Papers recently found In the archives of Oneida county, uiynistakably written in the careful hand of the baron, for the first time indicate his plans for an estate on his land grant, on Steuben creek, near here. Saw Opportunity for health. Benjamin Wright, who later drew the plans for the Erie canal, was retained by Steuben to lay out what he expected to be his country s^at, far from the business world, which he could not understand, and ta the midst of historic country to which he sent his troopers, well trained for battle under his own eye. Steuben had" a dreams of amassing millions in the virgin country, operating a sawmill and selling the lumber on his land, the 00,000 acres given him by congress. r Of this land only 50 acres regains available and this - tract will m reforested and called Steuben forests to surround the graff old soldier's plain marked grave. Neither the baron's dream of millions nor his plan for a palatial home--there were to be 20 rooms on the first floor--ever came to pass. He died of a paralytic stroke In 1794, four years after congress had freed him from Worry over his financial affairs. Devoted to Country. Steuben, however, had the cdatolt of peace in a country he came to love. He described the wlSderness about his farm as "the most beautiful In the world." And there he was burled, wrapped In his military cloak, with the star of knighthood on his breast. Only his servants and a few neighboring farmers attended the burial. Among them, however, were men who had shouldered muskets In the Revolution and had either seen or heard of Steuben's setting the example of frugality and privation to the tattered legions of Washington's army during the bitter winter at Valley Forge. Here he welded the troops into a perfect war machine which defeated the British the following spring at the battle of Monmouth. This began the string of victories which ended with the capitulation of Cornwallis at Torktewn wfcfcfc virtually ended the war. r* M Ancient Bolla There are 22 bells in Lancashire, • England, that can. with certainty, be assigned to a date earlier than 1550.

This Is the observation of Charles S. Howard, San Francisco globe trotter, who visited the couple !• the course of his 06-day vojage from Florida on his yacht Sarah. "The doctor and frau were In the node when we first saw them,** said Howard, "but they donned clothes to greet us. They were so excited to see os they wen almost Irrational in their Joy. "I asked the doctor If they ever planned to return to civilization. 'Well, maybe, but she says no, never,' be replied. So I guess the doctor, at least, Is kind of tired of the primitive life and of his dictum of denying himself all food except fruit "He wears long hair and talks as though he considers himself Inspired; but you can find a lot of folks like that without leaving California.** Rltter's trip to the island was promoted by a desire to escape the "boredom of civilization," and for the purpose of testing certain scientific theories relating to primitive nutrition and dietetics. He left Berlin in July, 1029, with his woman companion, whom he had restored to health and who had expressed a wish to share his experiment. He spent his entire fortune on the trip. The Journey was made by way of Ecuador, where the couple bought a small boat to complete their travel to the Galapagdti group--about 600 miles distant Setting up a primitive domicile in the wilds of the island of their choice, the doctor and his companion engaged In testing the effect on their systems of a diet combining raw and ceoked food, with raw cereal* preponderlng. * Salesman Kills Bear as Lumberjacks Hide Longmont, Col.--Matching an oldfashloned rl,fle and his nerve against a huge black tyear charging on a sawmill camp, Herbert Sullivan, .Longmont salesman, killed the animal with his first shot Sullivan sells automobiles and has rarely fired a gun since hlf boyhood days on Fourth of July. 6 He had barely reached the sawmill In Big Elk Park, 30 miles west of Longmont, to deliver a new car, when a hatless lumberjack dashed Into camp, shouting "The bean are after us."
