Loeb's Next Berth a Cause of Worry

A few years ago there was scheme
afoot to elect Mr. Loeb as president of
a Washington street railroad company.
He became greatly interested in the
matter, enlisted some financial friends
in New York and bought into the stock
of the road quite heavily. Ambitious
arguments were advanced regarding
what Mr.. Loeb could do for the road.
1t has to go before congress, session
after session, for tid-bits of legislation,
which are very essential none the less.
But senators. who have little liking
for the president. intimated that the
man who had served as the presidents
secretary would have a fine old time
persuading them to vote for his bills.
Therefore the owners of the street
railroad began quietly to lay plans for
side-tracking the Loeb presidential
idea, and about a year ago another
was chosen to head the street rail-
way.
Since then Secretary Loeb's name
has been mentioned in connection
with number Of good posts by pur-
veyors Of capitol gossip, but each
story has been in turn denied.
The latest report is that he will be-
come collector of the port of New
York after March 4.

Gossip of Washington
What Is Going On at the
National Capital.
Bright Scenes When President Entertains

and the military and naval attaches of
the embassies and legations.
Two great occasions on which the
White House is resplendent with the
gorgeous uniforms of the diplomats
and our own military and naval men
are the reception of the president on
January 1, when every member of the
calls to wish the president a happy
New Year, and about ten days later at
the diplomatic reception prescribed by
precedent, which is the first of a
series OF formal evening receptions
the president gives during the winter.
Upon numerous occasions. and al
ways at the White House, both the
head of the navy and of the army ap-
pear In their conspicuous full dress
uniforms, which are quite as rich as
those Of many of the foreign ambassa-
doris and ministers. Scarcely second
In brilliancy to the reception given by
the president to the diplomats is that
at which he is host for the army and
navy. when hundreds of the higher Of
ficers of both branches Of the service
attend in their gala uniforms.
The senior aids to the president,
who make all Of the presentations to
him at all entertainments and attend
him upon all occasions. practically live
in their Official regalia, while the
younger aids are almost daily called
upon to wear their best uniforms.
In fact, there is spIendor about
the Official social life Of the American
capital which is scarcely second to
that Of any court of Europe, and which
sets it apart from all other cities Of
the United States.

Plan to Pension Cleveland's Widow

drawn pension of $1,000 a year from
the government, and no money that
comes from the treasury is more
cheerfully paid. The first time a pen.
sion was ever suggested for the widow
of an ex-president was in the case of
William Henry Harrison, who died one
month after his Inauguration.
The death of Harrison appealed
peculiarly to the nation, and the sum
of $4,000 outright was voted her. She
lived to enjoy it's proceeds for a period
of 20 years. The second, Mrs. Tyler,
drew pension OF $1,000 per annum
for "a years. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln
was given $4,000 and an additional
pension of $4,000 per annum. Grants
widow also received $4,000 a year, as
did the widow of President Mckinley.
Most of the ex-presidents of the
United States died in advance of their
wives. although there are notable ex-
ceptions. Thomas Jefferson outlived
his wife A years, Martin Van Buren,

ECRETARY WILLIAM LOEB, JR..
- who has been serving the president
and the country at the White House
Offices for several years, is causing his
immediate friends more political anxi-
ETY. than any other prominent Repub-
lican of the hour. There is a time
honored tradition that retiring presi-
dent of the United States must take
good care of his secretary, mad it has
therefore been incumbent upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt to see Mr.. Loeb well
placed before he starts for the dark
continent.
But plans for placing Loeb have a
habit Of falling through, just why no
one seems able to tell. For, while he
has not gained the fame as secretary
to the president that Mr. Cortelyou.

denying that he has been very EN-.

