none Of which will cost less than
$500 This is the lowest price at which
u building may be built in the addi-
ton. 1t Is said that about 100000
more will be spent in identifying the
grounds in addition to the $4,000
which is said to have been already
spent on THE Grown of Brigham
Street
James Stewart e Company, the con-
tractors for the Commercial club build
ing, have built an office on the ground,
and started a few men at work this
week puttingin concrete in the base
ment.
The reinforced concrete basement
pillars and the concrete floor for the
new Mining and Stock Exchange
building in Exchange Place, have been
run into the moulds during the past
week. The whole mass is at present
supported by lumber so constructed
that it coulG all be run a once. When
the timber is withdrawn it will show
the ground floor and supports all
joined in one solid mass OF concrete.
Phenomenal activity in the build
ing line is not confined to Salt Lake
City, judging by reports which come
II, hand from the east and west. Some
statistics compiled for the Boston fin
fancial News place the total contracts
awarded to May 5. 1909, in New Eng
land at 49,705,000 as against S19,11S,-
900 for tho same period in 1905
Contractor Enoch Smith has finish
ed about one-fourth of the concrete
roofing for the new car barns on
Seventh East About 10000 feet of two
inch lumber is being used as q floor
for the concrete, being laid down tenn
porarily and overspread With building
papersand tarred felt. The under sur
face of the concrete roof Is thus made
perfectly smooth, and as an aid the
support ededefor each span,the con-
crete Is reinforced with prepared iron,
which is Embedded in the cement. The
roofing is three. inches thick, and about
|one-fourth the roofs are composed
'iof sltElights. The plan Is a novel one
for this city, but it is said to be sue
Scessful and everlasting.
a new style OF architecture for this
city has been introduced by Charles
N. Whiting in his terrace of five cot
3tuges which he is building on Third
South between Fifth and Sixth East
streets. 1t is known as the English
half timber" and presents u very
beautiful appearance toAtfle eye. Mr..
Whiting intends building several ter
races of similar cottages, finishing
them in the most modern style at q
cost OF from $4,000 to $4,000.

A blase observer, looking over the
~variegated display of unconventional
dress on the floor of the senate not
long ago rendered the opinion that ii
haberdashery had been as far ad-
vanced then as now the statesmen OF
that gloriied period would have ia.
ken advantage of it. But 1t does knock
school book ideals to flinders, never
theless, to view the realities OF to-
day. Convention as to attire is losing
ground even faster than the traditions
that are falling under the force of rad
ical senators who recently have en-
dent Sherman appeared one day in a

er ease.
The southern senators are more prone
to cling to the boiled shirt" Collec-
lively the senate resembles an aggre-
CATION of bank clerks as it pursues
its work. Dignity is very, very negli-
gee. AS yet, however, no statesman
has removed his shoes, as a southern
senator did his boots one sultry day a
few years ago.

Senate Puzzled Over Roosevelt Bust

While Senator Wetmore, chairman
of the library committee, has not com
mitted himself in favor of either one,
it is rumored that he and the other
members of the committee are dis
posed to award the palm to strenu-
osity.
IT'S said they think the senate will
feel more at home with that one look
ing down on it's deliberations. But
the rub comes on account of the fact
that Col. Roosevelt has himself ex.
pressed preference for his reposeful
self.
Before he left the White House he
was shown the work Of Mr.. Frazier
and did not hesitate a moment in
mank his choice.
OF course, the committee recognizes
that Col. Roosevelt ought to have
something to say about his own bust,
but the question it is trying to decide
is how much. The committee is in
clined to think that the senate ought
to have something to say about the
matter, too.
1t is truly a knotty problem. and n
that is likely to cause the library
committee much worry.

war kind and in the engagement was killed
Ensign Worth Bagley, the only officer OF the
American sea service who lost his life In the
conflict with Spain.
Early in May, 1898, the Wilmington, Com
mander Todd, the Hudson, Lieut.. NewcomD,
and the Winslow, Lieut.. Bernadou, sailed into
Cardenas Harbor in search of some Spanish
gunboats which were believed to be anchored
there. Commander Todd being the senior
officer present, was in command of the little
squadron of three vessels. In order to pre-
vent the escape of any ships of the enemy he
ordered his two junior commanding officers to
search either side of the bay while he took
his own vessel straight down the middle OF
the harbor.
1t happened, however, that the commanding
officer himself first caught sight of a Spanish
gunboat apparently moored to a wharf on the
water front of the town. He signaled: Win
slow go in and investigate gunboat moored to
wharf, there on right, painted gray"
FAY, Ay, sir" came the answer and Berna-
dou took the Winslow in.
The Spanish gunboat turned out to be the
Antonio Lopez. Bernadou headed for the town
with the Winslow under full speed. When the
boat was at a distance Of about $500 yards
from the wharf smoke appeared from the bow
of the Spanish boat and a shell whizzed by
the port side Of the Winslow. Instantly con-
cealed land batteries opened on Bernadou's
little torpedo craft. In a minute the Ameri-
can vessel was In the center OF a perfect
storm of projectiles.
Bernadou was no laggard in returning the
fire of the enemy, but the luck or nature was
