GRAIN Of SIBElIA FLOODS
MARKETS BUT LACKS
CHANCE EXPORT
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20,
An interesting report upon the condi-
ton of the European grain market has
Just reached the state department
from United States Consul-Generai
John H. Snodgrass, stationed at Mos
COW, and tells of conditions prevail
ing at Irkutsk, one of Russia's great
est Siberian grain centers. The re-
port asserts Siberia is choking under
the abundance of grain and is suffer
ing from the absence of foreign mar
kets; insufficient connection with for
eign markets binders the economic de-
velopment of the country and its popu-
lation. At the same time there are
markets where Siberian grain would
be welcome and where there exists Il
considerable demand for the same. In
case the northern route from Siberia
is established, enormous quantities Of
Siberian grain will be shipped to
London and the question of the realiza-
ton of the Siberian crop will be
solved.
The opening of navigation on the
northern route will also facilitate the
direct importation of European goods
into Russia, as the Trans-Siberiau
railroad is alone unable to distribute
foreign-made goods throughout the
vast expanses of the Siberian coun-
try.

TREES LOADED
WITH PEACHES;
CROP ASSURED
IN OPINION OF AN EXPERT AFTER
SEEING ORCHARDS.

Mr.. J. F. Langrell of Baltimore, is
in Americas, where he has come to
take a look at the peach crop pros
pect, in which he is greatly interested.
Langrell Brothers have, during sew
eral years, operated the large peach
canning plant il Americas, and natur-
ally, desired to know the true condi-
ton of the crop here, which, like the
nine-lived cat, has been killed oftimes
and as often resuscitated. Mr.. Lam
grell has gone carefully through ten
of the fine peach orchards about Fort
Valley and expresses the opion that
the crop will be ample. Mr.. Langrell
thinks if even half the peaches now
upon the trees reach maturity there
will be sufficient fruit for all pur-
poses, and of excellent quality. The
Americas cannery will, without doubt,
be operated this summer, as hereto
fore.

Atlanta, Ca, April 2O-The edi
tor of the picturesquely named Dab
lonega Nugget, which is the largest
and in fact the only newspaper in
Dahlonega, has lost his wife. He
knows just where she is and why she
left home, and in an effort to still the
tongues of the village gossips, he has
placed the entire matter before the
reading public of Dahlonega in an
editorial which misses no detail of the
events leading up to his wife's rebel
lion.
He relates how he and the good wife
had a misunderstanding about how
their boys should be managed ami
how they separated after living to-
gether happily for nearly forty years.
But he puts the village gosisps on no.
tice that no blows were struck, and
that there was no scandal connected
with the matter.
