SKY LINE CHANGES ARE NOTICEABLE

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. Special.)-
that skyscrapers nave brought about
in the appearance Of New York in III
years is revealed by the skyline photo

1886 shows the spire of Trinity church.
Lerhaps the most famous landmark

Today this spire is barely noticeable.
so completely is it dwarfed by the
tall structures which surround it.
Viewed from the bay the city now
seems an almost solid mass Of brick
and stone. broken here and there by
the steel framework of some new
building.
In the Wall street district the great
est group of skyscrapers in the world
is rising-a result of the Unsuitable de-
mand for office accommodation in the
lower section of the city. The pres
ent tendency of modern business to-
wards concentration is nowhere else
so marked Skyscraper office buildings
have been erected upon almost every
available site and 10 more, averaging
23 stories each. will be added within
the next two years.
Manhattan's Tongue.
With the high buildings becoming
higher and more numerous all the
time, the lower end of New York
the tip OF Manhattan's tongue, as it
is sometimes called-has become the
worl6 : most impressive center of
commercial activity.
Skyscrapers built within the last 10
years are a striking illustration of the
~ogrcss made by American architects
and engineers. Though these buildings
rise hundreds of feet from the ground
they have proved to be absolutely
safe from collapse or fire. This is
largely due to the structural work Of
steel and tie floors and partitions Of
hollow tile bricks--the combination
which successfully withstood the
earthquake and four days of confla-
grafton in San Francisco. The steel
and hollow tile type Of construction
has made the modern skyscraper the
safest and most enduring type of
building.
There are now more than 500 first
class. modern buildings in the lower
section of New York. where the great
shipping. manufacturing. railroad, and
financial interests of the country have
their headquarters Until recently the
"builGing boom" was confined to the
district east of Broadway. the Wall
street side. Now. however, the demand
for offices has compelled builders to
use territory to the west. and the
latest photograph Of the skyline shows
two huge skyscrapers. just finished,
standing almost on the banks of the
Hudson.
The rapid skyward growth of New
York has led to the prediction that Il
skyline photograph taken a few years
hence will show the talleSt building now
standing as completely dwarfed by
newer skyscrapers as the spire of
Trinity church is today. Already foun-
dations are being laid for two office
buildings, to be completed in 1908,
each of which will be Al stories high

SPEED AND GOAL THROWS DO WORKS

Never before have the people Of
Walla Walla seen such basketball as
they saw last night in Whitman COL
lege gymnasium.
Every one of the 10 players in the
game between Whitman and Washing
ton state college was a star. Although
the score Of "a to in favor of the
missionaries made the game one sided
it is compliment enough to the Pullman
fore the whirlwind aggregation from
Whitman and put up as interesting a
game as they did.
Whitman's team work and action
We're far ahead of the agrculturalists'
but it was in basket throwing that the
home team had the great lead. Pull
man simply wasn't in it when it came
to putting the leather sphere through
the iron hoop a loft.
Ned Barnes was the bright. particu-
lar star in the effulgent missionary con-
stellation. He is undoubtedly the most
brilliant basketball player who ever
played in Walla Walla and amply sus-
tanned his state wide reputation last
thrown that they made the spectators
gasp with wonder he cashed in six out
of seven chances to make points on
fouls made by the Pullman team. Pull
man cashed in but two out of nine
chances.
Speed Counted.
Outside of the superior goal throw
ing it was speed that made the score
so one sided. Although Pullman took a
big brace in the last half the little fell
lows from Whitman danced around
them in circles most of the time.
The excitement usually attending a
basketball game was more intense last
night than usual. Missionary rooters
fairly went wild whenever the Whit
man score was driven UP Il notch.
Captain Rigsby Of Whitman made
more field goals than any single player,
putting the ball through four times.
tendance of the college council in Il body
for the last half They were in session
at Reynolds hall but took a recess to
see the game; and We're greeted by
cheers as they marched in between
halves.
The game makes Whitman college
champions of eastern Washington as
they won from Pullman once this
season already Another game will be
played this afternoon, however, which
will close the season for Whitman.
Long to Meet o. A. c.
1t is matter of regret to many that
the star team which Whitman has this
year cannot meet the Oregon agricul-
turaI college team. They are regarded
as the best team in the Northwest but
many critics think that Whitman
could do things to them if opportunity
offered

things their own way all the time.

THE PURE FOOD LAW.

The pure food law was supposed
to commence business all over the
country January J.. From now on
If the law is enforced you will know
Just what sort of stuff you are filling
your interior with, if you take the
trouble TO read the labels on the
bottles and cans. If you are not
satisfied with the information on the
label you can take the stuff to a
chemist and have it Analysed and if
the analysis shows the inscription to
be false you can have the maker of
the bottled goods yanked before the
frowning minion Of the law and
punished. The penalties are pretty
heavy and the maker Of goods with
false brands can be made to feel
that it would have been over 81 in
his pocket if he had never been born.
From now on if the manufacturer
of bologna or wienerwurst fills the
distended intestine with dog meat,
deceased felines and discarded liver,
so seasoned that the character of the
filling cannot be detected by the
average human faster, he will have
to state the proportion Of canine
and feline and kind and amount of
flavoring matter Then If you want
to eat the stuff it is your own look
out.
JeIlies, jams and molasses will all
have to have the label on the jar or
can. We have been eating heap
of stuff on faith for a good many
years We supposed that the name
under which the most Of it was sold
was base deception but we didn't
known for sure and took our chances.
We had no time to run to an assayer
and get an assay Of all the provender
we stored away and then it wouldn't
have done us any particular good to
have known anyway. Now it will
be different. We will know what
we are eating or suppose that we
will and if we fill up on authorizations
it will be our own fault. We will
have no occasion to recalcitrate.
