when the boat got out a ways
from the dock the storm increas-
ed in violence, and the air was
filled with snow so that it was
impossible to get the bearings of
the boat the waters of the lake
were lashed into a fury. The
little craft was helpless against
the fury of the gale, and fearing
that his boat would drift upon
a reef and be pounded to pieces
the captain threw out the an
chor. His companion insisted that
they cut loose and allow the
boat to drift but Capt. Earring
ton knew the treacherous reefs
that bound the shores of the lake
and preferred to take his chances
with the anchor out and the boat
in deep water. Searching par
ties of men, out all night, expect
ed to find the dead bodies Of
the men or the wreckage of the
Diamond but it was not until
Sunday forenoon that the boat
was located by Capt. Fred Lind
quist who had come overland
from the Valley with a search
ing crew. The Diamond was
seen about three miles south of
the town of Diamond and Mr..
Lindquist and another man
succeeded in reaching it with a
life boat and rescuing the two
men whose only protection
against the fury of the storm
was a tarpaulin which was
froZe stiff. The curtains had
been whipped from the boat
and for 81 hours the two men
have been exposed to the
elements but the boat was saved
and probably their lives. The
boat was got to the dock by the
help of 3 launch and the next
morning the lake was frozen
over.
Some time ago the government
surveyed the lake. with a view to
putting lights on the reefs. ALL
the boats were put under the
government supervision, and the
officers made ammendable to all
the rules governing the crafts
on the Mississippi. but thus far
they have neglected to give
them satisfaction, on the matter
of harbor and reef lights. Had
they done this, such accidents,
which might cause loss of life,
might be avoided.

Land Opening is Undecided

A special from Waihsngton
says that no determination will
be reached for some time as to
the plans for opening to public
settlement portions of the Pine
Ridge Indian reservation in'South
Dakota. Congressman Martin of
tns state, now in Washington,
S !, S tAat it has not been decided
whether it will be advisable to
throw portions Of the reservation
open, or to wait until all lands
are apportioned and classified and
then open the entire tract.
There are more than 1000, 600
acres in the reservation which will
ultimately be subject to settle
ment.
Major Jasmes Mclaughlin, the
Indian Inspector, has reported to
the Indian bureau, that the Ind
ians are satisfied as to the terms
of the settlement.
The ultimate plan to be fol-
lowed in regard to the Pine Ridge
reservation will probably be de-
termined upon on the early part
Of the coming session Of congress.

Sensational Advertising.

Banum was a sensational
advertiser and on account Of
his sensational advertising, his
circus was a bowling success to
him, financially. 1t was Barnum
who said that the American
people must be humbugged.
Many automobile manufacture
ers are taking Barnum's style
of advertising great sensations,
something new and entirely
different from what they have
been selling. This proves the
machine they have sold have not
proven a success, so they must
put on the market a new car or
rather a new sensation.
I do not believe in Barnum's
style of advertising, nor do !
believe in Barnum's style of
doing business. His business
was to sell sensations at
enormous prices. I believe the
time has come when true value
must be given in return for
money, in order to continue a
successful business.
If you will read my ad in
this issue and then buy Ford
car, you will agree with me
later that it was not a sensa-
tion that you get, but a reliable
car and vo,1r n11rchase conSer.

Marquette, Mich, Sept. 1.-The
September term of the United States
Circuit Court, which is to convene in
this city tomorrow, will probably be
made notable by the trials of H. F.

der bond since their arrest early in
July last, following the failul of the
bank with heavy loss to depositors,
Larson, who was the cashier of the
bank, will have to answer to the
charge of making false entries set
ting forth that the bank owned in its
own right some $4,000 more in bonds
than it held and with taking bonds
valued at $4,000 from the deposit box
of depositor and representing them
as part of the assets of the bank.
Former President jain is accused
of aiding and abetting the cashier in
falsifying the books of the bank, while
George H. Beddow, who was the as
sistant cashier of the institution,
faces similar charge and also one
of embezzling $500.

COTTON CROP Of 1909

SO Secretary Hester Reports-He De.
clares All Records Broken.
Southern Mills Consumed
2,559,S73 Bales.
2,559,S73 Bales.

