The local stock market yesterday was

Gould Probably Not the Man.
It is common talk in Baltimore That
Frank ]. Gould is large stockholder
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. and that his is the chief finan-
cial power behind the Maryland Virginia
Railway Company. said to have been
formed to hold control of the Washington
system and other public utilities in the
Capital. Financers in a position to know
the facts here deny that this talk has
any foundation in fact. At all events
Mr.. Gould himself is not taking an ac-
tive part in the proposed company's af-
fairs, and so far as Is known In Wash
ington, no representative of his is con-
nected with the enterprise. The rumor.
like many others circulated within the
past three years, is probably inspired
by the Gould activities in the electrical
power plant near Petersburg. Va. which
was supposed to have been built for
the development Of street railways in un-
occupied parts of Virginia, between
Richmond, Washington, and Norfolk.

L. R. & N. May Use Oil for Fuel.

The Shreveport Times of July
III says: President William
Edenborn, of the Louisiana Ry.
& Navigation Company, spent
yesterday in Shreveport, and
while here spoke of the improve
ments made and contemplated
by the railroad.
'The oil-burning facilities re-
Gently installed as an experiment
on our transfer boats have proven
eminently satisfactory, and will
remain permanent fixtures OF
that part of our service, which
has been improving steadily
since the road was opened, after
the damage done by the recent
floods were completed" he said.
Asked as to whether the in
stallation of oil-burning boilers
on the transfer boats was an ex-
pertinent, leading ultimately to
adopting crude oil as fuel fol-
passenger engines, Mr.. Eden
born continued.
THAT | can not say; we may
experiment along that line in the
future, and if the experiment is
successful, the road will prob
ably change from coal to oil as
fuel for engines in the passenger
service; but when that change
will be made l am not in position
to say at this time.
"All along the line crops are
looking fine, and a big yield is
expected this year. Of course,
all crops are a little late on ac-
count of the late and cold and
rainy spring, and especially SO
where the floods further delayed
planting or washed out and
drowned the crops already plant
ed; but they will be bountiful,
am sure. The corn is looking es-
pecially fine.'

Lake Charles, July 16. -Senti-
ment has developed among a
number of the leading citizens of
Southwestern Louisiana in favor
of asking Gov. Hall to include in
his call for the extra session of
the Legislature, which will be
held the latter part of August,
authority to appoint a legislative
commission to investigate the la
Dor situation in the lumber mills,
with the view of enacting laws
that will end the conflict that is
disturbing business conditions.
Advocates of a legislative COM
mission claim that it is the best
solution of the difficulty. If a
commission is appointed, with
authority to make a sweeping in
vestigation, the supporters of the
plan claim the Legislature will in
that way secure facts on which
to base remedial laws.
A commission will also bring
out evidence from both sides and
acquaint the public with the true
situation. The proposition has
the Endorsement of some of the
members of the Legislature.
The labor agitation in the lum-
Der district north of Lake Charles
has brought about a critical con-
dition of affairs. Feeling is run
ming high on both sides, and
many citizens who occupy a neu-
trail position are of the opinion
that the situation is one that re-
quires the attention of the Gov
ernor and the Legislature.

While Greenlee county, Arizona,

having been elected into a county
but two years ago, it does not
mean by any means that it is
less progressive. less prosperous,
or has any less bright future
than any other portion of the
state, In fact, the residents of
that county think they live in the
best portion of the entire state.
They point to the mountains, rich
with ore beyond the dreams of
avarice; they point to the smiling
valleys, as fertile as any in the
world, and with these as a basis
they show you prosperous towns,
growing communities, with an
excellent school system, towns
lighted with electricity, with
water systems, and beyond all
this a steady ingress of new re-
sidents to increase the already
aggressive population.
The chief towns in Greenlee
are Clifton, the county seat and

up in the oldest mining camps in
the state and here the cooper OUT
