.8-STORY BUILDING
TO COST $25O,OOO
TO BE ERECTED AT ONCE AT
SAN DIEGO
Henry Timkln g. Sons Are Financial
Rackers of Enterprise-Archtec
Albright Has Plans
Ready

All arrangements have been perfected
for the immediate erection of an eight
story reinforced concrete office build
ing at San Diego, to cost $260,OOO. Har-
rison Albright of Los Angeles is the
architect. The lot upon which erection
Is to be made is at the southwest cor
ner of Sixth and e streets. The own
ers, for whom the building will be
erected, are Henry Timkins & Sons.
The structure will have a frontage of
125 feet on Sixth street and 125 feet on
r street. The footings, columns, grid
ers, roof, stairways, interior and exteri-
or walls will be of reinforced concrete,
the same method of construction as
that of the u. S. Grant hotel and the
San Diego Union building being used.
The interior finish will be mahoganized
birch, with handsomely decorated walls
and ceilings throughout
In addition to the big stores on the
ground floor, the structure will contain
more than 200 offices, with toilets on
each floor. Each office, in addition to
being accommodating, will open di-
rect upon the corridors. Each will be
fitted up with clothes closets, lavatory
radiator, electric light fixtures and
sockets for telephone and desk lamps.
Each office will have two or three win
dows. The building will be heated by
steam, lighted by electricity and
cleaned by the vacuum air suction sys-
tenn.
There will be three high speed plunger
elevators running from the basement to
the eighth floor, and one light from the
basement to the sidewalk, besides two
stairways, one of which will be entirely
enclosed with a separate entrance on u
street.
The main entrance to the building is
located on Sixth street, opening into
spacious lobby, access from which can
be had from the basement, stores and
offices by means of stairs and elevators.
The lobby will be finished with mar
BILE walls and mosaic tile floors. The
stairways leading from the lobby to the
basement and to the second floor Will
also be marble.
To Award Contracts
Timkin says that unless unforeseen
and unavoidable delay not in his con-
troll should occur the contracts VIII
have been awarded and the work under
way within the next two to four weeks
or possibly less time.
The decision to proceed at once with
the construction of the building was
definitely made following the receipt OF
a telegram by Timkin from his sons in
the east stating that all financial ar
engagements connected with the under
taking had been completed and that
everything was now in readiness Tor
actuel work to begin.
Had it not been for the recent finan-
cial furry construction would already
have been we'll under way, but this ope-
rated to delay matters, since for pc
Rod of several weeks money was in
such demand that very few structures
of this character were being started
anywhere in the United States.

Just Like a Norman.

A we'll known judge had habit Of
slipping his watch under his pillow
when he went to bed. One night
somehow, it slipped down, and as the
Judge was restless 1t worked its way
to the foot of the bed
After a bit he awoke, and his foot
touched it. 1t felt very cold, and he
was scared and jumped from his bed
and shouted: My gracious, Maria!
There's toad or something under the
covers! / touched 1t with my foot!''
His wife gave a loud scream and
was on the floor in moment.
Nov, don't go waking the neighbors
up" said the judge. 'You get broom
or something, and Wen fix it quick"
The broom was given him.
Now turn down the covers slowly
while bang it. Put bucket of wa
ter alongside the bed, so as we can
shove it in and drown it,
Maria fixed the bucket and removed
the covers. After three or four good
bangs they pushed it in the bucket
and then they took it to the light tc
investigate.
When the judge saw it was his
watch he said II might have known

Which Are You?

In this world there are two kinds
Of men-those who look upon the
bright side Of things and those who
walk In the shadow and see nothing
but encouragement ahead,
The cheerful man when he sees work
accumulate attacks it heartily and soon
clears it away, regarding his work as
fun. The other looks and looks, his
face growing longer each minute, and
then says to himself: How much
work do they expect me to do on my
pay? l can't possibly get through all
this today"
Then presently when he settles down
to work be finds that the cheerful man
has nearly finished and envies him
his light job.
He never thinks that the optimist
gets through by working steadily,
without lettering to growl at what he
has to do The thought that he might
work too hard never occurs to the
cheerful man.
Again, the discontinued one fmagines
that his employer does not notice his
merits or the reverse and loses inter
est in his work. This is wrong, fol-
every employer knows when young
fellow is doing his duty well. He may
not have time to give praise personals
ly, but he knows just the same.
