know about the country. In the first
place, Michigan seems to be very lit
tie understood BY the people LIVING
west Of the Mississippi, and will
confess that had bllt little knowl-
edge of it myself until | had visited
it two or three times. A few general
facts in regard to the state will
form basis for what may have to
say, and will convey better under
standing of it's resources. Of the
22S principal trading centers of the
United States, with populations OF
$4,000 and over, Michigan has 8,
Illinois u, Indiana 5, Wisconsin s,
Missouri 5, Nebraska 8, Minnesota
3, Kansas 3, Iowa s, and several
states that do not have any at all.
I take only few of the nearby
states by way of comparison, but it
is enough to give general idea in
the way of business. believe Mich
igan contains greater number OF
large citiess and a much greater
number OF large towns of say 5000
and over, than any other state in
the middle west. Besides this, there
isn't city or town in the whole
state that know of which does not
manufacture something. 1t is with
out doubt one of the greatest, if not
the greatest manufacturing state in
the United States Three-fourths of
all the automobiles are made there
One plant alone occupies $50 acres
of ground, and has SO acres Of floor
space, and employs 5000 people.
There is scarcely an article that one
can mention but what is made in
Michigan All this manufacturing
is not confined to a few cities, but
it covers largely the whole state.
The Eastern Michigan Power Co. al
ready has its steel towers erected to
convey power to Bay City, Lansing,
Grand Rapids and Muskegon, and
is just finishing dam on the Mus
kegon river that costs s1,500,000. It
is the intention to cover almost the
entire state with this electric power
plant. and it will cost over $780,
100000. 1t is being built by a
Wall Street syndicate, and is GER
tainly great undertaking. I saw
many Of the steel towers they have
already put up, and they look as If
put there to stay. The lumber BUSH
ness in Michigan is still immense,
and in connection with the great
salt mines at Saginaw, and the coal
mines, the iron mines and the cop
per mines, many thousands of men
are employed. But it is impossible
for me to go into details in so short
a letter, and this will only do as an
introduction for more to follow.

Roanoke, Va, Sept 16.-Announce-
ment that the Aliens are coming today
sent a different sort Of thrill through
Virginia residents than which former
ly accompanied such notification. In
stead Of barrlcading themselves in
doors, Roanoke people flocked to the
depot here to see Sidna Allen, leader
Of the notorious Allen clan of bandits
and his nephew, Wesley Edwards, ar
rive in chains this afternoon from Des
Moines, where they were captured
Saturday.
Until they were betrayed by Young
Edwards sweetheart the two mer
were the only remaining free members
CT the Allen gang which "shot up" the
Hillsville court house, killing the
Judge, sheriff and several other per
sons.
Excitement in Roanoke is intense
but 1t is not from fear. With the 9th
er members of the gang arrested, 1t is
not believed that any attempt will be
made to rescue the prisoners. 1t is
probable that the two men will be held
here, the mountain roads to HillvillC
being impossible because of the heavy
rains.

FLEET WILL NOT
ASSEMBLE AT
SAN FRANCISCO
UNITED PRESS LEASED wRn.l

Seattle, Wash, Sept 16,-The pro-
posed mobilization Of Uncle Sans
fighting vessels in the Pacific fleet at
San Francisco next month has been
called off, according to orders receiv-
ed Sunday afternoon from the navy
department by Admiral Cottman, COM
mander Of the fleet at Bremerton navy
yard
Admiral Cottman stated this morn
ing that he has no idea why the mo-
bilization Of the fleet was called off
and that the order was surprise to
him as the vessels under his command
were fully manned and ready to sail
for the meeting point
When asked If in his opinion the
order was made for the reason that
the vessels are all short-handed, Ad-
miral Cottman said
81 do not think that is the reason.
All of our vessels have the usual num-
Der of men on them at this moment
they have in time of peace There is
not a fighting ship in the navy that
has its full quota of men, but they
have as many as usual. The story
printed several days ago to the effect
that the vessels on the fleet at Brem-
erton are shorthanded by 1000 men, is
entirely erroneous. We have plenty
of men and were prepared to go when
the order was received. Some other
cause, of which know nothing, was
responsible for the order"

CABBAGE SHIPPERS RELIEVED
BY ARRIVAL OF CARS
Fifty Wagon Loads of Cabbage
Stood in the Sun for Two Days
Awaiting Refrigerator Cars.

Until four o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon, it seemed that the fifty
wagon loads of cabbage which have
been waiting at The freight depot
to be loaded for shipment would have
to spend. another day in the sun.
shortly after four, however, the
hearts Of the shippers were made
glad by the arrival of sever refriger-
ator cars. The farmers were not
discouraged by the ~lateness of the
arrival of the train, and with the
intention of loading the cars if il
took all night, Immediately COM
menced work.
Mr.. Duncan of the Growers As
ISOLATION said khat the seven cars
would accommodate the cabbage on
hand. He said, however, that all
cutting had been ordered stopped
until the railroad is able TO provide
transportation.
