Philadelphia Bank Failure Affects
Extensive Operations Proposed in
Sapphire Country.


Asheville. July S.-The closing yes
terday Of the doors Of the First
kSccond National bank of Pittsburgh
and the First National bank OF Nc.
Keesport, Pa, and the naming Of a re-
ceiyer for the American Water Works
and Guarantee company, controlling
over 40 water works plants In the
United States, will doubtless o
of more than passing interest to the
people of AsheFille and all Of western
North Carolina. The point Of inter-.
est ID that all three or these concerns
were controlled directly by w. s. and
J S. Kuhn of Pittsburgh, and these
men have been interested in water
powers Of this section.
The Kuhns began negotiations in
ITansylvania county over q year e
for water power sites and thousands
of acres of virgin timber lands. and
within a period OF six months it is
said that their purchases around
Lake Toxaway aggregated over half a
million dollars. Besides these direct
purchases they also held, and posi-
bly, hold yet, options on large tracts
of other valuable timber lands and
lands necessary for the development
of electrical power along the streams
included in their purchases.
The announced plans Of these peo-
PIE were that the biggest power plant
Of the entire section was to be devel-
oped in Tr~ansylvania county. 1t is
possible to develop thousands upon
thousands of horsepower there and
the purchasers did not propose to al
| low n of the opportunities to be
wasted.
The power was to be devoted to
different purposes and it was planned
to have big Woodworking plants es-
tablished, besides mills for the con-
version of the timber into marketable
products. Cheap electrical power
could also be furnished for manufac-
turers all over the section, and there
were visions of electrical suburban
lines that would further develop this
section very rapidly. The promoters
proposed to spend millions in the de-
velopment, SO It was announced.
All these prospects may now fade
into pipe dreams, as the closing of the
big institutions controlled by the
Kuhns doubtless foreshadows a gem
eral suspension of development pro-
jects by these people. It was gener-
ally thought that the development
proposed by them in Pennsylvania
we're bona 1de. and the fact that there
is a strong likelihood Of the whole
project falling through will be a blow
to the immediate prospects for *
tensive water power development in
western North Carolina.

THE SHIPPING OF APPLES.
National Law Relative to Packing for
Shipment Now I'm Eject.

Asheville, (Special.)-Col. T. Gil
bert Wood, the local agent of the
land and industrial department of the
Southern railway, is now calling the
attention o fthe apple growers of wes-
tern North Carolina, one of the Lead
ing apple sections of the entire coun-
try, to the fact that on July 1 the
Sulzer apple packing and grade law,
which was passed by the Congress
last August, went into effect. and that
the provisions of this law must be
complied with by those who ship their
apples out of the state. This law is
for a better standardization of the
apple industry and is considered Il
great forward step.
A standard barrel is provided for in
this law, the dimensions of which r
as follows: Length of staye, &c liz
inches; diameter of head, II 1-8
inches; distance between heads, 26
inches; circumference of bulge, out
side measure, "a. inches. This barrel
should contain as nearly as possible
1856 cubic inches.
Only one grade is established for
apples. This is that the apples con-
tanned in a barrel shall be of one va
riety; of good color for that variety;
normal shape and practically free
from insect and fungas injury, bruises
and other defects. A barrel of ap-
pies, under this law, may be 10 per
cent below this grade before it will
be considered m~isbranded. The min
imum size for the fruit contained are
set in three standards 1-2, 2 Ia
and 2 inches, traverse diameter. The.
apples in any barrel may be larger
than is specified but not smaller than
the minimum diameter allowed for
that standard. /.
Colonel Wood believes that the
strict observance of this law viii
mean a great deal for the growers OF
western North Carolina as it is be-.
Iieved that within a very few years
the stamp, "U. s. Standard" on a bar
rel of apples vii lhave. a meaning on
the market, and the sooner the grow
ers of this section accept the provi-
sions of the law the sooner will the
apples of the section become known
as standards of quality o nthe market
CT the country. They will be placed
then on an equal footing, although
they are at present on, a much higher
Ilane of quality, with the apples of
the west. The law will also call more
attention to the grading and packing
of apples, the very thing that is most
necessary for the growers of this
section to adopt, and will add a great
deal to the market value.

OcaIa theatergoers, or those few

of the attraction.
There is not much of a plot TO the

replete with amusing situations and
bright and catchy lines. The characters
of Charlie Porter, Dorothy Merry

There were some fifteen popular
song hits interspersed in the piece and
the singing of Home Run Bill by
Miss Mae Collins and the chorus OF
BASEBALL girls was especially good. An
other very attractive number was "Bs

All in all, the attraction is a mos
creditable one. and it was regretted
that it received such poor support il
