FEAR FOUL PLAY
Young Man From Brooklyn Nysteriously
Disappears and Bis
FRlENES ARE ANXIOUS
Edward j. Boyd, Travelling Agent
for an Advertising Firm, is Missing
from Augusta, Ga, Where He Vac
Last Seen Some Weeks Ago, ana
Cannot Be Found. W5


Cannot Be Found.
The Augusta Herald says Edward
]. Boyd, of Brooklyn, N. Y; con-
nected with the advertising firm Of
Shearman & Ryan, of that city. has
mysteriously disappeared and all sf-
forts, so far, to locate him have
proven unavailing. MIR. Boyd arrived
in Augusta from Savannah on tho
26th of August, intending to do
quite a good deal of advertising In
that city, for certain brands Of teas.
On his arrival in Augr "a he went
direct to the Marks-Grocery company
and made arrangements with. that
firm for the placing of certain signs
and display cards. "A short. while
after his conversation with Mr..
Marks, two boxes Of advertising. mat
ter and a grip arrived at the store
and Mr.. Marks signed the express re-
ceipt for them.
1t is also stated that Mr.. Boyd
signed in person for another grip
which was forwarded to him from
Savannah. Mr.. Boyd later went to
the Marks store and talked with Mr-
Marks about some window signs anu
on leaving him stated that he WOULD
return on the following morning and
place them. This was the last seer
of him and the boxes and the grip are
still at the store, awaiting instr7ac-
tions as to their disposition.
Mr.. Marks stated "Wednesday
morning to a Herald reporter tftat
Mr.. Boyd seemed to be in happy
humor and that there was nothing
to indicate about him that he might
be i'll or respondent. He describes
him as young man about % years
of age Of medium height, with dark
hair and very interesting talker.
No trace OF him has been found az
any of the hotels of the city but
inquiry at several grocery stores de-
veloped the fact that a man an.
swering the description. Of Mr.. Boy5
called on a number of the merchants
of the city in regard to placing some
advertising matter.
The last letter which the young
man wrote to his employers was from
Augusta and was dated on Septenl-
Der 1st and on the same date he also
wrote to his mother, in Brooklyn.
He was on his way toward Columbia
S. c., to which point his firm had
sent him registered letter contain
ing sum of money.
The police department has receive
ed a letter asking information about
Mr.. Boyd but so far they have BEEN
unable to asce1t tain anything about
him. They state that. letters of thiG
description are received every day
and that they do not attract any
great attention at headquarters.
Mr. Marks, of the Marks Grocery
company, stated that Mr. Boyd, as the
letters received in Augusta state, diG
not appear to be drinking man.
His Features were clear cut and re-
fined and he did not seem dissipated.
Mr.. Marks fears that the young man
is the victim of foul play.

economies of various kinds doubtless

Much has been said this week con
corning the crops. The recently is
sued government report estimating
the yield as indicated by conditions on
July 1 was unfavorable so far as
spring wheat is concerned. The de-
terioration at the time was consider
able. Better conditions have prevailed
since July 1, and at present a much
more optimistic view of the situation
is entertained. The most important
report of the entire year is that which
will be issued showing conditions pre-
vailing on August l. Until then plans
for future operations will not be made
on an extensive scale There has
been further curtailment of produc-
ton in some lines of industry, but
the copper output continues to grow.
Prices of commodities show further
concessions, and while in many cases
quotations indicate little change, the
tendency continues downward, a con-
dition very much to be desired for
the benefit of general business. The
fundamental conditions of the country
are sound, and the outlook continues
bright.

GEORGE WILCOX
IN CALF ORN|A

The Grass Valley (Cal) Tidings, of

ings" of George N. Wilcox, sugar mag
nate Of Kauai:
G. N. Wilcox, one of the most promi-
nent residents and capitalists of Ho-
nolulu, is registered at the National
hotel. This is Mr.. WilcoX's second
visit to Nevada City in about year.
He liked the place so we'll the first
time he came that he determined to
return.
Mr.. Wilcox is one of the heavy
stockholders in the Central consolidat-
ed gold mining company, which Qperat-
es the Central consolidated mine on
Greenhorn a few miles from Nevada
City. He has been interested in the
property for some time and when he
comes to California he invariably Wis
it's the mine as the guest of Manager
Bailey, who was himself at one time
a prominent resident of the Hawaiian
islands. Nevada county has a parti.
cular fascination for him and he
thinks there is no mining district in
the world to compete with it in the
matter of rich mines, attractive seen

