Murder Suspect Released

Walter Harvey Whealan, arrested
here last week suspected of being the
murderer in Colorado Springs of Mrs.
Elsie Jorgensen Suttle, was released
from custody on Wednesday by two de-
tectives who came here from the Col
orado city to investigate. For some
time the detectives were convinced
that the man City Marshall r. L. Neill
had picked up was the one they want
ed, but an exchange Of kilograms with
people back in Dodge City, Kans.,
where Whealan claimed to have been
visiting at the time Of the murder,
corroborated his story, establishing
an unbreakable alibi.

Early Rose spuds, for which he got
$3.10 a hundred weight. They were

The Eclipse Nobody Hurt

Every one is glad the eclipse is over
and nobody hurt more than they were
Monday. About 80 per cent of the
sun was covered by the moon here
and while the sky was quite cloudy,
it was plainly visible as it passed
into spots of clear sky. The eclipse
began at 12:44 and ended about 1928,
the greatest observation taking place
at 2:10 p. m.
A greater part Of the time, persons
with strong eyes viewed it without
the aid of smoked classes. The small
rim of the sun showing changed to q
flaming red at times.

Trout in Bright Angel

On Wednesday a lot of rain
bow trout were planted in Bright An
gel creek, Grand Canyon, across the
Colorado river from FL Tovar hotel.
Some day there will be good fishing
there, though it probably never will be
as intensively fished as Oak Creek.
Trout were planted there by the gov
ernment three years ago, but the job
was poorly done and most of them
died; though fishermen at Needles,
two and half hundred miles below
Bright Angel creek, are now OCCASION
ally catching trout in the Colorado
river.

NO ACTION ON

No action has been taken by the
state railroad commission upon the
petition recently filed by the Red
River Valley Railroad Companies
Minnesota corporation organized IN
1914, for permission to offer stock
for sale. It is understood that the
commission is Investigating the petit

1t is known that there has been
a feeling upon the part of at least
one member of the state railroad
commission that there already is too
much duplication of railroad lines in
North Dakota, which has resulted IN
double expense Of transportation
and caused insufficient return to the
competing railroad lines. The pro-
posed line from Fargo to Grand

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1923

Experiments have disclosed benefit
cial results in darker foliage, es-
pecially that in very dry soil, which
was found to be helped by shade. The
mixture when sprayed forms a film
on the plants and the more lime used
in it the less transparent it becomes
to the solar spectrum. On the ether
hand, the mixture, while unquestion-
ably preventing the plant diseases
for which it is used, was found to be
injurious to the health of some other
plants which require more light and
sun.
The station at Rhode Island State
College has revised the gospel of
lime, earnestly preached as correc-
tive for acid soils, by adding the in
function to use acid phosphate with
it. This, it has been found, will
completely eliminate the soluble
aluminium in the soil which poisons
plants. The combination of lime
and acid phosphate has proved bet
ter than either alone.

MANS TWENTY-SIX HATS

Speaking Of spring bonnets has the gentle
man OF the family got his yet: The Customs
Cutters Club Of New Yory city can help him
out with suggestions if he isn't correctly out
fitted. Here is what they say the modern
American man absolutely must have if lie
is to escape the stigma of shabbmeSs:
For evening dress Silk hat SIS; opera
ISIS.
For informal evening: Tuxedo soft hat,
$40; derby, $40
For business: Turned edge soft hat, 81
cavanaugh edge soft hat So; bound edge soft

Twenty-six pieces OF headgear for Che

AQUA QUARRIES TO OPEN

Aqua Creek quarries are to be reopened
after more than century OF ideness. From
this quarry came vast amounts of stone that
was used in the colonial homes of the State
and even the National Capitol is built i'll part
of the stone from this Stafford County mine
The product, OF excellent quality, known as
Virginia granite, takes very fine finish.
Alexandria has been selected as the point
through which this product will be furnished
to various parts OF the country Announce
mcrt has been made that 200 skilled mechan-
les will be employed at the old AgncW Ship
yard here to cut this stone. The very tact
that these mechanics require d great deal OF
skill in their trade should be heard by
AlcXandrianS with much interest. Two humid
red more families OF the wage earning type
will be added to Alexandria and there will
naturally follow an increase i'll population
OF nearly 1000, thus adding all the while a
little more to our prosperity and another
step forward.
The promoters OF this scheme have Sc
lectcd Alexandria because of its ideal loc;l-
ton and its really superb rail and water
transportation facilities. They should be
shown all the courtesy the City HAY give
The Chamber OF Commerce should welcome
them and do all i'll its power. to make the
new concern comfortable. Contractors
should see that homes are ready for occu-
pGncy
Alexandria, by welcoming this concern and
taking care OF its little difficulties, will pro-
mote the feeling OF good will that should
be extended any concern contemplating To-
eating here.
