] was talking the other day with
man who lives down on the York
River between West Point and the
town This gentleman was giving me
glorious account of the general pros
perity in that section of the old State,
and incidentally he mentioned the fact
that not less than 1000 motor boats
are scooting up and down the river
between West Point and Yorktown.
thought a thousand boats was right
broad statement, and called my friend
down, but he would not come down
single boat, and went on to explain
that these boats of all sizes and shapes
and all run by gasolene engines. are
thicker on the river than automobiles
on the streets OF Richmond
Automobile ON Water
I'm fact" said he, "the motor boat
is the river mans automobile, and
nearly everybody owns one, ranging In
size from a little five-foot pleasure
boat to a big fifteen or twenty-foot
market boat and you. have no idea
what a great Convenience and a great
comfort they are. People go to mar
ket in them. they go to church in
them and the women folks go out
calling in them They run UP and
down the river and up and down the
creeks. in the estuaries, and. in fact,
everywhere they can get water TO
float upon"
'Yes," he continued, there are not
of tho York and its intersecting
streams, and, do you know, not one
OF these boats is built in Virginia.
WHY don't Richmond so into the boat
/ building business? It will pay That
/ old Trigg Shipyard could easily be
made into a motor boat factory"
l stuck pin there, and when l
returned to Richmond l mentioned the
matter to a wellknown enthusiast
| West Point friend, and he asked, fur
| thermore, why should not Richmond
| set to making some of the automobiles
that arc being sold here every day in
| the year"
The Jenkins Emergency Wheel.
| Well. why not? It is a fact that
with the exception of the few that are
J made III New England factory all OF
| the automobiles in this country are
| have a big automobile factory in Rich
mond? There Is not a better place on
the map Of the whole country for such
an enterprise, and il would pay here
as we'll as it pays in the West.
Only a few months ago Richmond
man conceived the idea that he could
! improve on automobile wheels and
make an emergency wheel that Will
save lot of time and lot Of annoy
ance and trouble to auto enthusiasts
when they are gadding around the
country. He got a patent on his
emergency wheel THAI can be adjusted
In less than two minutes in case OF q
/ punctured tire or any kind OF an ac-
ctdent to your wheel, and he was not
long In organizing a company to pu,
these emergency wheels on the mar.
ket and they are selling like hot
cakes. The factory Is in Richmond
and is known as the Jenkins Emer.
gency Wheel Company.
Well, If Mr., jenkins and his asso-
ciates can SO successfully make ar
emergency wheel for an automobile
why can't they or som melody else make
In Richmond the whole machine? They
can, and in time they will, in my
opinion.

HOW It Came About

HOW 1t Came About.
The story of this emergency wheel,
from which may grow greater things
IN the automobile line, Is short and
simple. Realizing that Of all the an
moving disasters that could exist a
lame motor car is perhaps the worst.
w +. jenkins, Richmond auto owner
and motor car enthusiast, studied out
this emergency wheel, and the auto
mobile folks think it is the greatest
invention of the age since the electric
light was made possible through the
aid of wires and machinery.
While extra tires have heretofore
, formed large part of the equipment
of an auto rambler through the coun-
try, tho said rambler has been losing
a lot of time perspiration and pa
tience In replacing the punctured or
| otherwise injured member. With the
emergency wheel on hand, the trouble
is not only at once dispensed with,
and done speedily, hut with so little
effort that the dreaded breakdown
Of the recent past no longer hAs tnr-
rors for the automobiltst.
Why Not the Whole Machlnee
The factory for the manufacture Of
this great invention has already been
established in Richmond. and is doing
business right along, and now the
| question above asked comes UP with
double force. IT Richmond can run an
emergency wheel factory of this kind,
Why can't Richmond build the whole
automobile; why can't it build motor
! boats to supply the streams of the
State and the whole South? 1T can
do It, In fact, this Jenkins factory
can easily be converted into a gigantic
! shop to do all of these things. But
whether this be done or not, there
can be no better place for an auto
mobile factory and motor boat fac
tory than this same Greater Richmond,
and in my opinion there will be lust
these kinds OF factories here in n short
time, perhaps within the next year
.lWhy notG The capital is here, the
business sagacity is here tho energy
Is here and the room for more bil
factories IS here or hereabouts. Let
EN- come giGht along.

Method for Construction Of Cheap but
Substantial Homes for Work
Ing Glasses.

