YAWNING CHAsM IN ROAD is A
COSTLY MYSTERY.
Longest Rope Could Not Measure Its
Depth. Acres of Timber Cut and
Piled Into the Hole.

Piled Into the Hole.
In terest in the mysterious sink
hole situated about six miles south
east of Camden, Mich, has again
been aroused. The spot is directly
in the line of the highway, and in
fact the road led over it for many
years. One morning a few years age
the neighbors awoke to see large
pond of water where the road had
been the night before.
Not far distant on the north is a
small lake and many thought that
the. Ge4rDy lake extended under
ground beneath this spot and that it
had finally broken through the crust
of earth. However, no fish could be
caught in the water there, though
various kinds are plentiful in the
lake.
The first time the road sank the
water covered it to no great depth,
and it was comparatively easily filled
in and the road continued to be used.
Several times it was filled in, though
it did not again sink so as to be en-
tirely submerged, and finally 1t was
thought that the road was perma-
nently repaired and it continued as
solid as ever for nearly three years
Then again, in one night and without
warning, the whole thing sank
from sight. The last person over 1t
was a young man. 1t was late Sun
dav night and his horse, in crossing
this place Waded water nearly two
feet deep. Next morning it could
not be measured by the longest rope
at hand.
Then the authorities went at it in
earnest to repair the place for all
time. as to buiId around 1t would be
next to impossible because of the
sheer hillsides on the south and the
lake on the other side. Legal OBJ
stacles we're also in the way OF
changing the line of the road.
Ten acres % heavy standing tim
Der we're bought, the trees were cut
and the logs. brush and all piled
into the sink hole Many Of these
logs were two feet in diameter. On
TOP of this hundreds OF cubic yards
of clay ard rock from the adjacent
hin were dumped, car being run
nm a track from the top Of the nil
tn the logs and enhptied upon them.
At last the engineers were through
and all said it would stay for all
time.
About Is months later the whole
spot sank again in night and TINS
time it will probably never be re-
haired. Of all the wood that was
dumped into that hole not even
twig ever appeared at the surface
of the lake. hence the only plausible
exclamation Of its disappearance
seems to be that of swiftly Rowing
subterranean river passing beneath
il deep down in the earth, thus WASH
ing the tons or logs and dirt away.
One scientist whose attention has
been directed to this mysterious spot
gives It as his opinion that the IN
derground river theory is right, ana
saws that this river undoubtedly IS
one that opens in the bottom Of Lake
Michigan, as a few such are kaoWn
TO do.

cpFATEST GAMBLING PLACE
IN EARTH is WALL STREET

year from the country in premi-
ums, and loan out most of it in Wall
street. The gamblers pay higher in
terest as a rule for the use of money
than men engaged in legitimate bust
ness can afford to pay, and thus
money is attracted from all parts of
the country to the gambling mart
Hence, also, banking institutions in
New York find it profitable to cater
more and more to the gamblers, to
the neglect of general business needs.
When last falls panic came on, di-
reCtly traCeable to Wall street gamb-
ling and to Wall street banking
methods, and not to general business
conditions, the country became
alarmed and drew it's money from
New York, and the government and
the clearing house and big bankers
and financiers had to go to the res
cue.
But is is worthy of note that it was
not general business they rushed in
to aid. 1t was gambling that re-
CURED succor. 1t was for gamblers
that the money of the people went
from the treasury at Washington to
Wall street. Probably it was right
it should go, because by that time
general business was involved be-
cause the banks were in trouble.
But it should not be forgotten, in
all considerations of future action
and policies, that the banks were in
trouble solely because of gambling
in stocks. General business has had
to pay pretty high price for the
doubtful satisfaction of keeping the
betting game going and preventing
it going all to smash and pulling
every one else down with it.
Gambling With Other Peoples Money
When Morgan, Stillman and Ba-
ker decided to lend $25 100000 and
trust to luck to get the $17,00O,000
of it they did not have in hand it
was not for the benefit, save indirect
ly, of trade and commerce. 1t was
directly for the salvation of the
gamblers.
During the panic week last Octo-
Der stock loans were actually in
creased, while commercial paper
loans were cut down. The gambler
had the preference, while solvent
merchants encountered great diff
Guilty in getting money enough to
carry on their business and meet
their obligations.

MENACE TO RURAL ROUTES
THE NEW POSTAL ORDER IN RE-
GARD TO NEWSPAPERS.
Griggs Has Called at
the Postoffice Department and
Presented This View OF 1t.


A writer in the Macon Telegraph
fears that the new postofiice rule in
regard to mailing newspapers to sub
scribers whose subscriptions are I'M
paid fears it will materially affect
the rural mail routes. He says:
Talking with a Georgia postmas-
ter on the cars yesterday he said II
the postal department of the gov
eminent pushed the new order that
no dailies be allowed to enter the
postoffice which were past due for
three months (weeklies one year,,
that the effect would be to destroy
many rural routes in this state.
This practical postmaster said:
Our farmers are in the habit OF pay
ing once a year, every fall, and are
not in-the habit of paying in advance,
and this new order viii require ad-
vance payment The result will be
that the publishers will be forced to
stop papers. and when a rural route
has no business, nothing doing, the
next thing will be to advise its dis
continuance. And so it will work in
the cotton belt.
80 spoke the old postmaster OF
no use to call his name. But
he knows bow it will pan out.
Right here it is justice to say that
to save these rural routes, knowing
the habit of farmers to pay once
year, but not in advance, Judge
James M. Griggs has called on the
third assistant postmaster-general
and presented to him the difficulties
and shown him how different are
conditions here from in the north.
mo other Georgia congressman or
senator so far has gone to the postal
department in person and shown
what hardship to Georgia rural
routes and to farmers the new order
will work except Judge Griggs.
Griggs is so practical that he saw al
a glance the new order would de-
stroy rural routes in the south. Ana
he went to headquarters at once TO
present the case. 1t is hoped he Will
succeed; otherwise in five years the
cotton belt will have but few II. r.

ferring with business men and 9TH
ers concerning the change which 1t

North of Americas the patronage
