The press was manufactured eX-
pressly for the Gazette by the Goss
company. 1t was erected in our
press room by George Hefelman,
who came from the factory for this
purpose. Mr.. Heffelman has erected
presses in al parts OF the world and
is one OF the most valuable men in
the employ OF the Goss Company.
During his stay in Alexandria, Mr..
Heffelman has shown that lie is thor
oughly competent in his profession
and has endeared himself to the en-
tire staff OF the paper
The press stands on a brick four
dation, entirely separate from the
building, which was built by Arthur
Davis. the we'll known contractor.
Underneath the press is 4 pit four
feet in depth, used by the pressman
in placing his forms and inserting
the ribbon OF paper in the various
rolls.
The driving power is electricity,
the motor being placed in the base
ment. The electrical work was done
by Hudson Bros. electrical contrac-
tors OF Alexandria.
The power is furnished by the
Alexandria County Lighting Co.
The work of moving the hundreds
OF boxes in which the press was
packed was done by James Patterson
without break Of any kind. Several
CT the pieces weighed over two tons
each.
The Gazette's equipment IS far
from being complete, as several
months will elapse before il is all
installed AT the present time much
of the type setting is being done by
hand compostors. but this will be
discontinued when our new battery
OF Niergcnthaler linotype machines
arc installed.

The hired experts have about ex-
hausted every phase of the games
which were played between the Giants
and the Athletics, and the writer can
hone to contribute nothing new lie the
way of detailed criticism. But to a
baseball contest there are many an
giles. and the mere spectator at the
game is apt to view with dinerenl
meaning and ideas those features
which to the critics are "aXioms OF
the game" The writer had oppor-
tunity to see the games played before
the long postponement, and there
were, from the viewpoint of the man
in the grandstand, things done which
should not have been done and things
left undone which should have been
done.
The first contest in New York was
a pitchers battle, without thrills and
with the Giants being favored with
the luck. The two base hit OF Mey-
ers which finally resulted in the win
ming run, was high fly which on
larger playing field would have been
easy for Lord. AS it was, Lord was
under the ball but as he had backed
I'D against the fence, he lost it. The
PLAYING grounds in New York are
very small, and. it is impossible TO
make a home run without putting
the ball over the fence.
Even the center field fence which
is the deepest of all, is hardly any
further from the plate than the rlSnt
field fence in Washington. So, Mey-
ers got more than value received for
his hit. On the other hand, Oldrlng
who made two doubles, did not get
full value for his hits, both OF which
were hard ground drives and caromed
from the fence into the fielders
hands. The New York critics went
into a delirium about Snodgrass' al
legged sprint from second on Collins
error. 1t was play that has hap
pened numerous times in Washington.
Two were out and two and three on
the batter. Snodgrass had started
for third on the pitch and just kept
on for home which he made simply
because Collins fumbled and then
threw poorly to home. A perfect
throw would have gotten the runner
with time to spare. So there was
nothing in that sprint write up.

In another inning a certain sltua-
ton arose which the critic doped
differently from your humble spec
tator. Oldring was on second, Col
Inns at the bat and two were out. The
count was two and three on Collins
when Mathewson purposely gave nm
a bad one which entitled Collins to
walk. The critics said this was done
to take a chance on Baker, who had
already made a clean hit. From the
writer's angle, it seemed that Math-
ewson figured that on the next pitch
Oldring would break for third, and
he pitched out SO that Myers could
make the throw to Herzog. How
ever, Oldring outguessed him and
stayed on second, while this whole
some bit of strategy was wasted.
The critics were evenly divided on
the Snodgrass spiking incident. But
to the writer it seemed purely &C
cidental. One run at that stage Oh
the game meant everything Snod-
grass was determined to get it and
Baker to prevent it. The only way
.'Snodgrass could possibly make 1t
was by sliding, which he did in a
perfectly legitimate way, and Baker
in his determination to get the run
ner, placed himself squarely in front
of the bag with the result that he
was spiked. But regardless Of what
Snodgrass' intentions were, it was
lucky for the Athletics that he at
tempted to make the play, as 1t
undoubtedly saved run and the
game.
New York's base running IN the
eleventh inning of the third game
was yividly reminiscent of sand lot
ball. With two out and one run
needed to tie, Baker was on first
and he was foolishly instructed to
steal. To take such chance, when,
had it succeeded, it would have been
futile without hit, was casting pre-
caution to the winds. 1t happened
that Becker was out by wide mar
Gin, Yet the experts did not men
ton this bit of senseless work.

