DURHAM TO ADVERTISE
WITH M OF WEST
Commercial Club Will Cooperate
With Railroads to Bring More
Farmers to This Section.

Durham. August 2.-The Com
mercial Club will issue an adNertiS-
ing booklet sometime during e com-
ing month which will tell in a com
posite n something about the
city. his booklet was ordered issued
sometime ago. but a great deal of the
matter haThad to be collected. and
this has taken time. There was also
a delay in getting the cuts which viii
be used in the Illustrations
1t is the intention Of the club %
use this booklet mainly for distribu-
ton at the county fairs and farmers
gatherings Of the West and Middle
West. A campaign will be made 10
get some Of those farmers into this
section Of the country, while it has
not yet been definitely decided upon IT
is probable that the distribution II
these pamphlets and other inforna-
Etion about this county will be turned
over to the railroads for distribution.
The secretary of the Commercial
Club has been assured by the Land
and Industrial department Of tho
Southern road hat they would ha
glad to do all that was possible to aid
IN a campaign to bring Western farm
erS to the more generous climate and
more fertile soil Of Piedmont North
Carolina.
These pamphlets were scheduled to
have been sent out last fall. but A
great deal OF delay in collecting the
data and also some other DELAY in
getting the cuts made, caused it to he
impossible to get them ready for dis
at the county fairs Of the
west. These booklets are being paid
for by the city aldermen and tho

market nearby, and unless he IS III a
position to guarantee delivery at
certain intervals, is working under a
very heavy handicap, and must be
satisfied with the market that Is Of
fered him or undertake to create a
market. Where shipments are IN
small quantities to commission mer-
chants, it is to be expected that the
commission and express will taxi the
greater portion of the profit.
The selection of foundation stock
will determine largely their ultimate

breeders advise beginners to purchase

term working mates" AS a rule.
such birds as -heSe cannot be pur-
chased for less than s2.00 a pair, and
it is often hard to get them at that
figure. Some strongly dvOcate pur-
chasing young birds from six to
eight weeks old and letting them fly
together until they begin to mate,
then selecting the mated pairs for
another loft. In this way working
| mates often can be secured much
more cheaply and the purchaser will
know the age of his stock.

Kindness In Little Things.

Senate Cummins was talking about
a notorious interIOcking director.
This i~nterlocking director" he
SAID. declares that if we curb his ac-
INVITES the poor will suffer terribly. I
ask myself, though, is he really speak
ing on behalf Of the poor or on his
own behalf.
He reminds me Of a man who
stopped in terrific at sight
OF a group of boys stoning d bird hat
was tied to a tree by the leg.
ana he took the bird up in his
hand and placed it in his bosom ten

Startling Electrical Effects.

When Baltimore opens its National
Star-Spangled Banner Centennial on Sep
TENDER 9th it will have the greatest dis
play Of electrical effects that ever has been
used in illumining a city for celebration
of any kind. For more than year the
best engineers and electricians ia consul
tation with. designers and artists have
been at work planning out various dis
plays to be used at this time. More than.
$50, 200 will be expended alone in lighting
in novel and brilliant way the principal
streets and broad boulevards Of the newer
and bigger Baltimore. The skyline Of
the city is to be outline with electric lights
while a big searchight win play from the
towers and tops of tall buildings on the
harbor and the river beyond there will be
anchored squadron of the American
feet With visiting men of war and the an.
Gent lighting frigatc Constellation" the
Oldest ship in the United States Navy.
The great dome of Baltimore's City Hall
which has always been admired for its
classic architecture will be outlined with
5000 pickering incandescent lamps while
the powerful projected light will food the
space between the columns. From the
windows will radiate the newly invented
nitrogen filed Tungsten lights, each Of
1867 candle power. One of the most
peculiar and interesting picturesque struc-
lures in Baltimore is the old Shot Tower
which lends itself especially to decoration.

greatly in the bombardment Of Fort SMc-

The day following the appoint ment of Harry A. Bishop, of Juneau, as t. s. Marshal for the First divi- sion, he assumed the duties of his office on the 18th, through an emerg- ency appointment from Judge R. w. Jennings of the United States Dis trict court. Judge Jennings, acting upon telegraphic instructions re- ceived from the attorney general, entered an order making the ap- pointment, and MT. Bishop will serve under that order, pending the action of the Senate upon the nomination for the office by the President. The former official, Mir Faulkner, states that he had not resigned. He was appointed by President Taft on April 30, 1910. His confirmation by the Senate came on May s, the follow ing year, after the bitter Alaskan political fight that waged in Wash ington. His term would have ex- pired next year.
 The United States marshal's office at Juneau is the distributor of con siderable patronage. There are ten deputies which the marshal names They are stationed as follows: Chief deputy, Juneau, salary s2,200; office deputy, Juneau, salary $1,S00; office deputy, Ketchikan, salary $1,600; deputy, Haines, salary $1,500; dep uty, Skagway, salary s1,6O0; deputy Petersburg, salary $1,600; deputy Craig, salary s1,60O; deputy, Doua las, s1.600; deputy, Wrangell, salar5 1,200; deputy, Sitka, salary $1.200, The marshal is paid an annual salary of $4,000, for a term of four years.
 In addition to the deputy mar shals, there are r guards appointed, in the Juneau jail, ? each at Sitka, Ketchikan and Wrangell, and 1 each at Petersburg, Skagway and Haines. The guards are paid at the rate of $100 month.

This morning he received a wire from the judge stating that his bond had been approved and re- questing that he proceed at once 70 Chitina and assume the duties of his office. MT.

ROME, May 19.-From the high

ROME, May 19.-From the high est Vatican sources it is learned that Pope Plus has postponed until the latter part of May the calling of a consistory in order to permit the attendance of the three American princes of the church. Cardinal Gibbons, Cardinal Farley and Cardi- nal O'Connel. The consistory was 10 have been held at Easter and it's postponement at that time caused no little comment as there are now six teen vacancies in the Sacred College and the immediate creation of new cardinals is deemed most urgent
 Pope Plus deference to the wishes, however, of the three Ameri- can cardinals was influenced, it is stated, also largely by his own de- sire to have them present at the consistory. The latter were obliged to come to Rome this year to make their lad limina" visi' s to the Pope and having arranged to do this in May, Pope Plus decided that a months postponement of the con- sistory should take place for their benefit. The presence of the three American princes together with the large number of cardinals to be created is expected to give the con- sistory almost the same importance and interest as attached to that of 1911 when Cardinals Farley, Fall conio and O'Connell were elevated to the purple.

Fred Brown, the veteran operator on Unga Island, recently came from Seattle with a crew of six experts who will install a 200-ton cyanide plant at the Appollo mines this summer. Equipment and supplies to the value of $30,00O are following them. Something like 100000 yards of tailings from the 60-stamp mill are to be handled by the new cyanide plant, some of it being taken from the sea dump by special permission of the government. Thirty stamps were operated last season and al- most as many more will be worked this year. Mr. Brown has the Appollo leased from the Alaska Commercial Company.

Juneau Gold Mining Company, is now on his way from San Francisco to Juneau and Treadwell to spend the summer looking after his large mining interests there.
 President Bradley was recently in New York, on a mission connected with the further construction work on the Alaska Juneau property. New York mining papers have re- ported that plan to consolidate the Alaska Juneau mine with the Alasha Gastineau property, while not yet consummated, may go through before this time next year.
 The first clean-up has been made at the Alaska Juneau mill, where ten stamps have been steadily drop ping. According to Supt. Robert A. Kinzie, the returns were very satis- factory.
