Mr. T. D. Fairfield, ol Cleveland, has
pnrokaaed tbe property looated on the bank
of Oil Creek, and known aa tbe Bartlutt
ReBoery, enlarged the refining oapacity
oonalderably. and darted the workf In full
blast. Mr. F. aa one of tbe Cleveland re
Soar bought out by tbe South Improve
meat Company, end while agreeing not to
engage In lb reluing business at that point
refund to go out ef tbe businesa entirely,
but turned bl footetepa toward Oil Creek,
lb natural refining point, and hit etarted
up the Bartlell wnrka aa above. When It
became known to the Combination that Mr.
Fairfield waa about to start up, a committee
of the boueet members of that vlrtuoui ring
who aald they'd ateal waited upon hiui
and made tbe request tbat If he waa bound

bis works. He refused to agree to anything
of the kind.
Had we more aucb men engaged In tbe

There has bem a great many things eld
about going West, within the last ft"
wee'us. Some said jestingly, others intrn
lloually. But when It la remembered tbat a
little more tbao a year ago man; parts 1
tbe West was suffering under one ol tbe most
destructive calamities tbe American coutU
nent ever witnessed, tbe destroying element
tbat ewept over miles of richly improved
country leaving thousands roofless and pen
nlleas, leveling tbo walls ol one of the
wealthiest uti'i most energetic commercial
centres In i'ie world, until there waa not one
stone left iion tbe top of another, and tak
ing Cuicuf.i as :t was tbeo and is tO'day(
li Is almoxt iucredable to think so much
has beeu Uuue In ao short a time. To think
that thirty thousaad magnificent structures
are already finished for use, making an av
erage of one each laboring hour for tbe entire
year, and many more in all stages of con
struction, giving employment to about sixty
thousand mechanics besides about aa many
laborers. Tbe Grand Pacifio Hotel occuplaa
an entire block in tbe heart of tbe business
centre, directly opposite tbe new Govern
ment Buildings, covers an area of one and a
half acres and has five hundred rooms for
guests. It is tbe largest botel structure In
the world, and will represent when finished
a total cost of two and a half million dollars
for ground, building and fixtures. When a
view is taken from Stale or Clark street of
about Due mile and a quarter square of
brown stone Ironts all chronicled eighteen
hundred and seventy two, tbe Inquiring
trawler from abroad will be led to ask bow
Is it this Is called a 'masbroom" a ''Oily

everybody is not going, some person must
