T. PAT-U MInti, War .-Spc!l )
"vrn-n I-oula W. Hill. president of ths
C.reat Northern, recommended to m
eop'.s of rortund the construction or
n auditorium, ilmll.r la ererr respect
to the one la ft. Paul, he did o ra
raua. fce knew that the St. Paul strue
ture 1 one of the best business seltenj
Jn Amerlra. He alao knew that he aad
1 t a.cx-late had invested nearly JIOO.
..., In Portland and lt surrounding
territory, therefore he wa anxloua to
a.e the proper step taken which would
.! to the advancement of the city of
J'nrtland.
Few American municipalities have
raised a more remarkable monument to
tr-elr public spirit than have the people
c.f St. Paul. In building for the per
jtual benefit of the public one of the
I!n.t auditorium bultuings la the
world. seating 00 more people than
the New York Hippodrome, and
square feet larger la base area and
larger even than the Madison Square
;arden and seating t200 more people
than does even that famoua etructure.
The enormous etructure was con
ceived In April. 1S. On December 11.
ef the umi year the first contract waa
awarded and operations on a conyenl
ert lte already purchase were com
jnenred. The April agitation for the
ere t ion of a suitable building waa a
spontaneous revival of the old time de
jrnt for a "town hall- of aultable pro
portions and consequence to fittingly
entertain the people of one of the most
Veautlful cities In the I'nlted States
and th.lr guests. In May a commis
sion of 11 waa choaen to build a build
In, with PhiJ W. Heraos;. a business
man. at the head.
I lrc use Held There.
The first opportunity the people of
nty had of viewing the beautiful
s'ructurs cama on the night of the
open In? balL on the anniversary of the
beginning of the auditorium movement,
at which I00 couples occupied the
Bias; at the same time, while 19.000
people looke-t on. Many months later,
when Faint Paul entertained Secretary
Ta?u 209 people aat down to a dinner
In honor of the famoua guest, on the
ataae alone. Through the great arches
opening from the street to the stage,
tour-horse tally-ho roaches loaded with
people are frequently driven, and dur
ing the early months of the present
year a full-fledged rlrcua and Wild
West ahow. complete In every detail,
srltlj rings, aerial artists, troope of
hor.es and all the usual clrcue featurea
gave performance after performance on
the huge stage, ana was no ii.rn jiti
In the least deree for either spice or
ieiht overhead. On several occaatons
j.nt people have been aeated In the
building at the same timo. for the en
joyment of various spectacles. A bat
talion of Infantry can maneuver on the
tags with room to spare.
The St. Taul Auditorium la an ob
long structure Ml feet In width and
Jtfl feet In length, having an averags
height of "1 f-t. It Is designed In the
modern Italian rennalssancs style. The
r.-.lt are extremely simple and dig
nified and a very vtraalng effect haa
reen secured by the use of dark golden
brown brli-k. with trimmings of terra
cocta In the same color. All Kissing
throughout the bulldlnc Is of green and
opil tinted glass and all exposed wood
work waa treated wtth a dark mahog
any stain. On each aide of the bulldlnc
are beautiful arcades, facilitating entry
and exit, each 10 feet long. 1J feet
wide and IS feet high, with a barrel
arch broken by pilasters and arch ribs
every IS feet. K-irh Is Illuminated by
Incandescent lights from 1 especial
ly graceful chandeliers.
The remarkable flexibility of the
structure, which was secured by methods
which wore used In St. Paul for the
rst time and have been patented.
m-ikes It possible to transform the huge
l.all with Its enormous stage, a public
feathering place seating 10.000. Into a
ciir theater seating J.;00 people In fif
teen minutes. The theater occupied ap
proximately one-third of the length of
the building. .
Along the side walls are box or which
with the balcony seats abote them are
cntructed on hup steel frames sklll
a!ly concealed. These great frames,
pivoted on the ends reaching to the rear
of the theater, swing Inward at will and
.the effect la sa If great sections of the
lde walla had suddenly been moved en
tire, carrying with them boxes and bal
cony seats. Aa the hinged bcx-s-ctlons
swing Inward, the proscenium arch drops
downward from concealed recesses In the
crlllnc. a beautiful velvet curtain falls
and the building Is a beautifully ap
pointed theater, with all of the great
stags except the footlights hidden from
view. Scvnery la shifted Into place and
in a few seconds the theater Is ready for
suae. From the footlights to the farthest
row of theater seels Is a distance of 10
est.
AcohpUc Properties) Excellent.
The acoustic properties of the build
ing ara wonderful. An experiment fre
quently tried provee that though the
building la a city block In length Inside,
a person starting at the farthest row
of gallery seats In the extreme end of
the building and high above the foot
lights, can distinctly hear words spoken
In an ordinary tons of voice at the
archea at the distant end of the great
tags. A single speaker oan make him
elf distinctly heard to 10.004 people,
while great singers have enthusiastically
praised tha structure for Its exceptional
xropertlea
Fine, surpassingly fine! said Caroso.
