GIANT LOG PALACE
AT THE FAIR
ONE LOG WOULD BUILD A HOUSE
Forestry Building at the Lewia and
Clark Fair From tho Foreata of
tho Paoifio Northwtit.
BY FRANK L. MRKRICK.
The Forestry buildinur at the
Lewis and Clark centennial at Port
land, Oregon will go down in his
tory as the unique structure of all
expositions.
Not only is the building a new
departure in exposition structures,
but it is a marvelous modern exam
ple of the pioneer artictecture of the
great Oregon country a gigantic
log house.
It is not a log cabin; it is a log
palace, exemplifying in its compo
sition the forest wealth of Oregon
and Washington. Giants of the
forest, perhaps old when those stur
dy explorers. Lewis and Clark pene
trated into what is now termed the
Pacific Northwest one hundred
years ago, have been sacrificed in
building this monument in those
men's memory.
This mastodon structure of rough
hewn logs, typically American ia
design, stands out in striking con
trast with its stately neighbors of
beauty and grace in the style of the
Spanish Renaissance. Situated on
an eminence at the edge of a natur
al park of beautiful trees and vel
vety lawns, overlooking Guild's
lake and the Willamette river, with
five snow-capped mountain peaks
bounding the horizon, the view
from the galleries of this building
far surpasses anything ot its kind
in exposition history.
The Forestry building besides
being a timber exhibit itself, will
contain all the finished products of
the forest as well as the woods in
their native state. The structure
is 205 feet in length by 102 feet in
width and its extreme height is 70
feet. In its construction two miles
of five and six-foot fir logs, eight
miles of poles and tons of shakes
and cedar shingles were used. One
of the monster logs weighs 32 tons
and many of their size were used.
The logs have been left in the
rough with the bark on, and licit-
a a . . . r i
ens. the delicate tracery 01 lern
against the rugged brown of the
bark, clamleriug vines and rustic
hanging baskets ol forest flowers
will add a charming touch of pic
turesque wilderness.
To say that some of the base logs
of the building are six feet in dia
meter and 52 feet long means little
to the average person. A more
comprehensive idea of the immen
sity of these logs may be had, when
it is stated that one of these logs
contains enough lumber with which
to build a one-story cottage, forty
by forty feet in. size, a fence to sur
round it, board walks to lead up to
it, and then sufficient wood remain
ing with which to kindle a fire for
many months. Or if one of these
logs was cut up into standard size
flooring boards three inches by one
inch and these boards were placed
end to end they would reach for
thirteen and one-third miles.
A feature of the forestry display
will be one of the largest fir trees
ever felled. The log is twelve feet
in diameter at the butt, eight feet
at the top and oue hundred feet
long. It grew near the coast in
Clatsop county, Oregon. The logs
above the base are three feet
in diameter and vary in length.
Colonnades of immense flr trees 30
feet high and six feet in diameter
are striking features of the building
A veritable forest of these tree col
umns support splendid loggias or
galleries over the main entrances.
Besides the galleries there are pic
turesque balconies on each end of
the building. The portico over one
entrance is supported by giant
spruce trees and the other shows a
colonnade of magnificent hemlocks
that will be the marvel of all visit
ors. The upper part of the build
ing is constructed of cedar bark
shinties eighteen inches to the
weather. An over-hanging gabled
roof adds much to the attractive
ness of the structure.
The interior of the building as
well n the exterior will be an ex
hibit of the forest wealth of the
northwest. Here a colonnade of
fifty-two columns of fir and cedar
trees forty feet high supports the
roof. Rustic stairways and inside
balconies running around tht en
tire building enables the visitor to
study the wonderful virgin display
of native woods and the other pro
ducts of the forest.
In the construction of this log
palace primitive methods were ad
hered to as far as possible. There
was no carpentry work whatever,
the logs being framed together with
tree-nails and big old fashioned
wooden pins.
The forest giants used were felled
in the forests bordering on the Co
lumbia river. . After beino; shorn
of their branches they were placed
in cradles to guard against the
bark being torn off and drawn to
the river bank. Here they were
formed into large rafts and floated
down the river. From the Colum
bia river the logs were guided into
the Willamette river. From
this stream they were floated at
high tide over a narrow strip of land
into Guild's lake, the natural grand
basin of the exposition. The dis
tance traveled by these logs was
seventy-five miles.
From the lake the trees were
raised to the site of the Forestry
building in centennial park by
means of a skidway, one thousand
and five hundred feet in length.
The giants were lifted into place on
the building by a donkey engine of
forty-horse power, which was built
especially for this work, the ordi
nary donkey engine being only
aliout sixteen-horse-power.
Twelve thousand feet of wire ca
ble were used for hoisting and guys.
The finishing touches are now
being added to the Forestry build
ing and within a few weeks it will
be ready to receive the exhibits,
which, like itself will show to the
world, what vast riches are con
tained in the timber lands of the
Pacific Northwest.

