IMPROVEMENT WORK

Extensive Government Prof.
ectS Planned for the
/ Eastern Branch.

Feoeral improvements at the Navy
1ard and along the Anacostia river
just begun, as exclusively announced
yesterday in The Times, are said to
be only the beginning of more ex-
tensive Government work up the
Eastern branch.
The new 100000 foundry at the
Navy Yard, for which plans are now
belng drawn at the Navy Department,

further enlargement of the Govern
ment reservation. AS the work of
the Navy Yard has outgrown the
present foundry, similar conditions
In other departments, officials be-

buildings.
Much land within the Government
reservation at the Navy Yard is avail

new tract bought seven years ago
by the Government as an addition
or this tract is the site for the new
foundry.
Further Demands To Be Made.
The prediction is made that more
appropriations for new buildings at
the yard will be requested of Con-
gress.
IrdlSntenlng OF the channel in the
Anacostia river from the Navy Yard
to the outlet into the Potomac river
below the War College grounds is
also said to presage general reclama-
tion work, of all the Anacostia flats
from the Potomac entrance to the
Pennsylvania railroad bridge above
Anacostia.
That the Government will eventually
acquire the BuZzard's Point tract, ad-
joining the War College reservation on
the east, to give II an unbroken tract
from the Potomac river front to the
eastern side of the Navy Yard at
Ninth street southeast, has been
rumored.
The channel in the Anacostia river
from the Navy Yard westward, is now
twenty-five feet in depth, accom-

Following the resignation Of Jasper
Wilson. private secretary to his father.
Secretary Wilson. officials OF che De-
partment OF Agriculture discredlt today
the ru-nors that young Mr.. Wilson's
resignation forecasts a departmental
shake-up because OF the Wiley .MeCabe
controversy.
It Is declared that Jasper Wilson Will
become head Of an irrigation project az
Denver, and that his resignation was
voluntary, and mas no political signic-
canoe. The salary offered him in the
West, II is said, Is much larger than his
annual stipend as private secretary of
the Secretary of Agriculture.
The impression remains in some quar-
tiers, however, that the resignation OF
young Mr. Wilson may have Bearing
upon the suggested departmental shake
up growing out OF the Wiley-McCabe
controversy, and there f. some specula-
ton as to whether the act of his son
means that Secretary Wilson himself is
contemplating retiring. =
While Jasper Wilson was not directly
involved in rhe recent imbrogiio, he has
always been regarded es a supporter
and friend OF Solicitor McCabe.
The Solicitor himself is out Of town on

4 TREK ACROSS
SAHARA DESERT

1t Is the opinion of Capt A. n. w.
Haywood. of--the British army. that the
great Sahara Desert is gradually en-
croaching on the country south of the
Niger. Capt. Haywood recently complet-
ed a trip through the desert. He entered
the sand country at Gao, having been
forced to abandon the route from Tim
buctoo to lnsalah. which is situated on
the twenty-eighth parallel in the direc-
ton Of Algiers, because of the intense
heat. He could not find a desert guide
who was willing to run the risk of trav-
cling through the wind-driven sand along
a route which in certain parts offered no
hope of an oasis or a well in ten days'
ride.

THE manufacture of spirits is becom-

which spirits are made Of grain. molas-

from fruit and 1850 producing spirits

then had 1,S3S distlleries. Now it is
dry State. Back in those days the pro-
duction of most distilleries was small.
Gradually the business came into control
of certain groups of men. just as the iron
and steel business became centered in a

in Illinois. Six of them are in operation.
and last year they paid 81. .CCOo00 OF the

has reduced somewhat the number Of
small distilleries. more whisky than ever
is being produced. which shows that the
making Of spirits is undergoing the same
changes that have occurredd in the max

country. Banks and railroads are COM
