COMES UP
Ketchikan Liquor Dealers
 Must Pay SlOOO

Eetchikau is in the throes of an tp-
 ternal strife that seems likely to joggle
 the lively little town out of the even
 tenor of it's way if some Joshuu does not
 ap,ear pretty soon and display djpIo-
 matic ability enough to shove things
 back into the beaten track of harmony
 The difficulties all crow out of the rais- ing of the saloon license from 500 L" 5000. Tue saloon men are staying uD nights and ueglecting business trying to figure it out wh-Jher or not they have been h.uky-dinked.
 When the spring electilu came on there was considerable talk of making Netchikan a competitor of SitSa for the reputation of being the most moral town in Alaska. The saloon keepers 70, busy with a big B. scurried around for candidates who would stand on a ;fcket friendly ,o their interests, cam n,fgued like Indian fighters anu finally treated themselves to cymp,uceut smile when tine election showed they had come on victorious.
 Now cou.~ the vale of tears. No sooner had the council taken office than somebody. whose tuenlry fortunately for him j., lost. suggested that tt was lime Co count noses in Netch.Nan and See if the saloon, could not ae made 10 ,outribute 8 little more liberaIly 10 the towns eNcueuGer.
 The noses were counted in sgch a fashion that uore escaped and the final roundup showed ,ha, le,chlkau's pop . ula,ioa ws~ enough tooo.ige the saloon . men Co pay -Iauo per tttuay wanted 10 . continue bushes, thevc. To st,te there ,as B ,holler" expresses it too mildly, ! but tho fla. had zone to-th and it went. |.
 When Fourth of July began 10 51 an . event at:aa gear future. preparations . were begun for a suitable celebration . there -he saloon men. as usuaL were l. assessed SD each. But this was not in !. the dope. The book contained 1o such formula aIer theSI.ua1 license hOld.up. . The boozeolvg.~.s calmly to,dthe finance ! that they s-5oj ready to put lp equally with the other business men. . Consequently Eetchiaan had no Fourth of July celebration.

 New Orleans, July 10.--A concerted effort on the part of local and New York operators resulted in the break Ing of the deadlock in which the mar ket has been siumbering for the past
 The reported deterioration in -the South Atlantic States on account of complaints of too much rain was so magnified as to make 1t appear that the crop In the eastern portion of the belt had suffered severely from .he recent incessant rains along the South At lantic coast. tions in North and South Carolina and in Georgia. the English market closing at an advance of about 1 points on fu- turcs. but spots there were lower by 2 points on sales of only 5000. Middiings AS a matter of fact the weather map of today showed little or no rain east of the Mississippi River. the district of Auzusta having none to report tne Wilmington district but .0f. the district Of Atlanta .e2, the Savannah district. which covers the coast. however, re- ported 50 of an inch. .
 The offcial forecast was in keeping with this improvement In the weather fin the eastern belt. New Orleans fore- casting fair weather for the Carolinas tonight and Wednesday. showers for Georgia.
 Nevertheiess. the advice was sent out by numbers of commission houses to buy cotton. We have noticed of late silent but continuous buying for quite a while new crop months, October and De- cember, being taken to account by trad- CTS who apprehend some unfavorable development in weather conditions and in crop news. both having been so fa- vorabIe of late that the question arose as to whether such conditions would last much longer since we have ap- preached the critical period in life of the plant and the time when reports of weevil devastation usually begins to circulate.
 There Is wisdom in such foresight, but 1t is based upon supposition and anticipation more than on reality, and it remains to he seen If such develop rncnts maferialize.
 The weekly weather report of the Government was favorable. except for North Caroline. where excessive rains are said to have caused considerable damage, but to what is not stated, the remarks of the Weather Bureau being strictly confined to the rainfall and temperatura. Advices from the central ard western portions of the belt are of the most favorable character, particu- iariy is this true of Texas, in all sec tiofis of which State the outlook is most pronlsing.