Alfred Herts, conductor of the Conreld
Overs Company, said: "So fine a build
ing astonishes me. It la the beat for
grand opera, aside from the regular
theaters, that I have ever seen."
The entire structure la absolutely fire
proof. It la built entirely of steel,
brick and concrete and thsre Is
nothing which conld burn except
the little woodwork and whatever
scenery te building happena to
contain. The main floor la of con
crete, built to sustain 1004 pounds to the
sxruare foot. The balconies are of solid
concrete. There Is nothing la the en
tire etructure whlcxt does not bespeak
tha most solid careful and substantial
construction. Compared with other great
structurea the main dimensions are as
follows:
St. Paul Auditorium 191x11 feet.
Seats 10.000.
New York Hippodrome 100xS feet.
Seats 4.0V4.
Madison Square Garden llfxlM feet.
wests T.SoO.
The entrances to the building, a dosen
in number, open upon a wide lobby, from
which a dozen doors lead to a beautiful
foyer shut off from the theater by
swinging dtors.
Thorough business method dominated
everr step In the construction of the
building. The work of building waa car-
rled on by a commission, or committee.
Every contract and expenditure was sub
jected to rigid Investigation and scru
tiny. The result wss ths construction
of a building In which the people have
dollar for dollar, and value for Invest
ment even to the hair's breadth. The
total cost was 0.&00. The structure
Is paid for and Is st present under the
charge of a city board, composed of
practical business men. and a manager.
It Is Interesting to note thst the Hlr
prdrome In New Tork cost I4.0-M.0O0.
The Chicago auditorium cost IJ.I00.0o0.
The Ndison Square Garden cost
j.n.)fl.o.)o.
The new structure Is notable for Its
I advanced design and Interior arrange
ment and for the exceptional value re
ceived by the people for the money they
gave. Its adequacy and satlsfactotiness
for the handling of the usual gatherings
large and small, which are he:d In such
a city as St. Paul. In which annually
convene manv national conventions. Is
remarkable. The Sunday afternoon pop
ular orchestra concerts are held at the
auditorium. The greateat gatherings of
the year are held In the same building.
It accommodates the one as well aa the
other, giving each especially !c'lrable
facilities.

BOIaE, Idaho. May SI. (Special)
Southwestern Idaho will be the scene
of Important railroad construction Im
mediately. Official announcement of
this has just been msde by K. IL
lewey. president of the Idsho Northern
Railway Company. A 100-mlle exten
sion to the Idsho Northern Railroad
will be built within the next two years
from the present terminal at mmett
through the rich Long Valley to the
Payette Lakes, known as - the most
besutlful health resort In the western
section of the Oera state.
The railroad has advertised for the
laying down of 300.000 ties along the
route of the extension. 25.000 to bo de
livered at Marsh. Just east of Emmett:
SS.OOO at Emmett and the rest along
the right-of-way from Horseshoe Bend
north to the Payette Lakes. The line
will pass through the towns of Smiths
Prairie, Van Wyrk. Marsh. Horseshoe
Bend and Roseberry. Mr. Dewey an
nounces the first link In the extension
will ba constructed between Emmett
and Horseshoe Bend this year. The
balance will be built the latter part of
the present year and the early part of
next. All bids for the ties, which are
to be. red fir. are to be In by May :s
of the present year.
The western section of Idaho, which
will be tapped by ths extension, la very
rich In timber, minerals. coaL farming
produce, etc. It Is virtually Impossible
to take this produce out with the re
sult that Long Valley In particular has
crown Into a thriving section Isolated
from all other parts of the state. It
lien In the heart of Boise County.
Horseshoe Bend Is located at the
most southerly part of the valley on
the sweeping bend of ths Payette
River. It Is at present platted Into a
townslte and Is not only the key to a
thriving section, but has abundance of
power. Probably one or its mosi at
tractive features Is Its coal mines, said
to be as rich as those In Wyoming, but
which have never been extensively
mined.
Reaching to the edge and Into the
Long Valley abova Is one of the larg-e.-t
blocks of standing timber In the
Northwest. It Is owned by the Weyer
haeusers. of which the Payette Lumber
Company of this city Is. a subsldlsry.
This company holds a 10-year lease
from the state on, the timber.

SUGGESTIONS
Nursery Men
One or more of our tracts will giro
you a good location 20 minutes out.
Just outside San Francisco and, other
California cities this is a very profit
able business, and should be here, if
you understand it or are willing to
learn.
Poultry Raisers
If yon think that yon can raise)
chickens and squabs at a profit, her'
is the proper location 20 minutes
from city. I couldn't do it, but many
others are doing it.
Economical People
Yesterday a woman said: "This
handsome house where I live doesn't
belong to me. I only rent it; we are
using all our income in living ex
penses, and I- am going to stop it, or
else we will not have anything when
we are old." She said: "I am going
to buy a half acre of land, build a
modest but artistio home, and havs
things dainty, and they will be mine.''
