The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1909-07-22

One good sign in the discussion at
the North Carolina Press meeting at
Hendersonville was the tendency to-
ward development of local communi-
ties, especially as to farming enter
prise and small industries. Every
community must tell its own story,
and tell it well, because the lack of
proper information will initiate
against it. The people of such a
section will have an easier wav of
living and an equal chance with
others-North Wilkesboro Hustler.

WHEN at the Press Convention in
Hendersonville Editor ID. l.. St. Clair
of the Sanford Express, was nominal
ted for poet next year some member
asked il he could write poetry and
requested that he give them some
evidence of his acquaintance with the
divine atflatus. Modest Young man
that he is he declined to give himself
away. But the member who was
championing his cause and proclaim
ing his qualifications declared that
he could write real poetry and
promised if they would elect St.
Clair he'd be there with the goods at
the next convention. In last week S
Express We find a couple of samples
OF the Press Association poets YER
styling entitled Over the Hills of
Otalay," and The Old Plantation
in Dixie The last named we have
transferred to our columns and it
will be found printed on the first
page OF the paper. Ii Brother St.
Clair is not poet born it is evident
from his lines and the sentiment
therein expressed that he was born
where poets are made-in the coun-
try-and was brought up close to
nature.

PROSPERITY SHOWN
BY TRADE FIGURES

That the manufacturing industries o.
the United States have fully recovered
from the panic conditions of last year
is shown in a report made today by the
Department o. Commerce and Labor.
The value Of raw materials imported
in January. 1909. was very much
greater than OF those brought in dur
ing January, 1908, and in some cases
even greater than those Of January
1907, when all the factories Of the coun-
try were running full blast.
There was an advance ia the imports
OF copper and copper ore over 1903. but
a slight decrease from he amount i'm
ported in 1907
In Januar. 2. this yaar more than
5000 tons Of hners were imported. IN
The same month OF 1908 there were but
2. 629 tons brought in. and in 1907 buu
4l.641 tons.
In January. 1863. there were Jos. 80 tons
of iron ore. as compared with 5G695
tons during January. 1905 and 81. 100 tons
IN January, 1907. There was a slight
decrease from 1867 in the tobacco trade
but very substantial increase over tho
lear imported last year.
Considerably more than 24,O0O, 90
pounds Of raw wool were imported last
January, whereas there were $500, 295

THE COAL FIELDS OF
ROGUE RIVER VALLEY

Coal occurs at many localities in
the Rogue River valley of south
western Oregon, between the Cascade
mountains on the east and the Klam-
ath mountains, locally called the Sis
kiyou mountains, on the west. A
long, narrow coal belt stretching to
TIE south and southeast in the Rogue
river valley east of Medford and Ash
land, Ore, and continuing through
the Siskiyou mountain divide into
California, a total distance of nearly
100 miles, is described by ]. S. Diller
of the United States geological sur
vey, in a report issued by the survey
as bulletin 341-C. This report is now
ready for free distribution.
The principal prospects in this belt
have been made near Medford and
Ashland, but others have been made
on Evans creek. to the north, and
near Ager in California, to the south.
Mr.. Diller states. however that al
though the coal beds have been pros
pected at six localities between Evans
creek and Ashland, a distance of 40
miles, the evidence thus far available
does not indicate the continuity of
the same coal beds throughout that
distance, but rather the development
of small beds a few miles in greatest
extent parallel to the coal belt ana
to the old shore line along which the
vegetation accumulated in swamps to
form coal. The coal in these beds
shows decided Improvement toward
the northeast.
At present the coal beds from Ager
to Evans creek have only local in
terest as the source of fuel, but If de-
tailed Investigations in the future
should show these deposits to be
more extensive than is now supposed

TUBERCULOSIS INCREASES.
Authorities Declare That the Tuber.
cuIar Cow Is RESPONSIBLE.

Washington.-Tha the vigorous
campaign against tuberculosis has
failed to check the great white
plague, was the startling charge made
today by Nathan Straus, the New
York phllanthropist, at the fifth an
nual meeting of the National associa-
ton for the study and prevention of
tuberculosis.
Mr. Straus backed UP his assertion
by official statistics from the New
York health department, showing an
increase of S3 per cent in two years
in cases of tuberculosis in the city
that DIR. Koch described as leading the
whole world in the fight against the
disease.
The reason for this failure to make
headway, Mr.. Straus declared, was
the neglect of the mischief wrought
by the tuberculous dairy COW. Citing
the results of scientific investigation
and his own IS years experience in
saving lives, he summed up by saying
that the abolition of tuberculosis
would begin when it was made a
crime to sell milk unless 1t came from
tuberculin-tested cows or those which
had been properly pasteurized.
Because of illness of the president,
DR.. Vincent Bowditch of New York,
Homer Folkes of New York City,
vice president, presided. In his ad-
dress, Mr.. Folkes declared that one
of the pressing needs now was for
adequate hospital provision for con-
sumptives in the intermediate and ad-
vanced stages.
The report of the executive secre-
tary, Livingston Harrington, showed
new membership of 500, making a
total of 2107 During the year "a
out of 40 state legislatures had con-
sidered tuberculosis legislation.

A special railroad order has been
made for Pendleton fishermen and

ing back at II o'clock at night, does
not provide for any stops east of
Pendleton, excepting at Gibbon and

A special order has been made,
however, stating that for the present
these trains on Sunday and Sunday
evening will stop at all the stations
along the line on this side of the
mountain, when desired as in the
past. With the exception of the fact
that early time for tho arrival of the
morning train breaks into the nights
sleep, the accommodations are prac-
tically the same as in the past.

declared that instead of getting up in

Flour At Its Highest.s

Portland.-Followlng closely the
prediction that a big raise was due
in the price of flour, that staple rose
to the price of 1925 per barrel this
week. Owing largely to the work of
Patten, the flour king. flour has ris-
en- an average of 20 cents barrel
each month for the past seven and a
half months.
The last rise, one of 90 cents,
brought the price per barrel up to
1925. Starting at $40 per barrel
on September IS the price of flour
has risen steadily ever since till the
top mark was reached yesterday.

higher" said T. B. Wilcox, president
Of the Portland Flouring mills last

stop buying the higher priced patent
flours and will use a cheaper brand
of cereal. I do not look for any high
