 hopes for in the movement to hold three
 million bales off the market at this time. State President W. H. Seymour has been very successful in getting pledges from Alabama counties to hold cotton along the line suggested by MT. Jordan and has already been assured of the sup ;, port of the men Of this state. He visited | several counties last week and the week 1 before and found that the people are 1 everywhere willing to help in the move l ment In fact it looks as if they would hold 1t anyway. no matter what the con- 1 ditions.

program was well carried out.
The faculty, executive committee and
orchestra occupied seats on the stage.
The entrance of the graduates was ar
ranged very effectively. At the head OF
the seats reserved for them were two gates
made In the class colors. To music from
the orchestra the ushers, Misses Marion
Hoyt and Lillian Taylor, marched from the
rear of the hall, opened the gates, took up
their decorated wands and returned TO the
rear of the hall where they met and escort
ed to the front the graduates, twelve In
number. The manner In which the orations
audeessays were delivered, and especially
the thought and sentiment contained IN
them, prove there Is sterling worth, nobfi-
ity of character and high aspirations among
the members OF the class of 1905. Imme-
diately following these exercises about 10
repaired to the Town hall, where under
the efficient management OF Mrs. w. M
Taylor, the Alumni banquet was served.
The menu left nothing to be desired. Inc
Post Prandial exercises with John M. Reo-
mond as POSTMASTER were very interesting
In a few we'll chosen words, Prof. Edge
comb welcomed the company. In a well
prepared speech, Colby Stoddard paid
glowing tribute to ssWoman." Aaron Il.
Circuit respo nded to the toast INFLUENTIAL
Men from Derby Academy" The toast
s'Our Schoolday Recollections at Derby
Academy was responded to by Col. q. nj.
Mansur, Miss Merritt, a former teacher
here and A. A. Silver, Jr. Very interest
ing indeed were the letters from former
teachers. Rev. Mr.. Frink, Hon. Frederick
Mott. Mrs. Nj. A. Rogers and others, read
at this time by DIR. Comings. E. o. Silver
next made an earnest appeal for the 10y
atty Fund and quite a substantial addition
to it was pledged at this time.
A delighted audience listened to the
concert Thursday evening. The Appleton
Ladies' Quartet and Mr.. Chas Grilley OF
Boston rendered an excellent program.
The music of the quartet was rendered in
fine, artistic manner and received great
applause. Without exception, every one
declares Mr.. Grilley fine. He captivated
his audience with his first selection and
was repeatedly encored; he is certainly a
man of great ability. The rain on Friday
p. m. brought disappointment to many, as
the ball game OF d. A. VS.. Alumni is always
looked upon with much interest. On ac
count Of the storm they were unable to
play the complete game but the Alumni
were ahead when the game was discontin-
ued. The reception given by the faculty
and graduates Friday evening was a very
pretty affair and fittingly closed the pleas
ures of the week. The halls were lighted
by large japanese lanterns, with very pleas
ing effect; punch and waters were served;
music was furnished by Young's Orchestra
of st. Johnsbury for promenading. At
the Alumni meeting held in the library
during the evening, the following officers
were elected for the coming year: Pres,
Harry Fl. Wilder; Sec., Miss Evelyn Moran;
Treas, Miss Bertha Comings. Elk. Com,
Messrs. George Wilder, Colby Stoddard
and Miss K'ice Clark.

commencement Week at Derby Academy.
The Commencement exercises at Derby
Academy so fttingly begun by the excel
lent baccalaureate sermon by Rev. s. @.
Lewis of Barton Lapding on Sunday, the
21st inst, have been very enjoyable and
instructive and unexcelled by any thus
far. Monday and Tuesday the examina-
lions we're held. For the past few weeks
the work of decorating the large hall has
been going on and certainly it was very
beautiful with ropes of evergreens, iestoon-
ing of crepe paper in the class colors, green
and old gold, ferns and other ported plants.
The class motto, Truth Conquers," occu-
pied a conspicuous place over the stage.
The prize speaking contest drew a large
audience Wednesday evening and the
program was rendered in q most praise
worthy manner. The gentlemen's prize
was awarded 10 Mr.. Guy Bartlett of Nor
gan; the ladies' first to Miss Bertha Kim
ney of Charleston and the second to Miss
Lena Orhndall. A new and pleasing
feature this yea was the Alumni Prone
made following the contest, the grand

Church was filed with people of this and
other towns, gathered to pay their last
respects to q loving friend. Mrs. j. Z.
Wentworth. Jane Foster was born In
Groton, June II, 1s4s. When quite young
she was married to Charles Pierce. and to
them were born son and daughter, the
former being found dead in bed when an

Pierce moved to this town, where mr..
Pierce soon died of consumption. Twenty
years ago she married John e. Wentworth,
who most Loyalty provided for his wife
and her daughter. After ten years OF
happy life, Mrs. Wentworth found her
daughter dead in bed from heart disease.
These sad experiences of life were great
shock from which her nervous system has
never fully recovered. She has suffered
much from heart trouble and kindred all
ments. About five years ago her health
began to be much impaired and at times
she has suffered beyond human endurance,
especially during her last Illness of ten
weeks. Yet through all she has been hope
full, cheerful and accomplishing. Every
thing possible was done for her comfort
and restoration. Mrs. Wentworth was a
sincere Christian lady, exercising her pro-
fession in kind and loving deeds for those
about her, loving and devoted wife,
thoughtful and worthy neighbor and
friend, and most hospitabIe In her home
A host'o of friends extend sympathy to the
bereaved husband and relatives, and with
them mourn her loss. The funeral SER