For many years Mr.. Wilcox has
been one of the conspicuous figures In

BUSINESS GAINS IN
THE PAST YEAR

BOSTON, Jilu, 19.-Annual reports
of many corporations whose fiscal year
has just ended are now beginning to
make their appearance. Some pecu-
lair contrasts and wide viriations are
presented in the matter of gross and
net earnings. 1t is the exception, how
ever, that large increase in gross
revenues in not shown for twelve
months. In many instances the total
earnings are the largest in the history
of the companies making the reports.
In a goodly number of cases the net
earnings likewise exceeded those of
any former period. On the other hand
there are many corporations whose
reports now show a phenomenal gain
in total revenues and either a very
small increase in net returns or a
slight loss. Not many railway com
panies have yet submitted their an
nual statements, but accurate esti-
mates are made of the years results
which show that in most cases there
has been a very large gain in gross
earnings but a falling off in net. Rail
way officials attribute this state of af-
fairs to higher wages paid employees
and higher prices for materials. They
use this as an argument in favor if In
creasing their freight and passenger
rates, subject now causing so much
controversy in commercial and finan-
cial circles. 1t is a question with
which the interstate commission has

TRYING TO AVOID
CASH STRINGENCY

CHICAGO, July 49, The demand
for commercial loans locally is not
pressing. There is some Apprehension
, concerning the situation in the
Northwest.
There are men here whose opinions
are regarded as conservative, and who
say that considerable money is now
due in various sections or the spring
wheat states, and that the crops we're
depended upon to help in the liquida-
ton of these outstanding obligations.
North Dakota Will receive the most
severe blow, followed by South Dako-
ia and Minnesota in the order named
The western money market is de-
cidedly firm, with rates maintained at
comparatively high Ieve1s. The de.
mand for commercial and industrial
loans is not pressing. Banks continue
to guard their funds with great care,
and are not seeking new loans, even
at the higher quotation of rates.
1t may be stated that as a general
characteristic of the attitude of the
greater national institutions that 80
per cent of loans are made at a 5 ~
per cent rate, with 10 per cent at a 4
| and 10 per cent at a per cent rate.
| This general condition of rates is pro-
badly representative OF the western
institutions at large. Every effort Is
Icing made by our larger institutions
to be in such shape by the fall that no
unusual tightness of money will occur.
A strict observance Of conservatism
/ is general in western banking centers,
and therein lies the probability that

BUSINESS STATUS
IN CALIFORNIA

Dun's commercial review gives the
following details of California bust
ness at the beginning of July, includ-
ing trade with Hawaii and the Philip
pines:
Shipments of deciduous fruit over
! land to date have been larger than
last year. With reference to cherries
and apricots, these have ceased.
Peaches, plums and pears are now
going forward freely to be followed
with apples, grapes and other lines.
Grain cutting is in progress through
out the State. June is frequently
light month in the export trade, but
the value of the deep water trade was
1854 500, nearly the average of the
previous five months. Total for the
six months in $24,63O 600, an increase
of about $1,5OOO00 over the same time
! last year. The Hawaiian Islands took
a value of $7,30S, 400, an Increase of
$256,OO0 Philippines Islands $2,326,O 900
gain of $4,000 domestic Atlantic
ports $4,052,OOO gain of $221,00.
Deliveries of Hawaiian sugar at this
port were 42,4OO,O0O pounds in June
and 305, 800 pounds for the six
months, an increase of 4S,171, 400
pounds over the total for the same
time last year, when 60 per cent. of
the total for the year arrived in the
first half. 1t is probable that the de-
liveries this year represent 70 per
cent of the total that will be received.

John l.. Fleming returned this morn

Bryde Sugar, Kealia, Maxwell and a
whole lot of other places. He found
next years cane to be in fine condi-
ton, although this year has been run
ming light all over, due to unfavorable
weather conditions.
"McBryde will fall considerably
short of the estimate for this year."
said Mr. Fleming this morning; "but
there will be a different story to tell
next campaign. The water now be-
ing developed will make all the differ
ence in the world.
The three units of the new water
system will be in full working order.
These pump water from an under
ground supply, going down to a depth
of 112 feet, and from each unit base
are laterals running out as much as
1000 feet each, taking in an immense
I area of moisture.
"The water is remarkably fresh
there being no perceptible amount OF
salt in it, and am sure it will work
perfectly on the plantation.

all the water required, and there will
