NEW YORK, May J7 AhhouKli the
skyscrapers is the distinctive feature
of New ork architecture and this
city possesses the tallest building in
the world, with the new 680 foot Me
tropolitan tower at the head of the
list, a vigorous warfare on this class
of structure has been begun here. Ac
cording to its opponents the sky
scraper's list ' sins is a long one. It
adds to the congestion of the streets,
already a very serious problem in the
downtown district. It shuts off light
and air from other buildings while
creating tremendous drafts through
the canyon like depths that arc form
ed by its walls. The fifty-story build
ing is uneconomic, it is said, because
of the increased cost of construction
to provide against tremendous strains
and wind pressure. Fire depart
ments officials declars that a con
flagration live hundred feet above the
street level cannot be fought succcs-
fully with any apparatus yet devised.
To the claim that these buildings are
proof against fire, they point to the
recent destruction of the Parker
building which was supposed to he an
excellent example of fire proof con
struction. A number of civic organi
zations have adopted resolutions
against the erection of any more
buildings of enormous height. Cur
iously enough one of the most active
oppoments of the skyscraper is the
architect of the Singer building, who
is responsible for several of the struc
tures against which he protests. Now
the novelists have taken a hand in the
agitation and in a story printed in the
June number of Appleton's a convinc
ing picture is given of a daring band
of criminals who hold up the whole
city by taking possession of the top
floors of a skyscraper and arming
themselves with high explosives.
While this possibility may be disre
garded as a practiced danger, it has
been pointed out often by millitary
experts that New York's soa'ng
buildings would afford a fine target
for the long range guns of a hostile
fleet and that tJie whole lower city
could easily be reduced to ruins in
case of war. If this is true the idea
of the Appleton writer may itit be
so fanciful as it seems. At any rate
there is a rising slogan which declares
that while the skyscraper need not go
more of the most extreme kind shall
come.
New York has had a bridge scarce
this week, caused by the report that
the new Blackwcll's Island Bridge
across the East' River was overloaded
and likely to collapse in the same
manner as the great Quebec bridge
which fell last year and which was
the same type of structure. The
Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges
are both of the suspension variety but
this new structure is a cantilever. It
is not yet completed but so far has
cost the city about six and a quarter
million dollars and it is estimated
that a million and a half more will be
needed to finish it. The prospect of
seeing all this wealth fall into the
East River naturally does not appeal
to the overburdened metropolitan tax
payers, to say nothing of the loss of
that would result. The charges that
the bridge is in a dangerous condition
are made by engineers and other en
gineers, employed by the city, are now
making an investigation. Periodi
cally there is alarm over the safety
of the older bridges. These contain
at certain hours of the day from ten
to twenty thousand persons at one
time and if ene of them were to fall
it would be one of the greatest catas
trophes in the history of the country.
European hotels are becoming
Americanked and are approaching
more and more closely to the New
York model in size and luxurious
equipment. That at least is the state
ment of Herr Adlon of Berlin who is
described as the foremost hotelkeeper
of Europe and who enjoys the friend
ship and patronage of the Kaiser.
Herr Adlon has just given his name
to the largest and most fashionable
hotel in Germany and is visiting the
principal cities of the United States
to obtain tew ideas for his establish
tiieut. One feature in which he points
out that the influence of American
travellers is shown is that the most
up-to-date European hotel devote
much space to the lobby and to public
lounging places than formerly. Other
American improvements such as tele
phones in every room have been in
troduced while every big hotel of re
cent construction have its American
bar presided over by a mixologist im
ported from New York. In one re
spect, however, 1 Terr Adlon insists
that continental hotels are still ahead
of the majority of those in America
and that is in the quality of the cook
ing. If Europe finds it necessary to
import American bartenders the Unit
d States is compelled to import
French and German chefs so that
honors are easy in this respect.
New York is now the gateway for
more than a third of all the grain
which is exnorted from the United
States. This fact comes as a sur
prise to many persons who were not
aware of the big part that this city
plays in the agriculturcl business of
the country. The statement is sup
ported by government statistics, how
ever. Reports of the Department of
Commerce and Labor show that over
li 10,000,000 bushels of grain are now
received at this port every year for
consumption and shipment abroad.
The months of heaviest exports are
now over but the flood continues to
pour into the city. It bids fair to be
increased in the next ten days by the
arrival of record shipments of wheat
and corn from the western primary
markets following the opening of
transportation on the Great Lakes.
The size of these shipments is an
interesting commentary on the vol
ume of the actual grain which is rep
resented by the transactions on the
Chicago Hoard of Trade and other
ft . . . ...
exenanges. ine rcicm uiuhiiuih
set a new weekly record of grain ship-
ments from Uueago, wver r,uovyov
bushels of cereals will have been snip
ped from that city alone by the end
f the month. All the available ves
sels on the lakes have been pressed
into service to carry the grain from
Chicago, Duluth and other ports.
. I Not all of this huge outpour of grain
will reach New York, however, as
some of it will go to other eastern
points for milling and export.
The death of "The" Alien, the
veteran gambler who for thirty years
successfully defied the efforts of the
police to close his resorts re
moves the man who for years held
the title of " the wickedest man in
New York." Whether he deserved
it is doubtful.. In fact his friends in
sist that the original "wickedest man"
was an altogether different Allen and
that "The" received the appellation
through a confusion of names. By
most New Yorkers he will be re
membered for the diversion caused by
his warfare with successive police
captains who raided his place as
many as a hundred times in the course
of a year, but never succeeded in put
ting him out of business. He retired
voluntarily two years ago. It is an
interesting commentary on the sup
posedly enormous profits of gambling
places that after forty years as a
gambler Allen died a comparatively
poor man.
There is a procession of exposi
tions in New York that extends from
one year's end to another's but per
haps the oddest of these is the one
that has been holding forth in Madi
son Square Garden during the pres
ent week. It is called a "Parents'
Exposition." Its most interesting
exhibit have been hundreds of ex
ceedingly lively babies calculated to
drive all thoughts of rac,e suicide from
the minds of the visitors. All the
most scientific appliances for the suc
cessful upbringing of youngsters have
been exhibited and lectures have been
delivered by experts presumably of
interest to members of the Newlywed
family. Appropriately enough the
presiding genius of the affair is re
presented by the huge figure of a
stork carrying a baby suspended from
its bill.

The office of County Coroner is not
a political but a judiciary office as
much so as the Circuit Judge or Jus
tice of the Peace. In aspiring to that
office I would just as soon ask a Re
publican, as a Democrat, Socialist or
nonpartisan for his support, as the
office should be and during my in
cumbency always has been conducted
without regard to politics.
I have resided in Clatsop County
for 34 years, my whole interests are
here, and I expect to remain here.
I have tried to conduct the office
with impartiality and fairness and
with a due regard to the interest of
the taxpayers. The annual appropria
tions of the County Court for the
Coroner's office which includes, physi
cians, jurors and witness fees and
other necessary expenses such as
boat hire have been $600.00 and the
actual expense has often been much
