NEW HOMES FOR ITALY.

G NEW HOMES FOR ITALY.
Uncle Sam has undertaken at the
request Of the Italian government the
Herculean task Of building within q
very short time, 500 cottages to shelter
the homeless in the stricken zone IN
far.oH Italy. -.
When that narrowing news was
flashed over the wires telling of the
suffering Of the starving and homeless
of our brethren In Southern Italy,
Uncle Sam was the first to thrust his
hand into his pocket and extend SUBJ
stantlal succor. Eight hundred
Thousand dollars was what he gave as
first aid to the injured. A great
portion of this large sum is being used
to feed the hungry, but $500, 600 of 1t
is to go towards the building of homes
for the homeless. This work is being
carried on with the utmost dispatch
for Uncle Sam is right on the job; he
is the architect, builder and boss
carpenter all in one. Ship after ship
is being loaded with lumber and forces
and hurried on their phllantropic
mission. and soon a. thousand homes
built of American pine will. shelter
those OF another cline.
The plans for the constructions OF
these. cottages were quickly arranged
and hundreds OF sets are being sent
along with each cargo of supplies,
with the specifications and instruc-
tions printed both IN English and
Italian, as 1t IS proposed to have
Italian WO1kmen assist in the build
ing. =
The cottages are to be of the two
room type with ample windows and
doors, and in their construction there
will be but six sizes of lumber used,
viz, the rafters, the studdlng, the
caps, and the corner posts will be 2x4
inch pieces, the corner posts consisting
of two such pieces nailed together. The
stills are. to be 2x6 inch material, and
the floor beams 2x1O inches LAID with
twelve inch centers. The siding Is
inch bevel, laid inches to the
center, and the floors are to be OF

A NEW DECORATION.
Robert Reds Painting for the
Springfield High School.

There has been on exhibition at the Fine Arts
Building for several days past a new decoration
painted by Robert Reid for the high school at
Springfield. Mass. 1t is to commemorate there
the services Of Governor Pyncheon as a pioneer
OF education. as one OF the leaders under whom
the people long ago laid the foundations OF a
commonwealth. relying on the things OF the
mind and the spirit TO strengthen and adOrn Its
material prosperity. The work is admirably
conceived and it is executed with the wonted
skill Of one OF the most accomplished Of Ameri-
can artists After n period devoted 10 easel

cessfully attacked once more problem in mural

painting standing between the Indians grouped
on the left and the Genius OF Education seated

barbarian. who fingers over the wild light of his
campfire, bewildered by the coming OF a new
regime. The white mans ideas are clear and
his purpose Is fixed. He dominates the scene
with gesture OF quiet authority the true In
auguratOr OF an OF civilization. The benign
Goddess of Learning calm and steadfast in her
white robes turns the leaves OF the book OF
knowledge In perfect security. Beside her the
Spirit of Light holds up her potent globe. the
symbol of that power with which the darkness
OF ignorance is dispelled. She. too. is in white.

has happily avoided mere Journalism drawing

ROADS MAY SOON REDUCE
WESTERN FREIGHT RATES

Kindell believes the Western Pacific
will lie the principal factor.
The reason railroad men are in
clined to put faith in the report is be-
cause the Globe Express company, dis
tinctively a Gould corporation, has just
announced that it would handle Wells
Fargo consignments from Glenwood
west on the Denver & Rio Grande and
Western Pacific. 1t is known that a
general alteration of the express tariff
is now being made and it is believed
these charges will include reductions.
elf express rates are reduced it is a
moral certainty freight rates will fol-
low said a railroad man Saturday.
.sFor years Gould has been acting in
~dependently when ever he could, and
when his Western Pacific is completed
he will have a route from coast to
coast, and it's means he can DO as he
pleases. Heretofore the Denver & Rio
Grande has had to maintain amicable
relations with the Oregon Short Line,
because no freight or passenger traffic
originated at its Ogden terminal, nor
could Gould route any traffic to the
coast without using the Hartman
lines. l would not be surprised to see
a slaughter of rates when the Western
Pacific opens.'

Dear Sir-Some time ago there was

Consolidated Mines was behind the

that john S. Cook & Co. owned the
Gardner mill and sold it to the May
flower company, and the Consolidated
had nothing to do with it. Mr.. Stark,
who holds the position of consulting
engineer, holds a like position with
the Combination Fraction. and is also
one of my personal engineers, but is
not connected in any way with the
