building | COSTS
Both Contractors and
Union Men Working
Toward Same End

Coincident with the meeting OF
the Fairmont builders exchange
last eyening, when the employers
reported that there were sufficient
men working TO keep construction
work IN the city under way, a meet.
ing Of the building trades council
WAS held! At the meeting OF the
union workers, which was held In
the Labor temple, committee o.
Is was appointed to formulate plans
for the organization Of a building
and construction company.
The action Of the union men In
deciding upon the organization OF
d construction company, 1t was ex.
planned, had been brought about by
the refusal Of the employing con.
tractors TO recognize the loca
unions In wage negotiations, which
resulted in What the employers re.
gard as strike and what the union
men term a lockout.
In an explanation OF the reduc.
ton OF the wages Of their employees,
the contractors recently pointed out
that the action had been made nee.
essary by the high building costs
In Fairmont. Under the now
scales, the added construction costs
would be materially reduced.
The object of the building trades
council in going into the general
contracting business, It is claimed,
IS also to reduce construction
costs.

Trees Slow DEVELOPMENT.

The slow development Of the trunks
of certain trees at once calls up i'm
ages Of immobility and eternity. The
dragons blood tree Of the Canaries
awakens such thoughts. Thrice ia
nous for its strange looks, it's vast
size and its antiquity, this dragons
blood tree is equally so for the sta
tionary condition of its growth. In
the legend of Teneriffe we are told
that this singular tree was worshiped
by the Guanches, it's original inhabi-
tants; and it is related that in the
Fifteenth century mass was celebrat-
ed In the interior Of it's trunk, fact
even lately attested by the vestiges
which were seen of a little altar.
This tree grows so slowly that af-
ter a tolerably long interval of time
1t was not possible to verify any
change in its circumference.

Elephants on Rampage.

Stories Of how an elephant occasion
ally upsets a circus are not uncom-
mon, but one rarely hears of an orgy
Of destruction like that which oc-
CURED In the Malay peninsula. A herd
of wild elephants attacked a railway
station, pulling down the stationmas-
ter's kitchen and bathroom. They did
the same to the clerks quarters and
then tackled the station while the Of
flee force looked on from trees. One
elephant took Off an automatic weigh
ing machine as a souvenir OF the raid,
but finding 1t heavy, threw it down on
the track. One of the elephants
trumpeted the recall and they all went
back into the jungle except one who
fell In well and had to be got out by
human aid, but was not detained.
By the time help arrived after gen.
eral telegraphic alarm the huge beasts
had entirely disappeared.

TAKES HIGH RANK AS CRITIC
Friend Paid Tribute to James Hume
ker's Virtues as Writer-Fear-
less and Stimulating.

If one were to choose one word that
was to sum up all of Huneker's vir-
tues, one would say that he was re-
freshing, writes Norman T. Byrne in
Scribner's. He was an inestimable
breath of fresh air that deranged the
musty rooms of a criticism grown
didactic and lifeless. Life and vigor
were typified by his style-a sheen Of
sparkling phrases set in rhythmical
prose that borrowed much from his
musical training
He was well versed in the seven
arts, and If his knowledge Of some of
them was not always profound, his
love of them was sincere, and the
manner in which he criticized each
one in terms of the other Is a contin-
ued delight to his reader. His taste,
entirely European in character, was
rarely at fault. He was taken in by
some things that were ephemeral, yet
he rarely failed to notice each rising
star Of genius. His defense was fear
less and his article always stimulat-
ing. Never didactic, never pedantic, If
he was found wanting in philosophical
ballast he did possess that sense Of
esthetic value that the scholar too
