ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES,
Beacon Lights For Mariners Coeval
With the Earliest Commerce,

Beacon Lights For Mariners Coeval
With the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to a safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earli-
est commerce. There is positive record
that lighthouses were built in ancient
times, though few evidences now re-
main to us from old writer's or in crllm
bled ruins. This is not strange, for light
towers, never the most stable architec.
tural form, were exposed to the storms
of sea and war.
The Greeks attributed the first light
houses to Hercules, and he was consid-
cred the protector Of voyagers. 1t Is
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses in the nineteenth book OF
the ''Iliad."
Virgil mentions a light on a temple
to Apollo which, visible far out at sea-
warned and guided mariners. The Co.
lossus at Rhodes. erected about 300
B. c., is said to have shown a signal
light from its uplifted hand.
The oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans in lower Egypt They
were temples also, and the lightkeeper
priests taught pilotage, photography
and navigation. The famous tower on
the isle Of Pharos at Alexandria, built
about 2S5 B. c., is the first lighthouse
of undoubted record This tower, con-
structed by Sostratus, the architect,
was square in plan, of great height and
built in offsets. An open brazier at the
top of the tower contained the fuel for
the light. At Dover and Boulogne, on
either side of the English channel, were
ancient lighthouses built by the Ro-
mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna,
Spain. built in the reign of Trajan and
reconstructed in 1884, is believed to be
the oldest existing lighthouse.

NO NEED
OFGOLF
IN PARK
Citizens Oppose Establish
ment of Links at Expense
of the Public.

Declaring the need Of establishing
public golf course to be wholly
insignificant in comparison with the
reclamation OF the Anacostia fats,
Charles II. Burr. on behalf of the
Anacostia Citizens Association has
addressed a protest to the District
Commissioners against their con-
structing. at public expense, a golf
course and athletic field in Rock
Creek Park.
Secretary Burr states that the asso-
citation went on record at its last meet
ing as being irrevocably opposed TO the
establishment OF such a project. 'e=-
peciaIly while there are so many things
of Importance requiring attention, among
others the reclaiming OF the AnacOstia
fats"
The work OF laying out the new golf
course is now being done by the chain
gang under the direction OF officials OF
the Engineer Department. While the
Commissioners recognize the Importance
OF such a big project as the reclama-
ton Of the AnacOstia fats they state
that the construction of the golf course
is being done with little or no expense,
and for that reason IL should not be
held up on the score OF extravaganza.

A dispatch from Carlsbad, Eddy coun-

man, for whom grave fears had been
entertained that he had perished in a
blizzard, has returned from his hunt
for big game in the Guadalupe noun
tains. Judge Freeman was rescued from
the blizzard by James De Moss. a noun
tain sheep rancher.
De Moss relates that Judge Freeman
had an extremely trying time for a man
Of his age. having been confined in A

Of the blizzard. until Tuesday afternoon
without food, fire or water. He suf-
feTed greatly. The whole hCnting party

The snow was banked ten feet high

Finally, on Tuesday afternoon, the
Judge arose and ventured forth. He
was almost exhausted from the cold and
stalled in deep snow when he was found
by De Moss and taken to the latter's
ranch, some miles away from the hunt
ing camp. During all that time Judge
Freeman's family had no word from
him, and did not know whether he was
dead or alive.
Judge Freeman went to Carlsbad
about sixteen years ago from Washing

For some days Secretary Wilson has

SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT.

Secretary Taft, in his great speech
at Bath, Maine, said among other
things, that if the voters of the Unit
ed States approve of the war on the
illegal trusts they will elect a Re-
publican congress to uphold the pres
ident's policy. If they do not approve
of the fight on the trusts they will
elect Democratic congress. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has also shown the
necessity of electing Republican
congress to aid him in carrying on
successfully his reform measures. 1t
would be easy enough to place OBJ
structiOns in the presidents way in
order to rob him and his party of the
credit of carrying on the reforms de-
manded by the people A Democrat
ic house would be controlled by party
expediency. 1t would be fighting for
advantage two years hence. 1t might
assume radical position in order to
defeat sane legislation with the in
tention of hedging if placed in full

done this before. 1t is deception and
fraud which the voters should guard
against second time. To do this
every Republican and every voter in
Fergus county who is with the presi-
dent in this fight should vote for
Republican congressman and Republi-
can legislative candidates who will
vote for a United States senator in the
coming legislature, to succeed w. A.
Clark, and who will occupy the seat
vacated by him on the 4th of next
March.
The Importance of this will occur
at once TO every intelligent and fair
minded man. If he desires to sus-
tain President Roosevelt in the work
he has begun and clearly mapped out,
his duty at the polls is plain and
unmistakable.
