ELkGS FEDERAL BUILDING

Reports have been circulated in
Elko that Congressman Roberts
bill for a federal building in Elko
had passed the house and was dying
in the senate because of the lack
of interest Of Senator Newlands
and Pittman. That these reports
are false is clearly shown in the
following letter from Senator Pitt
man to Hon. George Russell who
wrote to u senators in regard to
the bill:

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM

President Wilson informs the
60 'ernor of Colorado, in effect that
Federal troops will soon be with
drawn from his state, and that the
state authorities must maintain
order there. That is right under
our plan of government but the
fact remains and experience en-
phasizes it, that in times of dis
order in a state a thousand federal
soldiers a do more than three
thousand state militia. The reasons
are manifest enough: Many a
ruffian is ready enough to commit
crimes and take his chances of be-
ing caught by state authorities and
tried in the state courts. who will
hesitate before the prospect of ar
rest and q trial by court-martial.
There is no ~foolishness about
such a trial; no quibbling over de-
tails; no jury to be impressed by
the old i%nsistence that if a juror
has any reasonable doubt, the pris-
oner must have the benefit OF it: no
new trial On a technicality and no
concealed fear of a jury man that
if the man before him is convicted,
the juror may suffer violence from
the prisoners friends. Neither are
there any long delays. Neither
will manufactured testimony be
prepared.
Some years ago there was a min
ing excitement in British Column
bia, just over the line north of Spo-
kane.
A thousand toughs from a dozen
,scities and Il hundred camps made
a rush for the new district. But
the last mothers son of them left
their weapons on this side of the
line. And it vas simply because
they knew if they committed any
deViltry in British Columbia the
chances were two to one that they
would be promptly caught, prompt
~ put on trial; that the trial would
be on its merits and if convicted
prompt punishment would follow.
The absence uf that certain treat
ment is what has enabled worthless
men to keep Colorado a place of
unrest most of the time for the
past fifteen years.
The vicious element does not fear
the state officers, for their con-
federates are everywhere; the arm
Of the militia is benumbed, and
when a known criminal is arraign-
ed. the trial is often made a farce
by manufactured evidence, by weak
and timid jurors, by technicalities
urged by attorneys of either of a
dozen other causes. The whole sys-
tenn should be recreated.-Good-

priations Of a bill introduced by
Congressman Roberts in the House,
providing for an appropriation for
a federal building at ElEo. The
bill is not in the Senate Committee
on Appropriations. and in fact has
never reached the Senate. It was
introduced by Mr.. Roberts April
10, 1913, since which time nothing
has been done with H. that l am
able to ascertain. 1t has not been
reported even out of the Commit
tee or Public Buildings of the
House Of Representatives, to which
il "as referred. 1t is not Necessary
to say that it could not pass the
House until it had been reported
out of the Committee.
l had knowledge of the introduc-
ton of this bill at the time it was
introduced, and imagined that l
might get quicker action by waiting
for the passage of the bill through
the House and then supporting it
in the Senate. Circumstances have
led me to believe that was mis-
taken in this and that probably the
matter could be FASTENED by the
introduction of a bill in the Senate,
which l shall take pleasure in do
ing.
l feel it my duty, however. to
say frankly to you and other citi-
Gems Of Elko that there is little
chance of passing the bill or any
other bill of similar character this
late in the session. Even the bills
that have been pending for months
of such a character this late in the
session r being set aside by reason
Of the fact that all of the time of
Congress is being taken up by the
consideration of party measures,
such as appropriation bills that
have already been reported, trust
legislation, the Panama Canal Tolls
bill and similar matters. Mem
oers of the Senate and House of
Representatives, and es oecially
those who have a campaign before
hem are becoming restless at re-
naming longer in Washington
and with the desire for an early ad-
journment are refusing to consider
anything but pending matters and
then only those of national import
ance. With such a sentiment pre-
9ailing in Congress the diff Of
passing any local measures must
occur to you.
Senator Newlands has been con-
stantly engaged for months in con-
Quoting hearings before the Inter-
state Commerce Committee and in
formulating trust legislation and

WILD ANIMALS BARRED.
Mocking Birds Also Prohibited in
New York Apartments.

