Main Wing, T1Uenty-Five Years in the
Building, Has Had Checkered Career.
Central Portion Is Said to Be the Most
SatistymgJ Harmonious Building in the
WOrId

edifice of any kind in the world" declared
Emmett A. Steece construction engineer in
charge for the Department of the Treasury 1T
has the most correct proportions and best setting
of any building in the world. Its pleasing har-
mony Of proportions provides the spectator with
the satisfaction he could obtain from the con-
temptation of symmetrically conceived struc-
ture."
In addition to its extreme harmony of parts.
the new central portion Of the Department of
Agriculture Building has something that will
attract the huge crowds of tourists who throng
Washington. A large inner court is being con-
structed inside the central portion. This inner
court is primarily to be palm court that the
department viii utilize as q room where the
personnel may eat their luncheons and as o
large conference room and exhibition hall. Spe-
cialistS in the department who have carefully
studied the effect of the length of day upon
Thanksgiving and Christmas, and poinsettias on
the Fourth of July. 1t may be that tourists will
be attracted to this palm court to see chrysan-
themums and poinsettias blooming in the middle
of Summer and iris blooming on Halloween and
Thanksgiving.
The inner court will be two stories high and
at the third story floor level 1t has been topped
with roof of glass. On the second floor level
a corridor surrounds the palm court with many
openings on the court At each side of the inner
court two "Juliette" balconies have also been
built.
On the first floor level, also, the inner court
is surrounded by a corridor from which descent
is made into the court itself down three steps.
The floor of this corridor round the court is
constructed of ear-reSonant trayartine marble
with a cream-colored hue. That word Gear
resonant" in relation to travartine signifies that
the marble acts as a shock absorber between the

with cream-colored terra Gotta.
fountain is being set up in the middle of
the inner court. The floor of the palm court
itself has been lined with slate. The slate used
in the floor harmonizes with the stone used In
the steps to the corridor and the porous, "ear-
resonant" travartine marble Of the corridor
itself. On one wall of the corridor is o large
hole greater in size than huge doorway, with
an arched top in which is to be placed the
United States Department of Agriculture's
World War memorial. This memorial is being
carved in white marble and is to have on one
side life-sized solder and on the other side a
life-sized sailor presenting arms, between which
are being engraved the names of those men of
the department who went to France and did not
return. A grand stairway leads from the corri-
dor surrounding the inner court on the first
floor to the corridor surrounding the court on
the second floor.

New Agriculture Building Model Structure

attractive as the inner court. Fifteen diff
ferent kinds of marble are being used in the
outside of the building. Seventy thousand cubic
feet Of Georgia marble and 5000 cubic feet of
Massachusetts, granite have been used in the
construction of the exterior.
AS originally conceived the central portion OF
the building was to have been Of four stories,
with dome surrounding the fourth story 70
harmonic with the new Museum. This plan
had to be changed In order to furnish more
room. The need for additional room is playing
a major part in the construction Of the whole
structure. Instead Of the dome, 1t was decided

MUD BAR AUTOS AT BLACKBIRD
Farmers Park Cars on Concrete Road
Prior to Levy Court Visit

Members Of a delegation Of 25 per-
sons from Deakyneville rode across a
muddy stretch of road yesterday
morning in wagons en- route to Will
mington, where they petitioned the
Levy Court of New Castle county for
replacement of the road with one of
concrete. Knowing that the road
would become impossible when the
snow began to melt, they drove their
cars to Blackbird and parked them in
advance. The stretch leads from the
end of the concrete road to a point on
the road to Cummins' Landing running
east from Smyrna. Residents Of this
place complain that there are a great
many days on which the rural mail
carrier is unable to get through. This
condition is rendered more acute by
the fact that the nearest postoffice is
ten miles away. a school is located
there and children living in outlying
districts are greatly inconvenienced
during wet weather when the road be-
comes muddy, many being forced to
remain at home. Valuable farm land
is situated adjacent to the road thru
out its length.

