Youngest Chief Justice.

Idaho can lay claim to having the
youngest supreme justice in the
United States, or will BE- able 10 do
so next Monday, when the new Of
ficers are sworn in. Justice Al =
SHE, for the past four years assc-
ciate justice, will then take his po-
sition at the head of the court, and
he will be the honored youngest
iustice. He is SO years of age.
Kansas has supreme judge who
is flair, fat and forty,' but Idaho
goes the windy grasshopper state
one better. Jduge Ailshie is none
of the three. Not fair, for his hair
what he has left-is black as a
ravens wing; not fat, for he is as
thin as prize athlete; and not for
ty, for that comparative old age is
still two years away. In fact, he
will be entirely out of the game be-
fore that time.
Judge Ailshie has made an unus.
ually good record on the bench. No

cannot be termed hoy Justice,
for his legal opinions are founded
on hard sense, and are not put fortf
as sophomore essays to be taker
with due allowance for youthful Elk
uberance. They are the kind tina
will stand as precedent for the fu
ture.
4 The judge is native of Ten
nessee, but has been in Idaho for Il
years. He once taught school down
in Missouri, where he had to excus
some of his pupils every day t
have their regular spells of chill
and fever. He says that but 70

THE LAST COWBOY

The Last Cowboy looked at the
caravan of prairie schooners wait
ing for the opening of the Big Pas
ture. Far away the wisps of smoke
from a FIGURING mill blurred the
horizon.
''Mexico for me-, was all he
said
There are nc more Big Pastures.
There was all of Oklahoma once.
Then the government cut down the
range by the great opening of 1888.
Then there was the Cherokee Strip
and this went out in the great rush
of 1898. Then there was No Man S
Land, and this is now peaceful
county in Oklahoma, settled by the
despised "Nestors. - Then there
was the l. X. l., with its three
million acres in a solid body. This
has been cut up in small farms and
Amarillo, the old cattle outfitting
point, has become city of farmers.
And last of all was the Big Pas
tlre. Now that is going.
The Last Cowboy was too good a
loser to whimper. 1T was a great
day for us while it lasted, - he said.

Allen DoOne.

To hear Allen Doone laugh or
sing, TO see him smile or watch him
play, is a treat that can be stored in
the playgoers memory and be drawn
upon when the evenings are duh
and the heart is weary and heavy.
When Allen Doone plays joseph
Murphy's Kerry Cow" some
laugh and think that Dan O'Hsra
is highly buoyant, and paints the
lighter side of true Irish souls ;
others cry and believe that the
Kerry Cow is the sweetest bit
of pathos from II ish land, and be-
tween the laughter and tears comes
the conviction that Allen Doone is
a great singer and fine actor. A
few years ago it was said that
Joseph Murphy and Kerry Cow
could not be distinctly separated.
Critics generally differ on this
point as to the part of the play OF
the part of the men. Some argl {
that Murphy made the play while
others testify that the play made
Murphy, which of the arguments i:
correct is hard to say, but it is foi
any palygoer to see that both Muir
ply and the Kerry Cow" are de
lights in the theatrical world. A

TOWER OF BABEL NOT
INIT WITH SKYSCRAPER
Forb-one Story Building. 625 Feet High.
now GOing up in New
York City.

The Singer Sewing Machine
company's building now in course
of construction at Broadway and
Liberty street, New York, will,
when completed, be the highest
structure ever iected by man for
office or business purposes.
The tower, sixty-five feet square,
will rise 612 feet above che street
level. 1t will be six feet taller
than the Tower of Babel, sixty
five feet taller than the Philadel-
phia city hall, eight feet higher
than the spire of the Cologne
cathedral, and will contain forty
one stories. The height of the
main building will be, from cellar
to roof, 1875 feet. -
In order to secure a rock foun-
dation upon which to erect this
great building it has. been necessary
to dig down ninety feet below the
surface of the ground.
Workmen are now engaged IN re-
moving the earth by means of great
working chambers or boxes con-
structcd of heavy timber or steel,
without bottoms, the lower edges
being shod with the latter metal
which are lowered into place and a.
the earth is removed from below il
huge buckets operated by steam en-
gincs, they gradually sink.
When one of these chambers o
caissons settles below the waite
: line a sectional shaft equipped witt
an air lock is inserted in the roo
and compressed air is pumped int
the chamber to keep it clear o
water, one pound of pressure bein
employed for each two and one-thir
feet of depth. Without such an ar
rangement it would be impossible t
reach bed rock. 1t is expected tina
the Singer budding will be com
pleted and ready for occupancy i
May, 1908.
The erection of tower of sue
enormous height presents, so Ernes
w. Flagg, the architect, says, n
tremendous engineering Difficult
ties. The only unusual feature wi
be the wind braces, which, althoug
not required by the building depart
ment, are to be made independer
of the wall.
Not a cubic unit of wood wi
aa+e, into the construction of II
building, even the. sash and dooi
being of metal and the floors OF ct

expected will number 20. 600 to al
one of the forty-one floors.