1t is not likely that a New York FAM
lily will be discovered with a mocking
bird or a wild animal sharing its home.
and perhaps there are none that have
such an appendage, but should there be
such, and that family have intentiC1s
of taking up an abode in an apartment
house, they will have to look sharply to
the lease the renting agent gives them to
sign, warns the New York Evening Post.
Some owners would not object to have
their other tenants rub elbows in the
elevators with family that has a
hooking bird, but they are certain TO
object TO renting to family that har-
bors wild animal
There are several first-class apart
ment houses. and there may perhaps
be hundreds of them in this city which
have house rules and regulations gov
erning their daily life that include a
prohibition of the keeping of dogs and
cats. but a lease with a clause that
adds to the prohibitory class hooking
birds, wild or domestic animals of any
sort. under the penalty of forfeiture
of the lease at the option of the lessor
is believed to be an innovation in the
framing of apartment leases. which. as
many have found out. are complex
enough without having any more frills
added thereto.

the concrete was soft, a section of two
inch pipe. The two timber supports for
the flower screen We're inserted in these
pipes and proper cross pieces attached
from top to bottom After serving this
purpose throughout the summer the sup
ports came into play in other convenient
ways. one of them being used as base
for a Christmas tree. and on another
occasion it was called into service on
the lawn as support for large sun
shade
A mixture consisting of one part Port
land cement, two parts clean, sharp sand
and four parts crushed stone would make
strong and dense concrete. The CON
crete should be used at once after mix
ing and be given ample opportunity to
cure thoroughly. which would require
from a week to ten days In the mean
time it should be kept out of the Rot
sun and wind and should he sprink,ed
daily. The forms in which slabs or posts
are cast should have simple locking de-
vice and hinges to facilitate removal
after the concrete has set.
The purpose in adopting concrete rather
than lumber would be to eliminate all
outlay for renewals and repairs. such as
are essential when wood is used. Time
and exposure to the elements increase
the strength Of concrete, and hence for
the various devices specified it would
serve the purpose as long as required.

SLOTTED FOUNDATION
PREVENTS DAMPNESS
Novel Means of Insulating Devised
by German En-
gineer.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
The modern builder thoroughly appre-
ciates the Importance OF waterproofing
foundation walls to prevent dampness
from creeping into them and injuring
them. Accordingly. 1t IS the custom to
protect the foundation walls with a good
coating of asphalt or the like. However.
there are many buildings, particularly in
the older countries. in which no such
provision against the entrance Of damp
ness and frost was made. In order to
preserve these buildings, a method of in
sulating them against dampness has been
devised by a German engineer. 1t con-
sists in saving a slot in the foundation
wall just above the ground line and in
Producing in the slot asphalt-coated lead
plates. special machine has been de-
signed to saw the masonry, producing a
| kerr about one inch wide. AS the work
| Is done progressively, the plates being in
| PRODUCED as the saving proceeds. the sta
bility of the building is not endangered.
However, to prevent any possible acci-
dent, conical iron cramps are introduced
| in the saw kerf. After the introduction
of the insulating plates the slots are
closed with temporary wooden forms and
then they are grouted with liquid cement
which completely fills them and any gaps
still left open. The cement adds to the
| insulation. and the wall is thus thorough
ly protected against creeping of mois-
ture from the ground upward. To dry
out the walls over the insulating plates Q

CHURCH BUILT FROM TREE.
The Interior Finishings Are of Same
Giant Redwood

In Santa Rosa, Cal, is Baptist church
building. the product of a single giant
redwood tree which grew in the neigh
borhood of Guernevlle. few miles dis
tant from where it now stands
Not only is the main structure built
from the one tree. says the Christian
Herald. but the interior finshings-ex-
cept the floor. which is of pine-are of
the same wood. beams. pulpit and seat
ings. not particle of plaster or other
similar material being used in this re-
markabl building.
The tree when sawed yielded 5000 feet
of lumber. and after the building was
finished in every particular enough ma
terial was left to manufacture several
thousand shingles. besides a quantity of
scantlings, joists and other dimension
stuff.
So carefully We're the details planned,
and SO skillfully was the framework put
together. that the builders of this one
tree church declared it might be as en-
during as the old Saxon churches of Eng
land built centuries ago out of native
timber and still in use. 1t is Gothic in
style, finished beams inside.

twenty years ago tract about three
quarters of mile west of the avenue
was thrown open for development.
Streets We're graded and shade trees
planted but there was practically no
home building. The continuation of Mas
sachusetts avenue and the extension OF
the new car line will mean much for
this property. as it fronts on the line of
the new improvements.
The point where the extension of Mas
sachusetts avenue intersects the District
line is considerably higher than the ter
ritory Immediately east of il. The avenue
ends on a high plateau, which is one of
the most attractive sections in that To-
cality. 1t is understood that some day
the electric line may be extended into
Maryland in order to provide transporta-
ton facilities for the country lying to
the west of the terminus of the avenue.
Should such an extension be made the
line probably would connect with the

of Glen Echo
