traffic congestion has subsidized until it
is possible to deliver goods according

manufacture are very fully engaged,

ATLANTA TO HAVE NO FAIR.

Refusal to Permit Pool Selling
knocks Out Both Fair and Horse
show.
Atlanta, March 21.-It is practically
settled that no Fair will be held in
Atlanta this year. j. X. Ottley and
Ed. c. Peters, two of the strongest
supporters of the Interstate Fair AS
ISOLATION, have resigned because of the
action of council in refusing to permit
pool selling on horse races at the
park. Others threaten to, and proba
bly, will take the same action. 1t is
practically conceded that this means
there will be no fair and no horse
show next fall. The indications are
that the association will in the near
future wind up its affairs and go out
of business.

TOUCHED THEIR COMPANION.

Two White Men Arrested for Going
Through Treater's Pocket.
For the alleged theft of a little less
than IS in saloon at No 16 Barnard

white, were yesterday arrested by De-

detective, and the money was taken
from Sheppard's pocket. The COM

WAS DUE TO WASHOUTS.

That Earnings of Central for First
Week in March Fell OF.
The washouts from which the Central
Railway suffered during the first week
in March caused its earnings to fall off.
The gross earnings for the week, COM
pared with those for the same week of
last year, were short about $4,000.
President John M. Egan was asked
yesterday why it was that the falling
off in earnings had occurred, and he
answered that it was because trains
had been interfered with by the wash
outs. All trains could not be operated,
and some Of the lines were blocked.
To prove that the falling off in earn
ings was due to the washouts and to
nothing else, Mr.. Egan directed atten-
tioh to the earnings for the second
week in March, which show an increase
over those of the corresponding week of
last year of $23, 900

Valdosta, Ca, March 21-The engin-
eering corps of the A. V. & w. Railroad
have begun the work of laying off the
route for the extension of that lire
from this city to Moultrie, and it is
said that orders have been issued for
the work to be done as speedily as
possible. The chief surveyor, Mr.. B. P.
Tilden, says that it will take about a
month to complete the work of sur
veying A preliminary survey was
made two years ago, but it is under
stood that the new route is to be diff
ferent from the one marked off at that
time. The survey party consists of
about twenty men. 1t has been rum
ored here for some time that the A. V.

Line trains from the west next year,
giving that system a much quicker

Bridges ana Streams Are Very
High.
Valdosta, Ga, March 21-Another
hard rain fell here to-day, adding
largely to the amount of water which
is standing all over this section al
present. The streams are higher than
they have been in twenty-five years
and the farmers are way behind with
their work. The bridges and roads of
the county have been badly damaged
by the high waters and some of the
roads are impossible. The road and
Bridge superintendent reports that
much damage was done to the turn
pike at Little and Withlacoochee riv-
ers and at the double bridges. Most of
these turnpikes were built a year or
so ago at considerable expense to the
county, and it looks like they will
have to be rebuilt.

RUSSIANS MAKE
OVER PORT ARTHUR

Mr. Sifroy Forth, who was for sew
eral years resident engineer in charge
of the work of Milliken Brothers, who
built many of the large sugar mills in
the islands, accompanied by Mrs. For
tin and their child. arrived here in the
Coptic yesterday morning and will
spend some time looking over the
ground to see what are the prospects
for new work. Mr.. Forth has been the
for year past, and is now Immediate
ly from Port Arthur. Speaking of Chi
ma he said last evening:
There Is a period of depression in
China, and some persons who have
been in the south say that it will be yet
some time before China is ready for the
advance that is anticipated. The A
merican corporation which has n con-
cessiCn for the building of railroad
from Hankow to Canton, of which Will
lis c. Gray is the president, is going
ahead, it is said, with the construction
of several hundred miles of the line.
w. Porter Boyd is now in Shanghai as
the private secretary to Mr.. Gray, and
seems well pleased with the outlook.
our firm has been constructing In
Port Arthur immense shops for the
Russian government. The intention Is
said 20 be that naval base shall be
maintained at Port Arthur, and fos
( four years the Russian government has
been preparing the Notifications anc

there has been much talk of the town

THE KAUAI OBJECTION.

The critic who said that the presence
advantage to plantations on Kauai
should visit Southern California and
note what has come to every legltimatn
business there from the presence Of
tourists in Los Angeles. The attrac-
tions of the citrus belt metropolis BRING
"a. 900 people there annually who pour
into the channels of business and thence
into the banks an average of $2oO per
capita for personal expenses, exclusive
of what they pay for railway lales.
This makes a total of SIS, 600 added
in every good season to the hoauhS
capital of Southern California, money
which becomes available to those VINO
need 1t for agriculture, irrigation MN
ing. manufacturing, trade, commerce
and general development in the vast
country lying below the Tehachapi
pass. ,,
Nor is this all Among the 15,Ooo
tourists are many wealthy Eastern men
and foreigners, who want something
better than three and four per cent IN
yestments. and who need little pressure
TO remain as permanent residents IN
country which pays better return
than that for the money 1t requires
These visitors are the mainstay OF IN
yestment. Is there great hume W
build or a great citrus or raislh propo-
sition to advance? In that case the
men having it in hand do not neeo u
send agents to San Francisco, chicago
or New York, to make prolonged heso-
tiations They don't have to; the cap
tails, is on the ground, getting inter
ested in what he sees, and ready to be
approached with any sound proposition
AS an alternative there are the over
flowing banks.
Now as to the local application ii
the plantations on Kauai have all the
money they want; if their water ana
transportation systems are satisfactory
and they have occupied all the laho
that can be made profitable for sugar;
if, i'm brief, they are in perfectly easy
circumstances, then the presence OF
vast sums of investment capital in Ho'
nolulu would, perhaps, be of no specia
advantage to them. But if the case Is
otherwise; If there IS room for I'M
provement in their properties and II
their facilities for doing business; L
they have stock and bonds for sale
then the more easy money there is II
Honolulu the better for them. And i
follows in this event, that anythini
they can do to revive and pulld up I'M
tourist business of Honolulu. the bette
for the specific interests with whici
they are identified.
