The Thomas B. Jeffrey Company
Decides to Build another
Plant Soon.
WILL NOT CHANGE PLANT HERE
Will Get Ont New Type of Machine
at the New Plant and the kenOsha
Factory Will Take Charge of
All Present Models.

The Thomas B. Jeffrey company is
considering plans for the erection of
a new factory but it is stated on the
authority of the managers of the
plant that the new factory will not
be erected in Kenosha but rather at
some other city probably in the east
ern part of the country.
This decision is not caused by the
fact that the Jeffery company does
not consider Kenosha an excellent
town as manufacturing center but
the managers of the company are now
experimenting on new model and if
the experiment is success Mr.. JEFF
ferry is desirious of having another
plant in some other city for the man
ufacture of this model. All of the
other models of the Jeffery machines
will continue to be made in Kenosha.
The plans of the company are still
in embryo and the announcement of
the plan to open new plant which
was made by one of the leading trade
journals this week is decidedly prema-
ture.
eve may or may not decide to build
this proposed plant said Charles
Jeffrey when seen on Saturday even
ing, "but in any event it will in no
way effect the business done at the
Rambler factory in this city. We are
doing some experimenting on new
type of car and should the expert
ment prove success we may see fitto
build plant in some other city for
the manufacture of this type. It is
surprising how fast these reports of
new factories get around, for while
the little notice Of our plans was pub
1ished only short time ago and then
only in trade journal weahave re-
ceived many propositions from cities
in different parts of the country look
ing to the location of the plant One
of the first cities to make proposi-
ton to the company was ST. Paul and
another was Louisville whichsoffered
to give the company five years exemp-
ton from taxes if the plant was
located in that city. These offers can
not be considered until we have made
a definite decision as to what we are
going to do"
The fact that many cities are seek
ing this new plant shows the high es-
innate that is placed on Mr.. Jeffrey as
a manufactures by other cities. Any
city which lands Jeffrey plant will
be decidedly fortunate and Kenosha
people should appreciate the fact that
the plant of the company in this city
is doing quite little for Kenosha.
The action of other cities in seeking.
this plant, should be a lesson to- Keno
sha business men. 1t is high time
that this city had some sort of an or
ganization to get out and work for the
location of factories in Kenosha. In
short time, with work of the right
sort, this city could be made one of the
grandest industrial centers on the
lake shore.

George Ho1derness, son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. Ho1derness of this

home at 1900 Indiana avenue after the
shooting, by the police of the 22nd
street station, where he is now
resting easily. Although the wound
received by Holderness is very pain
full one, it is not considered danger
Gus by the physician in charge of the
case, and unless unforeseen comp1ica-
tons set in he will be about as usual

MAJOR MUsCovTTE, POT, THE GREAT PAGER were confined to the half mile tracks. It will be conceded that only a horse of great vitality and wearing power, and one perfectly trained and man aged, could have done so much.
 The horses that beat him during the season were all, without exception, holders of faster records than he Little Squaw, 2:O411a; Anidrosis, 2:O51L ; Frank Yoakum, 2:O55a. and Terrace Queen, 2:O6.
 Muscovite is a smallish seal brown, extremely neat and bloodlike, and SC clean gaited that he requires no hob bles and almost no boots. His legs are perhaps his best point. They are slim and deerlike, but of such steel and whipcOrd texture that today, after scores of hard fought races, including a long array of very fast heats, they are still as clean and free from blemish as a colts. The horses that reach their sixth campaign in such shape. as to underpinning, are few and far be- tween.
 Of preference the Major has of late seasons kept closely to the half mile tracks, which, 1t has been found, he can negotiate so well that he outclasses. at their game, most pacers with records from three to four seconds faster than his. Still both his races on mile tracks last year were clever victories. He has not been seen on the grand circuit fer several seasons now.
 Both the past spring and that of 1904 Major MuscOvite was prepared at Bal timOre, and his performances, together with those of numerous other horses, make 1t evident that there are few bet ter training grounds, either for a horse that it is desired to bring to hand early or otherwise, than the Monumental City.
 Star Pointer was prepared there by Dave McClary the season of 1891 A when he immortalized himself by plac ing the harness record below two min utes for the first time in history.

Major MaScOOite.
Great Carer Of the Veil Knoqpn Pacing Cam
 paigHsr.

