Save Freight Costs

A representative of the Australian
dairy industry has been making tour
of the world in the interests of the
Australian business men. He is now
in this country moving through the
West and on his way to Canada.
While in England he took the oppor-
tunity to confer with English business
men about the feasibility of shipping
butter to that country minus it's water
content. This plan, if adopted. will
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-06-07

mean that the Australians will save
more than S1,0OO,OOO in freight costs
during a year. The price of the but
ter could be lowered and the marker
would be increased. With the water
extracted the butter would be even
less apt to acquire bacteria of a harm
full nature. he said.
Australia ships 10000 tons of butter
to England and consumes $4,000 tons
herself. Butter manufacturing is one
of the large industries of the country.

national legislature. Al
though such a statement has nothing
to do with the $50 men and women
who are now in session at Washing
ton, it is true, nevertheless. Ask An
son Void!
Arson Void is the man who has
just seen his great work, "Biograph-
lcal Directory of the American Con-
gress-1774-1927," go to press. Mr..
Void, who was brought to Washing
ton from Minnesota % years ago by
Senator Knute Nelson, was for many
years clerk in the census bureau.
-Four years ago the congressional joint
committee on printing, headed by Sem
atOr Moses, of New Hampshire, au-
thOrized the publication of a new con-
gressiOnal directory, and Mr.. Void,
secretary of the committee, was as
signed to the task. For the last four
years he and his assistant, F. L. Frid-
ley, have been at work on the gigantic
task of compiling the biographies of
5000 men and women who have served
in the two houses of our national leg
islatiye body. Now their work is
done, and within few weeks libraries
throughout the country will receive
copies of the work, which libraries say
is one Of the most used volumes in
their collections.
But despite the fact that Mr.. Void
and MIR. Fridley have sent out some
thing like $4,000 letters, communicate
ed with persons in nearly every part
of the world and toiled increasingly
to make the directory complete in ev-
cry detail, there are in it 500 biograph-
ical blanks that they still are try
ing to fill. The roster of those who
served in congress, of course, is COM
plete. But the BLANKS" have to do
with birthdays, burial places, profess
sions and politics.
Take, for instance, the case of Will
liam Wilson. He is listed in the di-
rectCry thus (and' his is the shortest
biography in the book Wilson, viii
liam, representative from Pennsyl-
vania; was elected to the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth congresses (March 4,
1S15-March 3, 1S19." Or this one,
Woodruff. Thomas NJ, a represent
ative from New York; elected as
Democrat to the Twenty-ninth congress
March 4, 1S45-March 3, 1S47) en-
gagged in the furniture business in
New York city, where he died about
1854 or 1855" Here are some other
unsolved mysteries: Alexander Will
son was a representative from Vir-
ginfa in the Ninth and Tenth con-
crosses but neither the date of his
birth or the date of his death is
known. For that matter it is not even
known where he lived in Virginia.
ASariah Body, a representative from
New York, died as recently as 1885,
and yet his burial place is unknown.
Alfred Moore Gatlin, of North Caro-
lima, served in the Eighteenth con-
gresS. Then he moved to Florida,
which was then a wilderness, and no
further trace of him has ever been
found.
AS an Illustration of the difficulties
which the two congressional biograph-
ers have experienced, take this case:

STATE, WAR, NAVY
!. BUILDING STUDIED
Outside of Structure May Be
Remodeled to Conform With
Treasury Design.

Tentative studies are being made by
the Treasury Department for remodel
ing the outside of the old State, War
and Navy Building, at Seventeenth and
Pennsylvania avenue to more nearly
follow the classic design of the Treasury
Department, at Fifteenth and the Ave-
nue..
No decisions have been reached in
the matter, but preliminary sketches
have been drawn with a view to seeing
what might be done. There has been
much objection from many quarters for
years against the style of architecture
of the state, War and Navy Building,
which now houses only the former two
departments, the Navy having been
moved to the Navy Building along the
Mall.
President-elect Hoover is understood
to have been one of the leading critics
of the State, War and Navy Building,
and, it is said, he was one of the origi-
nal advocates of the plan for remodel
ing the structure to conform with the
architectural lines of the Treasury
Building.
In an article published recently in
The Star, Mr.. Hoover was represented
as regarding the State, War and Navy
Building as an architectural absurd
ity." 1t was said he had been advised
that Congress originally had intended
the structure to be duplicate of the
Treasury, but that the plans apparent
" had gone astray in the hands of
we'll meaning but overenthusiastic
architect.
The president-elect was said to be of
the opinion that the old building could
be inclosed in a new shell of Greek-like
simplicity at cost of probably ST.
100000.

MEXICO CITY, February 14.-Miss
Anne Morrow is learning rapidly what
being a celebrity is like.
In the light of no more than the re-
f1ected glory of her engagement to Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh she has received
food of kilograms and cablegrams OF
congratulation and felicitation which
have nearly overwhelmed her.
AS plain Anne Morrow, former Smith
College student and daughter OF Am
bassador Dwight W. Morrow, she might
attract little more attention on walk
down the street than many another
pretty demure girl.
But as fiancee to Col. Lindbergh she
is very much in the public eye and
seems due to remain there for some
time to come.
Messages received thus far are from
friends, former classmates at Smith
College, friends of the family, and many
from people whose names she has never
even heard-friends and we'll wishers of
Col. Lindbergh. The messages are from
all parts of the world.
Ambassador Morrow himself was not
spared. Mexican and American friends
alike told him how much to be con-
