BY far The largest part Of the termi-
nal Is underground, distributed over
sever different levels, the lowest at
a depth Of more than fifty feet below
the street Aeyei.
The Old terminal with IFS Office
buildings, sheds. etc, covered IN
area Of ~ acres, while the new term
inal with its additional improvements
win cover seventy.nine acres, with q
%trackage of seventy acres. For the
construction Of the building and sub.
more than 100000 cubic yards OF
structure 11s.e00 IONS of steel and
more than 100000 cubic yards Of
concrete we're required.
The terminal building was planned
with a view OF facilitating as much as
traffic going on there at all seasons
at the yetr. With that object in view
the express train service and the sub
urbantrain service were placed upon
different levels, with separate waiting
rooms. each large enough TO accom-
odate from 5000 TO $1,000 persons at
one time. The tracks are located on
levels below the levels OF the wat
ing rooms and are reached by 3 TO 4
per cent inclines. Steps are avoided
in all parts Of the aerminal which is
used by the travelling public and this
constitutes a remarkable feature of
the new building. Below the general
concourse, which is upon the same
level as the terrace upon which the
building rests, Is the suburban con
course, etch connected with a large
and commodious waiting rooms and
rest rooms on one side, with the lower
track levels on the other. There are
entrances for pedestrians on three
sides Of the building. for vehicles on
two sides and the lower levels are
connected by underground passages
with the various subway and street
railway systems centering around the
terminal. Passengers arriving at the
station will not be compelled to leave
the protection of the building to reach
any of the subway or other street
railway lines to take them to their
destinations

HOW TO REDUC
COST OF LIVING
Dry Leader Proposes What He De-
clares viii Be Practical Solu-
ton of Problem.

Convert your breweries into cold
storage plants and you will be taking
a long step toward solving the prob
lem of the high cost of living in West
Virginia" declared A. d. Williams, of
Marlinton, Father of the Prohibition
Amendent," and former member of
the house of delegates from Pocahon-
tas county, says in a statement to
the Wheeling News,
Mr.. Williams. who served in the
lower house during the 1909-1911 term
and by whom the amendment as il
finally passed, was largely written
and presented at the 1909 session of
the legislature, was one of the dry"
leaders in the recent campaign, in
which he took an active part as presi,
dent of the Laymen's association of
West Virginia. His plan for utilizing
the properties that would otherwise
go practically to waste is novel, but
appears practicable and worthy Of
consideration.
He says: III the different brew
cries OF the state are converted into
cold storage plants and the different
sections Of the country adjoining to
them are stimulated to produce sutl-
cient eggs, fruit and produce to take
care of the extra space created by the
abolition OF these properties as brew
cries, the new and legitimate trade
channels thus opened will give EN-,
ployment 10 more men than will be
thrown out by the change and at the
same time will be Of great advantage
to the state Of West Virginia by as
sisting in developing our agricultural,
horticultural and poultry possibilities,
and reduce materially the cost of liv-
ing in each Of the sections where the

Since the death of Virgil A. Lewis,

persons have been mentioned in con-
nection with the position. The most
prominent one is that of Frank p.

John NJ. SNODGRASS
TO co TO SIDNEY
Former West Virginia Newspaper
Man Gets Promotion from
President Taft.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The
President has sent to the Senate the
nomination OF John II. Snodgrass, of
West Virginia. to be consul-general at
Sydney. Australia. Mr.. Snodgrass
was appointed several years ago
from Wheeling, where he had been
engaged for several years in news
paper work.
He had also done newspaper work
in Parkersburg and Charleston and is
well known In the state. He is at
present ConsuIGeneral at Moscow,
Russia. His first appointment in the
consular service was as consul at Pre-
toria, South Africa, about the close OF
the Boer war when Pretoria was a
very important post. He was there a
few years, being SEN next to Kobe,
Japan. where he remained for about
two years. before being appointed
Consul-General for Russia with head.
quarters at Moscow. The appoint
ment to Sydney is practically a pro.
motion, as ii is a more desirable post
in every respect except that the sal
AIRY is the same.
Mr.. Snodgrass has a good record
and is regarded as one of the best
men in the consular service. His ap-
pointment to Australia is looked upon
as getting him a step closer to some
important post in western Europe,
which is regarded as the most desira-
bic part of the world for an American
consul to be in.

New Grand Central Terminal
Soon viii be Opened
WILL ACCOMMODATE
10000 PASSENGERS
When Completed It Will Represent
An Expenditure Of stso, ooo, oo--Pre
liminary Work Begun Several
Years Ago and Will Soon Be Com
pleted.
Special to The World.D

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The new
Grand Central Terminal, which, in a
few weeks, will take the place of the
old Grand Central Station OF the New
York Central and Hudson River Rail
road, is nearly completed and may be
considered IN the nature of a magnifi-
cent and princely holiday gift % the
city. When fully completed the sta
ton. with the additional improve.
ments in the form Of Office buildings,
hotels. etc. will represent a cost of
$3.50, 1000. II will be by far the
largest railroad terminal station in
the world and will be able TO accom-
modate without congestion 10000 out
going passengers per hour.
The gigantic work now almost com
pleted was begun in the spring of last
year and constitutes a remarkable
triumph of engineering skill and en-
terprise. II would have been a com
paratively simple matter to tear down
the old terminal station and the
building connected with IL and to
erect upon the same site the new
terminal with all its magnificent ON
comitants in the form of sky-scraper
hotels, office buildings, etc. had it
not been imperative to do the work
without interruption of or interior
ence with the traffic of the railway.
To replace the %antiquated structure
with a new one, however, without the
slightest Interference with the enor-
nous traffic ey~erlastingly going on at
this terminal required engineering
skill and ingenuity OF the highest or
der. The completion OF such a ire
mendous ta3k under the given condi-
tions would probably have been con
sidered impossible anywhere else.
The preliminary work was begun
several years ago, when part of the
passenger traffic was transferred to
a temporary station on Lexington
ant Then several of the auxil-
larry buildings and the office build
ing on Forty-second street were built
and the Grand Central Palace build.
ing. north of the terminal, begun
about three years ago., WaS completed.
The work on the terminal proper was
not begun until the spring of last
year, when the old terminal building
was torn down to make room for the
new structure, now almost completed.
In its outward appearance it is an
imposing structure. facing Forty-sec-
ond street and resembling more a pub
lie museum or library building than
q railroad terminal in its architect
ural beauty and magnificent proper
lions.
The terminal building is located on
the north side of Forty-second street,
between Vanderbilt avenue and De-
pew Place, rests upon a terrace ele-
waited above the level of the planes.
The structure, above the ground, has
a length OF coo feet, a width of 300
feet and rises to a height of 105 feet.
But only a small part of the entire
terminal structure is above ground.