Chicago has claimed a paeer for a number of seasons past that has been always a noted and not seldom sen. sational one. This is the brown stai. lion Major Muscovite, POT, by MuscO vite, 21S-Baby. by Uwharie. owned by Eugene Sullivan. and already this season the spot light of prominence glare of its effulgence.
 The reason is that at Baltimore re gently he won the free for all pace from Frank Yoakum, 2:05l2, and paced the first heat over the half mile track at the Gentlemen's Driving park in 2.0S1t. This is far the fastest milt raced by a harness horse so far in 1905 and for a two lap track so early in the season it is a truly remarkable per formance, especially for a horse whose best record is but 2:07 over mile track
 Major Muscovite is now nine years old and has been before the public since he was three. It was as four year-old that he first became q pacing star. That season Dick McMahon cam paigned him through the great west. ern circuit with brilliant success. He captured the 5000 annual pacing stake at the Minnesota state fair al Hamiine, a rich event at Dubuque, la, and numerous other good races and re tired the heaviest winning pacer in the west for that season.
 The next year Dick tackled the grand circuit with him, and he showed well, but the extremely fast record that he had made forced him into a class re- n,ete with sensational horses-amOnG them Dan Patch himself-and he was unable to repeat his previous years successes. The next year he also per formed on the ''big ring and was giv. en his present record of POT at Read vile. Mass, by McMahon in a race which he won at long odds.
 In 1903 the Major was placed in the hands of Dan Clippinger, who still has him. The pair seem to' hook up to gether with degree of compatibility that Is near perfection, and between them they have done a long series of remarkable things. Their campaign Oi last year has seldom or never been ex- ceiled. It began at Baltimore in early June and was prolonged until Novem- Der.
 During the course of nineteen weeks Major Muscovite started in eighteen races, of which be won thirteen, was second in four and fourth in the re maining one. He covered a range of territory reaching from Baltimore north to Lewiston, Me, and west tC Titusville. Pa, and when he reached Chicago in November had travelled over 10000 miles to fill his various en- agreements, which. with two exceptions

EDDIE LANNON'S CROUCH-READY TO DE
 LIVER HIS LEFT.
 They stood breast to breast, each with his head to the others shoulder, and slugged for all that was in them. Han lon was the stronger and forced Cor bett around the ring, landing frequent ly on the stomach. He fought Corbett against the ropes and had him at his mercy. Corbett came very near going of the platform, but staggered back to the center of the ring. The round closed with both men on their feet, with Corbett all but out.
 Abe Atten does not concur In the general opinion that Battling Nelson would have tenderly tucked him away In another round or two during their recent scrap. AttelI says: q tried to knock him out, but he outweighed me too much. But be never had me even on the outskirts of Slumber City. If Nelson thinks be has it on me, let him take me on for twenty rounds at 128 pounds, o'clock, the weight he made for Young Corbett. I'll bet $1,OOO on the result. Hell find out then whether I'm only a six round fighter"

LAS VEGAS SANITARlUM
Description Of Hone For Patients Suffering From TUbGF
 CuIOSiS- Cost Will Be Placed at the Minimum

board of trustees representing the fra ternal societies of the United States, without consideration, upon the condi- ton that a tuberculosis sanitarium shall be established and permanently maintained here. If the plan should be abandoned or the property used for abyotheT purpose it is to revert to the railroad company. The gift of the Santa Fe company includes 1000 acres of land, which, with improvements de- scribed, is appraised at $1,000,0O0.
 In addition to this, and on the same conditions, the citizens of Las Vegas present 10000 acres of land adjoining the railroad property for the use of the sanitarium.
 In the neighborhood of the MOnteZu- ma Hotel, upon these lands, will be erected d series of camps, with sani- tary tents of the most improved pat terms, at attitudes varying from 5000 to 1000 feet, so that the patients may have the benefit of the elevation best suited to their needs. This city of tents, for accommodating about J,000 people, is LOW being laid out by Col. Buzzacott of the United States army, a specialist n lung diseases and sanitary engineer. They will be constructed on military lines, with the most perfect sanitary arrange ments possible, and will be under mil itary regulations. The tents will be of different sizcs-some of them large enough to accommodate a family, and suIaller ones for individuals. The several camps will be connected by telephone and each will have police and sanitary inspectors and patrCl.
 The outdoor cure" will be applied except in delicate cases. A corps Of physicians will be on duty at all times.
 The first of the camps will be ready for several hundred patients on the first of October. and the institution will formally open at that date. Ap- plications for admission must be made through the officials of the co-operat- ing fraternities, and should be sent to the general secretary, C. F. Hatfield. St. Louis. Most of the work about the place will be done by the patients, and as the disease attacks all trades and classes it is probable that they will furnish farmers. dairymen, car penters, cooks, clerks, walters. me chanics of all kinds and as many la borers as will be required. In the employment of help, preference will al ways be given to the patients, and the merit system will be enforced.
 The object of this sanitarium is to check the great white plague and to eliminate diseases of the lSngs, so far as possible, from among the members of the benevolent organizations, by providing a place where they may find climate and treatment necessa- ry for their cure, with the greatest ad- yantages and at the lowest cost; to furnish homes and employment for consumptives of small means; to maintain place where destitute vic times of tuberculosis may be cared for and cured at a 'linimun cost; to reduce contagiOn in our cities and towns, and to restore to health and activity as many as possible of those who can not be cured under the condj liens under which they are living.

