The Hotel Bixby, which has

six months, was to be one of the
best-appointed hotels on the south
ern coas'. The cost of the building
was estimated at $25o,ooo. The
plans called for 276 guest chambers
and the building covered ground
space of It's by 34S feet. Four
stories of the structure had reached
completion. 1t was being built on
the beach facing the ocean and
about 200 feet distant from the
shore.
A representative of the architec-
tural firms says that the acci-

fact that the floors of the building
were of reinforced tile, which evi-

of the structure. Reinforced con-
crete had been recommended in the
plans and specifications drawn for
the building, and that material
was provided. The reinforced tile

Louis, St. Joseph, St. Paul and Fort Worth The same methods of purchas- ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at all cities At Chicago, which is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, representing packers. local slaughterers in various cities, and exporters. Of this number, less than a score are employed by Swift & Company.
 The farmer ships his live stock to Chicago, consigns them to a commis- sion firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the commis- sion dealer. who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates All buying must be finished at o'clock each day. and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satisfactory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day. He gets his commission from the farmer, and naturally strives to get the highest possible price for his client.
