YESTERDAY'S JOY TODAY IN RUINS
Vast Eipoillloi City Which Heqalred
Three lean to linlld Klekea.
Ovrr Like m Hoik f
Cardi.
The feast Is over, the lights extinguished
and the music stilled. In the city of Joy
mid light and music there is naught but the
silence of desolation.
Its stately palace closed, tho circling
avenues no longer echoing to tho tread of
the world's admiring throngs, the great
Ivory City of the World's fair, which for
seven bright months charmed the world. Is
now like unto a house where death Is.
Long; before tTSe exposition had crossed
the peak and gone down Into Hie shadows
on tne other side of the hill there were,
many who rubbed their palms In ghoulish
anticipation.
Theso were the wreckers, the men who
rear theso stately palaces will lay them
low and picking over the ruins will select
those puns which will bo salable In the
market.
One of the tragedies of the many of this
mammoth exposition Is the contemplation
of what an Insignificant sum the bones or
the fallen giants will bring. The bids sub
mitted on the salvage of the great fair
showed how very little the exposition man
agement can expect to realise on the enor
mous amount of building material that
went Into the mammoth palaces.
A vast and fair city that cost the labor of
countless men and artisans for nearly three
years to upbuild, that required whole
forest to- supply the material nnd the
steady efforts of an army of men, the high
est in their profession, to plan and com
plete, will be kicked over like a house of
cards In a day, and the material which cost
millions will go for a song to the wreckers,
I.ltr a Dream.
Statistics of material that went Into the
building of the World's fair city In the
bigness of their figures sound like tho stuff
that dreams are made of Hut the wreck
ers do not take this Into their calculations.
They reckon on the utter valuelessness of
all these vast amounts of lumber and steel
to the builders of the exposition, now that
their task Is done and the fair city Is to be
no longer a show place Tor the millions.
In the construction work of all kinds on
the World's fair grounds. Including the ex
hibit, state and foreign pavilions, Tike
buildings, bridges. Booths, towers and even
the foundations of the lagoons and cas
cades, there Is from 75,000,000 to 90,000,000
feet of lumber.
There are besides many tons of steel and
Iron, all In condition as stood as new.
The staff, of which thore Is a quantity
sufficient to pile It mountain high, is ut
terly valueless now save for making fills.
Of doors, sills, windows and window
sashes there are enormous quantities, and
all of this la In tho best of condition and
salable.
The total cost of tho lumber was perhaps
not less than "$14 OOO.fjoo. The total cost of
construction on The World's fair grounds,
counting everything, was probabaly $25,-
ooo.ooo.
The total cost of wrecking and removing
all of this material from the grounds to
clear the ground and make way for the
restoration of the tark. will be an Infinitely
small proportion ofthat amount. The total
amount reallied from the salvage of all
this vast quantity of good bul'dlng material
will be a very small proportion of Its cost
also.
The cost paid for the ephemeral beauty of
the exposition will thus be seen to be enor
mous until the philosopher stops to reckon
the enduring- benefit of which It has been
the price.
To clear the site of the scores of great
buildings which It took years to build nnd
to restore upon that site a park which was
utterly effaced by the building- of the Tvory
City, the law allows but the brief space of
twelve months.
It Is prnbnhle that whoever may under
take the task of dismantling- the buildings
now on the World's fair may lease a tract
of ground near the exposition site, whither
xne material win do nauiea, 10 ne sortea
and classified for the market. It will re
quire a considerable tract to store all of
the material put Into the buildings whloh
dotted a site of more than 1.200 acres at
frentient Intervals.
What Is to be done with the staff, ones
so effectual In adding beauty to the noble
outlines of the palaces, but Its usefulness
and beauty all gone. Is a question. After
It has been stripped from the palaces It Is
absolutely useless for any construction pur
pose. It cannot be used again In making
staff, and Its only future Is to be dumped
Into a hollow to make a fill.
The very else of the exhibit palaces will
militate In a measure against a price belns
secured for their construction material that
shall be commensurate to the cost of con
struction, because the very work of wreck
ing them will be great.
With the state buildings and the smaller
structures, however. It will be different.
Their site will mnke It possible In many
cases to remove them In sections and to
set them up again In their original shapa.
The state RnlMlnira.
According to the terms of their contracts
with the Louisiana Purchase Expedition
company, the various state commissions
must remove their respective pavilions at
the World's fair within sixty days after the
close of the exposition.
Not only must the buildings be torn
down and every vestige of the structure
removed, but the grounds surrounding must
be placed in tha same shape they were
before the work of erecting the structure
began.
Many of the state pavilions have already
been disposed of, some to remain In and
near St. Louis, others to be sent to the
atute they represent, while others will be
used as summer homes In various ports of
the United States, having been purchased
for that purpose by Individuals. Wrecking
companies have bought a few of the build
ings for tha material they contain, and
most of those now unsold probably wil
be sold for wreckage.
Furnishings of many of the state build
ings will adorn St. Louis homes. For sev
eral weeks nien and women of this city
have been making pu-xhasei of the furnish
ings, and much has been disponed of. The
prices realized for the furniture have been
satisfactory to the commissioners, and
very little has been sacrificed.
Purchasers Remove Buildings.
Purchasers of the state buildings assume
the obligations of the statu to remove them
and to restore the grounds, which, in a
measure, accounts for the comparatively
mall prices they have brought. Buyers
of furnishings must also remove their ar
ticles, paying- for the packing and express
charges.
The highest price paid for any of the
state buildings was $3,500, which was given
for the Rhode Island pavilion, by John
Rlngen of St. Loui. Mr. Rlngen will
move the structure to his country place
on Crev Coeur lake. The building cost
127,000. The Oklahoma building, represent
ing an cutlay of $13,420, will be used as a
clubhouse for the Elks lodge in El Reno,
and old fur $t,000i A similar sum was
cuied by the Maine commission for its pa
vilion, which cost $24,000.
The Nevada building was sold only yea
terdajr to Qeorge R. Robin on of ab Louis,
who will have It removed to his place at
Klrkwood. The consideration waa K",
the original cost $6.ono. Kirk wood will also

Gratz purchasing It for 11.000. The build
ing cost Ij.OO. The furnishings 'will be re
turned to Portland and used In the state
building at the Lewis and Clark exposi
tion. The Georgia building has been sold
to a St. Louis realty company.
The Wisconsin building, which won a
gold medal, probably will remain In St.
Louis. If the structure shall be allowed to
remain In Forest park, as a home for the
Young Men's Christian association. The
Wisconsin commission Is undorstood to be
willing to donate the building to the Toung
Men's Christian association, if permission
can be secured to allow It to remain as It
Is. The building cost $!5.0"0.
