THE PHILIPPINE COAST LINE

nEEP-SEA sailors used to laugh at their
- brother mariners of the coastwise trade
and refer to them as men who "like to 60
to sea when they could get home to dinner. >
This gibe would have little point in the Phil
ippines, the coast line of which has been
found to measure more than eleven thousand
miles; to be exact, 1 ,511 statute miles. In
the Philippines there is one mile of coast to
every ten miles of area, the total area of the
islands being l15,O26 square statute miles.
These figures are interesting when it is
considered that the ratio in the United
States is two hundred and thirty-two square
miles of area to one mile of coast line. The
figures for the United States have reference
to the coast line of the main part of the
country, including islands lying near the
coast, but not including non-contiguous ter
ritory such as Alaska and Porto Rico. The
coast line of the United States SO measured.
with what the experts call "three-mile
steps,, is 1926 statute miles. less than two
thousand miles in excess of the coast line of
our Eastern possessions.

DEMANDS TRIAL OF
 THE CASE BY JURY
Demurrers Also Filed in Matter of Petition for
 Southern Steel

A petition for a trial by jury and IS demurrors were filed yesterday in the United States court against the appli- cation for a receiver on behalf of the Southern Iron and Steel company.

 The case may be heard today by
 Judge Grubb, but the demand for a
 trial by jury will require some time.

He even received letters yesterday addressed to the receivers, from Cincinnati MT. Bowron indicated yesterday while dis oussing the case informally that he intended to fight every step of the way against the proposed receivership. He said that the company was proceed ing peacefully and conservatively in the mana cement of it's affairs and the pro- posed reecivership was decided sur prise to him. He added that one of the creditors invoiced Its account to the
 company late yesterday afternoon after
 the papers had been filed.

Montgomery, July 1-(Special. )-Early in the season B. Bryan of Peids, Blount county decided to delay the fruiting or the large Elberta peach orchard so that fruit could be gathered 10 or 15 days later than other crops, and thus bring better crop.
 All other orchards have been on the market four or five days Bryan Will begin to gather peaches from his 6bVo trees July 27 The delay was sought so that the crop could be placed on the mar ket at a time when 1t was not over loaded. MT. Bryan has a contract to de- liver 100 carloads of peaches to one firm and he will clear about slo0,0o0 on the crop.

WARM FIGHT OVER
 TAXES IN BALDWIN

Bay Minette, July 11.-tspecial)- )-The county commissioners are still tied up with Tax Commissioner Charles c. Hand and the residents of the county in the matter of tax equalization and each day are having gruelling outlay of work to pass over.
 Today the members of the Fairhope Sin gle Tax Colony of Fairhope brought up their case in regard to the raises in the valuation of their land and the fight was hot. The officers of the colony objected to the raises placed on their holdings by Commissioner Hand. and it was with much difficulty that the matter was final ly adjusted.
 The cases of several other large land owners in the county were also brought up for settlement and in almost every case it has been found that the owners have been under assessing the value of their land.