REPAIRS FOR DIRT ROADS SOON
County Engineer Moore is Having Bad
Spots Checked by Road Supervisors

Plans are rapidly being completed
by County Engineer H. w. d. Moore
for the repair of the dirt roads in
Kent county. According to Mr. Moore
the work will be started as soon as
the weather permits. The County
Engineer has had the road supervisors
examine all the roads in their districts
and mark the bad places SO that they
could be repaired. According to Mr..
Moore drainage is one Of the main
problems to be considered in the re
pairing Of the dirt roads. 1t is his
plan to have the roads properly drain
ed before the repair work is started on
them. Some of the bad spots are re-
ceiving attention now where it is pos
sible to use sand in covering over
some Of the rough places. When the
weather opens up Mr.. Moore plans to
have the bad places, which are listed
now by the supervisors, properly
drained and then use some materials
on these places that will give them a
permanent improvement. Mr.. Moore
realizes that many roads in the county
are in bad shape at present but he
also realizes that the use Of Stag or
some other substance on some of these
places now would not help as the ma
terial would only be lost in the mud.
1t is Mr.. Moore's plans to work dur
ing the coming summer on these roads
50 that they will be in shape for next
winter.

How About 1t?
(BY H. e. PRALL)

get tired O. hearin' people, goin' here and there, and knockin'
This old State in which we're livin' cause they're never
satisfied.
One is not so dog-gone foolish cause he likes the sort O.
freedom =
He enjoys upon these prairies; He's a right to have some
pride.
There are those so pessimistic that you'll always hear them
Things are never just to suit them. hardly anywhere
If it's dry they're always readin' how some other state is
flooded,
And they talk of California when they should enjoy the
snow.
They don't see the flowers a-bloomin, they don't hear the
songbrds singin'
In the happy, smnin' summer, when the June-days strut
their stuff"
That's the time they feel the north-wind, hear the howlin' of
the blizzard,
They're afraid that in the winter there may not be coal
enough.
If it rains they're simply drownin'-if it's dry, the crops are
ruined,
1t it's hot, the wheat will suffer, if it's cool, it's bad for corn.
Seems like they think that by compainin' they ward off a heap
O. danger,
Their misfortunes started early, on the day that they were
born.
In his present habitation, and his farm is not Ito let"
It's a pleasure just to hear him tellin' that he likes the climate
That he's got such lovely neighbors, "and I'm glad I'm
here, you bet"

Awe of New York City's rep
Ed resentative commercial build
l. ings contain o telephones
than serve ordinarily a city of 1O0,-
600 inhabitants. These buildings
are the Woolworth Building, the
Graybar Building, the New York
Telephone Company Building, the
Equitable building and the A. T. &
7. Building.
These five office buildings have
a total of over 19,200 telephones,
more telephones in fact than are
to be found in the city of Evans
vile. Ind, or Waterbury, Conn, and
indeed more than New York City
itself had at the beginning of 1896.

DIRECT CIRCUIT

A direct telephone circuit has
been placed in operation between
Niagara Falls and New York City.
The industrial growth at the Falls,
with the attendant increase in tele-
phone traffic, made the new circuit
necessary.

