Tho Importance Of the Appalachian
forest cover to the cotton milling IN
lustry alone, in the Piedmont regions
Of North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia Is shown by the statistics of
the mills operated by the water power
derived from the streams having their
sources in these mountains. In these
three states there are 163 mills so
oPerated, with a combined capital stock
Of 81, 3,000. 900, with 2,770,00O spindles
and 60.926 looms and giving work to
over $4,000 employees, The total an
nual production OF these mills Is ap-
proximately $64,000.000.
Virginia has interests also, which
are not included in the above figures,
as have also Tennessee and Kentucky,
on the western side Of the mountains.

Nurses Want Standard Raised,

DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 16.-The Ohio
State Graduate nurses association held
its annual meeting here today and dis
cussed the question Of state law pro-
viding for the examination and reg1s-
tration of nurses. After the LIST Of
June, 1908. if the bill for which they
are agitating passes at the next ses-
sion Of the general assembly, it will
be illegal for any person to practice
professional nursing in Ohio as a reg
istered nurse without certificate pro-
cured through Board Of Examiners
appointed by the governor. Fitness
for the work, good moral character,
and fair general education will be de-
manded, as well as graduation from a
training school connected with a. hos
pital or sanitarium giving a three
years course.

Labor Scarcity flinders Mining.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 16.-There is a
great scarcity of labor in all the West
ern and northwestern mining centers.
New mining camps in order to obtain
labor are offering as high as IS day
and even at that price nave operations
delayed owing to the scarcity of la
borers The opening of the Bullfrog,
Tonopah and Goldfeld camps and the
high wages paid have drawn seriously
upon the copper mines of the Lake re-
gion, Montana, and the silver fields of
Colorado. Canada and more particular
ly the new Ontario discoveries have
also attracted miners, while the dredg-
ing operations in Alaska continue to
draw upon the mining labor market.
Even the slow progress made by the
st. Paul road in its Pacific coast ex-
tension is due to the want of labor
ers.

Mrs. Cecilia L. de Nottbeck, niece of
John Jacob Astor, the first. Mrs. de
Nottbeck died at sanatorium at FISH

patients.
From the evidence adduced by Law
yer Granville L. Emmett, who repre-
sents the De Nottbeck estate, Gabrielle
and Peter have been inmates of the
Fisnkill sanatorium for nearly twenty
seven years. Gabrielle is IS years Of
age and, according to the testimony Of
the doctors, she plays with toys that a
child of years would fondle. Her
brother, Peter refuses to talk to any
one, and she has not answered any
question for years.
DR.. Bolton testified that Miss de
Nottbeck imagines she hears voices
ana is continuously laughing to her
self. DR.. Williams says she has hallu-
cinations about religion and about an
invention she is trying to perfect.

Files Into Locomotive Whistle With
Queer Results.
ENGINEER COULDN'T SHUT IT OFF
ENGINE, OUT OF STEAM COMES
TO STOP, WHEN BEETLE Is
FOUND.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Oct. ia bug
flew into the whistle Of a Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern railway loco
motive, stuck there and caused that
part of the engine to cut quite an au-
dible swath in the atmosphere as the
train sped west out Of Cleveland, pull
ing local passenger No. 127.
The noise continued for an hour.
Then the steam was exhausted and
mechanics in the Berea shops, twelve
miles west of here, examined the whis-
tie and pulled out a big black beetle
dead of course.
The train leaves Cleveland shortly
after 5 o'clock laden with shoppers re-
turning home. At West Park, three
miles out, the engineer was dumb
founded to hear the screech of his
whistle, which he had given a gentle
pull, prolonged into a screaming blare.
He gave the cord a frantic tug and
the beetle settled more firmly in its
position. The whistle wavered into
hysterical gurgles now and then and
occasionally rose to ear-splitt1ng
shrieks. 1t was milking time, and many
were the overturned milk pals along
the route and many the runaway COWS.
At Berea the crowd of villagers wait
ing for the train to come in tumbled
from egg-cases and dry-goods boxes
and fled in terror before this frightful
screening monster.
Cant you stop her?'' screamed the
station agent when the engineer had
brought all but the whistle to a stand
still.
The engineer was wratny and still
frantically pulling at the whistle cord.
Finally with one loud defiant blare and
a dying groan as of despair, the whistle
sank into peace and quiet reigned. The
steam was all gone.

