Plan Another Bio Ditch

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-A deep
water channel from Chicago to Buff
falo via the 800" is in contemplation.
In a few days a measure will be intro
duced in congress providing for the
complete survey and perhaps for the
construction of such waterway That
the plan is feasible is indicated by the
fact that already there is a Chicago
to-Buffalo channel twenty-one feet
deep.

It was found that it would be much
easier to take the body of Freitas to
the bottom of the gorge and then out
by the mouth of the West Fork than
to get it to the top. This was done
after the coroner had arrived.
The dead boy was the son Of Joseph
Freitas and was well known in the
neighborhood in which he lived. Young
Schultz is a carpenters apprentice and
works for an uncle with whom he lives.
Lennon, who brought the rescuers to
the boys relief, is a schoolboy living
with his parents.

Dun's Weekly Review.

2 New York, August 6-R. G.. Dun & Co. 8
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Every important development of the
week confirms the revival of trade which
set in even with the tariff under discus
sion and which has no vital obstacle to
oppose it now that the tariff bill has
passed both houses of Congress and has
become law.
A keener interest is manifested in the
iron and steel market each succeeding
week. Brokers are operating with great
er freedom and producing interests dis
play more independence in making COM
mitments. Higher totals of pig iron pro-
duction and other evidences of rapid ex-
pansion appear. Numerous inquiries have
been received for orders running into 1910,
but little actual business has been DONE
The expected advance on plates and
shapes was announced, the ruling price
now being 81. 40 Pittsburg. This reflects
the broadened demand for cars and other
equipment, one prominent railroad con-
tracing for 5000 cars while many other
orders are pending.
Dry goods jobbing trade is expanding
and among large western distributors col
lections are excellent and credit cond-
lions sound. The retail trade is beginning
to come to the markets at the central
distributing points, but operations thus
far have been conservative. The primary
cotton goods and cotton yarn markets
have been unsettled by the huctuating
values in the raw cotton market following
a low condition report by the government.
The demand for mems wear for spring
continues to be large and there is still
a good call for fall fabrics. The largest
mills are fully supplied with business.
The market for hides and leather is still
unsettled owing to price readjustments
to the new tariff bill admitting hides free
of duty
Foreign hides have advanced 10 per cent
or more and domestic hides have declined
less than per cent. The leather market
continues very dull. Trade in shoes con-
tinues moderate and most of the buyers
who were in Boston have bought fewer
shoes than they intended and have de-
layed the placing Of orders for later de-
livery until it Is more certain what eff
feet the changed duties on hides leather
and shoes will have on the market.

REGISTRY SYSTEM
NOT PROFITABLE

Washington, August 6.-Surprised at re-
ports that the registry system Of the
postoffce department has not proved
profitable, Postmaster General Hitchcock
has taken prompt action with a view of
making the system self-sustaining. He
has appointed a special committee to in
vestgate the whole subject.
The committee will recommend meth
DDS by which the revenues of the registry
system may be increased and it's cost of
operation reduced without impairing its
safety.
The committee will cooperate with the
committee on Standardization of forms
appointed in April, 1908, and it will re-
port what progress is being made to the
third assistant postmaster general.
The committee consists of Charles H.
Mcbride, assistant superintendent of the
railway mail service; George L. Wood,
assistant superintendent of the division
of salaries and allowances, offices of the
first assistant postmaster general, and
Henry ID. Temple, assistant superintend-
ent division of registered mail, offices of
the third assistant postmaster general.
Official figures Indicate the registry sys-
tenn is expensive, but it's value to the
public is so generally appreciated that a
Sigh. increase in the registry fee would
hardly be resisted If it became necessary
to thus increase the revenue for the pur-
pose of remedying the deficit. The Post
master General is authorized by law to
make the registry fee as high as 20 cents,
but it is not probable that it will be in
creased to more than 10 cents, II 1t is
found necessary to raise the rate.
The fee at present is cents

LABOR IS SCARCE
IN MANY LINES
Crop Prospects Are Tempered
Down BY Reports
EXPORTS ARE GROWING
General Business Situation Is consid-
cred Essentially Sound and Fail
ures Are Lighter Than
for Three Years.
EXPORTS ARE GROWING

