Moving Goes Without a
 Hitch
 With the big Sunday paper out | early, thanks to the untiring efforts of | every member of the mechanical de- partments Saturday night. The Repub- | lican yesterday took the second step | in moving to its new home in the Heard building on North Central ave- l nue from the old quarters at Second | and Adams streets. The departments l moved yesterday were the composing | and steretotyping rooms. and that it was possible to move both complete in | a single day was due entirely to the | men who worked at high speed yes terday in the moving itself and the night before in getting the biggest paper of the week cut of the way at an early hour.
 As the press and mail rooms were moved some weeks ago, this morning s issue of The Republican is prepared entirely. mechanically, in the papers fine new home. Every mechanical op- eration from setting up the type to taking the papers off the press here after will be performed in the new quarters. The final steps in the nov ing of The Republican will take place in a few weeks. the news and business office departments still being in the old building.
 Saturday night every member of the composing room and steretotyping staffs worked at high speed to get out the Sunday paper early that moving might begin at once. and by 1:30 o'clock every form had passed through the composing and stereotyping rooms. Only the actual press work remained, and the way was clear to begin trans ferring the tons of mechanical depart ment equipment to the new building.
 Got Early Start
 When work on the Sunday morning paper ceased. the mechanical depart ment took charge of the moving opera tions. under the general supervision of Charles Wallace. composing room fore man. Fred Mover. machinist. and his assistant. Ben Estes. with others Work progressed rapidly. and the en- tire battery of six linotype machines was moved. a seventh linotype. a new enc. having been erected in the new quarters direct from the factory, and an eighth machine, the monotype, moved some time ago. Not only was the linotype battery moved. but with it all the other pieces of composing room equipment. hundreds of type cases. cuts and bases. cabinets, saws, forms, imposing stones. trucks. etc. Meanwhile the stereouyping depart ment also had begun moving opera i tions as soon as the Sunday paper was out of the way. and there too work | was fast. under the direction of Oscar Johnson. the foreman. his assistants. and Mir. Karlson. Grand avenue ma ! chinist. The molding machines. the steam table, the big saw trimmer, and | the other pieces of machinery were quickly prepared for moving. and by | 3:30 the stereotype department was ready for loading. By 7:30 the three or four big truck loads of equipment had been taken up the elevator to the 1 second floor of the new building and ! the machines were being put in place
 The magnitude of the task of nov ing the composing and sterotyping de- partments will be readily understood when it is remembered that the heavy machines had to be dismatled. got out of the basement of the old building to the trucks, hauled to the new building, and taken on the elevator there to the second floor, where The Republican's mechanical departments are housed fin the finest quarters of the kind in the state. Scores of heavy pieces of ma chinery were moved without a hitch the linotype machines. for instance
 weighing from 5000 to 1000 pound. each.
 Did Fast Work
 By 6 o'clock yesterday morning the linotype machines had been dismantled and raised on skids ready for moving
 and at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after. noon the last machine was put in place
 in the new composing room, with tn,
 others ready for operation. At tn,
 same time the last load of equipmen
 was being delivered. Men of The Republicans mechanical departments were enthusiastic |,
 praise of the splendid work of tn, : Lightning Delivery company. whicl did all the transfer work Throughout the moving operations not an acciden } or mishap of any kind occurred
 While the moving was being don, ] The Republican had an electrical crev ? from the New States Electric company under Foreman Davis, at work in th,
 new quarters. and a plumbing crev from the D. S. Horrall company unde Foreman Cummings.
