What AerOplanes
Cost In France
The Industry Having A Great
Boom There.

Paris, Aug. 28.-The aeroplane
industry has developed in France
with as much rapidity as did the
manufacture of automobiles in the
infancy of the land machine and
now there are in France a number
of well-equipped aeropIane factories
turning out machines to their full
capacity.
A little over a year ago there were
less than 100 aeroplanes in ell Eu-
rope, principllay in France, but
statistics of construction show that
since the first cross-channel flight
Bleriot has built $50 duplicates of the
monopIane with which he crossed
from Calais to Dover, and Farman
has manufactured in his works over
800 biplanes. Other types bring the
French production up 10 ABOUT ooO'
which have been sold for something
over $2,5O0,0O0. The small Bleriot
sold at first for $4,000, but after its
success in crossing the channel the
price was raised and the latest types
now cost from $500 to $500.
The catalogue prices Of other i'm
portant makes are: For the Farman
$500; for the Voisin, $4,000. fol
the Antoinette, $4,000; for the
Wright, which is manufactured here
under an arrangement with the IN
ventor, $4,000, and for the Sommel
machine, $4,000.

This makes it utterly impossible for

Cotton OF Two Cents
Under Tuesdays Price

New York, Aug. 31-Trading in
August cotton, which has shown
such sensational AUCTIONS in the
market during the past week, ended
at noon today, and the last sale re-
corded was at IS cents a pound,
comparing with 20 cents, the eX-
IRENE high level reached on Monday
and again Tuesday morning. The
action of the market this morning
SUGGESTED that the speculative short
interest had succeeded in covering
on the advance Of the earlier week
and this morning there were a few
contract offerings said to be against
cotton that had been brought here
by express from Boston or other
New ENGLAND mill points for delivery
at the last moment. AS there were
no speculative shorts, apparently,
who were forced to by this cotton,
the price broke quickly,
The first sale was at 1880, COM
pairing with 1910 at the close last
night, and from that figure the price
went down to IS cents, or 40 points
below the closing figure Of yesterday
and 2 cents under the high record.
Possibly 500 bales changed hands
on this decline. The last sale was
made at II O'Clock at Is cents, and
later there was an offer at 17.5O.
There was no excitement whatever.
Later deliveries were only moderate
ly active during the morning and
after opening 4@11 points lower,
showed no particular features.
Cotton spot closed quiet, 225
points lower; middling uplands, IT,
So middling gulf, 1775. Sales, So

The following clipping from the

dicates the interest being shown In
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. high
J, way:
To the Hawkinsville Dispatch and
News.
Apropos of the agitation about the
location of the highway route be-
tween Atlanta and Jacksonville, we
beg space to say that we understood
this controversy to have been final
" settled more than year ago when
scouting parties inspected various
proposed routes, including the Wen
na-Ashburn route, and officially de-
cided unanimously in favor of the
Abbeville route. This has since been
Generally recognized, worked and
widely advertised as the official
highway route and should not now
be changed without good cause.
We submit that in any compar-
ison of merit the decision must be
in favor of the Abbeville route. A
mere glance at the map will show
any one that this route is much
shorter and more direct than the
proposed Vienna-Ashburn route.
Any statement to the contrary is
based upon a tricky" speedometer
That route necessitates a long, sharp
elbow" at Ashburn in turning to or
from FITZGERALD and Waycross.
Again, the soil formation along the
Abbeville-Hawkinsville route is
much better adapted to road making
than the other route. We have but
few long slippery clay hills, our sur
face is more nearly level, and has a
hard clay subsoiI with just enough
sand on it to make it dry and hard
and keep it from sticking. The Ash
burn route is one long slick clay hill
after another and can never be made
into a good, easy road, especially in
wet weather. Half the wrecks are
on such slippery hills.
The counties along the Abbeyille
route are all in accord with the high

the faith of its previous designation

In conclusion, we submit that the
shortness and natural superiority of
the Abbeville route, together with
the work we are going to put on it,
will make it the generally travelled
route, whether it is the designated"
route or not. The permanence and
popularity of the highway can be as
sured only by locating it where it
will be constantly and conveniently
travelled. Give encouragement to
the counties along this generally

their road, and at the same time in
sure permanence to the highway by
permitting it to remain on the pre-
viously designated Abbeville route.

Abbeville, Aug, IS, 1910.
We thoroughly agree with Mayor
Patten. The route suggested is the
most direct way to reach Jackson
vile from Atlanta, and we can see
no good reason why it should not be
used. The road thru Pulaski county
has already been put in good shape
with view to using this route and
the roads thru other countries along
this line have been improved for the
same reason. We regret to see an
effort being made to change the route
and hope it will fail, as it ought to-

There are two other Mormon elders
who are clamoring for recognition In

much as The Tribune, contrary to the
method of the Deseret News and the
Mormon church. believes in doing equal
justice TO all, the clamorers shall have
their just due.
Elder John Hardy was the first bish
op Of Pacheco, Mexico. He went down
there from Utah at the time that the
Mexican colony was esta blshed as a
refuge for Mormon Melchisedck Grim,
mails He was polygamist when he
left Utah; but that was not enough to
satisfy his yearning to olive his reli-
gion' So that in the year 1898 he
married as a third wife a Miss Sellers
of Pacheco, and followed that up with
marrying fourth, Miss Lizzie Butler,
in the year 1904. Brother Hardy is not
now bishop of Pacheco but that is not
on account of the fact that he is new
polygamist-it is probably because he
is not new polygamist often enough.
Elder Ezariah Brown is resident of

A PLAIN DUTY NEGLECTED.

1t is observed that in the official no.
tice of the accommodation of Elder
Charles Woolfenden of Beaver, signed
by Elder William G. Buckley, clerk of
the high council of the Beaver stake.
the cause for excommunication is given
in that Elder Woolfenden 3fviolated the
manifesto issued by the late President
Wilford Woodruff, and adopted by The
church.
If there is honesty in the membership
of the Salt Lnke stake of Zion, some
resident in that ecclesiastical subdivis-
ION will now prefer a charge against
Joseph F. Smith upon the same ground
on which Elder Woolfenden was ex-
communicated Elder Nephi L. Morris,
who is president of that stake and of
its high council, will entertain the
charge and proceed with trial of the
president of the church for violation of
the Woodruff manifesto. Proof to sus-
tain the charge can be had in Joseph
f. Smith s own Interpretation of the
Woodruff manifesto, and in his Wash.
ngton testimony TO the effect that he
is not abiding by the same. or course.
the case will have to go to the bishop
of the ward in which President Smith
lives. He claims residence in the six
teenth ward. of which Elder Edwin +.
Parry is bishop. Edwin is a meek man
and a good one, as we know, and he is
usually particular as to attendance to
all of his ecclesiastical duties; but we
doubt very much if he could have the
courage to now proceed against his SUI
perior as would seem to be his plain
duty toward his church and his State.
The Tribune is competently advised that
If any infraction Of church rule were
committed by any other member of his
ward Bishop Parry would cause the
formation OF proper complaint against
the man; and at this time it is evident
that If be has sufficient stamina to pro-
ceed with his duty he will vindcate
