DEATH CALLS TWO
ISLAND RESIDENTS
JOHANNES BAARDsoN sATERBo

The community was saddened on last
Friday to learn of the death Of j. 3.
Saterbo, after long life of usefulness.
Quiet and unassuming Mr.. Saterbo
had an enviable place in the esteem
and affection of his neighbors and
friends.
Several months ago Mr.. Saterbo
made a trip to his old home in the
middle west returning after a de-
lightful visit with his old friends there,
70 his home on the West Side. He was
accompanied by his daughter and her
husband, Mrs and Mr.. Raaum and
their two sons who came here for the
purpose of making home for the
father during his remaining life, little
suspecting that that life was not to be
long spared The trip, made by auto,
through Yellowstone Park, was de-
light beyond description to Mr.. Saterbo
on his arrival, even before he had
gone to his home, Mr.. Saterbo stopped
at the News-Record office, and ex-
pressed enthusiasm over his entire
trip. surprising in man of his age.
On hearing of his death the first
thought was that it was indeed a
pity that one so full of the Joy of life
had been called.
Joannes Baardson Saterbo was born
at Fitjar, Norway. February 5th. 1851.
After following the sea through his
early years he came to America to stay
in 1882, settling in Minnehaha County.
South Dakota, the following year he
was united in marriage with Gurrianne
Tvadt. To this union son, B. c,
Saterbo and daughter, Mrs. 0. l.
Raaum, were born. both of whom sur
vive their parents.
About fifteen years ago the family
came 10 Vasnon Island where they
established home on the West Side.
Mrs. Saterbo passed away November
l4th of last year leaving a great sorrow
in the hearts of her neighbors and
friends, all of whom held her in high
esteem. The husband OF her youth
and her two children have shown since
her death the great family love By
their devotion to one another. and it
is not hard to believe that this de-
voted husband and wife rejoice in the
fact that even death could not long
separate them. The sympathy of
neighbors and friends are extended
to the ones vino so sincerely grieve
over the loss of their parents.
Funeral services held last Monday
afternoon from the Lutheran Free
Church at Coiyos were attended by
those who had known this splendid
man through everyday acquaintance
and knowledge of his upright life.
Interment was made in the Island
cemetery. by the side of his wife

Don't eroan about your troubles

Don't think you're undergoing
All the worries in the list.
Don't call your life a failure
And mourn your hapless fate

That you would finch before.

Some other hearts that ache.

BETHLEHEM STEEL co.
PUSHES BALTIMORE WORK

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 29-The
$40, 100000 construction program of the
Sparrows Point plant of the Bethlehem
Steel Co. is in full swing, with founda-
ton work under way at the new open
hearth unit, blast furnace No. 3 and the
new wire mill warehouse unit almost
complete.
The open hearths themselves, which
will contain six furnaces of the latest
design, will constitute the largest build
ing, covering 10000 square feet of sur
face, structure 900 feet long and 200
feet wide.
Alongside of this unit, paralleling it,
the foundations are being laid for a
mold yard, which will be 900 feet long
and 80 feet wide. At one end of the
Enclosure will be a mixer building and
the stripper shed will close off the other
end
The actual construction of the build
ings and installation of machinery will
follow closely. upon completion of the
foundations.
The work of increasing the capacity
of blast furnace No. from $50 tons
daily to 1000 tons is progressing fast,
as is the work of rebuilding one entire
unit of coke ovens to raise the output
of the plant one-third, as outlined in
the general construction program.
The wire mill warehouse, which cost
about 100000, is practically completed.

that since the value of the securities

In any event, sentiment Is better to-

trade. The latter is the real indicator,
for when all is said 1t is retail buying
which neceSSitates and stimulates man

lin D. Roosevelt of New York evidently
felt this when he called a conference of
the factors in the cloak and suit in
dustry, leading department stores and
heads of retail organizations for De-
cember IL in this city. The purpose of
the meeting is to stabilize industry. He
points out that the cloak and suit in
dustry serves retailers and consumers
all over the Nation and that many
other lines, both retail and wholesale,
are sensitive to its fluctuations. Retail
ers and manufacturers are watching for
the result of this conference with al
most as much anticipation as that with
which they await the fruition Of the
Hoover program.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
DECLARED BETTER
Hoover Conferences Held
important Feature in Re-
storing Confidence.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. November 29.-Senti-
ment has been improved unquestiOnably
by. the conferences which President
Hoover has held in the last week with
representatives of big corporations and
as result of the pledges of co-opera-
ton from the States. Business in con-
sequence, has commenced to move at a
better pace. The retail trade of the coun-
try is on a f1rmer basis, and merchants
with five days of good receipts behind
them in the last week are much en-
couraged
So far the improvement has been
largely a sentimental and psychological
one, although none the less important
for that The pledges of expansion,
construction and maintenance eXpendi-
ture have not yet begun to be full
filled
There are some business men who
feel that most of the cheering has been
before the game was won. The acclaim
which greeted the Hoover program to
sustain industrial activity and the re-
Sponses to it, these men say, repre-
sented merely the preliminary cheers
which always burst forth when the
rival teams come on the field. They ad-
NIT freely. however, that there will be
a tremendous concrete effect when they
are fulfilled.
Waiting for Results.
The building promoters, architects,
contractors and material men are wait
ing just now to see what strength the
construction team will show in the
financial line They know that erection
of skyscrapers, public buildings, homes
and factories, the construction of high
ways and bridges, the laying of pave
ments, the stringing of wires and the
Spiking of new track cannot be done
without money. They also realize that
money is in supply. But they wish to
be absolutely sure that 1t will be avail
able before they feel easy.
Some take the position that corpora
tons involved in the huge programs
outlined must finance their operations
and that the money must come eventu-
ally from absorption of stock and bond
issues by the public. The public. they
assert, may be led up to an investment
but cannot be forced to buy. This is
worrying the street railroad men par
ticularly. They have been trying, with
only partial success, to finance rehabili-
tation programs for the last 10 years.
All admit there is no lack of money
If it can be brought out. Sound invest
ment bankers feel that the public will
be eager to grasp an opportunity for
