Il BUSY PLANT.
Adams Gypsum Works Busy With
Rush ORDERS

One of the busiest, if not the bust
est industry in this section, is to be
found at Empire, where Mr. Adams
has his manufacturing plant for max
ing plaster from gypsum. A few years
ago the plant started with one retort
for refining and sine that time the ORR
for refining and since that time the ORR
ginal kettle has been enlarged ami
three added. The workmen are now
busy installing another kettle and
hope to have it in running order in a
few days.
The mill is driven by water power
furnished by the Mexican mill ditch.
The original wheel that turned the
stamps is also in use as is a part of
the old mill building. This is the only
mill on the river that is now turning
a wheel although the Comstock con-
tinues to ship its ores to Selby.
Since the building trades on the
coast have discovered that the Empire
gypsum plaster is superior to any
! that has ever been manufactured, III
J the west, the orders have continued
work ahead that can be desired. The
contractors state in their specificati-
ons that the Empire plaster is the one
that is required in their work.
During the cold spell and when the
railroad could not furnish the cars to
move the product several hundred
tons Of refined product accumulated
This, it WIS believed, would give the
factory a chance to get ahead of the
orders, but today the ware house is
cleaned out of material and all that
can be manufactured is called for.
The plant keeps a couple Of bi!
teams on the move. The quarry is at
out four miles from the plant and this
necessitates the employment Of teams
to keep the grinders busy. In orde'
to handle the business Mr.. Adams pur
chased his own horses and this !;
turn keeps a blacksmith going mos
of the time. When it is sized up
seems that the industry at Empire i
one of the big institutions of tn
country.
1t is understood that the other com
pany that is operating near the Adam
: plant is making ready for stead
shipments Of crude gypsum to Ala
media where they have establishe
their factory. Considerable crud
was shipped before the heavy storms
| but as the new plant was not finisf
ed and several changes had to b
| made it was found necessary to pos
pone shipping any more gypsum unit
the mill was ready for business. Be
tween the two plants there is ever
promise of some lively times on tn
river land at the quarry.

TOLD OF PAUL MORTON
Secretary Of the Navy and
His Admiration for Presid ent.
THE FAMILY AFFECTION
TRIBUTE OF FATHER TO MEMORY
OF WIFE AND MOTHER.
A Trait in Character Which Stands
for the Highest
Ideals.
Written for The Evening Star

Written for The Evening Star
From $4,000 to SIS, 600 Per year is quite a
cut in salary, and yet that is what the
newly-apponted Secretary of the United
States Navy has accepted in taking his
place in the Presidents official family. In
fiuenced more, perhaps, by the fact that hts
father, Julius Sterling Morton, sat in the
cabinet of President Cleveland. than any
other consideration including even the per-
sonal and insistent solicitation of the Presi-
dent, the son, Paul Morton, has temporarily
abandoned his brilliant career for the high
administrative office. That the father
should be member of a democratic cabi-
net and the son, reputed to have very re-
Gently professed faith In the republican
party, should be honored with a seat in the
republican cabinet, is also very interesting
coincidence.
Since the time when Roosevelt was presi-
dent of the civil service commission, and at
Washington met Paul Morton, the two have
been firm, fast friends and this more than
anything else explains why President
Roosevelt recently induced the Nebraskan
to enter his cabinet. 1t Is not known gen.
orally that about year ago, when the new
created, that Mr.. Cortelyou was not Mr..
Roosevelt's first choice for that portfolio
In reality the first man to be asked to NIL
that new position in the cabinet was Paul
Morton, and at that time he did not feel
that he could afford to take it. Again.
few months ago. President Roosevelt
preached the subject. and again he was
kindly but firmly refused MY specially
is cars" said Morton, and he did not know
just what kind of cabinet officer he would
make.
When Mr.. Cortelyou was slated for the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-07-16

craftsmanship of the republican national
committee by the President, he was again
thinking of Paul Morton for the cabinet.
Morton was then proffered the portfolio of
the navy, which he also refused after
conference with the President. Then the
Department of Commerce and Labor was
put at his disposal once more and again de-
clined. Finally President Roosevelt tele
graphed Mr.. Morton to come to Washington
on matter of the greatest Importance.
What arguments were used and what IN
ducements held out is not known. for the
President took no one else into his conf
dence, the correspondents even being mys-
titled as to which portfolio he was being
urged to accept. After a long conference
it was announced that Paul Morton had
been appointed Secretary of the Navy, and
a few days later he accepted the place.
He Liked His Chief Long Ago.
1t was while J. Sterling Morton sat in
Clevelands cabinet that Paul Morton re-
marked one day to a member of the family:
"Say, I like that man Roosevelt. whom l
met this morning. He said, I knew your
father and he was dead square man; am
glad to know his SON. And he's a good
fellow, I'm sure" From that time to the
present they maintained a strong friend
ship. Twice when Roosevelt went out to
meet the Rough Riders Paul Morton was
his companion and host, the presidential
couch being made In Morton's private car,
and the presidential eXuberance and en-
thusiaSm being uncorked In the palatlal
home on wheels of the now first vice presi-
dent of the Santa Fe railway system.
Nobody helped Paul Morton decide upon
the change in his career. His wife did not
wish to take the responsibility, and his
brothers deferred to him entirely. So the
millionaire railway man went into his prl-
vate office and determined for himself And
when he had decided he at once made
pilgrimage to Arbor Lodge, the colonial
mansion on an estate recalling the holdings
of the feudal lords of old there to see his
aunt Miss Emma Morton: his children and
his brothers. Joy Morton. president and
principal stakeholder of the International
Salt Company and reputed to be ten times
a millionaire, and Mark Morton also
member of the salt company and himself
large landholder.
1t may be that Paul Morton. Secretary or
the Navy, stole out in the twilight to stand
before the stone boulder containing beau
tiful pine tree from Pixies Peak and read
the words inscribed by his father:

TRACKLESS TROLLEY.
Novel Line Will Displace Horses on
Roads in Prussia

From the Electrical World.
\ trackless trolley line is being built by
the community of Monnheim, to be the
first of its kind in Prussia. 1t will run
from Monnheim to Langenfeld, and will be
about two and one-half miles long, with
two short branches intended for freight
ing purposes. The roadway from Monnheim
to Langenfeld is about twentythree feet
wide, with a good basaltic cover about ff-
teen in width, running almost in air
line with the exception of few curves. A
special continuance for coupling will be pro-
vided in order to keep an exact rut of all
the cars. The power will be conducted to
and from the cars by means of two rotary
poles placed on the top of the cars, and
sliding blocks enabling the train TO give
way from ten feet to twelve feet. For enter
ing farmyards lying close to the road there
will be used. instead of the regular wire, a
Connector and flexible cable fifty feet to
seventy feet in length by means of which
the current will be transmitted to the mo-
tor car. The trains will consist of an
electric locomotive for drawing two or
three cars, driven by two electric motors
of from 25-horse power to 40-horse power.
The conducting crew will have its place on
the locomotive. The cars for carrying
freight have a capacity of about five tons.
Some of the cars will be open and some
closed and all will be fitted with brakes.
Couplings will be provided for attaching
farm wagons.
