Excavation has been finished, the
building of forms for foundation
walls has been begun, and soon the
actual building of the club house at
Elmwood Country Club will be start
ed. Rainy weather has greatly delay
ed the work.
Estimated TO cost 100000, changes
that have been made in the plans
since they were accepted, are ex-
pected to bring the final cost up to
$4,000. An adaptation or old English
style of architecture. the building
was designed of sufficient size to
make commodious quarters for the
nearly 800 club members for
many years. The building will
contain all the essential features of
modern club houses of its kind and
viii ornament one of the most com
handing and attractive building sites
near the city.
Built in Three Parts.
For purposes OF convenience the
building was designed in three parts
one of them practically detached
from the other two, which. In effect.
are combined in one building.
In the illustration. which shows
the south elevation of the building.
the central. or main portion Of the
club house, is clearly defined. The
sabled porches at opposite ends. and
the smaller entrances between. adj

building. The first floor is divided
into a main room. to be used for
dancing and other large gatherings,
30X62 feet, dining room, opening
from the east end OF the main room,
l6X30, and smaller rooms for the
women, which are closely connected
with the women's locker room stairs

Porches Are Features.

ForCneS Are Features.
Special attention has been given
to provide very large porches Of
which there are no less than three.
All are to be enclosed with copper
wire. Two are shown in the illustra-
ton. they being the large gabled
porches near both ends of the main
portion of the building. Each of these
Is II 90 feet. Connecting them is
a paved court 16 feet wide at the
foundation level of the building.
Along the entire north side of the
club house. that overlooks the valley
beyond and all the extreme western
part of the city. is the main porch
IA X So feet. Near its western end is
u porte cochere over the drive that
encircles the entire building.
Single and Plaster Finish.
The sides and roof Of the building
will be singled. the shingles being
first dipped in stain and a second
coat brushed in later. All the gables
will be plaster. beam trimmed, q
characteristic detail OF old English
architecture.
The squat and long features are
other details OF the same style of
architecture Since the plans were
accepted notifications have been
made. among them the foundation of
the building has raised higher.
Wooden floor joist and floors have
been substituted for concrete in the
locker rooms and porches. which
originally were designed to be built

CASE UNDER AMUSEMENT,
Judge Willett to Decide Home Case
at Later Date.


Argument by counsel on the
motion to dissolve the temporary in
junction issued in district court al
week ago against Commandment b.
G. Whitehill on petition of c. p.
Mars. member of the home. was
heard Monday by Judge j. w. Willett
and the case was taken under ad-
visement. No time was set for the
decision of the court. A restraining
order to prevent his compulsory fur
Tough from the home was secured
by Mars, and motion for the disso-
luton of this writ was made for
Commandant Whitehill, and the
state. and it was on this motion that
Mondays hearing was called.
The jurisdiction of the district
court over matter involving rules
of the soldiers home, it's cominan-
dant and one of its members. was the
main question at issue. it being
argued that the state board of con-
troll is the governing body and that
any charges filed by a member
against an officer of the home should
have been filed with the board. The
complaint. it was contended. had re-
course to the court of equity only
when the state board of control had
held against him and for the officer.
The right OF an American citizen
to object to treatment of officers OF
the home. and his right. as mem
Der, to take or refuse to take n fur
Tough, unless compelled to do so be-
cause of fragrant attractions OF
rules Of the institution. and hts
right to go into court with his griev-
ances to defend his position as n
member of the home were argu-
ments OF counsel for Mars.

The daily newspapers are strangely
divided On the proposition. The News
Tribune, it is believed, will strongly
oppose the ordinance, while the Her.
aid gives promise Of supporting it,
that is. If one can Judge from the
color Of its reports on the proposition.
The city charter provides for a
four-fifths favorable vote of all the
members of. the council to grant or
amend a franchise. A majority vote
may submit a proposition Bearing on
a franchise to the people.

Necessity for. 12:Aour Day no
Longer Exists; Advises Steel.
Trust to Change.

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-The eco
nomic necessity for a. 12-hour day
no longer exists and now is the time
With a surplus of labor, for steel
plants to change to three shifts, said
Horace B. Drury, economist, before a
meeting of engineers and technicians.
Mr.. Drury said the expense of
changing from a 12-hour to an S-hour
shift would be slight, and that II the
entire steel industry-blast furnaces,
steel works and rolling mills-went
on three shifts, without any increase
in efficiency. it could not add more
than per cent to the total cost of
making the finished steel product.
Some of the 20 American companies
that have adopted the three-shift sys-
tenn in the last few years have made
no great change in operating methods,
he said, and accordingly costs are
somewhat higher than before the
change. But others have taken ad-
vantage Of the new system to cut out
unnecessary positions, strive for a
greater output and to require greater
care on the part Of the men. The
result has been that costs are but little
higher than under the old plan. Some
Of the largest companies, the speaker
said, have increased their labor force
only 80 to IS per cent in putting on
the extra shift.
\ Mr.. Drury added that the human
and civic values involved in changing
from IL to hours work are more
important than the financial and op-
Grating difficulties Of the change.
