SOME SMOKESTACK.

The highest smokestack in the world
to-day is that of the B. & M. Smelter
of Great Falls, Montana. This CHM
ney is SOC feet high and 10000 tons of
brick were used in it's construction.
1t is constructed engineeringly to stand
a wind of 100 miles an hour. The
stack weighs 34,O00,0OO lbs. 267,OOO,OOO
eggs could be placed in the chimney.
1t would require a hen laying an egg
every day for 100000 years to supply
this number; or, if hen had started to
lay an egg when Adam was in the Gar
den of Eden 5000 B. c., it would have
the stack less than 1-100 part full now.
The Washington monument which
is so. feet square at the bottom and
20 feet square at the top, could be set
inside this chimney with out touching
any wall, and there would still be room
between the walls of the chimney
and the monument to drive span OF
horses from top to bottom. If rail
road tracks, of standard guage, were
laid vertically on the inside of the
stack about a ID feet center, there
would be room for IA railroad trains
500 feet long.

Resolutions were recently adopted

that permitting the state highway
commission to appropriate money to
aid cities of third class in the construc-
ton of bridges were rescinded at meet
ing held at St. Peter Monday afternoon
of last week which was attended by a
delegation of IS from Mankato and

of the two bills now before the Legis-
lature had been thoroly explained by
John H. Holman and other speakers
from the up-river towns, the opposi-
ton of st. Peter melted away and no
opposition will be made by them to
the passage of these two bills. If the
bills should become laws North Man
kato and the two cities will soon be
connected by bridge that will cost
approximately $4,000.

ST. PETER POST OFFICE SITE
SELECTED.

Last Monday morning announce
ment was made that Grantwell Davis,
site inspector for the Treasury De
partment had selected the quarter
block at the corner Of Third and Null
berry streets lying just north of the
German Catholic Church for st. Peters
proposed Federal Building. Regarded
from the viewpoint Of convenience to
the business district, the selection can
not be considered particularly popu-
lar one. The consideration to be paid
for the property is $1,000. The decision
of the inspector appeals to have dis
pleased a great majority Of the business
men and there has been some talk OF
lodging formal protest with the de
partment officials at Washington. So
far no action along this line has been
taken.
