LUMBER DEMAND ACTIVE

WASHINGTON. b. c., Sept. IT,
President Finley, of the southern
Railway, who has been looking into
business conditions in the Southeas-
tern States says:
'On the whole. conditions are en-
eouraging. In agriculture the pre-
sent outlook Is particularly good. The
cotton crop is latter than usual. and
lis, therefore. more subject to future
weather conditions than Is usual al
this time of the year However, the
condition report of the United States
Agricultural Department issued Sep
TENDER 2, showed better average
condition of the growing cotton CROP
in the States south of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers and east of the Mis-
sissippi than on the corresponding
date last year, and the area planted
was reported In June as l40,0Ol
acres greater than last year.
Corn Crop Record Breaker.
With ordinarily favorable weather
conditions until the crop la harvested
the largest corn crop on record FOL
that section The area planted i:
more than a million and half acres
greater than last year, and the con-
dition reports issued on September
showed a better condition In Mississ-
sippi than in any other state in tbs
United States. with Alabama close
second, and with good condition re-
ported from each Of the other South
eastern States. The increased corr
crop of the South will have an i'm.
portant bearing on general trade con-
ditions. for localities which have for
merry bought considerable corn from
other parts of the country are grow
ing in some cases all. and in other
cases. the greater part of what they
will require this year. and will be ir
q position to buy other commoditie.
on a larger scale.
Production Curtailed.
Coal cotton mill industry of the
world has been passing through q
prolonged period of depression due
TO the inability Of manufacturers te
market their products at prices com.
mensurate with the prices OF their raw
material. This has resulted In ma,
terial curtaiiment of production IL
the South as well as In other cottor
mill centers- In the meantime. con.
sumption OF cotton goods throughout
the world is continuing. Stocks In
the hands of merchants are being re.
duced. and there is every reason to be,
lieye that as soon as the size OF this
years crop can be more accuratel.
estimated. there will be an active de.
mand for cotton goods OF all kind.
at prices bearing such relation to ths
raw material as to stimulate the mil
industry.
Taking all factors OF the situa.
ton into consideration. I am encour.
aged to believe that, with average
weather conditions and In the absence
of an unusually early killing frost
we may look forward to an active
fall and winter business in the South

STATE IS DOING
LARGE BUSINESS
Reports of Treasurer and Auditors
Show Heavy Increase for
Year.
TRYING NEW METHODS
Books Balanced Daily-Sinking
Fund in Prosperous Condi-
ton.

Annual reports now being COM
piled by the State treasurer and first
and second auditors for the year end
according TO figures now available
that the business OF the State In
creased by nearly half a million dol
lars during the year. while many i'm
portant new issues were successfully
handled.
Books In the State treasurer's Office
indicate an increased real estate
assessment all over Virginia which
will result in a large advance in taxes.
Balances are being taken and proved
with checks procured from other
State departments and these show
an Increase in every part or the work.
In the matter of salary and ex-
pense checks alone an unusual In
crease is shown, in that the number
of checks so far signed and delivered
Is about 2,o00 greater than the num-
Der issued in 1903.
The accounts of the second auditor
show perhaps the greatest change
from conditions of 1909. A complete
change has been made in the system
OF bookkeeping. and all the accounts,
which were more or less scattered,
are now collected I'm such manner
that any desired item can be found
Immediately.
Daily Balances.
Balances are made daily where
monthly checks were made in 1909, and
the bond accounts are checked with
the treasurer's office every six months.
whereas before the new methods We're
hardly compared more than once in
eight or ten years.
The second auditor has under con-
for the State debt is entirely In his
charge, while he also supervises the
payment Of the school and literary
fund. The school fund this year is
about 100000 larger than in 1909. while
increased by about twice that amount.
The report OF this department win
show that q number OF fractional GER
tificates have been bought In. such
purchases being authorized by the last
Legislature to clear up confusion re-
sulting from the existence OF bonds OF
small denomination.
More than 100000 has been added
to the sinking fund over the figures
Of last year. and the report shows that
the debt matter Is now In excellent
condition, the total amount being an
nually decreased substantially. Il be-
ing shown that at the present rate OF
payment the entire obligation will be
wiped out In q short tina

Mr.. Faeles word against Mr.. Wat
Hon's. We would recommend that
Mr.. Watson be paid 81 so out of the
Koolaupoko road fund. Charges of
dishonesty have been made against
Mr. Paele, we find that Mr.. Paele is
thoroughly honest.
THE only tnmg we can say is,
that he is very careless in his bust
ness matters. He is also charged
with ordering a luna to sign a pay
roll for the men. We find that this
was done in one instance. Mr. Ha-
leakala signed the payroll for Mr..
Watson which amounts to $3.50, but
Mr.. Watson received the amount.
Mr.. Paele claimed that he did not
authorize Haleakala to sign the pay
roll. We believe that signing payrolls
has been practiced in the country
more or less.
I'VE recommend this practise be
stopped as it is a criminal act, and
liable to get the one who signs the
payroll for another without being
duly authorized to do so in writing,
they lay themselves liable to he pro
secuted 70" forgery.
''ln this instance there was no
harm done by Mr.. Paele of Mr.. Ha-
leakala. They seem to be ignorant
of the law and the consequences of
such matters. "

his wife's mother went away for an

Council Committee Announces Def
mite Policy-Question of Removals
Goes To Prosecutor.

A short. whispery session OF the
council committee on liquor regula
ton was held. Tuesday morning, al
which the five aldermen composing
the committee discussed future pol
Icy.
The majority decided firmly that nc
more applications for liquor licenses
shall be approved. This cuts on all
petitions for new saloons TO take the
places Of the ones which have gone
out Of business through the inability
OF men who secured approval OF their
applications to get bonds.
II was decided to refer TO Prosecut'
ing Attorney Van Zile the question
as to whether the council has the
power TO allow removals OF q saloon
business from one location to another.
Three such cases are now before the
committee. In one OF these the From
tier Engine works has purchased the
property occupied by Harry Tyler at
No. sos Fort-st. west as q site for =
new factory; In another the building
now used as a saloon IL to be torn
down, and the saloonkeeper wants to
remove to another place, and In the
third instance the saloonkeeper
lease has expired and he has been
unable to renew II.
The committee will also refer to
the prosecutor an ordinance prepared
by Aid. link which would govern the
matter OF removals.
An off.hand opinion has already
been given to the effect that the coun
ell has not the power to approve 81
removals. II this Is confirmed by
more definite opinion, the result Will
be that a great many saloons will be
put out of business in the city during
the year. LII
