Eight Million Pounds, Accord
ing to Official Figures,

WASHINGTON. Sept I7.-Fresh
beef from the South Temperate Zone
is now an established factor in the
import trade Of the United States.
Between 100000 and 100000 pounds
Of fresh beef, practically all Of fl from
Australia and Argentina. mas entered
the ports Of the United States in the
past three months, indicating thar
the imports OF The current fiscal year
viii amount to more rhan 100000
pounds, according to the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Prior TO 1872, the importations Of
fresh beef averaged about 333,333
pounds per annum. In 1912, however,
there was a sharp increase, the total
for that year being a little over 900, p
600 pounds. while in 1913 the total
was over 100000 pounds
Census Bureau Gets Data.
This increase, coupled with the an
nounccment that refrigerator ships
had been put on to bring Australian
and Argentine meats to the United
States has led the Bureau to instruct
the collectors Of customs at the va
rious ports TO report from month to
month the quantity Of fresh beef re-
ceived and the countries from which
it was brought
These detailed figures are now in
hand for the months Of June, July and
August. They show that the imports
Of fresh beef in June amounted to
5GG2O5 pounds Of which 396.9l3
pounds entered at the port of San
Francisco 26.9i7 pounds at Seattle
and 1903 pounds at New York
Argentine Beef for Gotham.
The entrances at San Francisco
were from Australia, those at Seattle
from Canada and those at New York
from England, but understood to be
Argentine beef, which had been sent
from Argentina to England and
thence TO the United States.

Unless the people Of Atlanta re-
spond and shortly, to tho appeals of
the Associated Charities. that organ
ization. which has saved hundreds OF
poor girls from ruin and brought good
cheer and happiness into hundreds Of
Atlanta homes. must abandon its
work: its offices must bc closcd-and
Atlanta viii enjoy the distinction Of
being the only large city in the
United States that can not support a
charitable organization, the value of
which can hardly be estimated in dol
lars and cents.
Rotary Club Pledges $1,000.
The Atlanta Rotary Club has pledg-
ed the Associated Charities $4,000,
which is now being raised by sub
scription among the classes Of bust

The Associated Charities needs
$4,000 to carry on the work until Jan

ing. "Of that amount we have about
$1,000 in outstanding dues which we
hope to collect and the Rotary club
has promised us $4,000. a total Of
$4,000. all the money that is in sight.
That leaves deficit Of $500 we must
face on January !, and It means that
we must abandon the work unless We
receive aid at once
The campaign for members hip
probably VIII begin within week or
two. The organization now has POO
members. and the Charities needs
S21 900 a year TO maintain the work

APPROACHING BADNESS MAY Be

We frequently hear a hair pr

FORMER RESIDENT DIES.
Zerah Smith. Old Smith Valley Resi-
dent, Passes Away.

The Berkeley Independent OF Feb
ruary p contains the following re
garding the death at that place OF
Lerah Smith, formerly an old and re
spected resident of Smith Valley:
'Zerah Smith died at 7:30 last even
ing al the Smith residence on Virginia
street He was born in the Berkshire
Hills Massachusetts, on May II, l840.
and came to Nevada with his older
brother. r. B. Smith, in the early six
ties and engaged i'll the stock business
for many years in Smith Valley, Lyon
county. Nevada. In 1893 he came to
Berkeley to spend the remainder OF his
life in comfort, having accumulated a
modest fortune"
By the death of Zerah Smith on
Thursday evening of last week there
passed away another of the pioneers
OF the Walker River country. He came
to Smith Valley in 1904. and began
farming by planting grain below the
Walker River ditch in the eastern part
of that valley He helped construct
this ditch. and with Mann, Rice and
Clark. used the first water turned into
the ditch from the river The next
year he joined with James Nichol and
Robert Mccall in buying the present
Schooley and McVicar farms in Smith
Valley. After a year or two he sold
out to his partners and went to Pine
Grove. which was then in its palmy
days. and there opened a butcher shop.
In the seventies Mr. Smith went into
the horse and mule business, purchas-
ing some of his stock in Canada and
some in Kentucky. The mining and
teaming men up and down the eastern
side of the Sierras all remember the
fine quality OF the Zerah Smith mules.
Before coming Nevada Mr. Smith
was a school teacher in Baltimore, to
which place he came from his home
in the beautiful Berkshire country i'll
Massachusetts
Zerah Smith is survived by his
brother. T B. Smith, and several
nephews. one of whom is Dwight
Smith, of Virginia CITY.
Although so many of his years were
spent in the frontier during the wild
and reckless days he was a man OF
fine character and unblemished integ-
ritv. He had many warm friends in
this section of Nevada who will great
" regret to hear OF his demise. al
though he had lived over the three
