DEATH OF ALASKA LAUNCH
 OWNER SEEMS CERTAIN

A report comes from Kstchlkan that N, E. Lane of Myers Chuck who was in that town the latter part of last week states positively that the gasoline launch picked up by Stanley oaksmith between Had ley and Ship Island is one he sold to Jim" short, and that the prob abilities are that short is either drowned or has died of exposure When last heard of, short was on Onslow Island hunting, and there met Ben Hanson, who also was hunting. The men had poor sue cess on their hunt, and decided to so to Eagle island to see if there were more deer there, and Hanson as the grub was getting low went in his launch, which was larger than shorts, to Lanes saltery for food He returned to the old camp on Onslow island and found it deserted, 30 he went to Eagle island but found nobody there. and saw or heard no more Of Short or his launch, until he saw the boat after Oaksmirh had picked it up Oaksmith states that the switch was on when he picked the launch up, but that the needle valve on the engine was closed and the gaso. line tank was empty, while shortt rifle, oiled and covered as though he was moving camp, was in the boat besides other things belonging to the missing man. What can have happened to Short can only be guessed at, but 1t looks as though either he had fallen overheard while leaving camp, or that tho launch was blown away while he was making camp somewhere. In either event there seems to be nc. tle if any probability that the man Is still alive.

How Good Roads Pay
Told by Government
Price Of Farm Lands Increases Rap
idly In Ratio to Highway
Improvement

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-The di-
rect effect that changing bad roads
into good roads has upon land values
and marketing prices. as we'll as the
general economic welfare of the com
munity, is shown in several concrete
illustrations which were gathered by
tho United States Department of Ag-
riCulture. In Lee County, Virginia a
farmer owned 100 acres which he Of
fered to sell for $500. In 1908 his
road was improved, and although the
farmer fought the Improvement, he
has since refused $4,000 for his farm.
In johnson County. Alabama. the
people voted a bond issue for S25O.OO0
for road Improvement. The selling
value al that time was Sc to SIS per
acre. The selling price is now from
SIS 10 S25 per acre.
In another State two farmers liy-
ing at equal distance from a cotton
market learned by telephone that cot
ton had gone up in price 81 per bale.
The farmer on the bad road hauled
one bale Of cotton, which was all he
could get over that road The other
farmer on the good road was able to
haul four bales. The man on the good
road gained 81 by the rise in price.
while his neighbor on the bad road
gained only 81.

Advance in Steam

acknowledgements Prices Below
Other Markets on Such Grades.
Labor Troubles Disappear.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, Sept. H.
Business with the coal operators OF
the Kentucky-Te field is brisk
and prospects are good for the winter.
Considering that tariff legislation has
been pending, the fact that the de-
mand for coal has kept up is taken as
a strong indication that industrial
conditions in the South are on
sound basis
The demand for domestic coal is
strong, especially on the larger
grades Smaller grades are In de-
mAnd, but are not commanding the
same advance in prices. Retail deal
ers or consumers who can use the
small grades can buy to advantage.
Prices on all grades undoubtedly will
advance from 10 to 10 cents per ton
early in October.
steam grades undoubtedly will show
an advance. Steam Goals have been
selling lower in this market than In
any other markets in the country.
Threatened labor trouble caused
steam users to stock up about so
days ago. Buying has not been as
heavy during the past 30 days, but
conditions again are getting normal.

with little success and most OF the
operators now believe that there will
be no further trouble and no attempt
at a strike.
The car supply at present IS
satisfactory, but It is reported that
the Southern Railway is supplying
cars for commercial coal by diverting
cars from stocking the railway bins.
An acute car shortage developed some
six weeks ago, far earlier than usual
II the Southern delays stocking its
bins It is believed more trouble will
arise later when II is necessary.

MEMPHIS. Sept. flight frosts
in portions Of the central and eastern
belt have caused some concern, but
for the most part the weather
throughout the cotton belt has been

growth will have time to fruit de-

The light frosts do no harm, and
even are a beneft in the lowlands,
where they kill off part of the fruit

So. with clearing skies, the planters
who thought their crops were ruined

Picking has made excellent progress
during the past week. The movement
still reflects the interruption during

The spot situation has been full OF
strength, though much Of It has re-
suited from the firmness in the con-
tract market, the advancing tendency
there having afforded an excellent
hedging basis and encouraged buying
that otherwise might have been de-
ferred. The spinners have shown
more disposition to purchase some
needed supplies and much of the in
spiration for the bullish activity has
been due to this fact.
Liverpool Is Strong.
The Liverpool market, which is the
best reflection of the attitude of the
spinners in Great Britain and on the
continent, has been strong all the
week and q fairly large turnover of
the actual has taken place there.
Cable advices have been that much
concern was felt as to whether the
crop would be large enough to fill re-
quirements Of the consumers at cur
rent prices.
Prices in the big English market
have been at abnormal premiums
over those ruling in the domestic
speculative centers. This may have
been due in measure to concern
over the fate of future trading in this
country. Bulhsh activity has been
restricted here on that account
