DEVELOPMENT OF TURKEY.
Industries Primitive, but irrigation Is
Underway.

Industries in Turkey are mostly
quite primitive. There is a tendency
to start factories on small scale,
but the supply of labor seems likely
to prove a difficulty A glass factory
on. the Golden Horn. belonging to the
Civil List Department. has been leas-N
ed and is now being worked under
British management. 1t employs $50
hands and turns out about $4,000
worth of glass bottles etc, per
month. There is one other glass fac
tory working in Constantinople. at
Pasha Bagtche, on the Bosphorus; il
employs $50 hands and produces about
$4,000 worth of glass monthly. An
Ottoman company has been formed,
under British management, with a,
capital of $4,000. to manufacture soap;
the works are ON the Golden Horn.
and produce about fifty tons of soap
per month. A brick and tile factory
has started work at Pasha Bagtche.
on the Bosphorus, on small scale,
and lis to be considerably extended. A
company has been formed for start
ing floating dock at Stenia, on the
Bosphorus. Two cement factories
have been established with local cap
ital at Gueb2eh, on the Gulf of Is
midi. and the cement is on the mar
ket at the price of ~ piasters per
sack of 80 kiios (about As cents per
100 poundsb.
The Turkish Government cloth mills
at Kara Mursal and Ismidt have been
equipped with new machinery, and
manufacture the khaki wooden cloth
required by the army. At Panderma
there is wooden yarn spinning mill,
which produces 2.7500OO pounds an
nually and employs 14O hands. At
Smyrna a weaving mill has been OPP
ened with a producing capacity of
100000 metres (about $4,000 yards),
which will be increased this year to
ZOO 900 metres (about $4,000 yards).
1t will employ 800 to 400 hands. In
dustrial companies in Turkey are al
lowed to import their machinery free
of duty. and are given an underlined
preference for Government contracts.
An industrial law was before the
Chamber to allow free importation of
raw material and other advantages,
but was not passed during the last
session (ended January, 1922.
Preliminary contracts have been
made with the National Bank of Tur-
key for the irrigation of some 100000
hectares (hectare equals PAT aeres) of
land in the Meander Valley, province
of smyrna Preliminary surveys have
been carried out for the bank by
British firm. and definite agreement
with the Government is under discus
sion. Preliminary contracts have been
made with the Anatolian Railway for
the irrigation of 500,0 900 to 100000 hec
tares i'm the Adana Plain, and with
a British firm for work in Mesopo-
tamia connected with the new Hin

Choral Society Gives Mendels-
sOhn's OratOriO r'St. Paul.

The Choral Art Society of this city
under Edward Fl. Wass, conductor,
scored another triumph. Wednesday
evening, when it offered for the last
of this seasons recitals and the ninth
since its organization, Mendelssohn' s
great-oratorio "St. Paul"
st. Marks church was completely
filled with an appreciative audience
of music lovers from Augusta and vi
entity, there being also guests from
Waterville, brunswick and Portland
This beautiful and devotional work
is the most difficult and pretentious
the Choral Art Society has ever un-
dertaken, and the fine manner in
which ii was sung, the careful shad-

ness and majestic power of the heavy
choruses. as wen as the reverant
treatment of the whole work showed
eonelasively the most eXacting and
pains.aking study ON the part of both
chorus and soloists.
"St. Paul is the first of the ora
terios of Mendelssohn. He was com
missioned TO write an oratorio by the
Cecilia Society, a musical organiza-
ton of Frankfort, in 1892, and seems
to have made definite plan of it at
once. After many Interruptions he
wrote "FinisrA on the score, in 1885,
when barely 2s years of age.

was also mandatory and ordered the
