placed as director and manager OF the
Morgantown and hingWood Railway
Company, line about fifty miles long

position IN the " est Virginia coal fed.
Senator Davis Elkins is president OF
this company. He is also president o.
the Elllins Coal Company, which oper-

The manner OF his appointment. we
are informed, was thus: a number OF

governor anu "sugg esie0 that The ap-
polntmenr would be fitting honor
to his father and a lifting recogni-
ton of Young MIR. Elkins' abilities. And
that's no dream.
The susges ton is that the Elkins

governor and selected the next thing
TO the former senator. son trained
by his father, born in the purple of the
old corporation regime, bred to the
theory of corporate divine right.
1t was as fitting from the corpor-

DYING SHIPPING.

The tonnage statistics OF the port OF
Puget Sound, viewed in one light. tell q
sorry story. For many years, during which
the foreign commerce OF this port expand
er at an extraordinary rate. II was the
boast Of this state that the bulk OF its COM
merce was carried in American ships. II
was the one American port which bore this
distinction, for, taking the country as q
whole, upward OF 50 per cent OF its foreign
commerce has been carried in foreign yes
sells, vessels owned by the trade rivals OF
the United States.
In the foreign trade from Puget Sound was
nearly twice as great as the foreign ton
mage That year Puget Sound was the
foremost port in the United States in the
volume OF It's American sail tonnage in the
foreign trade and had more American
steam tonnage in the foreign trade than
all OF the Atlantic ports put together. with
the sole exception Of New York.
AS the trade OF this port has expanded
and the tonnage employed in II has grown
larger the percentage OF the carrying done
by American ships has steadily declined.
Last year the American tonnage IN the
foreign trade was but little over half as
great as the foreign tonnage. While the
total tonnage expanded enormously during
the American tonnage fell on more than
lo00 90 tons.
II seems inevitable that. unless Congress
acts, which seems unlikely. considering
Democratic control OF the lower house, the
American ship is destined TO disappear from
the commerce OF the Pacific. as II has dis
appeared from the commerce Of the Allan
tic. No more ships for the foreign trade
have been laid down at American shipyards
for several years past The day OF the
American ship Is done.-Seatue Post-Intel-

A BROADWAY SKYSCRAPER
To Be Erected by United States
Rubber Company.

The United States Rubber Company Is
TO erect a twenty story office building at
the southeast corner Of Broadway and oeth
street. on a plot 10Sx126 feet. 1t is 70 be
erected on leased land owned by Mary R
Fitzgerald.
The building was projected primarily 70
afford adequate quarters in convenient
uptown location for the offices OF the
United States Rubber Company. as well as
selling space for the United States Tire
Company The latter will occupy the
store with The storage space beneath,
while the rubber company will use a large
part Of the upper portion of the building
The design of the fronts shows rather
free Renaissance treatment.
Because Of the height Of the building 1t
was realized that the entire facade could
not be embraced at a glance. The archl-
tectural scheme is essentially a tWo-part
design, with the lower part more elaoor-
ated than the upper This is somewhat
different scheme of treatment than adopt
ed for the average office building as II
concentrates the ornament and detail IN
the lower section Of the building where II
Is most readily seen from the street, and
permits of treating the upper part as a
long. plain shaft, crowned only with an
adequate cornice. The front is 10 be or
white marble from Vermont, similar IN
effect to that used on the Public Library.
The office entrance is at the south Of the
Broadway front. opening into hall, which
contains six elevators-three express and
three local. The arrangement OF offices
on the two thoroughfares is such that any
number Of offices may be thrown together.
At the extreme end Of the street front Is
the freight entrance. Both of the stair
cases are inclosed.
The height Of the stories is greater than
IS customary in Office buildings, permitting
OF higher windows, and therefore better
light. The foundations Of the building are
carried to bedrock and the basement and
endorsement are fully waterproofed. The
floor surfaces are TO be of masonry. marble
