PART OF HOTEL SENT
THROUGH THE MAILS

SPOKANE, June 18.-Six little
bits of steel, each six inches long
and three-eights of an inch thick,
and each carefully wrapped in It's
sue paper and tied with pink and
blue baby ribbon, constituted the
first shipment of reinforcing steel
received from a Seattle steel COM
pany for use in the 100000 Daven-
port hotel being built in Spokane.
With the shipment, which came
by parcel post, was a formal in
voice and the contract price for the
material, amounting to .0273 dollars.
The engineering company in charge
of the hotel construction accepted
the invoice, deducted the customary
one-half of one per cent discount
for immediate payment, and remit
ted by check the sum of .272635 dol
lars, the most unusual check ever
drawn in Spokane The small piec-
es of steel are to be used in one
of the beams on the third floor of
the history hotel.

3-STORY SUBWAY CARS
PREDICTED IN GOTHAM

NEW YORK, June lo.-New
York's street cars, like its buildings,
are evidently destined to be OF the
skyscraper variety Having tried
two-story street cars it is now pre-
dicted that the city must come to
the triple-decker particularly for use
IN its subways.
The reason for this expert opin-
ion is based on the belief that even
with the completion of the projected
extensions the subway will have
reached its capacity in another ten
years. To serve the great longest
ed traffic produced by the downtown
skyscrapers lengthening the track is
impossible and broadening the track
age is prohibitively expensive be-
cause OF the enormous downtown
real estate values. In other words,
New Yorks street cars will have to
do just what its buildings have done;
that is, become skyscrapers. A
three-tier car served by three levels
or platforms below the street may
at first seem a bit remarkable, but
no more so than the first elevation
or subway line when they were pro-
posed
The triple decker car can be con-
structed with the end and center
doors the same as used on the ordi-
nary subway cars now. Drawings
and specifications of cars containing
many more doors than these were
submitted to the Public Service
Commission by a special consulting
engineer FIVE years ago and their
adoption recommended. In the spe-
cihcations IT was pointed out that
multiple door cars are used success
fully in the West and that by means
OF an ingenious electrical attachment
the motorman receives the signal to
start the instant every door of r.
train is closed and not before.
Adopting this attachment will make
safe the entire three decks or stories
of the proposed car. Not until all
are closed will the train of big
coaches start, thus insuring safety at
this very important stage OF transit |
In addition 10 their other advantag-
es it is pointed out that the cost of |
operating a triple decker train will |
be much less than that of operating |
three separate trains on three seper-
ate levels. Altogether it appears that
New York's subways like its Office
buildings will shortly have to begin
TO extend vertically instead of later
ally.

SCHOOL MODELS ARE
SENT BY PARCEL POST

WASHINGTON. June l8.-Send-
ing cardboard models of schoolhous-
es by parcel post is the latest device
of the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation for arousing interest in at
tractive school buildings at low cost
for rural communities. The mod
els are made to fold fiat and are
shipped by mail to local authorities,
normal schools, and other agencies,
for use during a limited period. A
number have already been sent to
points in the West and Southwest
Models for one. two, and four
room schools are provided. The
buildings are planned especially for
rural communities where low cost
is the first essential. They represent
the very latest ideas in school archi-
lecture; they are unusually attractive
to look at; they are up TO the min
ute in hygienic arrangements; yet
they are within the means of the
smallest communities.
The buildings were designed by
DR.. F. B. Dresslar, specialist in
school hygiene of the Bureau OF
Education, and then worked over by
two well-known firms OF school ar
chitects, Cooper & Bailey, of Boston
and w B. Ittner, of St. Louis. The
models show all the details, within
and without, and they are construct
ed to scale. Full directions accom-

GREATEST CATCH SINCE

NEW YORK, June THE big
gest fish story of the year, if not the
biggest since the days of Jonah, has
just come to light here with the
arrival of a twentv ton inhabitant
of southern waters which will short
ly be placed on exhibition.
II is indeed unique among fish, for
IT is unknown to science and follow
ers of Isaac Walton who visit this
city will soon have an opportunity to
attempt to identify this twenty ton
monster. the classification of which
has so far baffled science. All 9TH
er stories of big catches shrink into
insignihcance when compared to
that of this 10000 pound monster.
which did not get away, and arriv-
ed from the South on a coastwise
steamer.
The particulars of the catch, which
are thoroughly vouched for, state
that 1t was captured after a thirty
nine hour fight in which FIVE har-
poems and Isl bullets were used. II
required five days to kill it. 1t
towed a thirty ton yacht sometimes
as fast as forty-five miles an hour.
1t is forty-hve feet long. 1t has
several thousand teeth. 1t has no
scales, but has hide three inches
thick. Other piscatorial exhibits

many rare specimens, which have
just arrived. By far the most i'm
portant are the sea elephants and
sea leopards, the latter being an ex-
tremely gamey fish and particular
ly vicious when attacked. OF course
these two will have to take second
place to the nameiess ieviathan. AL !

Anyone who is able to identify this
new fish will be joyfully hailed by
