IN sTATU QUO.

The Governors of Oregon and
Washington; the Master Fish War
dens. and the Attorneys General, OF
both States, have met and conferred
and the fisheries of the Columbia riv-
er are still saddled with the disagree
able problem that has arisen by the
application Of the new Oregon laws,
and with the inseparable irritation in
cident to the situation
Governor Chamberlin's attitude,
while it has the SAVIOR OF aggressive
ness, is beyond question, right so far
as precedent, law and equity can
make it right; and while everyone
wishes there was some way to har-
monize the contentious now upper
most, the law in the case as under
stood and promulgated from this
shore, must operate until such time
as higher intervening mandate
abates its force and application; and
in the interim, while the nice issues
now pending are being resolved to
some exact and equ table basis for
the regulation of the fisheries, by the
court OF last resort, the fishermen,
Gamers, trappers, wheelmen and sein-
ers, are likely to make the most of
an ungoverned condition and reap
another big harvest of fish.
We hope to see the matter brought
to speedy and equitable footing,
upon which all matters and men
figuring large, and small, in the busi-
ness, may carry it on without further
hitch, loss, discomfort or dispute, to
the end Of time itself.

CHICAGO Sept. l4.-Twelve per-

seriously that they are expected to
die in wreck on the Lake Shore and

night. A suburban train from Chica-

murder trial which promises no fewer
sensations than that OF Thaw, the
New York public is to-day being
lashed up to the point of interest by
the usual ministrations OF a corps OF
frenzied newspaper writers and pho

horrors OF the trial OF the Hains trag-

popular palate, Both sides in the
impending legal battle for the broth

the trial OF their case in the yellow
press for its possible effect on the
twelve jurors who must eventually
render the verdict. Startling as are
many OF the features OF this latest
story OF marital tragedy, however, it
does not appear to-day that its official
airing will rouse such public interest
as that which hung on the first Thaw

the consequences to others engaged

the American people should be al.

tells us that the money from the pock-

Golfers of the trusts. II the latter be
true, it must be because the people

are the cheapest, then they serve the
consumer rather than injure him. Mr..

conservatively at the opening of the
campaign, resolving evidently to get
the confidence of certain editors and
business men who could not stand
his aforetime radicalism, has broken

not meet his views, without regard to
method or consequences. AS usual,

WASHINGTON, Sept. l4-The

head of the New York College Of Ag-

CANNOT SPARE 1T.

The Sunday morning FIRE which
practically destroyed the plant of the
Astoria Lumber Company, was a
blow TO the city as we'll as to its
own interested people; because it
reduces the active industries of the
community by one, and we cannot
spare any of them, no matter ifs
scope or capital; they all stand for
the business life of the city and Sec
ton and have their place and intrinsic
plane
We, with other people hereabout,
deeply regret the loss, private, and
public, and hope at an early day the
plant and business will be restored
to even greater activity and business
success than it has known in the past.
While we are on the subject, it may
not be amiss to again urge the estab-

town The weight of comment there
all of Sunday last, was along this
line and it would evidently be sharply
appreciated by the good people with
homes and businesses there, if they
were given their own piece OF appara-
tus and even meagre paid help in the
handling Of it, until such time as con-
ditions warrant a full and regular
establishment.
Astoria has one of the best depart
ments in the State, and its chief and
men and horses do all that is within
possible range of their ability and
stations, to handle long-distance calls
with despatch; and they did not fail
at single point in this engagement
but an outfit on the ground might
at least have held things in check
till ampler help made all safe. This is
but a friendly suggestion inspired by
the quality of expression current at
the scene of the fire on Sunday last.

With the originator OF the affinity
fad languishing in a suburban jail on
charge OF beating his new soul mate,
all Gotham is ready to-day TO close
the conspicuous public incident In
which Artist Earle has held himself
up TO popular notice and condemna-
tion. Men OF the ilk OF Earle have
for years exploited various brands OF
socialism and communism about this
town with small following and great
harm to the common ideals OF home
life. No one is sorry that this sad
story, TO which too much attention
was called at its start, has finished In
this ignominious fashion. With youn-
ger New York intent on the exploita-
tion which is always given to such
freak fads in the papers, no greater
good could come than this final show
ing up OF the Earle experiment.

to-day that his days are numbered as
public official and no one has even
suggested him as a candidate for any
thing further but private practise.
Five years from now the name OF Je-
rome will be forgotten, the veteran
politicians declare, and the achieve
ments as we'll as the mistakes Of this
militant man will 60 down into abb
solute oblivion.

