downtown skyscraper In Kansas
City. But he has rivaled Aladdin
Of the wonderful lamp for all
that. He is q magician.
From the mahogany desk Mr..
Long has picked up silver pen
which IL like q fairy's wand.
With the wand he has touched q
piece Of paper and-io, 1000 miles
away city springs into exist
ence. At his bidding 1900 men
with machines which Guido the
noblest efforts OF the genii Of the
Arabian Nights are delving into
the earth and q magnificent city
il being erected.
The city is Longview, Wash.
And Longview 10 to be mag
nificent city. The city IL being
built primarily to serve the tim
Der tracts owned by the Long
Bell Lumber Company, but It
will no more resemble the ordi-
nary lumber town than Rome re-
sembled the muddy villages Of
Caesars Gaul.
What amount the Long-Bell
company will expend in the,ibuild-
ing OF Longview before the city
is Incorporated and turned over
to the populace is not known. but
1t is generally believed that, to-
gether with the cost Of the tim
Der lands already purchased, the
project win cost approximately
$4,000. 900.
The town has been planned by
some OF the best-known archi.
tects and city planners in the
United states. including J. g.
Nichols and George Kessler. OF
Kansas City. and no expense win
be spared In making the city pos
sibie Of ultimate beauty.
Lonkview is being built on the
general plan of washington.
D. c., with the civic center in the
actual center Of the city and all
the streets converging into It.
THE Long-BeI Lumber Com
pany is building Longview
for two purposes. First, because
it seems to be a good business in
vestment and will furnish a mill
town and headquarters for the
company's lumber i.dlstry on the
Pacific coast, and second, because
it will make an ideal home for
many OF the old employees OF the
company who were formerly en-
ployed in the company's lumber
tracts in the Southern States but
are now threatened with unem-
ployment through the depleted
timber supply in those States.
But the feature of Longview is
that, different from most cities, 1t
il being built with something def
mite. In mind and not growing up
merely by accident.
The Long.Bell Company which
now has $500 men employed in
laying out the town. paving the
streets, and putting in the general
municipal improvements, will re.
linquish control when the city ID
incorporated. but it will have given
the town q. better start toward
success than perhaps any other
American city ever enjoyed.
BY 1924 1t will have a popula-
ton Of from 5000 to 10000, and by
the time the mills are in full oper.
alton the population dependent
upon them alone will be about 49,
600. That Is what Mrs. Hayne
Ellis father Is doing-one of the
things.
MANY members of Washington
society remember the Hon. DR..
and Mrs. Pugsley-William Pugs-
ley. of New Brunswick. Canada,
who have paid many visits to
Washington In the last few years,
always staying at Wardman Park
Hotel. Mr.. Pugsley has been lieu

wick for some years now-lieuten-

same position as governor of a
State in this country. There is