EDWIN STONE
ASSAULTED
DIES FROM EFFECTS OF BURNS
Assaulted in His Room and tho
Place Seton Flre.--Wasa Popu.
lar Railway Official.
Albany, Or., Jan 30. Kdwin C.
Stone, manager ot the Corvallis &
Eastern Railroad, and one of the
best-known railroud men in Oregon,
died at bis home at 7:30 this morn
ing from injuries inflcted by an un
known asrailant in his hotel room
at Newport early Sunday morning
and from burns received in a fire
set by some mysterious thug. The
purpose of the assault is supposed
to have been robbery. The theory
has been advanced that the assail
ant delilerately set fire to the room
to cover up his work, supposing he
had killed Mr. Stone. As far as is
known Mr. Stone had no enemies,
he being universally popular. A
special train broughthiui to Albany
last evening, and this morning he
died.
' Mr. Stone had been manager of
of the Corvallis & Eastern the past
eleven years. He was one of Al
bany's leading citizens. He was
55 years old, and came to Oregon
as a boy in 1864, working at Can
yon City a short time. He then
went to Montana and engaged in
mercantile business, later going in
to railroad work and advancing ra
pidly. He worked in Montana
with A. B. Hammond, and when
the latter bought the Oregon Paci
fic eleven years ago, came to Ore
gon as manager of the road.
The Chinese New Year.
Chinese residents of Portland are
preparing to celebrate their New
Year in grand style this time, and
are already receiving their first ship
ments of sweet-meats and fruits
from China for the occasion. The
New Year will be ushered in this
time on February 3, and will be
celebrated for a period of two days
to a whole month, according to the
means and inclination of the cele
brants. .
Chinesereckon their years from
the beginning of the reign of the
present monarch, according to
Twin Wo, a Chinese teacher of Port
land, and the year about to be ush
ered in will be called the 31st of
Emperor Quong Hsu. How many
of these reigns have thus far been
recorded in the chronology of the
Chinese nation, Twin Wo does
not venture in opinion, but thinks
the years, if added up, would total
alout 6000. He says his country
men began actual timekeeping when
the world legan with a single pair
of Mongolians in the Chinese Gar
den of Eden, "All same Melcky
man."
Chinese are usually permitted to
use all the firecrackers they desire
on the occasion ol their New Year
festivities, and present indications
are that a merry time will be en
joyed on that portion of Second
street lying between Pine street on
the north and Taylor street on the
south. Oregon Journal.

