. ntf£6ti McLennan, McFeely & Company's Warehouse, Vancouver. The above is an illustration of the new warehouse recently erected and occupied by McLennan, McFeely & Company of Vancouver. This building measures 175 feet on Cordova street and 122 feet on Columbia avenue, and is five storeys high with basement extending out tinder the sidewalks on both streets. This gives a larger amount of floor space to this firm than any other wholesale hardware warehouse in Canada. The walls are brick and concrete with mill construction interior. The equipment for handling goods consists of three Otis-Fensom elevators. Avith a capacity of two tons each, having platforms measur- ing 8 x 10 feet. There is a driveway through the building so that teams can enter on the Cordova street side, drive the entire length of the build- ing, pass two of the elevators, and make their exit on the Columbia avenue side. A spur line from the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks runs along the rear of the building. The combined arrangement makes it possible for them to handle a large amount of freight with the least possible expenditure of labor. The building is divided into two halves by a solid brick fire wall, extending the regulation distance above the roof. All openings in the interior of the building through this fire wall are protected by automatic fire doors. The whole building is equipped with a first class system of fire fighting apparatus and all openings from the elevator shafts as well as from the stairways, are also pro- tected by automatic fire doors. Business and Personal Short Lengths. Daniel J. Gallahan, of New York, and Edward J. Ryan, of Colling- wood, Ontario, were recent visitors to North Tonawanda. Mr. L. A. Lewis, manager of the Burnett Sawmill Company, Limit- ed, of New Westminster, returned recently from a three months' trip to Great Britain and Europe. The Victoria Harbor Lumber Company, Limited, and Waldie Bros., Limited, have removed their offices from 32 Church street to 12-14 AVellington street east, Toronto. A North Tonawanda report says that George Milliner has decided to bring forward to the Tonawandas some of the spruce lumber that is being manufactured on his holdings at Grand Valley, New Brunswick. A representative of the "Canada Lumberman" recently called aporj tin' Dominion Belting Company, Hamilton, Ont., and found them as busy as ever. One of several large belts recently shipped by them was 107 feet long and 24 inches wide. It was 8-ply thick and weighed over 2,000 pounds. A handsome calendar has reached us from the Lumber Under- writers' of 66 Broadway, NeAV York. It contains a striking picture of a fireman in an atractive color scheme, and the calendar block is de- signed both as to size and color, in a manner to make its usefulness as great as possible. The Fullerton Lumber & Shingle Company of Vancouver are look- ing at the bright side of business. They say that with the optimistic feeling that a "bumper" crop" is now assured, orders in general are becoming more plentiful, resulting in prices (with the exception of shingles) becoming firmer. Halifax lumbermen are complaining (so it is reported) of the want of preference or protection afforded them. Car loads of southern pine from Georgia and neighboring States are coming into Canada every day. This is sheer dumping. They have an anti-dumping law, but it oniy applies to dutiable goods, and lumber has no duty. British Columbia lumbermen are congratulating themselves, says the Minneapolis Lumberman, that they have no fights with the railways over freight rates; no catalogue house competition to contend with; no brokers to pay commissions to; no controversy over terms of sale, and no experience with the vexations caused by the cancellations of orders. May they ever be free from them. The John McDougall Caledonian Iron Works Company, Limited, have issued a bulletin, No. 105, on power plant equipment, which illus- trates and describes the apparatus and accessariies for power station plant which they produce. Among the apparatus described are the Erie City water tube boiler, the Erie City stationary boiler, the "Econ- omic" return tubular boiler, the Erie City "Counter-current" feed- water heaters, the Four Valve engine direct-connected type, the En- closed High Speed engine direct-connected type, the Knowles patent air pump and spray pipe condenser, the Deane triplex power pump, the Worthington boiler feed pump, and the Double Impulse water wheel. The bulletin will prove interesting to anyone in need of such apparatus. An attractive booklet upon boilers and accessories, issued by the Jenckes Machine Company, Sherbrook, Que., has reached us. The booklet describes the various products of the company and tells in a convincing manner of their excellent qualities. The Jenckes 'Company's facilities have recently been augmented by the erection of extensive branch works at St. Catharines, Ont. The product of the two shops includes horizontal return tubular, vertical tubular and locomotive type boilers for medium or high pressures, as well as steel penstocks, steel smokestacks, smoke connections, tanks, refuse burners, water towers, stand pipes, and all manner of steel plate work. The shops are equipped with the most improved machinery and are in a better position than ever to handle a large volume of business expeditiously. The company contract for complete steam power plants, including engines. Any one in need of such, products will do. well to obtain a copy of this booklet,
