SIX MILLION BUSHELS
OF COAL IN Pl1TsBURG HARBORS
AWAITING RISE in RIVER.

With six million bushels ofcoal ly-
ing in barges and ready to push out
southwark, the lack of a mere ten
foot stage in the Ohio river main
tains to what is amounting to almost
an industrial prostration throughout
the south. Every manufacturing
city along the lower Ohio and on
the Mississippi river is feeling the
lack of coal and the necessity of
shipping their entire supply for the
past many months by rail has result
ed in greatly inflated prices for fuel,
with the consequent depression to
the manufacturing business.
Since the early spring there has
not been a coal boat stage for
period long enough to allow more
than an infnitesimal portion of the
coal lying in the first thirty miles of
the Ohio river to get SOUTH Every
harbor in the upper river which will
hold coal during the present low
stage of the river is filed with barges
loaded with the black diamonds, and
with the tow boats with banked fires
all waiting rise in the river to
scurry out on their trip to the south.
The most of the coal will 90 to Gin
cinnati and supply the middle wes-
tern markets from that point by rail,
but much of it will go on down to
Louisville and from there be dis
tributed back into Kentucky, while
much more of it will be taken on
down the broad bosom of the Ohio
and into the Mississippi and scatter
ed out at the various cities along
that river, where it is SO sorely
needed at present.
For the most part the only river
coal which can now be found in the
southern market is the Kanawha riv-
er coal which can get out nearly
every month of the year, naviga-
BILE stage for light barges being main
tained in that river during nearly
every month of the year by the series
of dams which the government main
tains in the stream. However, for
some time the Ohio river below
here has been low for coal boats and
the shipments by water out of this
river have completely ceased, though
they will likely be resumed this
week on account of the rise which is
moving down the river, while being
too little to make a coal stage will
bring one at the lower points on the
Ohio.
Local rivermen state that there is
little hope for water which will float
a coal boat or even be sufficient for
other than little local packets until
after Thanksgiving when about the
first of December the Thanksgiving
freshet is expected. 1t is pretty
good rule, old pilots say that if there
has not been coal boat stage dur
ing the month of October one will
not come until the first of December
when it will surely materialize.
This is a good rule and one which
they say works out most every year,
though for the past two seasons it
has failed. Thanksgiving passing
and no water coming until after the
middle of December.

 Hardly were the young men once more restored to a pleasant frame of mind when another COW appeared. This COW was live one and she had a calf at her side The auto was stopped three quarters of an inch from her neither end. De GeX got out prepared to argue the matter with the COW, but the bovine seemed to think the man had designs on her in- fant child. So it was that De Gex again made a very undignified as cent into the machine which prompt ly started with the COW in pursuit

Two meetings of the directors of the board of trade were held yes terday The first was called for S:30 early for most of the directors who starting the days work By ten o'clock. however, they got together and started in.
 It was decided to open a branch office of the board in the chamber of commerce in Los Angeles. That much of it is settled but there is a corollary to it, and that is that the expenses shall be kept down-way down. The directors believe in ad- vertising the valley in this manner but they don't believe in increasing their expenses above the visible source of income. Secretary Welch was asked for figures representing the present resources of the board Of trade
 MT Welch said he would prepare such a statement ana so the directors adjourned till late in the afternoon when they met again and discussed finance
 A lecturer and a secretary will be required for the Los Angeles branch and while the board has several peo- pie in mind no one has yet been se lected There will be moving pie lures of the valley supplemented with an explanatory talk by the lecturer and also two half-hour lectures in the mornings and afternoons.

 MT. Levy was appointed to the Phoenix consulate in 1909, coming here from Tucson on September 4. He has proven himself an able and efficient official His health was such, however, that it was deemed advisable to make a change and so he sought and received the appoint ment to the San Francisco consulate. He is simply taking the place of MT. Bravo who will arrive here shortly.
 Until the arrival of Consul Bravo the local consulate will be in charge of Martin L. Guzman, the consulate secretary.

It was expected that the real George B. Ryan would be in Phoenix yesterday. as he had sent a number of postal cards announcing that he would call upon his customers on August 24.
 It is saiu that Ryan, the prisoner, yesterday admitted that he was not George B Ryan, but that while drunl: he had conceived the idea of confis- eating George Ryan's mail and realiz7 ing cash upon his papers before the rightful owner appeared. He has been kept in the wOman's cell since the hour of his incarceration andhas been al lowed to see nobody.
 Yesterday two men communicated with Marshal Moore. telling him of Ryan having passed a check on which he realized a small sum of money. They said they would not now place a charge against the prisoner. but would do so in the event that the marshal was not able to clinch the other charge upon which Ryan is now held.

MAKE RECORD AUTO RUN
 10 THE RED ROVER MINE
Phoenix Men Take Machine Into Country Never Before At
 tempted

F. A Hilderbran and Fritz DeGex, in Mir Hilderbrans Model Is, 4O- horse power Buick, have established a record in a run from Phoenix to the Red Rover mine, about 50 miles northeast of Phoenix, that seems likely to stand for some time. Leav- ing this cityNon Sunday morning they arrived at the mining camp four hours later, after having encoun tered difficulties which would have made the ordinary automobolists turn back The return was made yester- day in even faster time, approximate ly three hours.
 Tn the entire fifty miles an eleva ton of about 4,5O0 feet is encoun- tered. The first half of the trip is over excellent roads, but when the thirty miles stretch is taken, comes first drive through canyons and passes that at times threaten to over turn 1.-the most stable machine. And then the trail practically disap- pears entirely.
 Returning, the automobolists, being in measure more familiar with the road. put on a few extra notches. And then there loomed up in the road huge form. Investigation proved it to be the body of a deceased COW which seemingly effectually blocked the way. De Gex volunteered to clear the obstruction and managed to secure a firm hold upon the obstruc- tions tail. His hold was good, but the hold of the tail upon the greater body was rather insecure and there came parting. Nearly overcome with the odor which assailed his nos triIs. De Gez abandoned his self-im- posed task With a snort, the ma chine took the obstruction as the

 MT. Hilderbran says he saw. some of the ore taken down to the black smith shop and melted and showed a very, fine run of copper and silver. He brought with him some very fine specimens of ore. He says that at present large quantities of the ore are being freighted down to Phoenix and shipped to the shelter and that this ore is more than paying for the work now going on, which is really more in the nature of development that actual working of the mine

 were not sympathetic, and one of them caused the arrest of the parents
 of the infant on the ground that the
 youngster disturbed the peace Great
 interest was shown throughout the
 FIatbush district Mothers of teeth

BARGAINS IN CHEAP STUFF
Few Deft Touches VIII Frequently
Give Garment an Entirely Differ
ent Appearance.

Often you will see real bargains
in frocks and blouses on the ready
made counter. Do not give one look
at the cheap lace or trimming. or at
the way the seams are finished. and
throw 1t back. Buy your bargain, take
1t home and redeem and regenerate
It.
Cheap lace can be replaced by
good; dainty tulle or net frills can
take the place of cheap rrfnes; seams
can be resutched and coarse en-
broidery worked over by hand. If the
material and the cut justify your buy
ing the garment at all. you can give 1t
an individual touch that will raise the
value of your bargain 75 per cent
And even where there is nothing
noticeably cheap or common about
the garment, try to give those little
extra touches; then you will be in no
danger of meeting your new gown
on another woman at the next street
corner.
