Where the Social Whirl Held

At the close of the second war with
England the federal government
which had so nearly lost the old North
west to the British, resolved to build
o chain of forts through this inlant
empire to guard against future dan
gers and also to protect the frontier
settlements which were constantly
pushing westward. One of the sites
selected was in Wisconsin where the
Fox river empties into Green bay.

Famous Forts In
u. S. History
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
g 1875. western Newspaper Union-)
Michillimacklnac, "Place of
the Great Turtle"

Long before the French explorers
pushed into the interior Of NU~ta
America, the island Of Miehillimackl-
nae, (Mackinac) in Michigan, was
well-known landmark 20 the Indians.
The first white man to visit this gate
wa between Lake Huron and Lake
Michigan was Jean Nicolet who pad-
died past the island in 1854. In 1871
Father Marquette established the mis-
sion of st. Ignace near by and in 1878
the French built the first Fort Macki-
nae near the mission and from that
time until Cadillac established De
troit in l70l it was the principal out
post of the French in the West. Macki-
nar was virtually deserted after the
founding of Detroit, but in 1712 Il was
regarrisoned and held by the French
until the English took possession OF
the country in 1760.
The British built a second Fort
Mackinac on the south shore of the
straits, palisaded structure enclos-
ing about two acres. Here occurred
one of the dramatic incidents of the
Pontiac war when on June 4, 1853, the
hostile Indians used a ball game as a
stratagem for gaining entrance to the
fort. They killed 20 of the garrison
and took the remainder prisoners,
among them Captain Etherington, the
commander, who failed to heed adj
vance warnings of the conspiracy.
After Pontiac's war was over the
British again occupied Fort Mackinac
and ii again became the center Of the
fur trade of the Northwest 1t was
an important British post during the
Revolution and in 1850 the garrison
was transferred to MaclSinac island
where it began building the third Fort
Mackinac, a strong fortress of stone.
Although Great Britain agreed to give
up all of her western posts at The
close of the Revolution, it was not tn
til 1896 that the young repablic finally
gained control of this post.
The next few years saw Mackinac
growing in Importance as one of the
principal posts of John Jacob Astor's
American Fur company. Early in 1912
the British swooped down upon the
place and because of their overwhelm-
ing numbers easily captured the fort.
In 1914 a force of 500 United States
regulars and 400 militia attempted TO
recapture Fort Mackinac, but their
attack was beaten off and the British
remained In control until the close 0f
the war. Mackin9c island is now
state park and every year hundreds Of
tourists visit the historic buildings Of f
the fort, which are still in an excel
lent state of preservation.

VALUATION IS
EXPLAINED
Official Tells Commission That
Costs Have Increased II
Per Cent Since 1914

A general increase In prices OF
u per cent has taken place be-
tween 1914 and 1924, Harry Gretz.
chief accountant of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company,
told the Public Utilities Commits.
sion today at the re-opening OF the
valuation hearing.
He said the actual book cost OF
land. property and equipment OF
the company was $18,7S5,719. but
that reproduction would actually
cost S23.S55.8SO To this figure 10
added $4,000 900 for "going value"
which brings the company's esti'
mate of its value to more than

Major William E. r. Covell. AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner,
pointed out during Mr.. Gretzs tes-
timony that figures from the De-
partment of Labor shoe an aver
age price increase of only 81 per
cent. 20 per cent lower than the
company's estimate.
Company officials replied that the
Labor Departments figure was a
weighted average, based on 400
commodities, many OF which had
no connection with telephone
company. The company's estimate
it was pointed out. was based only
on the equipment, etc, actually

PICK
TRAFFIC
CHIEF
D. G. Commissioners Likely
to Name M. o. Eldridge
at Session Tomorrow

A Director of Traffic for Wash
Ingotn probably will be appointed
by the District Commissioners to-
morrow,
There is every indication that
the choice will be M. o. Eldridge,
research specialist of the American
Automobile Association. The COM
missioners, however, are still con-
sidering three others for the post
and are looking into their quail
fications.
j. Rowland Bibbins, consulting
engineer Of this city, is under
consideration. He conferred with
Commissioners Bell snd Rudolph
yesterday, outlining generally his
ideas on traffic in Washington.
Salary Thought Sacrifice.
Mr.. Bibbins, however, is not
considered .'in the running" 1t
was pointed out today that a salary
"a -S,2UO a year would be a
sacrifice to him.
II Mr.. Bibbins files an applica.
ton within the next forty-four
hours. the appointment may be
held up.
In addition to Eldridge and Bib.
bins. the only other two men who
are believed to have a chance are
Captain r. g. Knott, traffic en-.
gineer OF the Public Utilities Com.
mission, and Captain Frank S.
Flynn. who had considerable ex-
perience with traffic overseas dur.
ing the war.
The Commissioners have definitely
eliminated Inspector William s.
Shelby, Sergeant Guell Stanley and
Private Milton D. Smith, all of the
police department.
The elimination was made because
the Commissioners did not deem it
advisable to give the post to a
man in the police department.
Other candidates have virtually been
scratched off the list, narrowing the
selection down to four men.

HOlcOmbe, Back From
Trip, FavOrs Flexible :.
Traffic Signals for ID. C..

Flexible traffic light signals on
main highways in the congestec
section Of Washington were sug
gested today by Major William ii.
Holcombe. Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, who has just returned
from a tour of a half a dozen
large cities to inspect lighting ano
traffic conditions.
He declared that his observation.
did not convince him of the need
OF the lighting system for traffic
for twenty.four hours in each day.
Il think that if we used a flexi-
BILE light 1t could be used to better
advantage here" Major Holcombe
said. There is no need, in my
opinion. for a lighting system in
use all day and night. We need
light which can be operated at
will, probably only during the
morning and afternoon rush hours. ="
Major Holcombe said that he met
no one in his travels capable of
filling the post who was available.
Observation of lighting condi-
tons convinced him, Major Hol-
combe said. that lamp posts and
electric light posts should be placed
closer together in Washington.
That's the one lesson I did
learn from my trip. / found that
other cities place their lights closer
together than here"
He also said that lighting condi.
tons in the outlying sections OF
Washington compared favorably
with other cities. He said however,
that Washington was apparently be.
hind in lighting up it's downtown
business section.
Major Holcombe accompanied by
w. B. Hadley electrical engineer,
visited Elizabeth, n. j.; Lynn.
Mass; Schenectady, New York;
| Cleveland, Ohio; South Bend, Ind;
Chicago, Ill. Indianapolis, Ind, and