New Orleans, La, August 31.-Sta-
tistics showing that more cotton was
handled during the commercial year
ending tonight than ever before, and
that all records had been broken in
the amount of cotton consumed by
Southern mills. was the features of
the annual crop statement of Secre-
tary Hester, of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange. The document forms
the preliminary report of Secretary
Hester's annual review of the COM
mercial year.
Ihe count of the commercial crop
showed it to be the largest on REGARD,
l3,S25,457 bales. The previous largest
commercial crop was 1866 1856, mar
keted In 19O4-O5. Last seasons total
was only 11,571,966.
The very large total for this years
crop was surprise to the trade, in
Guiding both the bulls and the bears,
and II the figures had been issued
while trading was going on it is prob
able that they would have had a de-
pressing effect on prices
The most important feature in the
report next to the size of the crop it
self, was the statement on the amount
OF cotton consumed by Southern mills
during the season which closed today.
Here aer the records which were
again broken, the total being 1885,
873 bales. This point was regarded
by the bulls as being even of more
Importance than the size of the crop
Itself. 1t was taken as official confir-
nation of the many stories of the
great expansion of cotton manufac-
turing in the South. The figures COM
pared with 2,193,O0O last season, and
2,439, 900 two seasons ago. In the
point of port receipts, another record
was broken. Net receipts at all ports
for the season were put at 11,O62, ,S45
bales, against only S,579,842 last year,
and 9,919,555 two years ago.
Liverpool will have the first chance
to trade on the report. Tonight the
trade is about equally divided in opin-
ion of the effect of the total, bulls
claiming the bearishness of the big
crop is more than offset by the bull
ishness of the big consumption, in
spite of the claims of the bears, and it
is decidedly bearish. document
With the close of the cotton season
on August 81, the range of cotton fu-
ture quotations in the New Orleans
market shows marked gain over the
quotations on the same options a year
ago. The widespread ravages of the
boil weevil, the drouth in Texas and
other unfavorable conditions have re-
suited in material gains all down the
line and cotton is selling at prices
ranging from 4 to IL cents pound
higher than at this time last year.
The future quotations a year ago
ranged from 8 to 9 cents.

Tax on FOreign-Built Yachts.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 1.-The
new customs tax to be levied on for

questions have arisen in connection

the most of these have already been
settled by the Treasury Department.

The new tax applies to vessels in-
tended exclusively for pleasure craft,
which have not been admitted to
American registry, whether owned or
chartered. A tax of 81 per gross ton
is fixed by the new tariff act, but in
lieu of this annual assessment the
proprietor of the yacht may. in his
option. pay fiat tax of So per cent. ad
valorem, which will excuse him from
| the payment of any additional annual
| tax. Owners of oreign-built yachts
are now busy figuring on these two
propositions, to ascertain which form

OYSTER SEASON BEGINS.
Today marks the "Open Season" for
Biyalyes-New River Supply.

While the shipments of oysters to
local daelers will not begin until the
latter part of September, tho season
proper begins today, as always on the
first of September, and the market
will open with the usual demand for
the first shipments.
The season for the oyster is greeted
with much joy and reports from the
various large oyster markets 1ndi-
cate a good season for the bivalves.
Wilmington dealers usually receive
large shipments from New Bern, the
sounds and New River for interior
points, but always during the first
few weeks it is very dull with them.
The celebrated New River oysters,
which have for years been a favorite
with Wilmington people, will again be
favorite here, and it is generally
hoped that there will be an abundant
supply this year.
During the past few seasons there
has been a scarcity of New River oys-
ters, principally due to the fact thai
| the oystermen have been unable te
| get hands to help them during the
planting season and mussels have
been destroying them in the beds.

While off Cape Hatteras on August
3, bound for New York, Capt. Fritz
Borge and the crew of the fruit
steamer Chlotilde Cuneo witnessed
the novel sight of a school of twenty
five or more whales chasing millions
of large mackerel. The lookout on
the bow of the Cuneo, who had been
an old whaler, could not resist the
temptation to cry out Thar she
blows." as he first saw one of the
whales spouting. At that time the
vessel was about a mile from the
whales. Captain Borge ran in close
and they saw the rest of the school
and the sea apparently alive with
mackerel. The whales were driving
the mackerel ahead at furious rate,
and the small fish would leap clear
out of the water. A whale would come
to the surface, open his jaws and
gulp in barrel of the mackerel. The
chase continued for several miles, and
as the Cuneo drew away the whales
were still enjoying themselves at the
expense of the mackerel = Fishing
