SOLID GROUND NEEDED.
Testing Foundation for Proposed
Heating and Lighting Plant.

Some question has been raised as to
whether a firm enough foundation can
be found on the wharf foot of 18th
street southwest to support the pro
posed new governmental heating and
lighting plant without making the
foundation a solid mass of piles and
concrete. The building itself will be a
large one, and heavy machinery will
fill IT, SO that a foundation is needed
that will not give an inch to the weight
to be placed on 1t. Out in the river in
front OF the wharf three seventy five
foot piles were driven. and while two
of them found solid bottom at a depth
Of about sixty feet one refused to take
up. showing the ground under 1t was
soft. Fifty-foot piles were used on land.
and those so far driven show soft
ground their entire length. Further
tests will be made with longer piles, in
an endeavor to ascertain beyond ques-
ton how far below the surface hard
bottom can be found.
The proposed site of the new heating
and lighting plant Is all reclaimed
ground. and. in the memory of men

Dwelling.

Seven horses belonging to Mrs. L. C.
Trumbo, 104 c street northw est, were

LOCAL MENTION.
Nothing Is Evil

There's no use finding fault, my
friends, if grief seems broken
loose: no matter what Dame
Fortune sends, she has good ex-
cuse. / suffered with four kinds
of govt. and raised a bitter wall,
until a neighbor pointed out that
druggists got my kale; the drug
gist is worthy gent. whose store
is span and spick; and could he
paw his tax and rent, if some one
wasn't sick? The snow that's in
my whiskerines. that cripples up
nv feet. should have a welcome,
for it means salvation to the
wheat. The rain keeps stopping
down all day, and spoils our peace
and glee. but it will cause new
bales of hay to grow on every
tree. The toothache gives my
Jaw a Jar, but if no toothache
came, the dentist could not keep
his car-he'd have to pawn the
same. It's foolishness to make a
fuss, il things seem gone awry::
the grief that makes you paw and
cuss, to some one else is pie. Just
think of that when you're inclined
to read the riot act; it's worth
while keeping it in mind. because
it is a fact. There's no such
thing as unnixed woe, though life
seems out of plumb; and all the
punk old winds that blow bring
happiness to some.
