Big Business

One of the biggest industries in Troy
is the Troy Lumber Company, with its
Troy factory and its two or threS saw
mills near town. 1t is now paying
out something like 1920 per day to lum-
Der haulers alone who are doing the
leaning from the mills to the Trov
factory where the rough lumber is con-
verted into finished mill stuff. The
plant is doing a big business, sending
out work all over the northwest. even
into southern Idaho. They have cap
tured several fine contrcts from Spokane
factories for Spokane buildings and do
big business in Lewiston.

activity in business circles. Another sig nificant fact is that while numbers of the industrial plants fin the district are being either shut down or run on short time, those of Ensley are running to their full capacity In addition to that, the en- largement of the steel mill will necess.- tate the remodelng of the present fur mace plant. In fact, this is already be- ing done. The furnaces are being rebuilt and equipped with machinery that will increase their capacity 100 tons a day.
 This being the condition, the people of Ensley feel that they are specially fla yored and that it is q bright spot in this industrial center. Speaking of the present outlook and the general condi- tions that prevail throughout Jefferson county, ex-Mayor N. w. Scott said: Tt is a matter of common knowledge that Ensley holds a prestige that no section of the Birmingham district enjoys. From the time the first blast furnace was put in operation in 1887 up to the present time, a period of 20 years, the plant has been in continuous operation and has never been shut down in all these years, except for necessary repairs. During the panic and industrial depresison in 1893, when almost every plant, not only in this district but elsewhere, was shut this district was shut down but in the entire country, the plant at Ensley ran at full blast and established a record for making iron and successfully entered into competition with the European mar kets. So with our natural advantages and splendid industries I think it will be conceded we have the pest prospects of any city in the south. So long as wheel turns in the Birmingham district that wheel will turn in Ensley.'

ROPER HELD FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY Young Man Bound Over for
 Crime In Ensley ENSLEY IS IN GOOD HUMOR Former Mayor Scott Says So Long As Wheel Turns In the District
 That Wheel Will Turn
 In Ensley
ENSLEY IS IN GOOD HUM0R

Ensley, November 23.-(Special.)- )-At the police court this morning Jim Raper, q young white man, was bound over to the grand jury without bail by Mayor Sugg on charge of highway robbery.
 The offense was committed on Avenue I near Twenty-first street late last night. and the victim was J. E. Miller an engi- neer for the Birmingham Southern Rail way company According to the testi- mony submitted to the court this morn ing. as Miller was walking along Avenue I on his way home, Raper sprang from behind tree, presented a pistol at the head of Miller, and demanded his money. Miller recognized his assailant and re- monstrated with him. Raper replied that he had to have money to leave town. He then went through Miller's pockets, but found only 25 cents and a watch, it having his initials and emblem of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers on it.. Raper returned it to his victim and de- camped. Miller lost no time in notifying the police of the occurrence, and as he had recognized his assailant Raper was arrested by Chief of Police James Merri- man inside of 90 minutes. Raper denied the charges, but the evidence was strongly against him. and he was bound circles, and though a young man in his twentes, has already served term in the penitentiary.

CAUSES OF SUICIDE.
A Number of Plausible Explanations
 Which Do Not Explain.

From the Chicago News.
 The year 1907, if it had ended with De- tober. would have broken the record for suicides in the United States. PittsburS announces that its record for the year surpassed that of any previous year months ago and that October, by the 10th of the month, had recorded more suicides than had ever occurred in the city before in an entire month. From every city in the suicide belt comes simi- lar reports-from Cleveland, Chicago, Omaha, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle Is 1t not high time for the subject of sui- eide to be intelligently studied in this country?
 It is true that Cleveland some time ago appointed a suicide commission, which began forthwith to dole out charity. The Salvation army has established sec. tion which doles out advice. sympathy and coin to those who come and an nounce their intention of committing sui- eide Both are pathetic confessions or our helplessness and hopefulness and our ignorance in dealing with the problem or self-destruction There has been no such effort in the United States to understand the problem as was made by Morselli and Durkheim in France; even the English translation of Morselli's work has never

Cornwall and the Scotch Highlands rank low both in wealth and suicides as com pared with Sussex and the whole dlstrlcl around London. Not only Is 1t true that the richer and more prosperous the couh- try or district the higher the suicide rate. but the individual cases of suicide do not lend much weight to the poverty theory, as 1t is generally understood.
 What Is known as suicide weather and is classed as a cause of suicide by many physicians who ought to know bet ter acts in an opposite direction to pro- duee the same result. As Is well known, there are more suicides on rainy days than on sunshiny ones. Rainy, drizzhnGs foggy weather depresses. A low barom- eter means a high death rate not only from suicide. but from all other diseases, especiallv where there are nervous com- plications.
 low barometer decreases the Will power and superinduces mental depres- sion. The man who is trying to break off the drink habit dreads rainy day, a foggy morning. The demand of tno system for artificial stimulant IS greater, the power of resistance is less There is more drunkenness on rainy days thdh on fair days; so, too, there are more sul- cides.
 !. For this reason Pittsburg, situated be- tween hills at the confluence of the two rivers forming the Ohio. as fog-laden IS London. will always have rather more than it's share of suicides and drunken- ness and weak -wiled Harry Thaws, rich and poor. However there Is not ehoush difference in barometric pressure as De- tween Pittsburg and Cincinnati to ae- count for a tithe of the difference In tho suicide rates Besides, all men and Wo- men are surrounded by the same atmos- nheric conditions. All Pittsburg rises to it's morning fog, but not all its inhapi- tants destroy themselves.
 None of these alleged causes ara causes. none of these explanations eX- nlain. All may operate as discourage- ments: but discouragements of what? Wa as a people can afford to study deeper than this into the causes of the death of such enormous numbers of our race.

paid for its publication. Is it possible that We care nothing about il?
 There are practically no suicides in the south. The line lies considerably north of the Mason and Dixon survey. Outside Of Hoboken, N. J., there are no very tense suicide centers in the east Of course. the actual number of suicides In New Nork city is very great, but 1t Is not great com pared either with the population as a whole or with the total number of deaths; though New York and all New England show a very much higher rate than tie south
 The suicide belt begins at Pittsburg and extends almost due vest leaving out Cincinnati. but taking in Cleveland and Chicago. St. Paul, Davenport and omaha. Formerly St. Paul and Minneapolis were somewhat out of the line. but their tgures of late years show an increase. few years ago the culminatng points were Denver. Deadwood and Leadville, but now San Francisco, Portland and, above all, Seattle are at the apex of the list. If man at all subject to the malady of sui eide to chase fortune or misfortune to Seattle and fails there is no other west. Even if he goes up the Yukon and talls. he will probably return at Seattle to Kill himself. l do not attempt to say here what this geographical distribution means.
 ''Despondency" is another cherished cause of suicide which means nothing. Here it is only necessary to ask one more question: Respondent over what?' That bad health" and "despondency' are so placidly accepted by the authorities and the public as the reason for self-destrue- ton in so many cases still further em- phaslzes our ignorance as q people of the whole question of suicide. Every man or woman has periods of mental depression and of sickness.
 Poverty in the popular mind is pretty generally accepted as a primary cause of suicide, yet this is but relative form. Take any country in the world and slI~ cdes are more prevalent in it's richest regions than in it's poorest. The south Is poorer than the north: Southern Italy than Northern Italy; Ireland, Wales,
