ADVANCE IN CARPETS
Announced by the Reason for
Higher Prices.

announced Uy the IrtOe-fsenbOu AuE
Higher Prices.
NEW YORK, August 2.-clrculars
issued by various carpet manufactur-
err announce increased prices on Brus-
sells. velvets. tapestries. and axmln-
sters. These advances are the direct
result of advances made in carpet woods
and a widening interest on the part of
retail buyers. The agent Of large
manufacturing concern said that he
was certain that all other advances
would be made later. as prices were not
yet on a parity with the cost of the
raw material, expense Of labor. and
other necessary costs to the mills. The
circulars recently sent out provide that
up to August Is orders are to be filled
at present prices.
The present is the second advance
made by manufacturers since the OPEN
ing Of the season. The sales which
have been made since the first advance
was announced, have not diminished in
number or In callbre, because of the
increased prices which jobbers and re-
tailers have been asked to pay. The
prosperity in the carpet trade has to all
appearances, been healthy one, find
ing its source In the actual needs of
consumers. In this fact the more con-
servative agents base the assumption
that there will be no carpet trust, at
least for the present.
Following the action of the Brussels
and tapestry manufacturers, the max
ers Of ingram carpets, art squares and
rugs, and similar lines Of all or part
cotton goods are said to be contemplate
ing general advance in prices. A
jobber said that he had received init
nation that this was to be the case.

Alaskan Boundary.

SAN FRANCISCO. August 2.@Unlted
States Senator George C. Perkins has
Just returned from Alaska. Speaking OF
the boundary dispute the senator said:
"I think the matter win be amicably
settled without arbitration. There is
nothing to arbltrate. 1t would be Just
as reasonable for us to insist upon tRk-
Ing up the old boundary question be-
tween the United States and Canada
again and declare our dissatisfaction
with the forty-ninth degree of latitude.
England long ago recognized the boun-
Diary for which we are contendIng. She
did this when the Hudson Bay Com
pany (which was practically Canada at
that time) executed a lease for ten
years from Russia of the territory she
Is now contendIng for. This lease was
renswOd for a second term, 80 what
better proof could anyone ask of our
ownership These lands which the
Hudson Bay Company leased from
Russia and England now seeks to lay
claim to. we purchased from Russia"
The senator said that high license has
proven a success In Alaska.

Tea RaisIne In South Carolina.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. August Abr.
Charles U. Shepard, who is in charge
Of the experimental tea garden at Sum-
mervIlle, s. c.. has made report to the
secretary of agriculture. covering the
progress made up to date. He says
there are now about fifty acres of land
under tea cultivation and that 5000
pounds were sold last year at a profit
Of 25 per cent. 1t is estimated that when
all the plants now growing arrive at
maturity they will yield 10000 pounds
annually. DR.. Shepard expresses the
opinion that the fact that the tea
plants lived through last winter when
the most intensely cold weather in the
history of the section was experienced,
is a guarantee that the weather coudI-
lions will prove satisfactory. The la
Dor problem. he says, has been solved
by establishing a school for the educa-
ton of negro children in tea picking.
The quality of the tea also has proved
satisfactory,

COMMISSIONERS MEETING.
Lively Discussion Over Proposed
change OF Roads.

At the meeting of the County Com
mssionels last Monday morning, after
the routine business was transacted.
the matter OF the change in the road
past Senator Gomins' ranch, that has
been under discussion for several
months, was again brought up. Mr.
Comlns presented a petition with sew
enty-tw0 signatures, asking that the
north and south road on the west side
Of Mr.. Shallenbarger' ranch be ex
tended south in a straight line for about
threo-quarters of a mile, then turning
southeast and rejoining the old road in
front of Senator Comins' house. The
object of the change, the Senator ex-
blamed, was 10 take the road around
field which il now crosses diagonally,
aud which he desires to fence in and
cultivate. The new road has already
been built, Is on harder ground than
the Old road, which contains bad
mud hole In wet weather, but is about
one-sixth of II mile longer.
The chief ohjsetor TO the proposed
change Is Jacob Shallenberg a. who
was also ON hand with a numerously
-igned pelitlag protesting against .
rhe protests we're grounded on the IN
crease In distance and the fact that the
new road contains a small gra le; but
the underlying objection seemed to be
the belief ar fear that 1t was the ultt
nate purpose of Mr.. Comins to divert
the travel from the road plst Mr.. Shal'
/ lsnb rger's ranch to a shorter road thai
leads directly from the formers ranct
TO town through the foothills, and
which lnterseets with the proposed roae
near the top OF the grade. Mr.. Comins
however, denied having any such inten
tion, expainei that the short road t'
town was impossible for loaded team
and h4d been built entirely for his owl
oonyenienee. and he further agreed q
maintain sign at the fork in the roads
