New S. P. Bldg. Is
Immense Structure

The new Southern Pacific build
ing in San Francisco, the largest Of
flee structure west Of Chicago, is 92
per cent complete, and arrangements
are being made for its occupancy.
One of the first items in the furnish
ing process calls for the laying OF
$4,000 yards of linoleum which came
from New York in 25S cases, the
largest shipment Of that commodity
to be dispatched to any one custo-
mer
The task of moving the Southern
Pacifics staff Of $500 officials and
employees from the Flood building to
the new Industrial palace at the foot
of Market street without interrupt
ing the course of business presents
many perplexities. It is expected that
one department at a time will OBJ
serve moving day.
Among the many ultra-modern ap-
pliances which make the new office
structure a model of its kind is a
pneumatic tube delivery system mod
eled on the lines of telephone ex-
change. If clerk in the department
of freight accounts desires to refer
way bill to a special accountant
four floors above him, instead Of
summoning an office boy. he puts the
way bill in mailing carrier, dis
patches it to central, and the latter
after glancing at the destination
shown on the Indicator, shoots it to
the proper office, all in the space Of
few seconds.
An unusual ventilating system, the
largest private telephone switchboard
in the west, and an automatic fire
extinguishing device in every room
are other features of the new build
ing. itI
All coast construction records were
broken in the erection of this build
ing which now seems likely TO be oc-
cupied a year after the ground was
broken.

New Work for the Red Cross.

The latest and most novel phase of
Red Cross activity has been helping
to make France smile again by bind
ing up her wounded orchard trees.
When the Germans retreated from
French soil they cut down all the
trees possible, but when the French
pressed them so hard that they had
not time to cut fruit tree down,
they pared off a circle Of bark around
the trunk Of the tree, which with
few days exposure to the sun would
be sufficient to kill peach, plum, ap-
pie, apricot and cherry trees. The
wounds Of such trees we're bound up
like the wounds of soldiers by thou
sands Of army surgeons and Red
Cross ambulance drivers and stretch
er bearers. The circle where the
bark had been pared away was cov-
cred with a grating cement and then
bandaged up, often with the same
bandages that had been prepared for
human limbs.

Eccentric Place Names.

There are enc or two place names
In England which for eccentricity it
would be hard to beat. Cornwall
boasts of village called DNnkards
All and of a tithing called London Ap-
prentice. The name Of another Cor
nish village, Grumzia. sounds worse
when spoken than 1t looks in print.
The same may he said Of the neighbor-
ing village Of St. Eval, which is pro-
nounced "Sandeyal." Bishop Philpotts
asked a candidate for ordination where
he came from. "St. Eval." was the re-
ply. Dear me-" remarked the bishop,

Frances Wilson .Huard, which is Of
special interest to all Red Cross
workers This chapter from the act

woman, whose French husbands
country house is situated only few
miles from the Marine, is not only
more thrilling than any romance but
1t also, incidentally, shows the magi-

by Red Cross armlet, when worn
by resourceful woman with brave
heart. This book is recent impor-
tation of our own Ashland library,

Autos Replace Horse
On Local Delivery

That the creak of the wagon will
be supplanted by the honk OF the
auto is the plan of the owners of the
local grocery store delivery system
Bert Dennis, driver of one of the
wagons who 1t is thought is interest
ed in the change, refuses to talk on
the matter. However, it has been
learned through a reliable source
that the five teams now engaged in
the service will be discontinued the
first Of October and that three Ford
auto trucks will take their place.
The change is probably brought
about by the high cost Of feed and
the slower, more inefficient methods
of the team delivery system.

Red Cross Hospital Supplies.

Having last week described a base
hospital, its size, its staff and its gem
eral equipment, practical workers
may like to know Just what articles
are listed officially by the Red Cross
under the head of hospital supplies.
In class A there are surgical dress
ings of four varieties made of gauze;
in class B there are seven distinct
kinds Of bandages, some Of muslin,
some of flannel and some of crino-
line; oakum pads and splnt pillows
are placed under this same section Of
the work. Hospital linen, including
sheets, napkins, towels. pillow cases,
wash cloths and hot water bag COW
ers, belong in a class by themselves;
operating room linen with its special
gowns, caps, leggings sheets and tow
els being In separate division. Pa
tients clothing, phase Of the work

The big shipments of peaches, to-
matoes, apples, plums and butter re-
ceived last week met with the usual
hearty reception. The 1st company
mess, with it's abundance of fresh
fruit, is envied by all the nearby
companies. The folks at home can
hardly realize the assistance which
they are rendering. Fruit is scarce
and high down here. Some idea of
the prices paid may be gained from
the fact that watermelons-even lit
tie scrawny melons such as we would
feed to the pigs at home-have never
gone below cents pound at Ham

The loving cup, the trophy of the
