statements without due thought says
he is satisfied that 100, 900 feet of
sawed lumber passes through Cheswold

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 20. 1903
PLANT CANE NOW.

All who are interested in the sug-
ar industry in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley should be interested in an ar
ticle elsewhere in The Herald today,
calling attention to some facts that
are of great Importance to such per-
SONS. These facts, briefly stated, are
as follows:
Persons wishing to start perma-
nent cane fields here may save a
whole years time by planting at
once.
1t is not too late to plant now.
Cane may be planted with good re-
suits here any time between now and
March 1 to 10.
Cane raised in this vicinity was
not injured by the late low temper
AZURE. either for grinding or for
planting. Louisiana sugar experts,
who have just made a careful inves-
tigation of the crops here give assur-
ance of this fact.
Seed cane may be obtained on the
sugar plantations near Brownsville
Planters on these plantations are
themselves busily planting an in
creased acreage of this same cane,
which fully proves their confidence
in the foregoing statements.
That sugar is destined to be the
great staple of the valley, The Her
aid has often asserted. Not only
does sugar-cane give much better
results here than anywhere else
in the United States, but it can be de
pended upon. at conservative estl-
mate to produce a profit of at least
S10O per acre. This consideration
is sufficient to induce any who can
do so to plant a cane field, even
though it takes a year to get results.
Sugar-cane will pay handsome profits
here. and it is only question of
time when this industry will be one
of the most important in the entire
valley. The sooner a start is made,
the earlier the results may be expect
ed. Therefore, plant cane now.

Bird, the length of the fight being cut
short by the breaking of guy wire.
Mr.. Newman'S aeroplane exceeded all
expectations in the test given, re-

as necessary to accomplish prolonged
flight. A machine will be completed
ready for field test in about eight
weeks and will be thoroughly tried
out at Brownsville. p A. Newman,

son is acting as trustee for the other
stockholders.
Prentiss Newman, the man who is
to construct the Brownsville airship
and make the first fight in it. this
morning spoke enthusiastically about
the project He feels confident that
with the machine which he proposes
to construct in this city, he can east
ly beat the world record for the
length of a single flight in the air.
The record made by the Wright craft
is two hours and ten minutes.
Mr.. Newman said today that his
aeroplane would be built along lines
similar to the Wilbur Wright ma
chine, except that he would have a
plane that would automatically con-
troll the stability of the machine,
which is something no other ma
chine heretofore built has had This
machine he says, will measure 80
feet over all, and will be constructed
of anchor steel and canvass, and be
equipped with a IS power gasoline
motor, and will weigh 210 pounds. 1t
is to have a capacity for two passen-
gers and there promises to be a con-
test for the honor of being the second
passenger on the first flight. The
machine will have two planes meas
uring SX10 feet and placed about "
feet apart. 1t will be equipped with
two propellers The steering mech
anism will be controlled from the
rear. while the mechanism which will
H4 ri
downward will be controlled from
the front
The center of gravity will be placed
lower than in other areoplanes, which
Mr. Newman states will also have a
tendency to give it automatic stabil-
ity The two seats for passengers
will be placed we'll forward in the
machine
AS stated Mir. Newman made a trial
flight in one of his machines some
time ago but, owing to the breaking
of the guy rope, the machine after
rising to height of about 20 feet, and
being up in the air about 80 seconds
planes. Mr. Newman states that he
did not expect to make a successful
flight with this machine that it was
only trial to find out just where
the weak points of his machine were.
All who saw him make this trial
flight stated that it was one of the
most successful trial nights ever at
tempted. The aeroplane used in San
Antonio was tOwed by an automobile
to give it the necessary momentum.
The one that Mr. Newman will con-
Struct here, however, will be built
upon wheels and will furnish its own
motive power. Mr.. Newman expects
to begin within the next week or two
on the construction of his machine,
and expects to h ave it ready for the
trial flight within the next sixty days.

NEW YORK, October 16.-It Is learned
on high authority that the Chicago. Bur
lington and Quincy railroad has recently
disposed of its preferred stock holdings
in the Chicago Terminal Transfer Rail-
road Company to the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, which is already a large holder
of the Chicago Terminal and Transfer Sc

BALTIMORE, October 16.-At the head

road confirmation could not be obtained of
report current in New York that the
railroad named has taken over the Chi

of the Baltimore and Ohio stated that the
report was without foundation, In fact.
1t is understood, however. that negotia-
lions are pending which will probably
shortly land control of the Chicago Ter

is heavily interested In the bonds of the
Terminal and owns a large block of the
stock, though not a controlling interest.

GETTING READY FOR
!. AN ACTIVE SEASON
Citizens Associations Plan
ming a Vigorous Campaign
for Local improvements.
ORGANIZATIONS WORKING
FOR THE COMMON GOOD
influential With Commissioners and
Congress.
Synopsis of the Aims. Of the Differ
emit Associations and Outline Of
the Projects for the Com
ing Winter.
influential With Commissioners and
Congress.

With the opening Of the autumn and
winter seasons all Of the citizens asso-
Citations of the District are getting their
organizations into shape for active CAM
paigns before Congress and before the
board of District Commissioners-an of
them intent upon securing needed civic
improvements for the greatest good Of
the greatest number" within their several
localities. During the summer months
July. August and September-while many
of their members were out of the city on
vacations, the citizens associations were
practically temporarily disbanded. but the
present month will find the great majority,
II not all Of them. reorgantzed and pull
ing together for the common good.
Nowhere in the country, 1t may safely
be said. are communities of citizens so
thoroughly welded into compact societies
as in the District Of Columbia and in the
absence of the franchise the citizens thus
secure what amounts to representation in
their governing body-the board of Com
missioners. The associations frequently
are united upon questions of general in
terest. and 1t has been found in practice
that the views of the committees from
one or more Of the associations, as ex-
pressed in hearings before the Commits
sioners. figure largely in shaping public
policy. Similarly the desires of any one
association are needed in the matters OF
greatest moment to them. wherever lati-
tude Is given to the local authorities in
distributing improvements, and more
than anything else it has been found that
tho granting of appropriations by Con.
gress not infrequently depends upon the
representations concerning municipal
needs made by the organizations Of citi-
gems in the sections of Washington which
vii, be affected by them.
Though generally united upon questions
of broad public policy. the various asso-
Citations are more intimately interested In
securing civic benefits for their own
neighborhoods. and in consequence il is
with the attaining of a great variety OF
objectiyes in mind that the score or more
of associations are being called together
this month by their executive officers
The projects which each association will
favor most heartily in its winter work
were ascertain by The Star the past week
by canvass among the presidents and
secretaries Of all o. the citizens associa-
tions and the ambitions of each are
herewith set forth. Portraits are also

organizations.
