FINDS VALUABLE ANTIQUES
Personal Belongings Of Dr. Wilber Fisk, First President Of Wesleyan, Uncovered in NiddletOwn.

Middletown, Jan. 1e R-Many personal belongings of Wilber Fisk. first president of Wesleyan univsr- sity, were uncovered during the re- cent moving of books from Rich Hall to the new Olin Memorial Li- brary.
 Among the things which had re- mained undisturbed in the dusty, upper regions of the old building which had served as library since 1868, were leather fire buckets. rem iniscent of the days when there was no city fire department. an old foot warmer. two pairs of saddle bags. and a velvet lined pigskin hat hold CT for the stove pipe hat which al- ways adorned Dr. Fisk's head. The only thing which lacked the flavor of antiquity was a collection of ser mon notes which might have been written yesterday.

GOOD STORY TOLD
 REGARDING FACTS IF
 NEW APPOINTMENT.

SEATTLE, Aug. 13. (P)-H Horatio Alger might well find inspiration for an entire book in the story of Otto Ohrson, yeteral rhlilroad man, par ticularly in facts concerning Ohlson's appointment to the position of Gen. eraI Manager of the Alaska Railroad.
 When the manager sailed on the steamer Aleutian Saturday to take up the duties of his new position some of his friends overflowed with the secret of events leading up to the appointment declaring the story was too good to keep.
 Until late in July Ohlson was sup erintendant of the Superior Division of the Northern Pacific Railway with headquarters in Duluth He was out supervising some work along the line, not far from Brule, Wis.
 Ohlson's work engaged the atten- tion of a party of fishermen but Ohl son was busy man and he didn't have any time for the fishermen save in the light of potential passengers for his line. But the fishermen took particular note of Ohlson's method and one of them, man little given to conversation, paid particular at tantion to the railroad executive. That man was President Coolidge.
 As the story goes That man looks to me like likely timber for the Alaska Railroad" said this fisher man with a sight down East drawl, Tets find cut who he is"
 The Northern Pacific Railway lost a division superintendent right there and Uncle Sam got new railroad executive.
