Letters from Hon. Harvey
Helm, to various citizens of
Adair and Russell, concerning an
appropriation for lock and dam
No. 20, on Cumberland river,
indicate that Mr.. Helm is interes-
ted in the project and will work
for its consummation. IF the
lock should be put in it would be
of untold benefit to the people OF
Adair, Russell and Cumberland
counties, and every enterprising
man should give the matter due
consideration and give Mr.. Helm
all the information at their COM
mand. Since writing the above
Congressman Stanley has an
nounced that he is much inter-
ested for the people along the
upper Cumberland. and that as
soon as possible he will go to
BurkesviIle and from that place
he viii go horseback up and
down the river and will speak
whenever a crowd assemblies.

sincerely hope his illness will not
prove fatal, but he is a man that
when called to go, l think can
say I have fought a good fight,
and peace can look through the
tears and smile.
Well l haven't seen a letter in
the News from this part of the
world for a good while perhaps
some Of your readers would like
to know the condition of things
here. We had a good crop year
for most crops, wheat especially
and that is the principal crop,
but owing to the low prices that
prevail and the extremely bad
crop year just preceding it there
is not much money left among
the farmers. Wheat is now
selling at zoe the lowest in years.
Corn 80 to 35c, Oats SOC Kaffir
30c kafir corn did not make a
very good yield, about II bushels
per acre is about The average.
Rough feed is high, alfalfa SIS a
ton, Prairie Hay, $3.50. Cattle
are higher than ever known here
1 guess you can't buy a good
milk cow for much less than
$500 from that up to as high
as 5000, of course the top price
is for fancy registered Jerseys.
Common grade horses are not
very high but full blooded stock
is selling for a good price. I
have a neighbor that sold two
Weanling colts, Registered Per-
cherons for $3.50, another who
sold a yearling stallion for $500,
a yearling FLY for $500 and a
three year old stallion for $500.
So you see it pays to raise good
stuff, but the Republicans says
every thing will go to the dogs
now, maby it will. My hens
have quite laying since Wilson
was elected and | hear others
complaining about not getting
eggs, but / can't believe he has
had any thing to do with either
the hens laying or the present
low prices for farm products.
l have lived in three states, Hi
nois, Kentucky and Oklahoma,
and | have noticed every where
the men that raise plenty of live
stock are the farmers that han
le the money and | think people
will have to go to raising more
stock, and feeding more Of the
farm products on the farm be-
fore the present high cost of
living is diminished to a great
extent. Well | have written
much more than intended so il
you will please pardon this
lengthy epistle | will close by
wishing the News and its many

HONDURAS CITY
IS CAPTURED
REVOLUTIONARY GENERAL VAL.
LADARES STARTS TROUBLE
WITH A, FEW TROOPS.

Tegqcigalpa, Honduras, Mar. L.
Jose Maria Valladares, a Honduran
revolutionary belonging to Amapala
yesterday crossed the San Salvador
frontier into Honduras with sixty men
and captured the border town of Ara
mecina There were only five Hon
duran soldiers in Aramecina when the
revolutionaries appeared. The Hon
duran government is rushing troops
to the scene and expects to suppress
the outbreak in a few days.
It is probable that Valladares will
be captured as he has only a small
and is virtually a political
outlaw in both San Salvador and Hon
iuras. Several leading men here have
been arrested. They had in their pos
session what are alleged to be com
promising documents.
Reports had been received that Cen
eral Jose Maria Valladares. who tor-
merly was commandant of Amapala
and recently was imprisoned in Te-
gucigalpa in connection with revolu-
tionary plot, was preparing another
raid, but it was expected he would
cross the frontier at some other point.

San Francisco, March 1.-The long
est winter drought known in Califor,
mia in the last ten years was ended
today by a rainstorm which swung
into the southern end of the state
from the southwest shortly before day
break and worked steadily north. It
is due in the central portion of the
state late today, according to Profes-
sor Alexander G. McAdie, in charge
of the United States weather bureau
here, and will bring relief to the val
leys of northern California before to-
morrow night The storm crossed to
southern Nevada and slight fall of
snow is recorded in the mountains.
The weather bureau records show
that the total precipitation for the
first two months of the year was about
one-third the usual downfall. The

BUT One MINE IS ACTIVE
THAT is LOCATED IN NORTHERN
WALES AND WILL CLOSE
DOWN TOMORROW.
SOUTH WALES DANGER spot
MEN IN THAT LOCALITY ARE DE-
TERMINED AND HAVE ONLY
SMALL FUNDS.

London, Mar. with the excep-
ton of few small collieries situated
in isolated districts, all the coal mines
of the country are idle this morning.
In some of those places where work
is still going on, notably in Warwick
shire, where 10000 men are employed,
the miners will join the strikers to-
morrow.
The only mine in the country where
the men have decided to remain at
work is a little one in northern Wales
and here the mining is carried on
under police protection. An official
return issued this morning estimates
the number of strikers who already
have laid down their tools as 1,049, ,407-
In most of the districts the men
are taking advantage of the strike to
enjoy holiday and no trouble is an
ticipated. The greatest danger spot is
in South Wales, where the most de-
termined spirit prevaffs and where
the union funds are cnry sufficient to
provide strike pay to the men for a
short time. The railways throughout
Wales issued notices today that their
train service would be curtailed and
other railways in Great Britain will
follow this example tomorrow.
The miners federation resumed its
conference this morning and one Of
the members expressed the opinion
that the negotiations with the owners
would be successfully terminated in
the course of next week. Public opin-
ion generally endorses the govern
ment's decision to pass minimum
wage bill unless the remainder Of the
owners agree to that principle, which
has already been consented to by
sixty per cent of the employees.
Premier Asquith today invited the
miners executive committee to meet
the coal owners, but the men declin-
ed, saying they had nothing to dis
cuss. They had, they said, placed
their schedule of minimum rates on
the table and they would maintains
that position until otherwise instruct
ed by the miners.
