Beeman:
Pittsburg, Pa,
July %.
Dear Mother:
We arrived here all o. k. on Fri
day and I am having a good time
We left Detroit on Thursday night
at 500 and arrived in Pittsburg
Friday morning at 1920. We could
not get chair car or berth so rode
in the passenger car all night. When
we left Detroit it was very hot and
sultry but by the time we were half
way thru Ohio it was as cold as it is
at home in the winter time and
Aunt Jean was sick with the change
in temperature. If only felt bet
ter would like to stay here for it
certainly is great place. Coming
into Pittsburg on the train for about
25 miles the tracks are right along
the Allegheny river with mountains
on both sides, which is some sight.
The streets in front of both of Un-
Gle Charles stores are paved and
are just at the bottom of high
mountain which looks as if it was just
above the store.
The farms around here all have
electric lights, water works, etc., the
housese are all like some Of the pref
ty ones in Flint and back of every
house you see an oil we'll or a coal
mine-no farming at all.
The stores are in Allegheny, part
of Pittsburg, but Pittsburg is sep
arated by a part Of the Allegheny
river which is about as wide as it is
in Detroit from the foot Of Wood
ward to Windsor. The river is not
manageable to big boats as it is full
of big dams. About every mile there
is a dam.
When we came in on the train
along the river we had good view
and for 20 miles there is nothing but
steel mills and the river is covered
with smoke from their stacks. You
said if I was sick not to stay and
think it best to come home so will
be in Detroit Thursday night.
Your son,
Edward.

 I''Our records show that we nave ar rested and brought to trial the persons responsible. In many cases the city re- corder has placed the maximum punish ment on them. But the cases are appeal ed and little else is heard of them. "If some Of these persons who kill children with their automobiles were sent to the penitentary there would be fewer fatal accidents"
 The unusually large number of automo- bile accidents that have occurred in Birmingham during the last two weeks has attracted attention and was brought up before Commissioner Taylor.

Orvis Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. June 27.--Early in to- days session of the cotton market pri- vate reports showing condition of the crop from ss.5 per cent to 71.6 over shadowed all other features These re- ports indicate a falling off in condi- tion of about , per cent for June, so there was another rush of buying. Many of the more thoughtful however, concluded that these unfavora ble con ditions have been discounted by an ad- vance in prices of about $75 per bale from the low level of the year and of about $s5 per bale for this month. In consequence thereof, liquidation set in. From time to time during the day there were rallies due somewhat to efforts on the part of local bulls to sustain prices: nevertheless the mar ket closed practically at the bottom. The technical position is easier and the market vulnerable to sharp de- cline. Reports from sections of the south show that spot cotton is not following the advance in futures and that the basis is cheaper than it has been for some time. Further showers are fcrecasted-Orvis Brothers Co.
