HAMPTON PHOEBUS AND OLD POINT-COntinned
KING OF MOONSHINERS DEAD

B. Oliver Jenkins died at Chase
City, Va, on Wednesday morning of
this week, after an illness of about
four hours. He was native Of York
County and there is little doubt of the
fact that he made and sold more con-
traband whiskey than did any single
Individual who has ever lived in this
section. He was about 50 years OF
age at the time of his death, and was
actively engaged in the making and
selling of whiskey for period of not
less than forty years. For a number
of years after the war he lived OH a
valuable farm, which he owned near
Glover, and which now beloniE to his
estate, and made liquor and sold It
all over this section of the country
in defiance of the laws of the United
States. Numerous efforts were made
by the revenue officers to catch and
punish him. but with little success.
Along about 1883 his traffic became
unbearable to the good people of that
section and he was waited upon by
committee composed of representa-
tive citizens, who informed him that
he must either discontinue the sale
and manufacture of whiskey entirely
or leave the State. Jenkins knew the
men who gave him the utimatum and
very correctly concluded that they
meant every word they said, ard.
therefore, decided to leave. He NOV
ed into Cleveland County, N. c.. and
finally settled near Grover, n c.,
erecting an enormous plant, part of
which was in North and part in South
Carolina. the State line running
through his property. This outfit was

The large quantity of fire-killed
timber on many Of the forest reserves
the pressing need for durable wood
the steady rise in it's price due to the
increasing difficulty of Obtaining 1t
and, finally, the ease with which post
timber can be treated, indicate that
the preservative treatment of timber
Is to have an important development
throughout the West This, besides
meeting the demands of the people
and reducing the drain upon the for
est, will lead to the Improvement OF
conditions on the reserves and insure
better crops hereafter
1t is the intention OF the Forest
Service to establish experimental
treating plants where there are bodies
of dead timber on the reserves and
n demand for durable wood can MOI
otherwise be met. Experimental work
will be conducted with zinc Chord
and other processes as the needs OF
the different regions and the thorough
testing of each process may require.
As a result of the post experiment
it is understood that company will
take up the treatment of dead lodge
pole pine on a commercial scale in
the spring. They are satisfied that
the simplicity and economy of the
open-task process introduced by the
Forest Service will enable them, with
certain notifications of apparatus, to
treat and sell not only fence posts
but telephone poles and posts used
for irrigation works. They count up
on local market already in good part
developed by the confidence which
the fence-post experiment has inspir
ed.

An experiment In the preservative
treatment of dead lodgepole pine for
fence posts, just completed by the
Forest Service, on the Henrys Lake
Forest Reserve in Idaho, has given re-
suits of economic value both to the
people OF the community and to the
Forest Service. 1t has demonstrated
that fire-killed lodgepole pine is we'll
adapted to treatment with creosote
oil by an exceedingly simple process.
The demand for durable posts by
. ranchmen In the vicinity of Henrys
Lake has hitherto been met by the
use OF red cedar, but the supply of
this species Is now completely ex-
hausted. The only native trees at
present available for posts are lodge.

TIE soundness and dryness Of the posts
when placed In the ground and with
the character Of the soil with which
they come into contact. in general.
aspen posts last from six to ten years,
fir posts from five to seven years
and pine posts only from three to
four years.
Lodgepole pine without preservative
treatment is thus too short-lived tn
make desirable posts or poles. The
idea of treating it was suggested by
the requirements of forest manage
ment on the Henrys Lake reserve.
Large bodies of dead lodgepole pine,
both standing and down-the legacy
Of severe fires in 19O2-are serious
handicap to the forest there. This
timber must be got rid of to make
room for young growth if the future
forest is to be well stocked.

NEW YORK, Feb. Gothic lethar-
gic condition into which the stock
market lapsed today was significant
of the decline of interest. PROBES.
sional limits of the narrowest descrip-
tion confined the trading. There was
nothing discernible in tho market to
reflect developments in general condi.
tons.
The material of the days meagre
speculation largely dealt with conjec.
tural developments rather than with
actual occurrences. There was quite
elaborate argument expended on the
probabilities of success or defeat of
the. Aldrich currency measure in
Washington. Wall street has set up
standard Of large Importance for
this measure in it's bearing on the
market outlook, which is not fully
shared by bankers and others who are
regarding 1t strictly from the side Of
its probable influence on the money
market.
The proceedings which are to be re.
sumed next Monday by the Interstate
Commerce Commission into freight
rates of the Hartman railroads Of.
fered another field for surmIses. The
distinguished array Of the names OF
the witnesses to be examined at the
hearing In itself gives Importance to
the inquiry in the local financial
world. There Is besides lurking APP
prehension that disclosures may be
made that will add fresh fuel to the
flames of public hostility to corpora
lions.
The selling Of Union Pacific was
again the most Influential. factor in
the actual trading at the stock ex.
change. Professional operators claim.
ed to be selling for inside account of
that stock and they took the bear side
of the account in consequence.
The operators for that account were
mostly considered during the first
hour of the market. A partial recov-
cry followed and prices drifted slug
gishly for the greater part of the day.
but the closing tone was easy. In the
money market tates for time loans
were advanced to bring them more
into conformity with the rate of yield
on corporation note issues.