Z INCLUSIVE of the capitol and con-
II gressional library grounds, the
union depot plaza and the botanical
gardens, the city of Washington
boasts more than 5000 acres in parks,
excluding nearly $50 triangles and cir
cles at street intersections and miles
upon miles of shaded asphalt streets
equal to the boulevards of many other
cities. The largest of all these parks
is Rock Creek park. This beauty spot
covers 1,605 acres Immediately adjoin-
ing the Geological park, which con-
tains III acres, and its natural COM
binations of rocks and streams. hills
and dales, trees and meadows go to
make perhaps the finest groundwork
of public park in any city in the
country.
1t will be probably hundred years
before the possibilities of this park are
realized to the full, including the
building of a boulevard down Rock
creek into the city of Washington,

way, now known as Potomac driveway
The River park, which reaches from
the capitol to the islands of the Poto
mac, contains in the aggregate 1900
acres, but does not represent an ANAL
gamated whole as does the Rock Greek
park.
In the northern portion Of the city
about mile eastward from Rock
Greek park and connected Herewith
by the old military road over which
union armies marched in the defense
of Washington, is the Soldier Home
park. Commanded by a group OF
white marble buildings erected on the
highest point in the city, the park
slopes toward the city over an extent
of 502 acres. Still another park
Analostan, in southeast Washington
where the river fats will some day
be one of the flower gardens of the
national capital, contains $40 acres
The last of the larger parks, also in
north Washington, is Tacoma park
containing 739 acres.
Other amusement places are the
Henry and Seaton parks of 32 acres;
Garfield park, "a acres; Judiciary
square, where is the pension office, 19
acres, and Howard University park OF
IL acres. Lafayette square, in front
of the White House on the north, in
which no trees or bush is duplicated,
contains six acres.

A SUGGESTION that the widow and
"A children of former President

Is being discussed informally by con-
gressmen. Many have declared them
selves in favor Of granting her one.
If Mrs. Cleveland is willing to &C

gress would be ready to vote it to her.
Although there is now no surviving

THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK
BUT DON'T NEED TO WORK NOW
so HARD.


The experience of the Bisser Bros
In Western Canada is similar to that
reported to every agent Of the Cana
dian Government, whose advertise
ment appears elsewhere:
"Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 9th, 1908.
ITO the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba-Dear Sir:
/, in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this coun-
try in the spring of 1893. At the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask.,
we had only few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
so We were compelled to work out for
a considerable time in order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tablish ourselves. When we thought
We had enough money to start with, I
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 acres) land each In the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteads with one team Of
horses and one walking pillow. While
was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built a shack and
barn Of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but / am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work SO hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady for
whOy,, MO pav ean m - exn nn =. ~.~xl
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of a
section and three-quarters Of the best
land. with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery. We always do our own
threshing. for we have a % horse
power threshing outfit.
Our success in farming In this
country also enabled us to get rid Of
number Of horses of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, / am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 35 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf-
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 81 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land. and by next year we will
have about LILO acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
shipped a few weeks ago we got a
price of 81 cents per bushel, and 1t
graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have a quantity Of wheat which will
surely go as No. 1 Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, so that we always
had good crop.
Il, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
q person who is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
a fortune, and comfortable living. /
Our country is thoroughly free coun-
try, and we have good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops, /
and a good Government, we are salts
ned, and l think that is all we want.
"Yours very truly,
'LORENS BISSER,

DR.. James NJ. Porter has removed his
dental offices and fixtures from Midland
to FrOstburg-a change made necessary
by increase of practice in a large section
of which Frostburg furnishes a more
central location. DIR. Porter has prac-
tised dentistry in Midland with marked
success about six years-all that period
growing in efficiency with experience.
The new rooms here are furnished in
pretty style with up-to-date equipment
in fact with all the cOnveniences and
appliances of modern dentistry. He is
a graduate of the College of Dental Sur
gerry, Baltimore, of the class of 1903,
and as stated, has since made good
IN his professional practice. Grand
son and namesake of the late DR.. James
NJ Porter he will be welcomed to Frost
burg by many who knew and loved "the
grand old man" who practlCeda kindred
profession here for 40 years, and died
lamented by every member of the com
munity. In this connection the Midland
correspondent of the Cumberland Times
writes, i'll part
Dr. Porter is not leaving Midland through
lack of practice but because he thinks he
can do much better in Frostburg. and will
also attend his patients in Midland. DR..
Porter is a popular and upright citizen of
Midland, and as a skilled dentist his work
has been very satisfactory, and his friends
in Midland and vicinity wish him and Mrs.
Porter success on their removal to FrOstburg.
