d. naval forces of the Turks on
MA the Black sea, the soldiers of
E the czar ordered to invade
Asia Minor have had to follow
an overland route to reach Transcau-
casia and thence to move further
southwark into Asiatic Turkey. This
trail has led them through some of
the most imposing scenery in the
world, by way of the wonderful
Georgian military road, which mounts
nearly eight thousand feet skyward in
climbing across the formidable eau
casian range.
A map of the region in question will
show that the Caucasian range is
flanked by substantially parallel rail
roads, running on the north and south
side of the mountains. Reaching from
Vladikafkaz on the north to Tifis on
the south is the Georgian military road
over which traffic is conducted by
means of horses because the grades
are too much for the steam locomo-
tive. At times on the way as many as
eight horses are hitched to the post
coaches in order to negotiate the
climb. The toll of the ascent alter
mates with the hazards of the down
ward trail and the dangers of the
sharp turns and the tremendous de-
clivities along which the highway
skirts at times.
Until little over a hundred years
ago the barbaric, freebooting noun
taineers dominated the pass, but then
the Russian government took things
In hand and began the building of the
present road, which opened the route
to wheeled vehicles, frequent military
stations providing the needful safe
guard to travellers and points where
relays of horses could be had. The
route from Vladikafkaz to Tiflis by
way of the Darrell pass is a matter Of
a little short of 1873 miles.
According to Annette M. B. Meakin,
in her book on Russia, the Georgian
military road is divided into twelve
stages, beginning at Tiflis, in Asia, and
ending at Vladikafkaz, in Europe.
The seventh post station is Meta,
in the valley of the Arsgva, 4,961 feet
above the sea, and set where the for
est-covered mountains grow balder
and push their submits sykward bare
and razorlike, amid a general setting

Tribe of Ben-Hur to Organize.

Carlisle will have another fra ternal order added to her list when the hustling young man, Thos. L. Mackey, Deputy Su- preme Chief, organizes the lodge here Thursday night, July Sth.
 In the past four weeks Mir Mackey has written life insur- ance in the order of Ben Hur to the tune of $141 ,000 for nearly 100 applicants for membership in Carlisle and vicinity, all of whom have been examined and are now ready for the initiation on the above date. In this issue will be found the names of the candi- dates in the advertisement an- nouncing the initiation date.
 One fact due to Mr Mackey's success here in securing the ex. traordinary list of charter mem bers Is that no initiation fee is charged during the organization of the Tribe. A notable feature of the Ben Hur advertising is.
 Not question of money." Merely business matter, Do you want protection?" And it l is claimed that the Ben-Hur is the only order in the state doing business on National Fraternal Congress Rates that accepts men and women from the age of 16 to 05 at the same rates. rights and privileges with local gov ernment.
 We believe that insurance from a protective standpoint is a good | thing for anybody, and who can gainsay that the money paid out on such insurance does not prove a blessing when it comes back at a future date relieve the finan clal stress of families in their time of need.
 Truly, MT. Mackey has made a record in this vicinity in organ lzlng lodge in so short a time with so great a showing as he has made with the Ben.Hur.

Great Peach Orahard
 to Ship 1000 Cars.

A bumper crop of peaches Is being gathered from one of the largest orchards in the world at Highland, town on the Prescott and Northwestern Railroad, in Pike county. Recent visit of cap- ltalist to this large orchard are very encouraging, and it is be- lieyed that this orchard will de- velop into one of the largest in the world. It is already the larg- est in the United States.
 About 5000 acres are contained ln this orchard, and over 330,000 trees are growing with healthy branches on this beautiful spot on the side of the Ozarks. If these trees were set out 10 feet apart they would make a solid row across the State of Arkan- SaS.
 Everything is conducted on large scale in this mamoth orch ard. There are 40 miles of pike roads through the orchard, grad ed and bridged. Several miles of railroad track also run through 1t for convenience in shipping the crop to the Northern market. It is equipped with electrict lights, and the managers office Is connected with all parts of the orchard by telephone.
 It is estimated that consider ably over 1000 carloads of peach es will be shipped this season.
 The same company has under cultivation more than a hundred acres of strawberries and canti loupes, which are produced at large profit; besides a patch of radishes was raised this spring for side line to bring in early cash, which produced 1000 bar. rels.
 Hundreds of tourist are shown over the orchard every year, as many visitors come from a great distence to view this wonderful acreage in peaches.

CONTROLS
P|CRIC ACID OUTPUT
Paris Munition Dealers Certain
British Have Cornered
Market.

PARIS, May 1.-THE local war mu-
nitions market continues to be dis
turbed by a report, now become more
or less of a conviction, that the Brit
ish government has made a corner in
picric acid by means of early pur-
chases of all existing supplies and of
contracts for the output of all neu-
tral producers for the next year. The
agents here who have been seeking
the acid for Russia report that sellers
refuse % francs a kilogram for June
l delivery on lots of a few thousand
tons.
Prices around II francs are spoken
of as probable for early autumn de-
livery and a few rush sales are said
to have gone through lately for Rus
STA at 2S francs.
The Importance attached to the sup
posed British corner is that it will en-
able the English to stop the war so
far as her allies are concerned in case
one of them-Russia notably-should
prefer to go on for another year after
England and France are prepared TO
sign a peace treaty. Naturally, the
rumor about the corner has been ac-
companied by report that it was to
J. p. Morgan q Co that the mission
of securing the monopoly had been
entrusted and that the banking house
was not in perfect agreement with the
British government.
The latest French rumor about
munitions is that NJ. Ribot, minister
of finance, has called a halt on eX-
travagant expenditure, which has in
cidentally invalidated a number of
important American contracts.
