An examination of the fronts of these bluffs in St. Paul, and elsewhere, proves the above statement to be correct beyond question, I think. But the subject to be treated of in this paper is intended to be limited pretty closely to the period of the existence of St. Paul as the habitation of the pale-face.

To this insatiate archer the mastery of two trans-continental roads did not suffice. He wanted another and he began to build it in his own characteristic way. The New York World, a paper that is not liable to a suspicion of undue favoritism towards corporations in general or toward any one corporation, points to the thirteen hundred mile trunk line which Mr. Hill and his associates were constructing in British America from Win nipeg to the Pacific coast as another example of the Hill way of build ing a railroad. The World adds: The road will cost Mr. Hill might have made the Great Northern, which he controls, finance the new enterprise; or he might have had a flotation of securities with Wall Street talent to underwrite them. As it is there are no bonds, no bonuses, no commissions. Since Mr. Hill bought, years ago, the little road out of St. Paul, which he afterward extended, he has consistently pursued these methods. He has never asked for a government subsidy. He is sued one class of stock, with uniform rights and qualities. Besides being the master mind in these vast railway actualities (not undertakings) Mr. Hill is a director of the Chase National Bank and First National Bank of New York, and of the First National Bank of Chicago, and the Illinois Trust and Savings Company.

Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Download or read book Twentieth Century Building Materials written by Thomas C. Jester and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