That is the opinion of Austrian statesmen. who have that business in hand. How long the present state of comparative quiet may be maintained is a question. It will depend largely on the manner in which Turkey attends to affairs in Albania.

Whether the steps being taken to meet this con- dition will be sufficient to tide the AL banians over the winter. replace their destroyed homes and scattered fiocSs is a question. If yes, and the reforms promised by the Turks are earned out in good faith there probably will be no further disorders

The Farm Movement Department
What It Has Accomplished So Far-Its Future Work
By s. HECHINGER, Secretary

When the Birmingham Chamber or Commerce inauguarated, a little over a year ago. a special department for the purpose of bringing a good class of se1- tiers to the Birmingham district a movement was set in motion. the far reaching benefits of which, to the city and district are as yet not fully rec organized or appreciated. An increase of popula tion through an influx of settlers has direct bearing upon every phase of development 1t means in the frs. place an increase of products and, there fore increase of Wealth Producers be- Ing consumers at the same time,s IL means a large home market for dealers and manufa cturers Especially in re- gard to the latter 1t will be an aid to attract smaller and varied industries since such concerns must consider first of all sufficient home ma r1et for their products. An influx ot settlers will not only increase the value of the lands they cultivate, but those near them and last but not least our native farmers and workmen can learn some of the moderation in all things and of the in dustrial resourcefuness and practical economy of the German and Scandi- naYian, and the people from the north and west, whom we endea yor to bring here.
 To the Birmin gham Chamber of Com merce belongs the honor of being the first public association not only in Ala bama. but in the entire south, which realized the importance of an immiera - tfon movement for the special benefit of their own city and section. and who set out to do the work in systematic man. ner. applying patience perseverance and thoroughness in the carrying on of their plan which Insured success from the beginning Heretofore suck work laf fn fat land companies, and very poor show ing they made, with few exceptions.

"..............s..s....... V hich the eyes of the world are fastened today
 United States Secretary of Agriculture Wilson al the recent southern commercial congress in Atlanta told an audience of ,o0G southerners that all they have to do to get the settlers--the people who made the west and the north and the cas-, and who are building Canada now-is to tell them the truth about the south, 10 tell them about her matchless climate, her millions of acres of fertile lands, her vast mineral resources and her thriving cities with their splendid markets

 ROUND ALL RAILROADS

Birmingham and the Birmingham dis trict, need the active, hearty and sub stantial cooperation not only of the members of the Chamber of Commerce but of every public spirited business and
 industrial man in the district. If any man will give this matter a little thought he will find that to support this work Is not a question of patriotism but of self interest. The final results of get ting hundreds and perhaps thousands of settlers within the Birmingham district will mean that instead of $5.000,000 sent away annually for feed stuffs, s5,000,O00 worth will be shipped away to less for tunate sections: a difference of $10,000. GOO to be distributed among our stores and shops It will mean a permanent class of efficient white labor and servants. It will mean new industries and new capital pouring Into the district, for lest we forget l will repeat again and again that the history of the west and north shows the undeniable fact that every thing, industry. capital and labor. fol-
 lows the settler, and that without the settler no real permanent prosperity can be built mp and maintained.
 And the coming of thousands of fam lilies to settle on the lands within a building up of a great agricultural well as great industrial dlstrict both to go hand Tn hand is no dream by any means It can be done and will be done with the proper cooperation of our peo- pie. No section in the south and very few in this country can make the same claims, can offer the same opportuni- ties as the Birmingham district We do not have to exaggerate. The truth is good enough, and IS a matter of fact, we have numbers of letters from people who have read our literature and who write us that what they have read about the Birmingham district is better than anything they know of from any other section. and that they are coming Yet there is nothing in the book but absolute facts and our correspondents recognize it.
 In Chicago alone, which city visited recently, there are probably 5000 fami-- lies eager to move singly or in colonies to some favorable section, and the mum. bers to whom talked about the ad- vantages of the Birmingham district were only limited by my time. good many of them will come down in the fall and spring and with keeping up this kind of work with zeal, energy and perseverance the settling of thousands of good families in our district is not only a possibility, but certainty in course of time.
