ting the patch in tobacco Messrs.
Rainey scattered 500 pounds Of
10 per cent. potash fertilizer to the
acre, using a manure spreader.
This Fertilizer was specially made
with 10 per cent potash. Other
wise the usual method of cultiva-
ton, curing, etc., was followed,
but it is stated the tobacco grew
as tall as an ordinary mans head,
which may be verified when it is
Ietated that it was topped at six
teen to twenty-four leaves. Now,
this sounds like pretty big to-
bacco story, but it's true, and you
don't have to take either our word
or Chambers for it-go ask Rain

We've heard a good deal of the
CraveIed road from Dukedom to
Mayfield, but never travelled this
muchly-talked-of thoroughfare un-
til last Friday, when we drove
High Sheriff LaFon over to the
Graves county metropolis, where
Sheriff Sullivan had in tow a
negro whom he was holding for
LaFon. This road is a fairly
good road, much better in winter
than our dirt roads, no doubt,
but for our part we wouldn't
give one mile OF Wayne Jones'
split-log drag road for five miles
of this rough graveled road-that
is for easy, free riding in sum-
mer time. When we passed
through the city Of Latham Fri
day Wayne Jones had three big
horses hitched to a drag and the
work he was doing was just
simply fine. Keep it up, Wayne;
it will make a man of you and
future generations will call you
blessedl
Uncle Dick Jackson and Mrs.
Jackson arrived here Friday on
the noon train from their long au-
tomobile journey of several thous-

q wrenched back at McEwen last
Friday morning and was brought
home on the train, Hillary Beden
remaining with the car and driv-
ing it in home that night. While
turning a sharp curve in the road
the rear wheel Of the car struck
hole, which ierked Mrs. Jackson
0 suddenly that her back was
yrenched, and when she arrived
There Friday noon, was suffering
intensely. While her injury is
quite painful, she will recover. A
fine trip was enjoyed by those old
people and their grandchildren.

ON carter, wanted
hs comfy on an old charge of
tleggipg. Carter had been
frosted in Mayfeld and in order
10 hold him pending the arrival
of requisition papers it was neces-
sary to prefer a second charge
against him, that of adultry, but
when Sheriff LaFon arrived with
requisition papers the adultrY
charge against Carter was dis
missed and he was turned over to
LaFon, with whom he is now
sojourning. Carter, some time
ago was spied in Greenfield by
eagle-eyed Ned Hatcher, who
tapped to the wire, asking Sheriff
LaFon if Carter was wanted, but
before Hatcher could get back and
arrest Carter someone had given
Carter the tip and he proceeded to
skip. After getting the Kentucky
line between himself and the
Tennessee officers, the negro wrote
Hatcher the most insulting, the
most profane and the vilest letter
a white man ever received.
Deputy Sheriff Egbert Bullock
went to the Fifteenth district Sat-
urday and arrested Sam and Zeb
Stout, charged in a warrant with
contempt of court. Both gentle
men gave bond in the sum of $3.50
each. The Stouts have been hav-
ing trouble with Will Ketchem
over a fence. 1t is said that Ketch-
EN- gave land for a passageway to
the bottom; Stout's land joins
Ketchem's, and Stout erected a
fence across the passageway which
Ketchem had given, joining the
fence to Ketchem's. The latter
removed the fence and opened up
the passageway; the Stouts are
alleged to have rebuilt the fence,
and again Ketchem removed it,
and when Stout rebuilt it Ketchem
prayed an injunction, enioining
them from closing the passage
way. The injunction was prompt
ly granted, and when the Stouts
again put up the fence a warrant
was issued for their arrest, the
charge being contempt Of court.
Mr.. F. G. Ezell has bought

The collier Prothemus, which crop
ped anchor in the Cordova harbor late
yesterday afternoon will remain here

doing at sea any work that can be
done at the navy yard machine shops,
fully equipped to handle any job of any
size or any description. There is
aboard machine, blacksmith, boiler,
pipe, copper and pattern shops as we'll

M|STAKESFATHER
FOR A MOOSE
K|LLSH|M

Taken for a moose while hunting
at Katchemak Bay an old timer,
known all over Alaska as "Siwash"
Brown was accidentally shot and kill
ed by his son the other day. Mr..
Brown for many years has carried the
mail between Homer and Illiamna.
The father and son left for Katchemak
Bay about a week or ten days ago on
a moose hunt. About four days ago
they started out from their camp and
it seems that the father got ahead of
his son some distance. He was stoop-
ing behind some brush and started to
get up, just as his son came in sight.
Mr.. Brown had on a notified colored
brown hunting suit and as he raised
his arm in the act of getting to his
feet the son took it for horns of a
moose and shot into the bush, hitting
his father in the heart. Mr.. Brown
died instantly.
The body was taken to Anchorage
for burial. The son is all broken up
over the tragedy. He is young man
of about 20 years of age and was a
very close companion of his father.

JONES P D | N I s
OUT NEGLECT
GOVERNMENT

Lester E. Jones, superintendent Of
the United States and Geodetic Sur
vey, who made visit to Alaska last
year as Deputy Commissioner of Fish
cries, recently made an interesting
talk before the Pacific Fisheries So
city in San Francisco, in which he
emphasized the need of charting the
channels and providing aids to navi-
CATION in Alaska Among other things
he said:
81 am fully aware that in many in
stances these fishing companies have
found it necessary to make their own
surveys of the channels, which has
been done at considerable expense and
loss of valuable time.
"This may seem to reflect on the U.
S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. But
the blame does not lie there. The
survey is doing and has been doing
everything possible with the means at
hand-indeed it has almost accom-
plished more than possible for it goes
without saying that boats like the
Gedney and Macarthur, Al and 40
years old respectively (ready to sink
at almost any time), are not only I'M
fit to accomplish efficient work for a
government like ours, but endanger
the lives of the men in our service.
In addition to these vessels, the steam
ship Patterson, used in more unpro-
tected places, and the Taku, used in
carrying on inshore soundings, are not
the kind of vessels which should now
be used or be kept in commission for
doing the most efficient work of this
sort. | am glad to say that Congress,
last year. appropriated money, part
of which was for a new vessel to be
known as the Surveyor" which will
be used exclusively in carrying on
surveys in Alaska waters.
This l hope, makes a new era, not
only in furnishing a high type of yes
sci, peculiarly and properly adapted
for this work, but which will mean the
beginning of an expansion whereby
we will have have given us regularly,
the urgent needs for carrying on the
work.

LANE | n FAVOR
DEVELO OPT n c
RESOURCES

WASHINGTON, Aug 31.-Secretary
Lane is preparing his annual report to
Congress as Secretary of the Interior
and will recommed several new
changes in regard to the conservation
of the great natural resources of the
country. The administration is now
ready to go ahead with it's water pow
er bill, the provisions having been
agreed upon and the secretary is now
drafting the measure which he will
strongly urge upon Congress in his re-
port The bill will place all water
powers throughout the west and Alas
ka, not now privately owned, under
public control, with probabilities of
being leased under government regu-
lations. The Secretary will also re-
commend the passage of national leas-
ing bills for the coal, oil and other
public lands of the United States, and
while details are not yet available it
is believed that the secretary is in IA
ver of making the terms of the leases
reasonable so that capital will be en-
couraged to invest and devlop these
resources. Mr.. Lane said today that
he expected all these bills to pass the
senate in the coming session although
they failed of passage last year. The
terms have been considerably modi-
fed.