people, but every cow town, little
or big, has it's rodeo. And such
elaborate outfits as one saw dis
played in the windows-silver
mounted saddles and brides, ten
gallon hats, beaded and embroid-
cred vests, etc. One deliberately
decorated vest had dice for but
tons. Chased silver spurs or
leather wrist protectors with fill
agree silver ornaments. The win
dows we're full of them and we
saw some such outfits parading
the streets. But there were plenty
of the black hated, bow-legged,
honest-to-goodness cowboys to be
seen, too.
Frontier Days
The Cheyenne rodeo, Daddy of
En- ALL" gave it's 23rd perform
ance this year and it was some
show. Thousands of people from
all over the United States were
there. The city was full of strang-
ers, hotels were full up, and hun
dreds of tents were pitched at the
tourist camp near the Frontier
Days grounds, which are fully two
miles from the heart of the city.
Frontier Days is a big show,
but the management misses no OPP
p~ortunity to advertise-attractive
folders, billboards, tire covers and
menus, so that the tourist passing
through Cheyenne might fix the
date in his mind and plan to re-
turn.
The hospitality of the Wyoming
cities was unbounded, and bust
nessmen gave their cars and time
to take the N. E. A. party from
place to place. A man from an
eastern state was expressing his
establishment at this, saying that
in the east a businessman might
give a sum of money toward the
entertainment of such a delega-
ton, but it would not occur to
him to give his time. The Wyom-
ing man replied: ooh, we all get
in the habit of pulling together,
whenever there is anything to be
put across.P Probably that was
the secret that explained why so
many small towns appeared to be
much bigger than they claimed
to be.
Over the Snowy Range
The day following the conven-
ton we got off the train where
we had spent the night to find
ourselves in Rawlins, about 200
miles west Of Cheyenne. Eighty
or more cars were lined up at the
depot to take us on way. Our
host for the day was a Mr. Tier
ney, big sheepman, who is also
extensively interested in oil. He
took us for a drive around the
town of Rawlins, which is n of
the old towns of the state, and
showed us the state penitentiary,
some very fine churches and bust
ness buildings and nice substan-
tial residences. Then he drove us
on to Parco seven miles away
where breakfast was served in the
hotel. And such a breakfast. 1t
was our initiation into the way
Wyoming people feed the stranger

berries, bacon and scrambled eggs,

corn bread and toast, coffee, pan
cakes and jelly. How could one
hope to reduce on meals lika
that?
Parco is a tailor-made town. that
is, built to a laid out pattern.
Most Of the buildings are mission
style although there are many at
tractive brick cottages. The hotel
where we had breakfast is built
in mission style, has a large foun
tain in the dining room, bealned
cealings, etc.
From Parco our route ran up
into the big Snowy mountains,
through the little town of Sara
toga, the ghost city of Fort Steele.
At Saratoga the people had been
fishing the two days previous 10
our arrival and had caught 1900
mountain trout which were sevred
us for lunch up in the mountains.
AS we rode up into the mountains,
winding around and around ever
higher we say quantities of beau
tiful mountain flowers, columbines
the state flower of Colorado,
Indian paint brushes, the state
flower of Wyoming, vast numbers
of daisies, dainty yellow lilies and
dozens of other varieties in such
~profusion as to make n exclaim
with wonder. Little blue lakes
were scattered here and there,
edged with a fringe of pine trees,
or mirroring the stern grandeur
of granite peaks. Finally ahead OF
us we saw a mountain which,
above the timber line, cleaned
white as if covered with snow
But when we reached the summit
we saw that the "snow" was white
rocks lying close together.
But we were to e snow a lit
tie later on for we rode along a
trail where the banks on either
side of the car were Is high as
the top of the car and we could
reach out and gather handfuls as
we passed. The path through
these drifts had just been shovel
ed out three days before. We
heard the next day that it had
been one of the hottest days ever
experienced, that day, but up on
the mountain top it was comfofi :
able.
An Oil Story
Our host, Mr.. Tierney, told us
some of his experiences as he
drove along. He owns a great
many sheep and they are the chief
source of his income. One of the
party asked him how much land
he owned and he told us $1,000
acres, and that he had a like
amount that he had the use of for
grazing purposes. Once he filed
on some oil land. The filing fee
was $3.50. Then oil vas discover
ed on the land and from the time
oil was first struck to the present
never a month has passed without
his getting a dividend, the small
est of which was about $500. 1t
would make a nan dizzy trying
to figure out just how much in
terest he is getting on that $3.50
investment. But sheep is the sub
iect that interests him most and
his sheep he says bring him great
er returns than any of his other
interests.
