LARGE SHIPMENT OF MUSKRATS FAIL TO
 ARRIVE, MONTANA

which have not yet been learned Gateway Thru some unforeseen circumstances, the real nature of which has not yet been learned here, the 500 pair of muskrat which were contracted by a fur farm at KaliSpel Mont, to be shipped on the Admiral Rogers, october "A, from Seattle, billed to the Alaska Fur Corporation of Long Island were not put aboard
 According to A. w. Bennett, pres ident and general manager of the local plant, the failure to make the shipment works a big hardship on his organization and upsetS plans laid year in advance. 1t is now too late to put the rats on the ranch this fall and a prospective years increase is lost. In addition the company is out the expenses of Mir. F. Maddox who was sent from Kodiak to bring the big shipment of muskrats back. Accordingly MT. Bennett has announced that he has declared the contract with the Montana company cancelled and will take steps to get legal repara- tion.
 Tn the meantime blue fox, mink and raccoon are flourishing on Long Island where one of the big gest fur projects of the North is being inaugurated. However, the lakes and dams that were put in shape for the reception of the muskrats are apparently useless for another season.

TENNIS At NIGHT
URGED BY GROUP
Lighting of Monument Courts
Is Taken Under Consld-
GRAFTON by Grant.

Lighting Of the Washington Monu-
ment tennis courts at night to permit
q larger number of persons to engage
in this form Of recreation, II feasible
was formulated as O definite policy
today by the Welfare and Recreational
Association Of Public Buildings and
Grounds, Inc, at the monthly meeting
of the corporation, of which, Lieut..
Col. U. 8. Grant, Sd, is the president
Explaining that there is q technical
problem of Illumination to be solved,
Col. Grant said that 1t will be thor
oughly investigated at once, and 1t Is
hoped to get in the installation in
month or two.
Recently the ONCE of Public Build
ings and Public Parks extended electric
lines down to the boathouse on the
Tidal Basin, so that 1t will now be
comparatively easy to run q feeder line
courts. Col. Grant said that only the
concrete courts win be lighted at first,
as these are the only ones that can
be utilized with safety in wet weather
or after rain.
Few Play In Summer Heat.
At present the tennis day begins
about 8 O'Clock in the morning end
runs until about 8, resuming again
hDOuJ OV WlASll 10 abOut
7:30 or 8 o'clock. During the heat of
the Summer day tennis enthusiasts are
few and far between. Col. Grant con-
siders that If this period can be length
ened by three hours after dark by
having the courts Illuminated, this will
be service to the public.
Referring to the great demand for
tennis courts, Col. Grant explained that
there are about 10000 hours each
month spent on the courts by various
persons, as tennis playing Is usually
for an hour. He pointed out that as
the lighting of the tennis courts ut
night Is o technical problem, 1t IL a
question Of just how satisfactorily 1t
can be done.
May Start in August.
He will put his engineers to work
Immediately on the problem and hopes
to have o solution ready so that tennis
playing by night will be a reality in
August.
Should this experiment prove sue
cessful from the standpoint of suitable
illumination and popular demand, 1t Is
considered probable that an effort will
be made to extend the scope of the sport
facilities In the parks Of the National
Capital In this manner.