SOIL SURVEY TO BEGIN
EARLY IN OCTOBER
Promise is Given Congress-
man Lewis.

An accurate and careful survey of
the soils of Sumter county, made by
experts of the Agricultural Depart
ment, is to be made, as promised, and
the work will be entered upon in
October, according to the latest in
formation thereupon.
Congressman E. B. Lewis took up
the subject with the Agricultural De
partment some time since and secur-
ed promise of an early survey and
soil map of the county
Quite recently Capt. John A. Cobb
wrote Mr.. Lewis regarding the mat
ter, and on yesterday received the
following favorable reply.
Montezuma, Ca. July q, 1908.
Hon. John A. Cobb, Americus, Ca.
Dear Sir-Your letter of the 18th
inst, received. The Agricultural De-
partment assured me most positively
that the soil survey of Sumter coun-
ty would be made, or begun, in Oct
ober, and l feel no fears of their
good faith herein"
"Am always glad to serve you
With best wishes, sincerely yours,
''E. B. LEWIS"
Such soil map, as proposed, would
be of inestimable value, indicating
as it would, the quality of soil in
every part of the county and it's adap-
liability to crops.

TIE
General Dem and

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy

DISPLAY ROOM FOR
BOARD OF TRADE
Will be Opened on Lamar
St. on Sept. |.

The committee appointed from the
Board of Trade to select a perman-
ent place for exhibits of the industries
of Americus and Sumter county, have
secured the building at No. 305 Lamar
street, next to the corner of Cotton
avenue and belonging to Mr. Jos.
Hightower. Possession will be CIV
en- on Sept I.
In the interval before the opening
of the display room, a collection will
be made of as many products of
the county and city as can be gotten
together. Additions will be made from
time to time, until a full display is
made.
The place secured is we'll suited
for the purpose, being about sixty
feet deep by thirty feet in front. A
skylight greatly aids the display of
wares of any kind The building is
admirably located and will supply a
need which has been felt by the mem
bers on many occasions. Visitors can
be taken to see the possibilities of
the county in the way of products of
the soil, while industrial enterprises
will also be represented.
The question of having the room
kept open any specified hours has
not yet been decided 1t is possible
it will only be used when some mem
ber has friends to show the exhibits,
or when out-of-town gentlemen come
to look over the prospects for invest
ment in Americus and Sumter coun-
ty.

BOARD DID NOT SEND
REPRESENTATIVES
Funds Raised for Fighting
freight Advance.

Though two representatives were
appointed to attend the hearing today
before the Georgia Railroad Commits
sion at Atlanta on the proposed in
crease in freight rates to the South
east, it was decided yesterday that
little good could be accomplished by
the trip, which would be an expen-
sive one, as we'll as take up valuable
time of the delegates from the Board
of Trade.
The change of plan was made when
it was ascertained that an organized
effort to prevent the putting into
effect of the raise on the part of the
wholesale grocers was being made.
Mr.. G. w. Glover and Mr. Frank Ian
ier head of the local wholesale gro
Gerry houses, were notified by long
distance telephone of an effort to
raise $4,000 to fight the raise before
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and the gentlemen named were ask
ed to contribute.
1t was figured yesterday by Presi-
dent Allen and other members of the
Board of Trade, that the case would
be fully presented to the state com
mission today, and that the real
fight is to be waged before the in
terstate commission. Hence it was
not considered advisable to use the
funds of the Board and the time of
the representatives in making the
trip to Atlanta. The railroad com
mission has already been informed of
the fact that the Americus Board
of Trade stands squarely against an
increase in freight rates
The commission will prepare a
protest for Georgia shippers against
the proposed advance, which is esti-
mated at $40 to $40 per car.