London.-Two neat little tiled cot
tages at Newlands Corner, near Guild
ford, stand for a practical and sue
cessful effort to deal with one OF the
most pressing questions Of English
rural life-the problem Of cheap hous-
ing.
In building these comfortable, well
ordered dwellings for two Of his un-
dergardeners at q cost for the two OF
81, 800, st. Loe strachey, editor Of the
Spectator. has justified the faith which
he publicly expressed and which NOV
ed him to promote the Cheap Cottage
exhibition at Letchworth in 1905.
The argument which Mr.. strachey
then advanced and has now establish
ed Is this: The agricultural laborer
cannot afford to pay more than $3.50 q
week house rent out of his wages. Any
Improvement in his dwelling above
that standard must ordinarily be pro-
vIded by philanthropy. The obvious
way to cope with this situation is to
cheaper the cost Of construction.
This Mr.. Strachey, in cooperation
with a local builder, has done, by us
ing for the walls Of his cottage con-
crete blocks made In molds on the
spot. The ground floors Of the cot
tages have a scullery, a pantry and q
large kitchen sitting room, from which
an open staircase leads picturesqueiy
to the upper story Of three bedrooms.
As Mr.. strachey points out, this eK-
traordinarily low cost Of $500 for
pair Of cottages-S2,250 Is the figure
usually accepted-hAs been reached
not only by the employment Of cheap
material but by rigid exclusion q

PHEASANTS PEST IN FIELD

Seattle, Wash.-Pheasants are q

birds have eaten up the potatoes and
much small grain and even attacked

birds is large, and because Of the

CAT IS DRUG F|END
Savannah Tabby Sent to New
York for Treatment.
Animal, Owned by Druggist, Contracts
Morphine Habit In Store and
Seeks Bottle Where oplatO
10 Kept.

New York.-When the Savannah
Line steamship City Of Montgomery
arrived here the other day from Sa-
vannah. Ca, she brought q most re-
markable passenger to New York in
the shape of valuable Persian cat
that has been credited in the dis
patches from Savannah as being a
confirmed morphine fiend.
The Persian cat is the property OF a
druggist in Savannah named Rollin-
sky, a man prominent in the southern
city, and he sent his pet Persian to
New York for treatment by specialists
in the hope that the cat may be cured
of the morphine habit.
Some months ago the cat shifted at
some morphine, powdered, that was
being used in a prescription in Mr..
Rollinsky's pharmacy. The animal
acted peculiarly after that, and was
constantly on the shelf on which the
brownish bottle containing the drug
stood. Several times Mr.. Rollinsky
found the morphine bottle open with
the powder scattered about, and each
time the cat acted in the same manner
that a human being acts when under
the influence of the opiate.
The morphine.stricken feline was
taken on board the Savannah liner by
Mr.. Heaton, the druggists assistant,
and placed in room on the City OF
Montgomery. There were many per-
sons on the pier at Savannah to see
the cat leave for New York, for tab
by's fame had spread throughout the
southern city. and 1t was considered
very much of a local celebrity.
No provision had been made for
morphine on board the the steamship,
and the cat, frenzied because Of the
absence Of the drug made its escape
from the cabin in which 1t had been
placed and leaped overheard into the
Savannah river. There was thrilling
rescue, and the Persian tabby was
placed again in the room that had
been reserved for it and for Mr.. Hea-
ton after much correspondence with
the Savannah line officials, and Sc
curely locked up.
1t was placed under a small allow
ance Of the drug, and this was con-
flrmed upon the arrival Of the City
of Montgomery, when the cat was
taken, in fairly good shape. to a cat
hospital in West ETSty-third street
So well known is the cat in Savan-
nah that there was much opposition
to its being taken away.
Mr.. Heaton watched tenderly over
the four-footed passenger and super
intended the transfer to the cat hos
pital.
While Mr.. Heaton would not COM
NIT himself without first having con-
suited the veterinaries. he said he
thought the treatment of the cat
would be about the same as that
given a human being under similar
circumstances. By degrees the allow
Rnce of morphine will be discontinued
and remedies administered that will
cause the unnatural craving for the
drug to disappear.

NORTH STONINGTON LISTENS
 TO LAFAYETTE MAIN
Votes the Three Propositions He Ad-
 vocated in Town Meeting.

North Stenington, March 27.-Lafay- cite Main of North Stonington had his way Saturday at the town meeting and succeeded in having passed a number of votes that tie the hands of the se- lectmen to a considerable degree
 He announced that he would address the voters before the meeting was call- ed to order and soon after 12 o'clock the hall was crowded.
 MT. Main spoke in favor of the three propositions, the devotion of five of the IT mills of the tax to the payment of the town debt, salary for the select men and the auditing of accounts, and called the attention of the voters to what he considered the loose way in which the business of the town had been conducted in the past, and com pared North Stonington with other towns in it's method of conducting g town business. His free lecture seemed to secure the support of the voters, as on all measures he carried the contest by vote of about 4S to IS.
 Lafayette Main moved that the se- 1ectmen be paid a yearly salary, $75 for the first selectman, $45 for the second and S35 for the third, and that the vote become operative on it's passage. The motion was put and carried by 47 to IS.
 A vote was passed prohibiting the selectmen from hiring money unless authorized to do so by a vote of the town, and it was decided to secure auditors.
