no doubt the raise in wages would

many years. It was hard sometimes,
for he was only raised few cents in
wages every year, and he saw men

had as much brains as these lucky
ones.
At such times, however, Joe remem-

knew he was loyal to the company,

Joe had to be thrifty, nd even then
he was continually having to borrow

from a burning single mill, and
in half hour reduced it to ashes.
This splendid plant. the larg-

ranged and equipped structure of
its kind in the world, covered ov-
err 10 acres of land. 1t cost APP
proximately 100000. However
it was insured or about S350000,
and general manager o. M. Plum
mer states positively that the Elk
position will be held November ]

that already assurances are com.
ing from every quarter Of the
compass of aid and entries of live
stock. He says:
"The exposition will be larger
bigger and better than ever. Ma
turally. all our plans have not
been completed, but we expect to
rebuild and work will commence
at once. The Pacific Information
al Live Stock Exposition is so
solidly founded and so important
an institution that even a great
blow such as this cannot halt its
growth and progress.
The new building which will
take the place of the one just
destroyed will follow the same
plan. so admirable did that plan
prove to be. The amphitheatrc
probably will be even somewhat
larger, but the general conStruc-
ton will be the same as before