PROVIDENCE, Oct 16.-John C. Lee
henman, the Manhattan college gradu-
ate who was arrested with members of
the crew of the schooner yacht Frolic
on charge of conspiracy to violate
the immigration laws Of the United
States by assisting in the landing of
the cargo of Cinnamon, tells newspa-
per men that he believes the con-
fiscation of the Frolic is the climax
Of a gigantic immigration swindle. In
this connection he said:
1.-THE government men are a lot of
dubs. They certainly blundered over
this in laughable manner. Why, they
sent my brother decoy registered let
ter at Boston under the name of J.
Williams. OF course my brother got
the letter and signed for it but he
got away all right 1t was then I got
into this business through Goodman
Phillips. This smuggling of Chinese
into this country has been going on for
long time. 1t is nothing new to any
of us and it isn't new to many of the
police in the big cities.
"But to think that we came to this
little town and got nabbed, while
there is no reason to fear in other cit
les. for there is a big graft for the
guys and they don't mix their fingers
into it. A deal like this would net
Phillips all of $4,000, and he can cas-
lily afford to take chances"

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 16.-Wayne R.

king of the MOonshiners," pleaded
guilty in the United States circuit
court today to indictments charging
him with conspiracy to defraud the
government. Judge Waddlll fined MIN
$1,000 and confiscated the distilery.
Gooch is said to have accumulated a
fortune of 100000 by the manufac-
ture Of illicit whisky. He maintained
an armed guard around his place and
kept inquisitive neighbors off by riding
around the outskirts of the estate
every night heavily armed and firing
his rifle in the air.

canad. Must Have Our oood..

Canada Must Have Our Goods.
AS might be expected, the laws and
resolutions of the British imperial gov
eminent and Of the Dominion of Cana
Ola are likely to remain a dead letter
because of the close social and com.
mercial relations already existing be-
tween the people Of the United States
and their neighbors in the north. HUI
man nature will not suffer itself to he
harnessed up by a policy which is
merely an abstraction, According to
Consul II. D. Van SAINT at Kingston. a
port city Of Ontario, there is a steady
increase Of trade relations between
the United States and Canada in spite
Of the law placing British goods under
preferential tariff. In u recent report
the consul says:
While the loyalty to the empire re-
mains strong and unquestionably prepon-
derating. the commercial relations be-
tween the border countries continue to
increase largely, both in this district and
the entire Dominion The needs Of the
two peoples are similar. their business in
tercourse OF necessity more frequent,
their taste. costumes and style almost
alike and their social. religious and busi-
ness interests constantly increasing. A
few hours at most separate the CONNER
cial centers Of the two countries. A trip
from one to the other incurs no more ex-
pense or time than would a trip from one
state to another. 1t takes weeks to get
shipment from England or Germany
to Canada as compared with a few days
at most to get them across the line.
The matter Of placing this or that
line Of goods is largely controlled by
the retailer, who looks first to his own
convenience and next to what his GUS
toners demand. Consul Van SAINT says
that the dealers as rule prefer to
handle" American goods. and in
many cases the preferences Of their
customers compel them to keep them
in stock. To quote further:
The higher social circles are intensely
loyal to the empire and usually make
purchases based upon their sentiments.
but as a whole they take less interest in
the matter of trade and commerce than
the leading business men, wholesalers and
retailers. The middle and lower classes
usually buy where they can get the low
est priced goods Of good quality and as
a result the business man keeps in touch
with the wants of his best customers at
the best profit he can make, and almost
invariably on account of easy, safe, quick
and cheap shipments the demand for
goods of American make and manufac-
ture increases with the population and
wealth Of the country.
American commercial sentiment has
largely increased because from %
to 80 per cent of the Canadians set
Ting in the United States report the
advantages of American goods and
their constant improvement in quality
and manufacture. Thousands of Amer
leans are passing through Canada each
season and by their department and
generous outlay as tourists help to adj
vertise and cultivate closer commercial
interest.
