The station is without doubt one of the finest and most efficiently designed railroad terminals in the world. It forms a vital link in the realization of the “Chicago City Beautiful Plan." Sim plicity, accessibility and convenience* for the traveling public are the essen tlal virtues of the new terminal. Rest and recreation moms, ticket offices, barber shop, dining rooms, stores of various kinds, and almost every con venience known to travelers, are to be found on the one level, no steps to climb. The main station is a low monumen tal type of building with a row of. massive columns of classic design along the entire east front. Once in side. the traveler finds himself Ama intlc .waiting gigantic waiting room more than feet high and brilliantly lighted through skylights in the great arch ceiling. Colonnades inclose the room, the walls of which are patterned after the architecture of ancient Rome. Bor dering this room are the ultra-complete passenger terminal facilities. An inno vation In railway terminal design is a conference room accommodating 125 people, which is available, without FIRE DEPARTMENT SAVES COREY STORE Just a few minutes after curfew time Monday night the fire whistle blew, and after the citizens realised it was a blaze they found, on arrival that the trouble was at the Corey store in the Stuart block of largv frame building. The fire as appeared- to Mine star’..-,! at the rear of l’ ■ store or under the roof at the back of the building- «.t this wr.Gnr the origin is not determined' Little damage was dor.e as the bl.ze was handled by ths fire department in time to save the block and probably most of the town. The Vernonia fire department is surely a big salvation to this city. Almost as soon ai the I sound of the whistle stopped the I hose was connected and water play-| ing on the building. At the alarm the pump men started for the pumping station and set the engine in motion giving double force to the, water and keeping the supply from running low. The fire fighters seemed to know their stuff like a book, and the cost of the entire water system and fire department has paid itself out on two occasions. --------- 8--------- ALBERT CHILDS ON SICK LIST THE CHURCH AND BETTER SOCIETY No institution of any kind can ex ist in any community of people with out leaving an influence surround ing it. What is true of other insti tutions is true of the church. She will leave an influence wherever found. What kind of an influence will the church exert on the surround ing community? The church stands for all that is high, noble and right. She has been the forerunner of the moral idea of the world and the highest type of civilization. Sne has shed light upon the world every where i nail the ages past. The same will be true for all time to come. Ships of commerce have fol lowed the church across the seas; the trains have carried their bur dens overland, because the influ ence of the church iias made possible a prosperous turir.es« anj scckty worth fhile. In choosing a home, the kind of society is almost always taken into serious consideration.

To give some Idea of the Immensity of the new station, it may be state«' that the main bniidlng covers an aren oí about three acres with a concourse covering 00,000 square feet. The en tire terminal facilities cover more than 35 acres and will expedite the prompt and satisfactory handling of 50,000 passengers, 400 tons of baggage and 300 trains dally with room for future expansion. Fifteen acres of glass were used In the various coverings over the train shedte, which extend more than 1,200 feet beyond the main structure. A total of 17,000 tons of structural steel, 175,000 cubic feet of Indiana limestone and 10,000 cubic feet of granite were used in the sta tion building and concourse. The foun dation consists of 449 cylindrical con crete piers from four to ten feet In diameter, reaching to a depth of more than 60 feet below the level of the Chicago river.
