Shodows of Coming Events.

Judging from internal indica-
tions Highland county will soon
have railroad communication with
the outside world.
The Sun Is informed by several
different persons that northern
agents have been quietly buying
up large tracts of timber lands IN
that county. These agents, who
seem to have dropped from the
clouds. have secured possession
either by purchase or option of the
very best timber lands in Highland.
They do not buy the land however,
but merely the timber which con
ssts of oak, walnut, ash, hickory
and poplar.
The most astonishing feature of
the deal is the price paid for this
timber, which, is bought by
acreage. The price paid ranges
from one to three dollars per acre.
One cord of wood on the ground is
worth two dollars and that buys
and acre of splendid virgin timber
worth any where from five hundred
to fifteen hundred dollars. 1t fire.
quently happens that one walnut
tree alone is worth one hundred
dollars. The LEADER is Informed
of one tract of timber containing
one thousand acres. which was
sold for two thousand dollars. SO
it would seem that our Highland
nelghbors have practically barterrd
away their timber land for mere
bagatelle.
Of course without railroad this
timber is Of no great present value,
but with railroad it will be ex-
trpmely valuable, to the purchasers.
Highland wants a railroad badly
and will surely get it in the near
future if indications count for any,
thing.--Old Dominion Sun.
The extent to which Highland has
been victimixed by "shrewd specu-
lators" is very much exaggerated
in the above report. the truth is
there are not many large tracts"
of valuable timber land in High
land, that which is most valuable
being found in small parcels and
constituting a part of one of the
numerous little farms Of which the
county is made up, and with the
value of which each owner is so
well acquainted that the estimate
placed upon it by "specuIators
would not receive a moments
consideration. We refer to the
groves of timber found in the
valleys and along the mountain
foothills. and, we repeat, the
worth any value Of these is toe
well-known to the various owner,
to admit Of their being duped into
sacrificing the same.
True there are some few tracts
of tim Der land, isolated and in
accessible, which are of no actual
value to the owners, and could
only be made so to any one by the
construction of lumber-roads,
whereby every thing of market
able value could be removed, and
such lands are usually the proper
ties that change hands for ''mere
song" The people of Highland
are as a whole, anxious for rail-
road. but thev do not look to their
tim her to draw it, hence there is
little danger Of a wholesale sacri-
fee, like that made by our sister
across the Allegheny.

USE OF EMPTY CIGAR BOXES.
Commissioner Yerkes Directs His Of
ficers to Enforce the Law.

John w. Yerkes, commissioner of internal
revenue, has just sent out to collectors of
internal revenue notification that after May
1 next the officers of his bureau will strictly
enforce the law relating to the use of empty
and branded cigar boxes by cigar and to-
bacco dealers. The boxes will be seized
for forfeiture and personal proceedings will
be taken against the offenders. Commits
sioner Yerkes says that the law is plain in
providing penalties for the using of empty
cigar boxes, branded or marked in any
way purporting to show that the provisions
of the internal revenue laws have been
complied with. The penalties are so severe.
the commissioner states that his Office has
hesitated to invoke them for the prevention
of the practice of making and using dunn
my cigar boxes for advertising purposes,
a practice innocent enough on its face and
not ordinarily resulting in fraud upon the
government. When the boxes recepta-
cles are marked or branded with factory
no doubt of the applicability of the statute
to them, and manufacturers and dealers are
warned against this in the future.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the commissioner by B. d. Croker, col
lector of Washington, who wrote that
empty boxes of the kind described were be-
ing distributed among dealers for adver-
tisements and display purposes. The COM
missioner is careful to reiterate that any
empty box bearing the indented brand and
caution notice comes within the provisions
of section 3455, which will hereafter be en-
forced.

Sugar Company Defeats Government.

Judge Wheeler in the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals has handed down an
opinion, which. If finally sustained by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals, will
cost the United States government So, 900, :
600. This money the government will have
to refund to the American Sugar Refining
Company for duties paid on raw sugars i'm
ported from Cuba in 1903 and upon which
the company contended a reduction of 20
per cent should have been allowed under
the thln existing Cuban treaty.
The President was authorized by Congress
to grant a reduction of 20 per cent upon
all merchandise imported from Cuba to the
United States within ten days of the ratifi-
cation by this government of the Cuban
convention or treaty. This ratification oc-
Cured on March 81 1904. The importation
upon which the test suit was brought was
made between July IA and September g.
1903 The collector demanded the full
duties. When the treaty went into effect
the company appealed to the general board
of appraisers. which sustained the collector
An appeal to the Circuit Court followed
Judge Wheeler decides that as the ratifi-
cation went into effect while the case was
before the board of appraisers, the import
ers are entitled TO the 20 per cent reduction.
The decision fixes the date of entry as
being the date ON which the case Is finally
passed up IN by the government. Hereto
fore the date of liquidation has been ac-
cepted as the legal date of an entry.

BRITT TO FIGHT WHITE.
Champion to Replace Nelson
in Next Months Match.

A special from San Francisco says that
the Britt-Nelson fight which after the de-
feat of the Balston anti-prize fight bill was
regarded all fixed for the latter part of
April, was declared off late last night by
Manager Coffroth, who has substituted ia
bez White, the English champion, for the
battling Dane. This change was due en-
tirely to the greed of Billy Nolan, Nelson's
manager
Before the Corbett-Nelson fight Coffroth
made an agreement with both Nelson and
Britt that each man should put up a for
felt of $1.5O0 to fight in April for 80 per
cent of the gate receipts. Since Nelson's
victory over Corbett Nolan has declared
that his man deserved better percentage
of the gate receipts. Last night he fatty
declared he would not agree to Nelson's
appearing in the ring unless the Dane re-
ceived 65 per cent of the gate receipts.
He justified this by saying that Coffroth
had secret arrangement to give this extra
percentage TO Britt. Coffroth became an
CRY and declared the fight off. He had
been in communication with Tom ORourke
of New York and last night received wire
saying White accepted the terms and
would reach there on Thursday. The Eng
lish champion will probably draw a larger
crowd than Nelson, and the Dane may have
the fun of meeting the victor
