The Age-HeraId Building.


 The new Age-Herald building will have many novel contrivances never before, seen in a newspaper office in the south. In the first place every mechanical bat tery in the building will be operated by electricity. Electric elevators will carry visitors to the various parts of the build ing Automatic paper chutes will be in- stalled under the sidewalk through which rolls of paper weighing half a ton can slide into place in the storage room in the basement in a seconds time. Auto matic trolleys will convey the paper rolls from the storage rooms to the presses where automatic hoists will place them in proper position on the presses. Every department will have it's individual toilets. lavatories and showers.
 A private telephone exchange will keep every part of the building in close com munication. Automatic copy carriers will convey copy from one department to the other.
 The building will be entirely of brick. stone. concrete and steel and will be ab- solutely fireproof.
 Electric plate elevators have been spe- cially designed for carrying the stereo7 typed plates from the third floor to the basement.
 Private hunks for newsboys will be a feature rarely found in the newspaper of- fee and are put in as acknowledge ment of the important part played by the | newsboy in getting the paper to it's read CTS and they are put in for the boys &C., commodation as a tribute to their loyalty to The Age-Herald in the years past Ev- erything will be done to make their sur roundings pleasant and to keep The Age Herald newsboys up to the high standard that has been maintained in the past
 An eight-foot driveway will extend along the entire east side of the build ing to the alley in the rear which will insure plenty of light and air for all time to come.
 Two new mammoth presses will be 
 installed, one sextuple and the other quad ruple. The combined capacity of the presses will be over 100000 eight-page papers per hour.
 Each linotype typesetting machine will be operated by an individual electric mo- tor and the battery will be so ar ranged to get the greatest results with the maximum of convenience and com fort for the operators.
 In the editorial rooms will be located the two Associated Press wires over which are received 45,OO0 words of telegraph news every day. Special loops of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph com panies will be installed in addition to the Hearst news service wire which The Age- Herald uses to supplement its great tele- graph news service.
 The Age-Herald building will be of striking renaissance design on the ex- terior and it Is believed will be such a structure as every citizen of Birming- ham can point to with just pride.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-13

a fireproof wall will be the stereotyping room. Here the forms will be sent from the composing rooms, the matrices made and the metal plates cast, sawed and trimmed. The electric plate elevator will then drop the plates to the press room In the basement, making 1t altogether as convenient an arrangement as could pos sbly be designed.
 The Engraving Department.
 The engraving department will occupy the entire fourth floor. Here will be placed every convenience to facilitate the making of illustrations for The Age Herald. An immense skylight will make work easy in the day time and huge arc lights will be installed for night work A complete electrotyping department will also be installed in the engravery.

Tennis Championship at Newport.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 17.-This
mroning Newport became a mecca
for scores of the faithful who stand
high in the ranks of the tennis world.

the expert wielders of the racket
flocked into the queen of watering
places so as to be on hand at IL a.
m. sharp, for the opening round OF
the all-important notional champion
ship tournament of the United States
Lawn Tennis association at the New

DITCH
ALL THE LAND OWNERS
UNDER THE PROJECT HAVE
SIGNED UP-PROJECT HAS
BEEN FINANCED.

The Hummer and Crane irrigation,
known as the high line ditch, by
which it is proposed to reclaim a
large area of the Brewster flats, is
now an assured fact and active work
by the surveyors will comence within
the next thirty days, says the Okan-
ogan Independent. The project has
been financed and r. W. Hummer,
who has been actively engaged in get
ting the land owners under the pro-
ject signed up, announces that nearly
all the land under the ditch has been
Fsigned up.
The coming winter will be devoted
to doing the heavy rock work neces-
sary.
This is one of the most important
projects in the northwest and its
completion means that over 10000
acres will be furnished with water.
This will eventually be cut into small
tracts of from five to twenty acres.

INTEREST IN MUIR
DER TRIAL

Atlanta, Ga, Aug 17.-Much in
terest is manifested in the case of
Donald NJ. Balm, who is to be put on
trial this week on the charge of MUIR
dering E. G. Williams on June %,
last The trial promises to be long
legal battle The killing of Williams
occurred in the local Office of the FL
deity and Casualty company of New
York, where both Balm and Will
Jams were employed. The tragedy
resulted from what was intended to
be a harmless practical joke. A
placard had been placed on Williams
desk, stating that he was out of
town, in Milledgeville. The state
asylum for the insane is located in
Milledgeville and Williams resented
the placard and is said to have
charged Balm for being responsible
for it. In the quarrel that followed
Williams slapped Bain's face. The
latter then drew a revolver, it is
said, ana fired with fatal effect. It
is understood that Balm will plead
self defense

The Local paper n the Home.

The local newspaper should be
found in every home. No child will
ever grow UP Ignorant who con be
taught to appreciate the home paper.
II is the stepping stone TO intelligence
In all those matters not to be learned
in books. Give your children for
eign paper which contains not one
word abbout any person, place or
thing which they ever saw or perhaps
ever heard of, and how can you ex-
pect them to be interested ? But let
them have the home paper and read
of persons whom they meet, and
places with which they are familiar
and soon an interest is awakened
which increases with every daily ar
rival OF the local paper. Thus q
habit of reading is formed, and those
children will read the papers all their
lives and become intelligent men and
women. a credit to their ancestors,
strong in their knowledge of the world
as II is today.
