The truck was driven up to the building. - We have only two men oa the truck. .the driver and the tfllerman. People In' the crowd said: s'Why don't they, get ' those lad ders up?

We had to wait till the. call men arrived a longshoreman, for instance, from the river, front, a hackman from away up town, a carpen ter from the suburbs and a .mechanic from somewhere else, and we couldn't do a thing with the truck till they ar rived.

The fact that several-fires caused by overheated fireplaces , have occurred in this city recently has occasioned some talk in the' fire department and has caused considerable Interest In an ordi nance now being considered by the city council. ... The bill provides for more' stringent Inspection of buildings In course of erec tion and compels greater safeguards to be taken against 'fires.

In many houses in Portland the fire place is built on a wooden foundation built between the joists ofetho floor, On top of the board is placed a thin layer of cement, and then the1' hearth tile, is placed above this. Consequently there is noj much protection for the wood. The result is that gradually the beat from the fire penetrates the tile and ce ment, and in timechai - the-' wooden foundation and joists.

(jonrnat Spsciai Seme.) - - Vancouver,' Dec. 25, The Columbia River -Mill company will shortly, it is said, close down its plant for a while. The, purpose of this shutdown Is not dear except to enable a thorough over hauling of the machinery and place the mill In a better working order. There is. It is learned, also a hitch in the ownership of the plant and the prem ises upon which it stands. The old com pany, it - seems, bought the mill and through .some flaw failed to secure a right to the real estate upon .which the riant is situated. There is a new compasy formed which contemplates bidding in the plant when it Is sold In the near, future. The stock holders in the new corporation are heavy creditors of the old company which has gono In .the hands of a receiver and the business of which is now being finally adjusted.. If the-new company is the successful' bidder,- there is no doubt. It is alleged, but that th plant and prem ises both will be in. the absolute pos session of the company. -The mill is one of .Vancouver's main industries and a permanent shutdown would prove a serious loss. The new company formed, however,, is mostly of - Vancouver capital and - is composed of persons who have too much to lose by a permanent closing up of the plant, and everything to gain by. a thorough overhauling and . enlargement of the plant and a continuation of the business.

The dingy walls of the old Tlvoll theatreso long the favorite place of entertainment for San Franciscans, now bear the mark at the pick and the sound of of workmen tearing away the rotting timbers Is mu sic less sweet than that which echoed in the rafters when grand opera and the strains of merrier operatic productions volumed from the orchestra. Across the Street, at the corner of Eddy and Mason is the new Tlvoll edifice and last night (Wednesday), "Ixlon" was rendered as an opening number to an audience that filled to overflowing the tinsel galleries, the gaudy boxes and the (main floor. The rucuenty oi me music was in strange comparison to the cheapness of the new house. - There was a feeling that the Krellng estate had not made a wise move in remodeling the old panorama build ing Instead - of placing - the new onera house in the proposed. Krellng hotel that will occupy the site of the ancient Ttv- oli structure that stands at Eddy and Anne streets. The new Tlvoll is a plaster, molded concern flanked with the remains of an tlquated. bow-windowed lodging' houses. The main part of the theatre was once the circular receptacle of the ."Battle of Gettysburg,", and about the outer walls were attached two queerly constructed two-story, dwelling that were, in fact, part of the center framework. When the Krellng estate leased the Interior of this odd mixture of brick and redwood it permitted the old marginal buildings to remain, with the result that when the B0 feet or more of reconstructed entrance was set in the framework unpainted dust-covered rooming places the effect was something wonderful to behold. It was as If the varnished portion of exposition concession had been thrown by an earthquake against the remains of houses that had escaped disaster, but snouidn t have done so, Bich la Color. There is" one thing that redeems the new Tlvoll and that is the scientific; ar rangement or us interior accommeda tions. The fittings are rich in color, if not as substantial as they might be. The theatre has a clear width Inside of 124 feet and a depth of from the footlights to the doors in front of 100 feet. The main auditorium can ,be emptied from two wide doors at .either side that are level with the streets and a number of exits are to be found at the right and left rear of the stage: Each floor has a separate foyer and each loge has a sep arate door from the foyer. The decora tions are in cneam and gold, with a shade of green pow and again that is very ar tistic in its blendlngs., -- ... - It must be confessed that the artist and architect have produced a pretty interior effect at a comparatively small outlay of money.