4 HanIOn Boom.
Young Corbett's Vanquisher n .- Line For Nelson and
 Britt.

The decisive defeat of Young Cor bett by Eddie Hanlon, the rising young featherweight, has given the latter's stock big boom.
 Many experts believe that Hanlon is the lad who will defeat Battling Nel son and Jimmy Britt Although he is lighter than either Nelson or Britt Hanlon has a remarkably heavy punch and endurance to spare.
 Eddie Hanlon fought Young Corbett to a standstill during the last few rounds of their twenty round contest in San Francisco and got a Eard earn ed decision from Referee Homan at the end of the twentieth round
 The fight was an exciting one from start to finish. During the first part of the contest Hanlon had a slight ad- vantage. but no harm was done to ei- ther man until the eleventh round. Then Hanlon rushed Corbett 10 the ropes. but the Denver man stalled Hanlon of and blocked number of stomach punches. Corbett got to the center Of the ring and in a mixup put left and right swings on Ianlon's jaw.
 Hanlon went to his knees and took the count of nine. He came up fight ing, and, in spite of COrbett's strenu- ous efforts 10 put him out, he finished the round strong For the next four rounds Corbett went at his man and in the thirteenth had Hanlon very tired. Hanlon braceJ up in the four tcenth and seemed to have a slight margin over Corbett. The sixteenth round was Corbett's. The seventeenth was Hanlons round The eighteenth was about even, although Corbett had a shade the better of it at the end. The nineteenth and twentieth were all Hanlon's All during the nineteenth he stood up close to Corbett, pounding away at the Denver boys stomach. ~Cor5ett was tired and could not hit back.
 In inc twentieth Hanlon came up strong and went right at his man.

DRILLING FOB FORMATIONS


 One of the least pn1 stood, hut by no means the least important features involved in the constructor If large irrigation project, is the wo:6 of drlll- ing parties making underground in vestigations to determine the ci,ars C. ter of the formations upon which dams and other structures are 10 be erected. While the use of the irill is of the utmost importance in deter mining the location of dams, it is also essential in ascertaining the charac- ter of soil in reservoirs, in tunnel and canal construction, and in sinking wells. Without a knowledge of the depth 10 bed rock and the nature of the formation, no contractor would bid upon the work. It is not safe to rely upon surface indications, and even an experienced geologist finds himself at fault when endeavoring to predict the character of river bed for nations. In each of the great Ma tional projects this work is necessarily preliminary to actual construction, and frequently upon the results of the bor- ing rests the feasibility of the project itself
 The drill outfit is of two kinds. one operated by steam power, the other by hand The latter is used in re gions remote from transportation and wherein fuel is not obtainable. As the reservoir and dam sites are usual ly located in inaccessible mountain canyons. far from railroads, the hand drill is generally used in connection with reconnaissance surveys and pre- liniinary studies of the project, as it can be packed on the backs of horses and transported over mountain trails or lowered into deep canyons.
 The drill consists of a steel bit screwed on the end of a hollow tube. The drill chops down through the soil and loose material, which are forced upward in the casing by passing a stream of water through the tube. The casing follows the bit as it penetrates downward. On enccuntering bould- sr or other material which retards the passage of the casing, the rod and casing are lifted. charge of dynamite is set off and the obstacle removed. When rock is met with, a circular bit is used in which are inserted 6 or g black diamonds or carbon. The TO- tary motion of the bit grinds the rock and the core comes up through the bit into the barrel to which the latter is fastened. On the bottom of the barrel just above the bit is what is called the core shell, with a split ring in it. both shell and ring being cone shaped. On pulling out the bit the ring slips down and closes, thus preventing the core from falling out.
 Samples of earth are kept in four oz. bottles, the same dimension as
