The great yield OF Russia for 1908.
rs shown by the revised Official re.
turns which have Just been received
by the United States Department Of

three successive short crops, the great

bushels the previous record OF Rus.

MYERS SENTENCED.
Given Five Year Term, but Case May
be Appealed.

In the circuit court this morning a
motion for a new trial for Ed. Myers,
recently convicted of manslaughter,
was overruled. Myers has been sent
enced to serve term of years in the
state prison. The case will probably
be appealed.
The jury, in declaring Jack Rogers,
charged with running blind tiger, not
guilty, evidently came to the conclu-
sion that they should not convict on
evidence given by man who is be-
ing paid for his testimony, as Attor-
ney Curry made the basis OF
his plea the fact that Ham
nett, who was employed by
the city to act as private detective
and run down blind tigers, was receiv
ing 500 for services rendered, and
that it was up to Hammett to convict
In his speech to the jury Mr.. Curry
pointed out that Hammett had no cor
ttoliLlohy tilOh6h hC NCuiN
easily have done SO, and that Jacl
Rogers admitted Hammett calling ant
asking for whiskey but stated that HI
(Jack) had told Hammett that h
had quit selling booze. Said Attorne.
Curry, Il say Hammett is testifyinl
for money. l say that Hammett ha
absolutely fabricated in telling thi
story. l put it to you men as a reas
enable proposition, does the testimon
of that man Hammett, with all tn
suspicion surrounding it, outweigh tn
testimony of Jack Rogers, which
corroborated by his wife, Carrie Roo

GOVERNMENT MAY RAISE CUT
AND SELL TIMBER FROM
SUNkEN LOGS.
WOULD PAY FOR The SNAG WORK
Fine Conservation" Idea Suggested
BY Engineer Who Has Investi-
gated Conditions.

Close on the heels of the project to
clear Leaf river and make it naviga-
BILE, comes the announcement by ]. M.
Pratt, of the war department, who has
been investigating the work in ques-
ton, that the chief obstruction to navi-
cation is not so much the shallowness
of the river as the large number OF
sunken saw-logs; but, here comes in
the true conservation idea; the gov
ernment, Mr.. Pratt says, will raise
these logs, manufacture them into
square timber and sell the timber; and
will go largely towards paying for the
work of snagging the river.
Mr.. Pratt is the civil engineer O
the war department, with headquar
ters at Mobile, but the greater portion
of his time is spent at the work on thu
river, and Mr.. Pratt, who is perhap
better advised than most people on tn
subject, is not one of the doubtin
Thomases, as to the feasibility or praC
ticabilitv of making Leaf river navigf
BILE.
In a letter to Mayor Donald, M
Pratt says that if the number of log
that may be brought to the surfaC
is sufficient to justify it, the goverl
ment will erect a portable or floatin
sawmill, and carry the same from poll
to point along the river and take tn
logs where they are found and convei
them into square timber, at compar
lively little cost.
