in FOrmOsa, but these
would have taken some considerable
time to develop; whereas in the Ku-
riles there are known to exist the
richest accumulations of the material
ever discovered, exceeding even those

WHY YOUNG TREES ARE BEST.
They Can Easily Be Trained to Any
Desired Form.

These are the advantages of plant
ing young trees: They can be trained
to the desired form better than old
er trees, says Farming A two or
three-year-Old tree is branched and
has its head already formed by the
nurseryman; a yearling tree of the
apple, pear and sweet cherry is usu-
ally unbranched. Sometimes the
nursery man has headed the tree too
high or has not been careful enough
about starting out the scaffold limbs,
and it is difficult to correct the form
Of the head after it has been started.
There is an unmistakable prefer
ence for lOw-headed trees, due chief
ly to the need of economy and eff
cheney in spraying and harvesting. The
single advantage of low heading is
greater Inconvenience in tillage. This
is much more than offset by the ad-
in the judgment of most
growers. Within ten years the height
recommended for heading apple trees
in the east has been reduced at least
two feet The bearing of this on the
matter of yearling trees is that the
grower can head yearling tree where
he pleaSes.

Hindu Moon Lore.

The full eclipse of the moon was OBJ
served in Singapore on the night Of
August 4. According to the Hindus
this eclipse is the contact between
the moon and another planet called
RahOo, but the masses believe that
owing to the will of God, RahOo, or the
serpentlike planet, catches hold of the
moon by its hideous mouth and re-
leases 1T after a short time.
At the first contact the Hindus
battle principally in the sea and anxi-
ously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur
ing the interval they are not allowed
even to drink cup of water, as their
belief is that all things in the world
get polluted during the contact.-Sing.

Two men spending the summer ir

them, but without seeing anything;

porch:
