Work Progressing Well.

Under the supervision Of Thomas
Pecha the work of clearing and
breaking up land for the cultiva-
ton of sugar beets in this vicinity
progresses finely, and doubtless sew
eral hundred acres will be utilized
this spring for that purpose.

banks, the completion of " hich will

of Gilmore lake.
1t has been proven that the sage
brush lands of Snake river valley
will produce larger crops Of sugar
beets that contain more saccharine
matter than any other section of
the country where beet sugar cult
walton has been inugurated, and we
believe that with a proper system of
irrigation this valley could furnish
greater proportion of sugar beets
than any one State of the union.
that it presents better inducements
to cultivators of the soil for not only
beets but for fruits. g aims, potatoes
and vegetables generally than any
other section of the world. In the
matter of land, there are tho usands
of acres that can be obtained by To-
cation at government price, besides
other thousands that might be pur-
chased now at a nominal figure.
1t is only a matter of time when a
complete system OF water storage
will prevail in this valley, with or
without government aid, an d then
the fortunate landowner will be in
the swim, and the Snake river
empire will supply more saccharine
staple than the present output OF
all the cane-sugar raising states
combined. According to statistics
the total output of beet sugar last
year was four hundred mill ions Of
pounds, which is about 10 per cent
of all the sugar consumed in the
United States. California takes

We'll Cresceus and MT. George Ketchum neither of them handsome-but both rich in honest behavior will have shown the good people of Alabama what they are capable of doing before this reaches the readers. And, after all, there is more in the intoxication of the Idea than in the actual performance of very fast mile by a trotting horse. The fast mile by Cresceus only emphasizes the pos abilities of the beautiful 2-year-olds ex- hibted by Mir Garth of Huntsville and the Messrs. McCurdy of Lowndesboro; and if we are to judge from the stand point of breeding and inheritance, there were on the Birmingham fair grounds many colts by Re-Election that enjoy by that very right of inheritance the pros- pect for surpassing In beauty of conform ation and in marvellous speed, even the mighty Cresceus.

for the first heat smacked of something unusual to come in the next heat; yet few. even then, realized that the second heat for the glittering Gold Cup was to be the most spectacular event ever seen on the trotting turf.
 That Heart-Rending Heat.
 MT. Smathers knew that 1t was best for him to get away when The Monk was cold, and he indulged in some pretty coouetting but he seems to have been thwarted by the vigilance of those who had The Monks destfly. in hand. It must be remembered that both drivers were amateur gentlemen and not familiar with the scientific part of the trotting game though wonderfully artful in hand ling the reins. over these flying steeds. The word was given for the spectacular heat when both horses were fully ex- tended and racing at two-minute clip. As the pair rushed towards the turn It was discovered that Lord Derby had done the one thing which keeps him from be- l ing the most wonderful racing machine in the world--he had gone to a wild break and from which he only recovered after | Smathers had brought him almost to a standstill and The Monk was flying on his journey more than twenty lengths ahead, his driver knowing well his only hope for victory lay in opening up such a fearful gap that the flying Nemesis could not close.

peAsoDvs GREAT TENEMENTs.
Scheme of the London Houses Has
 Proved Wholly Successful.

From a London Letter
 The George Peabody fund for the erection of model lodgings for London workmen has this year testified with even unusual strength to the value of the Americans philanthropic gifts. Half a dozen model lodging houses built under the Peabody fund have just been completed. mostly in the suburbs of London. A bus driver de- scribed the comforts of life in a Pea body tenement the other day, remark ing: They're the best places in Lon don for such as us to live in. That's one good thing America did, and we gets 1t for shillings and 6 pence (s1.35) a week"
 MT. Peabody gave altogether two million-dollar fund, which has since his death been added to largely by the proper manipulation of the property and the rental of the buildings, which are let on an absolute business basis.

 days ago. we present view of the back of a bald head with expression. It is an interesting study from chronological point of view There are several tens of thousands of people who know this man personally and well. Probably 90 out of every 100 who read this know him. He has been in Birmingham and the Br- mingham district many years. He could almost be called veteran. Probably you can tell from the shape of his head whether he is bloated bondholder or working for $15 per; whether he is a preacher, lawyer, doctor. merchant, cap

The men who are trustees of the fund now and who take an active part in it's management are the Duke of De vonshire, Mir. Choate, the American ambassador; Lord Revelstoke, Victor Cavendish, J. P. Morgan, .Jr., as well as several additional Englishmen.
 Five thousand one hundred and twenty-one families are now occu. pants of buildings erected by an American's generosity. There are no other such buildings in England. The Peabody houses represent comfortable apartments, convenient baths and laundries, while they are surrounded by pleasant yards. The new buildings are to be opened with ceremony be- fore Christmas.

Joseph Weidelheimer of Wilmington,
was drowned on Saturday in ten inches of
water. He lived at No. GIG West Sixth

home on Friday night, and his body was
discovered on Saturday afternoon in

friends at the Bavaiian Brewery, but did
not tarry there very long.