Multnomah Against It.
Salem, Or., Jan to. Senator
Haines, the Washington county re
presentative in the upper house, is
thinking seriously of introducing a
bill to do away with the three per
cent rebate that is allowed when
taxes are paid in full before the first
Monday in April.
As the law stands at the present,
taxes may be paid in two install
ments, oue in April and the other
in October. However, in order to
induce people to pay their
taxes
with more than usual celerity, the
legislature enacted a law allowing
a rebate of three per cent.
This is what Senator Haines says
the people of his section desire. He
declared that he has canvassed the
senate on the question, and finds
the members somewhat divided.
However, he expects to introduce
the bill. Senator Haines will find
the Multnomah delegation ready to
vote against any such measure, as
the three per cent rebate system is
highly in favor in that county.
Oregon Journal.
A terrific explosion occured this
morning in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. S. E. Van Vactor on Chase
St. It is almost a miracle that
some one was not killed, however,
fortunately no one was hurt. The
other night being very cold, the
water pipes froze up connecting a
tank with Mr. Van Vactor's stove.
After building a hot fire in the stove
the frozen pipes kept the steam
from escaping which caused the ex
plosion. Fortunately at the time
no one was in the kitchen. The
force of the explosion was so great
that it tore a big range all to pieces
throwing pieces of iron all over the
house with force enough to go
through the walls almost in several
places. The kitchen was a com
plete wreck. Heppner Gazette.

FIERCE FIGHT
IN WARSAW
WOMEN AND CHILDREN SHOT
Down In tha Streeta by Drunken
Soldiers.-Strlhers Raise
tho Red Flag.
Warsaw, Jan., 31. Another day
! and half a night of horrors have
passed. As this dispatch is sent,
the city is ruled by savage mobs and
and more savage soldiers. Both
are intent upon killing. No official
statements are obtainable but when
the cost in human lives comes to be
counted there will be found dead by
the hundreds men, women and
children.
Every principal street has been
turned into a battlefield. It is im
possible to record the events of the
past twenty-four hours in chrono
logical order, for many conflcts oc
curred at the same time in sections
of, the city widely distant from each
other. Throughout the day and
night the fighting iu the streets con-,
tinued unabated. J
Every body young and old, men,
women and children was attacked
by the soldiers and ruthlessly
mowed down. One soldier aimed
a saber blow at a woman. In self
defense she drew a revolver and
fired a shot which went wild. A
second later a volley was directed
at her, and she fell dead, her body
riddled by a score of bullets. This
is but one of a hundred instances.
For the most part the soldiers
who rode and tramped through the
streets during the late afternoon of
Monday were drunk. They seemed
to take particular delight in attack
ing harmless persons. They killed
for the mere sake ol killing.
A Great 8eed Farm.
F. B. Mills, the seedsman, of Rose
Hill, New York, is now distribut
ing more than hall a million copies
of his greatest seed book, and with
each oue he sends free of charge a
sample packet of his new early
sweet corn, a wonderful novelty be
ing sent out this year to test in all
parts of the country. 1
The book itself is a beauty, giv
ing fine views of his immense estab
lishment which has been enlarged
year by year to fit the requirements
of a rapidly increasing business un
til it now compromises in addition
to the Fairview seed farms and green
houses, three departments each'of
unusual interest to the public.
Mills' thoroughbred poultry farm
is up-to-date in every respect; the
main house is 550 feet long, fully
equipped with electric heaters which
give complete protection from frost
in winter. A special poultry and

To Use Novel Cara.
The St. Paul road is about to put
into service two new "composite
observation" cars, which are a radi
cal departure from any of the forms
hitherto used in car construction.
Perhaps the most important feature
of the cars is found in their construc
tion. A series of solid steel arches
extend throughout and bind the
sills and sides together in such a
manner as to make it almost impos
sible to crush in the sides of the
cars.
The two cars just completed will
1 used on The Overland Limited
betweeu Chicago and Omaha, and
were built with a view to shutting
off the smokers from the other oc
cupants of the car.
In the rear is a large observation
platform and observation-room for
general use. Immediately forward
is a buffet, and adjoining the buffet
is the men's cafe and smoking-room.
In both the observation and smoking-rooms
writing desks have been
provided.
The lighting scheme gives each
reader a lamp, and the arrangement
is such that the passageway be
tween the apartments does not shut
off the view from one side of the
car. Chicago Record-Herald, No

It is exceptional to find a family
