 else, there are indications that pub i lie interest hereabouts is turning
 back to it's own affairs. For the past
 few days local news has been break ing into the war columns all along | the line New York grows more 1 interested in it's state elections. Can
 didates begin to look real. Their
 records and platforms are discussed
 as if they mean something. Various
 local matters find increasing space
 and better position in the public

 listen. There's change. People in
 this city begin to turn from war ! abroad to ask what is doing at home- i By the time cold weather comes it
 will be poor policy in these parts not to be busy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-com-

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Com- menting on the recent passage of the Alaska coal leasing bill, Secretary Lane has said: This is the end of an eight-year struggle. Eight years ago the coal lands in Alaska were locked up. During that time Alaska has been declining. Now her coal is to be opened to the world under con- ditions that will prevent monopoly, and, hope, insure development. The enactment of the bill is an achievement of which Congess may be proud, for it was brought about without bitterness and without par tisanship. It is real victory for sensible anti-monopoly policy.
 "Three-ffths of true conserva- tion program-a railroad for Alaska, a new reclamation law and the Alaska coal leasing bill-have been crystallized into law. The other two measures, which have already passed the House and will come before the Senate in December, are the water power bill and measure under which our oil. phosphate and potash lands may be opened and put 10 i use"
 1 The bill that finally passed Con- gress is designed to throw open the immense coal resources of Alaska under a system of leases, with com- petitive bidding. It also provides that pending claims shall be adjudi- cated within a year. An appropria- tion of s100,000 is made for the purpose of making surveys of the coal lands of Alaska. The Boring River, Matanuska and Nenana coal fields will be the first surveyed, the government retaining 5,120 acres in the Boring and 1880 acres in the Matanuska fields and one-half of all other coal areas. To prevent mon- opoly or in any emergencies, the government reserves the right to mine coal for the benefit of the army and navy or for the operation of the governments railroads in Alaska, or to relieve oppressive. conditions.
 Leases will be. made in blocks of forty acres or multiple of that amount, not exceeding 2,500 acres altogether in any one lease, and to run not more than 50 years. Pres ent coal claimants may relinquish their rights to patent under the old i law, payments being refunded.
 l Royalties paid by lessees must be at least cents ton, with maxi mum unrestricted. Proceeds from leases will be usable to reimburse the government for building the Alaskan railway.

PEACH CROP IN
GEORGIA CLOSES

Atlanta, Ca, August 1.-(SpeciaD -
"The present week will see the end of
the peach crop in Georgia" said Gen
eral Manager B. J. Christman of the
Georgia Fruit Exchange today while
the number of cars has not reached
that of 1912 the efficiency in handling
those marketed through the EXCHANGE
has been greatly increased, and it can
be truly stated that the 1914 season is
the best in the history of this organi-
cation"
'The last car load of peaches out of
the Fort Valley district went forward
Friday. 1t was made up of a combina-
ton of shipments from half dozen or
more orchards in order to fill the car.
Practically all of the shipments to
be made during the present week will
be from North Georgia That section
suffered a severe hail storm during the
past week and it is estimated that one
hundred car olads were ruined as a
result.
"The prices secured for the fruit
marketed by the Exchange has been
unusually high and it is most crafty
ing that this season has been unusually
free from complaint by any of the
growers.
1T is safe to say that the Exchange
marketed over ninety percent of the
fruit grown in Georgia and has the
largest and most enthusiastic member

SIGHTSEERS IN EUROPE
IN DANCER FROM WAR

Atlanta, Ca, August MANY At
lantans and other Southerners are il
Europe and are likely to have great
delay, if not actual danger, in coming
home. Cablegrams from one party
announce that their vessel on which
they were to sail today has cancelled
all its schedules and there is no posi-
bility of obtaining passage on another
ship.
Several of the great liners will re-
main in port until the war is averted
or over, fearing to venture forth lest
they be seized by an enemies flee5.
For this reason the thousands of AM
orleans will be forced to stay in En-
rope. To make it harder, the countries
involved are fOrbidding tourists to en-
ter and ordering those already there
to leave at once. 1t is quandry with
out a solution.

NEGRO STEAL BOOZE
FROM COURTHOUSE

Atlanta, Ga, August When Will
Albright, a negro, got a whisky thirst
and sought to satisfy it. he chose
rather bad club for victim. He picked
the Owls Club for his raid and 8
o'clock in the morning as the hour.
Now the Owls have the top floor of
the Throver building, which is also the
temporary courthouse, and contains
the sheriff and his deputies and
score of county policemen. So, when
Albright was discovered coming down
stairs with his liquor, some in bottles
and some inside, he found himself sur
rounded.
A queer detail is that Albright said
afterwards that eleven quarts had been
taken off his person by his captors,
yet only one pint was produced as
evidence afterward.

partment. Secretary Bryan and all
Washington have learned that Minis
ter Stovall recently presented to the
foreign office of the Swiss government
a courteous invitation for its navy"
TO take part in the Panama-Pacific
Exposition at San Francisco.
The foreign office of the mountain
republic was amazed at the invita-
ton to the naval display, but assum-
ing that the American minister knew
there was no such thing as a Swiss
navy prepared to name a special en-
voy to represent Switzerland, simply
in his own personality 1t would
have forgotten the incident, but the
State Department having learned OF
Mr. Stoyall's invitation, directed him
to withdraw it on the ground that it
was intended only for maritime
powers. Mr.. Stovall did this in a for
NAL letter
Minister Stovall is a Georgian and
prior to his appointment to the diplO-
matte post, was editor of the Savannah

WHEAT RALLIES
 AFTER PRICES DROP
Uneasiness Over Too Much Moisture in Spring Crop
 Belt Responsible

Chicago. June 3o.-Uneasiness over con- tinued complaints off too much moisture in the spring crop belt rallied the wheat market today after prices had fallen to the lowest level this season. The close was steady at the same as last night to a shade advance. Corn finished 7s@s cent off to a sixteenth up. oats down 1sdA@s. cent. and provisions varying arom 10 cents decline to rise of 7ia cents.
 It was said that if hot weather came bSfore the surplus water in the spring wheat fields ran off that the consequences would be alarming. There were reports that great stretches of the country were semi-submerged. A specific instance named was the district from Fergus Falls, Minn., to Argusville. distance of 100 miles.
 Rain southwest had depressing influ- ence on corn values. Oats sagged on &C., count of liberal offerings from first hands. Buying on the part of investors and packers gave the provision market net advance for most deliveries.
