Following the death of former Gov.

paid a high tribute to his work in be-
half of the District. 1t was as follows:
THE Commissioners Of the District of
Columbia have learned with deep regret
of the death of Alexander r. Shepherd

aeroplane detachment will have something to occupy
their leisure time on such occasions. foremost among
the occupations planned is practice in telegraphy. ALI
of the men of the signal corps are expected to know
something of the practical side of ~telegraphy and this
accomplishment will be especially essential to the mem
bers of the a~eroplane detachment because OF the impor-
tant work In wireless and other ~telegraphy which the
United States army officers propose to carry on py
means Of airships and war balloons. In order to quahry
the men for this work, short telegraph lines have been
constructed at the College Park field, with sending and
receiving stations at opposite ends of the building and
at almost any hour Of the day members of the detach-
ment can be found at the keys at these stations.
How late in the autumn the aeronautical activities
will continue at College Park will be dependent OF
course largely upon the weather. The government mas
leased its aviation field until next March, with privilege
of renewal and in the event that the coming winter is
an open one it would not be surprising II work continues
off and on all through the winter. The men of the aero
plane detachment can be made comfortable in their pres
entent quarters, and the machine is well housed. Tne
experience which the members of the aeroplane detach-
ment are gaining will undoubtedly prove valuable in en-
abling them to take charge of the field when the next
international aviation meet is held in this country next
year as the result of the victory Of Glenn Curtiss In
France a few months ago.
1t will be remembered that the United States army
balloon squad did efficient work in connection with aero.
nautics at the Jamestown exposition and at the start OF
the great international balloon race at st. Louis. The
same proficiency could be expected of the army aero
planists in handling the machines at the meet next
year. Especially would they be qualified to render sucn
aid to the avaiators If the meet is held at the College
Park ground. Washington and Baltimore are now Co
operating theoretically for the selection of this territory
as the scene of the aerial freeforall Of 1910, and it Is
expected that one of the strongest claims for its selec-
ton will be found in the fact that Uncle Sam has ready
to hand at College Park an acceptable aviation neld
manned by soldiers who are thoroughly familiar not only
with local conditions but also with the technical side OF
aeronautics,

HAPPINESS IN ONES WORK
Only In Proper Employment Can
There Be Found the Real
Joy of Life.

The joy Of life is the Joy Of work
we'll done. Husbands love their wives,
but, oh, their work! Wives, notable
for housekeeping, for wise mother
hood, or the particular kind of social
helpfulness in which women so shine,
burn incense of affection to their
lords, yet have constant delight IN
their duties.
Many fortunate men fall into work
from the start which gets the warmth
of their heart as much as their
strength and MUSCLE and activity OF
brain. But there are far too many
who snatch at any employment and
End themselves condemned to tt.
They sweat and groau and so add to
their unhappiness, They butt their
fxeads against stone walls and then
/ wonder at the bruises.
Let's preach a bit. Il the work lis
mot to ones first liking try to make
it SO. Complaining will do no good;
sulking embitters. Put the best that's
i'm you In the Job, and! its dollars to-
doughnuts that the Job will pay you
back. 1t will grow easier and more
agreeable. n time a genuine liking
for it may be developed. And then
will come the best Of happiness.

But it was soon found by the swindlers that these
devices. like the green goods game, were rather crude
and almost equally unsafe. So to the education OF the
man who ran the half interest or employment scheme
was added a postgraduate course in high finance.
It came to be recognized by the swindling gentry
that there was nothing like a corporation when one
wanted to do a really safe and prosperous business.
Then, too, the corporation must have something some
where.
If it is a mining company it must have a hole IN
the ground. II 1t is a rubber or coffee company 1t must
have some sort Of concession from the Mexican or a
South American government, which 1t is always very
easy to get. If it is a cotton concern it must have a fence
corner somewhere down south.
These things are actually necessary in order to show
in court when the time comes that the men who have
taken your money have endeavored to carry out their part
of the contract and that they have failed is merely their
misfortune. For to fail in business is not necessarily a
crime.

SUGAR BEET
FACTORY HERE
is REPORT FROM WASHINGTON
Report That Capitalists Arc Talking
of Establishing IL Plant at North
Yakima and Another at Thorp.

Talk of a sugar beet factory in
North Yakima is revived. This time
the suggestion comes from the feder-
al capital, a Washington dispatch
saying:
According to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, lack of
transportation facilities in Oregon is
seriously retarding the development
of the beet sugar industry in that
state. oregon today has but one beet
sugar factory-that at La Grande.
Capital has been looking over the
eastern Oregon field, and several To-
calities have been found where the
growing of sugar beets on a large
scale would prosper If there were ad-
equate facilities for getting the beets
to a factory. But the almost utter
lack of railroad transportation is an
obstacle too great to be overcome in
most instances. The department re-
port indicates that there is prospect Of
the installation of a sugar factory at
Enterprise. though no details are Civ
en-, and the whole matter is still unde-
cided.
Washington, like Oregon has but a
single sugar factory at this time. That
one is at Waverly. There are num-
Der of places in eastern Washington,
however where the building of sugar
factories is seriously contemplated
among them North Yakima, Spokane
and Thorp. The department reports
that companies have been formed; in
some cases contracts have been made
with the farmers to grow sugar beets;
considerable capital has been sub
scribed; concessions have been tenta-
lively secured from towns, such as
free building sites. remission of taxes
for a period of years and other privi-
leges. All these projects are simply
awaiting development of more onDor-
itr,. conditions.

BEGIN HIGH LINE SURVEY
Temporary Postponcmcnt of Wapato
Project Causes Government Engin-
GERS TO begin Preliminary Survey.


The temporary postponement by the
government of the Wapato irrigation
project in the lower Yakima valley,
has released a crew of ten govern
ment engineers, who will be detailed
to. duty in making the preliminary
survey of the High Line ditch, the
Kittitas county project which has
been hanging fire for years. The crew
is in charge of T.. r. Baldwin, who is
now on the ground, and it is expected
that the first steps in the work will
be completed by the fifteenth of Oct
ober. Kittitas county farmers are CO.
operating with the government in the
initial work.

The completion of the High Line

thousands of acres of land in upper

The completion of the High Line

which the farmers of Kittitas county

for the project, but until six months