New York. August 6.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
With the advent of August the new
tariff has become an accomplished fact
the leading crops are assuming more
tangible form with some tempering OF
earlier exuberant estimates of yield; high
premiums on old supplies of farm prod
ucts are disappointing and the usual fall
buyers excursions are bringing purchas-
ers to leading markets. There is also
noted this year what was absent for two
preceding years growing scarcity OF la
Dor. With the enlargement of the new
movement wheat supplies have begun to
increase and a renewal of export buying
is reported. This, coupled with enlarged
movement of coal, lumber, iron and steel
and general merchandise is giving the
railroads more to do and there is already
talk of the disappearance of idle cars
from the list. Building continues very
active. That the general business situa-
ton is essen TALLY sound is also evidenced
by comparatively small number of bus
mess suspensions and the lightest month
ly failure liabilities witnessed for three
years past.
On the other hand there are some
features of the trade and industrial situa-
ton not as yet clearly defined. High raw
material cost makes for caution in plac-
ing orders In some lines of cotton goods
and the advance in the prices of some
lines OF finished iron and steel is claimed
to have discouraged some new business.
As yet the high cost of wool and of tn
finished goods has not seemed to affect
demand in that line but hides are easier,
claimed to be due to tariff changes, and
buying of leather shows a lull pending
a clearer view of possible effects thereof.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending with August ., were
1S4. against 223 last week, and 2O5 in the
like week of 1908.

"Buster Brown" Coming.

Master Reed IS soon to appear here
in Buster Brown" Buster and his dog
pal ''Tige" will be presented in man
ner that wilt delight the cockels OF ev-
cry small boys heart Cluster Brown
which will come to Island Park thea
ter next Monday, June 49, for one
week, is said to be even funnier than
Outcaults famous cartoon. Cartoon
plays as a rule are unholy horrors,
but this decentralization of Outcault's
creation is one of those exceptions
which prove the rule. 1t is not the
dramatiZation itself which scores par
ticularly, but the characterization of
Buster and his dog. Master Reed, who
will be seen as Buster" is said 20 be
an elfin wonder. No larger than a
fairly well developed child of three, its
said he acts with a child's simplicity
and yet with technical knowledge
which stamps him from the outset as
a consummate little artist. One of the
most attractive scenes is said to- b.
where Buster jabbers French like a
native. Master Reeds accent is laid
to be delight. Nib Lamar, tits said,
makes Tige a four-legged masterpiece,
instead of sending all facial expression
to the diminutive boW-wows, as his
predecessors, in this most trying part
have done. Most actors have sufficient
difficulty in making their own physical
features seem almost human. on the
stage, but when it comes to hiding
ones face behind canine mask and
still making it speak louder than
words. there's an artist in the offering
somewhere. In this case, Mr.. Lamar is
the man behind the dog. To thousands
and thousands of youngsters Buster
and his canine pal are quite as real
and far more important than any of
the heroes of Mother Goose or their
Sunday school lessons, and to have
them represented on the stage in any
but the realistic form, would have been
as futile as it would have proved ia
tai. But boy and dog, they have met the
public and the public is theirs for a
long time to come. The Cluster
Brown" Co. has an entire new scenic
dress this summer and gorgeous new
costumes as well. The musical numbers
are said to be of the .whiStling kind
and the cast the best yet seen in this
most enjoyable cartoon comedy. Per-
formances every evening. Matinees

Diseases
of the Hair

The scalp is the seat of many hair dis
eases. Out of the pores of the scalp con-
stantly comes an oily secretion, together
with cast-of cells and waste matter that
Nature has no further use for. The oily
secretion is intended to keep the scalp
moist and supple, and to give lustre and
beauty to the hair. However, dust, dirt
and disease germs floating in the air settle
upon the head, and the oily secretion holds
them fast In time scales and dandruff
form, the pores become clogged, and the
first thing you know your hair begins to
fall out child ought to see that the
hair isn't at fault, but the scalp. You don't
need tonic" or grower" or "renewer''
or ".rejuvenator." Most of those things are
rank frauds. If you have tried them, you
know it. What you need is cleanser. The
trouble with soaps and shampoos generally
IS that they remove all the oily secretion
from the hair and the scalp, and rob them
OF the very thing that Nature provided to

hair lustrous. You are advised to try Birt's
Head Wash, which is not merely some
thing to clean the scalp and hair, but it re-
places the oil that it removes. There is in
it free oil that leaves on both the scalp,
and hair just about the same amount Of
oily matter that Nature herself supplies.
Birt's Head Wash cleans the head thor
oughly, and when you are through your
hair will have beautiful lustre and sheen.
