There is new era OF building at
hand. Every year the steel building
re-enforced by concrete Is gaining
ground The earthquake at San Fran
cisco demonstrated It's durability and
fiexibility beyond a doubt II with
stands fire. wind and even earthquake.
Il is nearly excluding all other kinds
Of buildings where many stories are
desirable. Oblahomas vast and un-
limited supply of this class Of material
point to its extensive use in future
city building
New York has taken the lesson from
san Francisco. William T.. Curtis in
the Chicago Record-Herald writing OF
New York, says:
Concrete walls are being adopted
qrite generally in New York as a sub.
stitute for brick and stone You find
them being nodded in single masses,
in almost every part of the city You
can see the men shoveling ,cement and
sand into narrow wooden molds in
which skeletons OF steel rods have al
ready been placed. When the wall is
hnishcd as high as the architect has
ra sed the steel construction work
that is to bear the weight OF the build
ing the concrete is allowed a few
weeks to harden, the boards are torn
away, and the rough surface of the
wall or the shell OF the building, as
they call it, is smeared over with
plaster. This sort of construction is
said TO be quite as durable and safe
as either brick, terra-cotta or stone,
and is very much cheaper. The shell
of a modern sky-scraper bears no
weight and only atmospheric pressure.
It merely serves ta shut out the cold
aud dampness and secure the privacy
OF the people who occupy the build

HARD work AND OVERTIME.

The constitutional convention is
hard at work 1t has been working
hard ever since it assembled There
never has been body of men, who
worked harder or have tried more
sin ,erely TO make q good constitution.
They are honest men and believe in
honest work. They are thorough in
all they do
The convention could have met and
gllded through its work by copying
the constitution of some other state
or by prolific use of paste-pot and
scissors. They might have very
quickly made a constitutional crazy

for their great work forbade them to

COUNTIES AND rowNsHIps.

The county government Is to re-
main Substantially as it at present ex-
ists in Oklahoma. With a very few
provisions the whole subject is very
properly passed up to the legislature.
While the committee report estab-
fishes the county officers they are
subject to change by tae legislature.
Tbs names of the county Offices re-
main the same except that the county
clerk is to be called the county audi
tor and the probate court is to be
called the county court
The powers and jurisdictions of all
OFFICERS are to remain the same as
under the laws OF Oklahoma until
otherwise directed by the legislature
of the new state The compensation
Of county officers will likewise remain
the same as at present until changed
by the legislature.
Thre is an additional re.ommenda-
ton made by the committee. that the
several county boards OF election com.
missioners be authorized by ordinance
TO divide all counties not yet organiz-
cd into three temporary county com
missioner districts with population as
-~Nr.tA - NHt1A 40 may hir
These election commissioners are
also TO divide the county into tenn
porary townships
The committee recommends also
that provision be made for electing
county commissioners and municipal
township officers IN all counties not
yet organized. "st the election submit
ting the constitution for ratification. /"
These pnN i, rs without Gnduly
lcpmberlng tn. - +iea for the adop.
ton OF the eons 7fton would greatly
facilitate the organization of the new
counties which would otherwise be
compelled to wait until after the con.
vening of the first Legislature and an
election TO be held under such act OF
the legislature.
The way the new counties were or
ganized IN Oklahoma Il will be recall
ed was 10 have the governor appoint
a f1ll set of temporary county Officers
TO hold until after the first election.
This, however, often proved ansatis.
factory and very frequently resulted
/ in loading the county up with a big
debt before the people could get con
n,1 OF the sitlation. In this way the
people would be charged with fun
! responsibility from the start.
II Is highly desirable that the new
co mites settle down 10 business al
once and these provisions would give
them a start.