PORT ARTHUR Ontario.
I am at the nozzle of the great grain
funnel at the end of the hopper down which
Canada's wheat is pouring into the
boats of Lake Superior. The crop
amounted to more than a hundred million
bushels, and during the season a steady
stream of golden grain has rolled into Port
Arthur Here and at the sister city of Fort
William, four miles away. are some OF the
mhghtiest elevators of the world. These
are now packed almost to bursting. and
are closed up for the winter to await the
opening of navigation in April or May.
Port Arthur and Fort William are the
Duluth and Superior City of the Canadian
northwest. They promise to have an equal
business with those American grain ports
and at the same time to take the place OF
st. Paul and Minneapolis in the vast re-
gion now opening up above the interna-
tional boundary. Both have excellent har-
bors. Port Arthur is situated right on
Thunder bay. and Fort Williams Is four
miles away a little back from the bay, at
the mouth of the Kaministiquia river.
The cities are on the north side of Lake
Superior two or three hundred miles from
Duluth, and within about 400 miles of Win
nipeg the Chicago OF western Canada. At
both towns there is plenty OF water for the
biggest OF the lake steamers and a great
caravan of boats Is moving back and forth
between them and the east during eight
months Of the year. The ports already have
connection with the west by the Canadian
Pacific railroad and the new Canadian
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-12-30

a dollar a month per phone in residences
and two dollars a month in business
houses. At this rate We made profit OF
thousand dollars last year, after paying
our interest and sinking fund. We expect
to lower the rates in the future, and in two
years from now we shall be furnishing
residence phones at fifty cents a month and
business houses at one dollar month. We
are paying our hello girls twice as much as
is paid by the Bell Company for the same
service"
The Worlds Biggest Elevator.
During my stay here I have gone through
the wheat elevators They are among the
largest of the world. and that of the Ca
madam Northern at Port Arthur is equaled
by no elevator on earth. This ele
vator is built right out in the lake. 1t
consists of two mighty barn-like sky
scrapers, with a great forest of herculean
grain tanks between them. The sky-scrap-
ers contain machinery and some storage
tanks. The forest Is made UP of mighty
cylinders of tiles bound together with
steel. each of which will hold $4,000 BUSH
els of wheat There are a hundred and
sixty such towers, and in addition other
tanks made by the interstices among them
The great tank forest covers several acres,
and II rises to che height of an eight-story
house, each tank being twenty-one feet In
diameter or the width of average parlor.
The elevator altogether will hold 7,0oo,oO
bushels OF wheat, which is enough 10 sup
ply city of a million and half-Philadel-
phia, for instance-with -four the year
round It cost $1,500,0O0 to build, and 1t
can, I am told, handle wheat as rapidly
as any elevator on the great lakes.
The wheat comes in in cars, each of which
holds about a thousand bushels. 1t is car
ried in bulk and is dumped from the cars
into the Easements of the great build
tngs at the sides of the tanks. From
here 1t IS carried to the top of the
h1Iofy or fra vol INC
at the rate of $50 minute. or more than
ten every second. These buckets hold al
most a bushel, and there Is a continuous
stream of wheat running from the cars to
the top of the elevator. There it falls into
tanks which automatically weigh 1t, and 1t
Is then carried on by means of wide belts
into these storage towers.
The wheat Is not touched by hand from
the time it leaves the cars until It gets into
the hold Of the vessel. The machinery is so
arranged that by pressing button or
moving a lever a stream Of wheat can
be carried to any part OF the gran
airy. 1t flows just like water save that
the belts will conduct the stream uphill or
down at the will of the managers. These
belts are about forty inches wide and each
will carry wheat at the rate OF sixteen
thousand bushels per hour.
The tanks are SO arranged that by the
opening Of q pipe the wheat flows right into
the vessels. The work Is done so cheaply
that it costs only fraction of cent to
take a bushel from the car to the boats
and for Ave cents bushel can be
carried a thousand miles and more down
the lake and put into the hold of one Of the

are now developing, the water drops hum

the United States steel trust investigating
our possibilities. 1t wants plant in can

Port Arthur by Moonlight.
Speaking of the enthusiasm of the Port
Arthurite. the night 1 arrived I walked up
the street and entered stationery store.
While making a purchase l happened to re-
mark that the town was beautifully 10
Gated.
at is" said the clerk. Come with me
and I will show you one of the finest views
of the world just back of this store
Surprising it walk of a minute or
SO, 1 consented. The clerk grabbed his nat
and out we went. He tramped me two
miles UP the hills back of Port Arthur,
leading me on and on through one ragged
district after another, until / wondered
whether l had struck gold brick agent or
some other confidence man. AT last, when
we were out among the real estate signs,
he struck an attitude and exclaimed:
Behold Port Arthur
1t was moonlight and l could see here
and there ghost-like houses scattered over
the hills while down on the shore Of the
lake was the ragged skyline of the one and
the two-story business section running
along wide board walks, with the mighty
elevators beyond. on the edge Of the water.
1t was O. good moonlight view OF Thunder
bay but all told, was not worth the tramp
out into the country.
The Rival Cities.
Fort William and Port Arthur are rivals
Port Arthur was built first. 1t was started
by the Canadian Pacific railroad. but short
" after its birth the baby town decided to
tax that great corporation. This made the
railway people angry. and It is said that
Mr.. Van Horne now Sir William Van
Horne. decided to spank the infant Port
Arthur by making Fort William his lake
terminus He thereupon took away the
railway shops to Fort William, saying that
he would yet see the grass grow in the
streets of Port Arthur. For time the
grass did grow, but then the Canadian
Northern came in, and now Port Arthur has
the traffic of both roads. although the chief
business of the Canadian Pacific is done
at Fort William.
Fort William has the Canadian Pacific
elevators, with capacity of something like
