THE LARGEST BRICK

THE Pension Office Building, Wash
L ington, D. c., is often referred to
as the largest brick building in the
world. That statement is easy to be-
lieve when one Learns that 15,50O,-
coo bricks were used in its cOnstruc-
ton. Il is fCur stories high, exclusive
of the basement, 400 feet long, 200
feet wide and contains 10 rooms.
The court contains eight columns,
each eight feet in diameter at the base
and 70 feet high. Each column con-
tains more than $1,000 bricks and
LAC square feet of plaster, all beauti-
fully colored in representation of
many historical n
First occupied during the year 1885,
this building was constructed as a
memorial to the brave soldiers and
sailors who had so we'll served their
country during the Civil War, as well
as to house the employees and records
of the Pension Bureau.
The corridor accommodates $4,000
people and it is here that the pres
idential inaugural balls have been
held.
Precious indeed are the records which
are filed away in this great structure.
In passing, it is interesting to note
that the report of the commissioner
in charge for a recent year, shows
74S,147 pensioners on Uncle Sans pay
roll and the total disbursement as
more than $1G5,0 200, 900.

to penetrate this region was
Jean Nicollet. who vas sent out
In 1884 by Champlain to open
trade with the Indians. He
landed at Green Bay and prob
ably traversed the country to
Chicago. Fur traders and mis-
sionaries followed and the latter
built a mission where Ashland
now stands. This was the first
church erected in the state and
around it sprang up the first
permanent settlement. Joliet
and Father Marquette descended
the Wisconsin river, and La
Sale explored & great deal of
Wisconsin before he took his
famous trip down the MISSISSIPPI
pi. Among the fur traders to
come to Wisconsin shores was
Daniel du Lhut, after whom the
city Of Duluth, Mimi, was
named.
During the Revolution Wiscon-
sin remained loyal to the Brit

came a part of the United
States by the Treaty of Paris in
1888, it was not until 1916 that
federal troops really established
authority there. Indian upris-

1886, with the exception of nine
years, when it was considered
a part of Illinois territory. With
the admission of Michigan as a
state, the Wisconsin territory
was created, which included al

and Minnesota and portions of
North and South Dakota.
In 1913 Wisconsin was taken
into the Union as the thirtieth
state. It's area is 56,06G square

shots.
The men abandoned the car af-
ter the officers had poured num-
ber of shots into 1t, and were be-

ARTESlA IRRIGATION
DAM WILL BE REBUILT

Especial Correspondence TO The journal J
Artesia, N. NJ, Dec. 14.-The irrl-
CATION dam, which was washed
away during the heavy flood per-
liod about the first Of July, will be
rebuilt across the Cottonwood, a
small rivulet north Of Artesia. This
dam, before 1t was destroyed,
stored a sufficient amount of wat
err to irrigate several hundred acres
of very fertile alfalfa lands. The
shortage of water has hindered the
production to the property owners
to a great extent.
The cost of the reconstruction OF
this project will be about $5,OOo
TO the water users. A stronger
dam will be built than the old one,
and it will resist the great pres
sure of the high waters. A thiek
wall of reinforced cement Will pe
constructed with large concrete
braces, buried at great depth
in the river ped. A large. reen-
forced spillway will be constructed
to take care of the surplus water.
Judge Deoring and eileen o'Ban-
non are among the directors or the
project and are in charge of the
work, which will be started soon.
The project will be ready for use
in the early spring.

Especial Correspondence to The journal

much feared epidemic Of diphtheria
has been checked by the united
effort of the city health officer,
city physicians and the public
school authorities. Several cases
were reported last week, but only
two cases are now being treated.
The school children were innocu-
lated during the past week against
this disease. This one step has
been a great factor in the checking
of the feared epidemic. All school
children who have not been vac
cinated or those who should be
vaccinated again, were vaccinated
during the past week as a preven-
tative against smallpox.
The public schools have been
very fortunate in the, small num-
Der Of absentees due to illness. The
average attendance has been larger

SHEEP MEN WILL
HOLD 1922 NEE 7
IN ALBUQUERQUE
Executive Board Names
Committee to Confer With
State Tax Commission
Regarding Tax Valuations

The 1922 annual convention of
the New Mexico Wool Growers
association will be held in Albu
querque next spring instead of in
Roswell. This decision was made
yesterday at the meeting of the
executive board of the association
at the offices of the secretary in
the chamber of commerce building.
The exact dates for the convention
could not be determined, as it is
not yet known what dates other
states have selected and in order
to obtain speakers from the ma
tional association, it is necessary
that conventions do not coincide.
1t was decided to send a COM
mittee to attend the state tax COM
mission meeting at Santa Fe De-
cember 10. At this time the valu-
alton on state and grazing lands
and livestock will be fixed for 1922.
"The purpose of sending this
committee to interview the tax
commission Is not that the wool
growers desire special privileges"
one of the executive board menu
bers stated yesterday. "But we
feel that stock interests should not
be taxed beyond their earning
power. Present taxes, we believe,
will result in return to the state
of leased lands and in their being
idle, for If old men at the bust
ness can not make money out Of
them, it is not to be expected that
newcomers. will have courage to
try"
The committee which will go to
santa Fe consists Of Prayer Miller,
