A 12-STORY HOTEL
ATLANTIC CITY GIVES
THE WORLD A NEW PLAN
Monster Rnilding Without Brick, Steel
Beam, Girler or Column-An the
Walls, FLOORS and Roof Made of
Hollow Tiles-Most Unique Building
I'm the World.

Atlantic City. Jan. 17.-An abso-
luteiy fireproof hotel, - stories high.
built without a single brick, steel
beam, girder or column, is Atlantic
City's latest novelty. The like of this
structure is not to be found anywhere
else.
Fer various reasons-one being that
the noise of erecting a steel frame
building would have driven away
guests from adjoining notes.-the
builders and architects were called
upon for plans by which it would be
possible to put up a structure 326 feet
long and 100 feet high. without the
racket made by steel riveters and
stone workers. The first exclusively
hollow tile and cement building on
large scale is the result.
The necessity for keeping compare
lively quiet was only one trouble of
the builders of this architectural Won
der. AT the very outset the builders
the National Fireproofing company.
were confronted with a foundation
problem which was finally solved by
driving 1900 piles into the sand of the
beach by jettying.
On this foundation a frame of con-
crete uprights and glrders, strength
ened with steel rods, was raised.
Next came the walls and floors, all of
fireproof hollow tile. Outside the tile
is pebble dashed. and makes a very
handsome appearance. Inside the
plaster is applied directly to the tile.
In the floors hollow tile is also used
between reinforced cement, thus saw
ing weight and making of the trans
verse, as well as the upright parti-
tions so many impossible fire bar
riers.
Comparatively low COST, great saw
ing in time and fireproof qualities un-
approached in any other form OF con-
struction, are the special advantages
! claimed for this new style of build
| ing.
Beginning work on June 18th, the
builders were able to promise TO
complete the job so quickly that the
Motel could be furnished and ready
for business on February 1st. Note
worthy features of the new seashore
palace will be that every room will
have a bath and a bay window.
There are two sun parlors, one 25
feet wide and heated by six elaborate
fireplaces, overlooking the board
walk. and another running along the
length of the hotel. But from the
viewpoint of the hotel patron, the bes
thing about this new hostelry is thai
1t cannot burn. Engineers and build.
ers are more deeply interested in the
novel features of construction devel.
oped in this hotel (the Marlborough.
Blenheim), and many experts have
been here to inspect it.

order brought about by the recent
contest.
That the two factions will reamain
in Walla Walla there is little reason
to doubt, but there must now be a
sorting up of the fragments of the
two factions to determine who is who
and to devise some method for the
effectual smalgamation of the boxers
and the Ankenyites, who are now
hopelessly divided among themselves.
And this may be the great obstacle
in the way of building up a new ma
chine out of the material at hand
and have it in perfect working order
by the time it will be needed.
1t will be a difficult matter for
some of the old leaders in both fac
tions to work by the side of those
whom they have so vigorously fought
in the past, but it is pointed out that
good political generalship will only
be needed to accomplish this result.
1t is claimed that the breach be-
tween Senator Ankeny and his here
tofore warmest supporters, who have
stood by him through thick and thin,
and which eliminated in the recent
open rupture, has been brought about
by the failure of Mr.. Ankeny to ap-
preciate and properly recognize the
services rendered by his friends, even
to the extent of reimbursing them for
the time and money actually expend-
ed while working in his behalf.
With such treatment at his hands.
they feel there is little encourage
ment to continue the work.

DIED AT 118 YEARS OF AGE.
John Hughes of Grangeville, Oldest
on Pacific Coast,

special from Grangeville, Idaho,
to the Lewiston Tribune, says of the
death of an aged pioner:
John Hughes, aged 116 years and
who was the oldest man on the Pa
cific coast, died at 4 o'clock this af-
ternoOn at his home here. The aged
gentleman mas been failing rapidly
for several weeks and for many days
it has been realized that he could not
recover. His death was due to no
particular ailment but instead simply
to old age. Almost up to the hour of
his death his mind was clear and dur
ing the weeks that he has been con-
fined to his bed he has been able to
eat heartily. His funeral will be held
tomorrow.
Accurate data as to the birthplace
of Mr.. Hughes is not available, but he
was a native of either Kentucky or
Tennessee. He was one of the men
who participated in the stampede to
California, and men who knew him in
California in the year 1850 stated he
was then an old man.
He followed the mining stampedes
into Oregon and later came to Idaho
during the early sixties. For a long
period he was in the Warren country
and he came to the Camas prairie in
1872. since which time he has made
his home here. For years he followed
the occupation of saving wood. He
was a man of fine habits and was re-
spected by everybody. He has nj
known relatives.

FISH AND GAME MEETING.
State Society VIII Hold Convention In
Portland About january 20.

The annual meeting of the Oregon
Fish and Game association will prob
ably be held about Tuesday, January
3O says the Oregonian. The delay in
announcing the date of the meeting
has been caused by the absence of
several members of the organization,
and the secretary desires to secure as
full an attendance as possible, as
there are several important matters
to come before the meeting.
Secretary A. f.. Gebhart has a plan
of reorganization in view which he
intends to submit to the organization.
Heretofore there has been a great
deal of difficulty in getting the out
of-town members to evince a more
than passing interest in the affairs OF
the association, and by the proposed
new system of organization, the mem
bers of the different portions of the
state would be formed into sub-or-
ganlzations in their respective districts
and given authority to act in matters
pertaining to the work of the associa'
ton that would benefit their particu.
lar localities.
