office were made to order at the Ryder Mills, under direction of Billy" Suth- erland and are one of the features that will attract the attention of visi- tors on entering. They are of burnt" wood; that is the ornamentation is pri marily scared into the grain by fire and later vanished, while the counter tops are Of polished hard wood. The vanishing was done by F. J. Taylor, a skilled artist. The Republican is pleas ed with the workmanship of all, and ventures the assertion that none of the artisans are ashmaed of their performances.
 THE INSIDE OF IT.
 The main entrance to the building is on Adams street, by ascending a short flight of stairs to the second floor. which leads the visitor into an apartment 4Sx32. This is sub divided by the fixtures of the business office. the chief departments being on the left or west side. The general en- semble looks very like a banking in stitutiOn or other large counting room. Facing the front window nearest the street corner is the private office of the business manager. The remain der of the west side of the room is devoted to the various desks of the cashier, circulation department, ad- vertising department. etc, with the necessary wickets and counters. The opposite side of the room for the pres ent is utilized as a reception room with conveniences for patrons. It will later be occupied in part by the papers As sociated Press operator and such other facilities as may be found to be re- quired when a natural adjustment fol- lows temporary settling down. A stairway also leads from the northeast corner of this large room to the base ment floor.
 From the rear of this room a hall of proper width and fl feet long leads to the large room in the rear of the second floor, which is devoted to the purposes of the job department. It is here the job presses, paper cutting ma chinery and all the necessary adtuncts are installed or being installed. Here also is the job composing room, stock room for paper and all materials uti- lized in job printing, all together in one compact department. From this room also a side entrance opens from Second street.
 On either side of the hallway be- tween the business office and job de- partment, are the editorial offices. The room on the east side of the hall is l4xl5, and is occupied by the man aging editor and editor and their of- flee paraphernalia. This is the nerve center of the institution. the place des- cribed in every newspaper write-up ever given to the public down to this twentieth century, whether metro politan daily or a cross roads weekly as the "sanctum sanctOrum.' Its big window opens to the east. not as many might suppose, to greet the rising sun as if sheds it's effulgence over dark- ened world, symbOlical of the all-per- yading light that emanates from the editorial cerebrum, but to escape tne narboiIing salutations of that sell same sun. The editor works at nlgh' and when he goes on shift he wants tc know that the sun has passed the
 meridian and "ducked" for ''our insulal possessions"
 Across the hall, facing Second street is the city news or reportorial depart ment where the raw material ron which editors are sometimes made E hammered into shape. This room X 14x95 in size and is convenlenuS fitted up with desks, chairs, type"rll'
