Lane County's h Court HOW IT LOOKS COMPETED K Short Description of the BuiMing a Reporter by llie Architect, Win lie a t'lut airuciurs. Now that the foundation la finished it is but meet that thu taxpayers of this county be given an luslght luto the way their money is belngex) ended In the erection of our new court bouse, together with a brief description of the same. On June 12, 1897, our couuty com- nilsloneis after examining many very luerltoriou plana presented for their consideration by ptnmlnent architects of this state, selected the one presented by thearehltect of our county Jail, Col J Delos JJ Keer, who kindly gave to a Guard reporter a short d scrlptiou of the building as it will appear when completed. If competency and reputa tion counts for anythlug the taxpayers of this county need bave no fear as to the final outcome of the expenditure of their money by their servants, tbe county commissioners, into whose hands by their votes tbey have given the administration of the county's affairs. , The size of the building on the ground Is 00x00 feet. It will be put up with pressed brick, Pioneer stone trim mings; the cornices will be copper. Rising above aud over the front en trance will be tbe clock tower which rises over one buudred feet above the first floor; all to be aurmounted with beautiful roofs of gold Irou Ir imlla tion of Kpauish tile. The entrances, of which there are three, ure very Imposing, especially H.o main enl rsni'O. which Will be a larire arched open portico with granite ion. wl marble floor. The vestibule will be iloorei In the same way. The entire superstructure will set on a heavy stone and brick foundation, the outer walls of which rise above the grade about seven feet, and are put up villi siono nuarrled within two miles of the buildiug site. The walls are laid up in the style known as "brok n Ashler, pitch faced work," with window sills and lintels cutout of Piooeir stone, an neauy pointed and to be topped out with a heavy cut stone water-table. . ... i t . L . waaJ ihe basement win commu m nu4 and boiler rooms, aud atore room; cor ridors and lavatory which will be plumbed and ventilated according to tbe best system known for such work, one large brick stack with stack heat ers to be used solely for that purj ose. Entrance to basement will be valued from the outalde, through doora put in under tbe heavy masonry arches of portho floors. The first floor will contain tbe prin cipal county offices and llie county court room, with private offlces for the county Judge. Entrance to thus rooms will be gained from a large sqaure central ball Into which every room on tbe first floor opens. Tbe county clerk and auditors rooms are provided with very large flr. oroof vaults with windows heaylly grated outside and Iron doors Inside. The floors will be solid concrete, with iron floors laid in roams to connect therewith to roll record oars out upon, thereby saving the wood floor. Theaheriff and treasurer also bave Ore proof vaults connected with their rooms, though not nearly so lari;e as the others. All tbe ofllcee on tht first floor will bave double wood floors with furring and flreprooflng between; also marble wash basins In each. The several rooms will be fitted up with glass par tltlona, counters etc, where required for their several conveniences. The lower hall floors will be laid through out with unglazed tile. The upper floors will contain circuit court roams, Judge's room, library, grand Jury and jury rooms, acbool superintendent, county surveyor, etc. RlalDg from the central hall are two spacious stairways, deslgued for use In reaching the secoud floor, one for publlo and one for private use. The rooms throughout will be finished lu first class style with native woods, the halls and staha with oak, all done in cabinet style. The building will be heated through' out with steam. Heating and vsntll ating will be put in in according to the meat eoientlno principles for such work. Electricity will ee used for the light ing, includlag the dials ot tower dock. The cost of the building will depend largely on the price of labor and ma tvlalaat the time of taking bids: It being tbe lutentlon of the architect und county court to use ao far as poasl bin only (be best of ever) thing without being extravagant. Of one tbl ng however, we are assur ed, that while there are good court homes lu the state, aeysrsl planned and deslgued 1'7 the same hand, the people of Lane county will not have to take their ha ta off to ny other building in the state for convenience, bty, design, or construction. The buildiug will be practically fii proof on account of all principal par titions from basement to roof being brick. The style of the structure, Is lathe main Romanesqee, tbe proportions In every way having been carefully studied. The finished plans are at the court house and can be seen by any one wishing to do so. Commissioners Court. At this time it appearing to the court from an examination of the county treasurer's books that there Is the sum or credited to tbe nab and game law fund, aud it appearing to the court that Lane county haa paid out In ex peuses to the present time, tbe sum of 1104.25 over aud above the expenses for which the county has been relm-bur-ed under the fish and game laws; it Is therefore ordered by the court that suid tG4.23 credited to said fish and game lew tund, be and tbe sarin is hereby transferred to the general fund of the county to reimburse the county for the said expenses aid the treasurer Is hereby dljsuted to so trans fer iald sum of $04.28. At Buttb T8 Handsaker, who is assisting in a revival meeting at Butte Mont., writes aa follows to his parents In this city: "We are having about, three or four inches of snow and It Is pretty eoldj The most disagreeable thing about this place la tbe sulphur smoke - from tbe smelters. This Is distinctively a mining town, with a population of about 45,000, About one-fourth of the output of copper of the world Is mined here. It amounts to about $30,000,000 annually. There are also gold and sliver mines to some extent, but tbe gold mines are pretty well worked out."
