of Important engineering undertaking«
from which travelers from all parta of
the United States will derive pleas
ure and benefit.
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

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.

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. The choice is

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.
