TO HEAD ENGL AND'S NAVY

Admiral Sir Arthur Moore, K. c. B., X. c. "
O., C. M. G., who will succeed Sir John Fisher
in October next as the active head Of the Eng
lish navy, is sailor who has risen to his pres
ent position by sheer hard work and competence
He is not spectacular person, like Lord Charles
Beresford or his immediate predecessor, Sir John
Fisher, but he has distinguished himself by al
ways doing the job that was given him in excel
lent shape and without any unnecessary fuss
and noise Patriotic Englishmen hope that his
advent at the admiralty will mark the end of
the petty personal and political jealousies which
have done so much harm to the service recently
Admiral Moore is now 62 years old. He en-
tered the navy in 1850, and was specially pro-
NOTED for his services during the Egyptian war

CALLS ATTENTION TO COUNTRY

geptina, has risen to remark that Americans
could get more trade with his country If they
only had ships sailing from New York some
other central point to Buenos Ayres AS it is
now, about the only way that American goods
can be shipped to Argentina is by way of Europe.
But four American ships visited Buenos Ayres
in 1908. Despite this handicap, the envoy says,
the residents of his land took nearly $50, 1000 900
of American goods last year. The total annual
trade is 5000 100000.

With Col. Georges PicQuart, alternately
Frances military hero and the target for her
opprobrium, fate has played a pretty game of
battledore A bureau clerk with a military rank
and title he became national character when
the Dreyfus affair at its height by suddenly
espousing the cause of that officer at the mo-
ment of his greatest unpopularity. AS a conse-
quence, Picquart was hated, cursed, threatened,
ridiculed. But history moves rapidly in la belle
France and public opinion between
tremes After lola and the courts of last degree,
Dreyfus was freed, whitewashed cheered and
promoted. Upon the national wave of reaction
his friends like Picquart rode to quick popularity.
Eventually it went far in the latter's case as
to make him minister of war in the cabinet of

BIG INDUSTRY

We're in Town
Today Z

one of the greatest industrial
enterprises ever landed in the
State of West Virginia was secured
by Fairmont today. The Owens Bot
tile Machine Company, of Toledo, Ohio
will build in Fairmont the largest
plant in the world. This plant will
be situated on the east side OF the
river on property donated to the com
pany by the MonongaheIa Industrial
Company.
Mr.. M. J. Owens, together with W..
S. Book, H. Wachter, S. Cochran and
w. Bergman, came To this city this
morning for the purpose of closing ne
uotfaticns with the Monogahela Indus
trial Company for a site for their pro-
posed factory. These parties, with
members of the Industrial Company
and their en- ngineer, went upon the
ground and agreed upon definite To-
cation for the site, which covers aP-
prcximateIy fifteen acres of ground.
This plant, when completed, will be
the LARGEST of it's kind in the world.
It will be known as the Owens Bottle
Machine Company and will give en-
pIoyment to several hundred people.
The building plans call for buildings
to cover ten acres Of ground They
will be rectangular in shape, 366 feet
wide and 1900 feet long.
Mr.. owens stated that it was the
intention OF the company to start the
work on the plant tmediately. the
buildings will be constructed of iron
and steel, with concrete bases. The
first fnstallnfent of buildings will cost
upwards of s25o.ooo.
The plant will manufacture all kinds
Of bottles to the extent OF which can
hardly be realized. 1t will easily turn
out from 100000 to 100000 gross of
bottles per year. q
It is Mr.. owens belief that the loea-
tion of this plant will bring to Fair
mont subsidiary factories OF Kin
dred nature, using the owens patent.
Mr.. Ovens reputation In the tinan
eiaI and business world is sufficient
guarantee of their ability both from
the standpoint of manufacturers and
from a financial standpoint to miTSe
good on all their plans. Mr. owens
and his people did not ask any bonus
and would not accept any.
We congratulate our people in nav
ina such a thoroughly capable man as
M. J. Owens to select Fairmont as the
location for his plant: 1t is the best
recommendaHo that Fairmont can
have.
