sWIFT's PRODUCE REVIEW

The volume of eggs reaching the
market is smaller than for the same
time last year. The demand for cur
rent use is good and prices have
shown some advance during the week
Withdrawals are being made from
storage stocks to meet the. needs of
the consuming trade.
Butter production is holding up
well; pasturage conditions are gener-
ally reported as satisfactory; the
market has taken an upward turn
and higher prices are being paid for
butterfat in country points.
Indications point to a large sup
ply of chickens which are now reach
ing the marketing age. More poultry
has marketed during the past week
than could be used currently, and
some surplus has been placed in stor-
age.
Feeding plants are generally filling
to capacity and even marketing is
suggested. The plants are now sc
generally fixed that they have suffi.
! Gent help to take care of the poul-
Try. Any very sudden, large increase
n receipts, however, would make ii
iifficult to handle the situation.

TARVIA STREETS
ARE COMING SOON
Extension Work May Be Taken
Up and Finished Before AS
phslt Is Completed

According to the opinion of Mayor
L. P. Evans, Councilman Charles Ter
rill, of the street committee, and 9TH
ers, the extensive street Improvement
work will be finished before the up
town folks get their work done, for
the material has begun to arrive for
The thoroughfares, and it is expected
the tarvia, which has been ordered,
will arrive within a short time, since
it has been shipped several days.
Mayor Evans said he did not see
why the extension work skorld be
held off until the completion of the
street work in the business part Of
the city, since the city would do the
outside work, anyway, and he had no
reason to believe but the work would
be started within a short time. This
will be good news to the residents of
the thoroughfareS to be treated to the
tarvia, and they have shown a dispo-
sition to be trife impatient, accord
ing to the numerous inquiries, and it
is known that all desire the work fin
ished before the rough weather pre-
walls
The sand for the streets, which has
been purchased in Cincinnati, has ar
rived, and it is said to be about the
best quality for this purpose ever
seen. 1t is ready to be mixed, and
with the arrival Of the tarvia there is
no reason why the work should not be
started. There will be approximately
two miles of this improvement work,
it beginning at the ending of the paw
ed streets where the pavement is pro-
vided; then there Will be a numebr
Of additional pieces of streets treated
to the application which will COM
prise a goodly layer of gravel and
other ingredients, upon which the tar
via will be placed.
Mayor Evans admitted the Daily
Register slipped up on him in Civ
ing an account of the extensive and
voluntary Improvement work upon
the part of the residents of lower
Walnut street, but stated it was the
proper spirit, and believed if all res
jdents were as appreciative of their
neighborhood as those of lower Wal
nut street, there would be decided
change in several parts of the city.

EXPOSITION IS
ATTENDED BY MANY
Legion Men Greet Friends and
Attractions Prove of More
Than Ordinary Interest

Despite the cool weather, the initial
bow of the Miller Brothers circus ex-
position was made to liberal attend
ance in Richmond Monday night when
the carnival for the week was formal
ly opened, with bands playing and
the numerous attractions we'll pre-
sented. There was in charge at the
doors a corps of members of the
American Legion, under whose au-
spices the exposition is visiting the
city, and they saw TO it that the pa
irons got their moneys worth. The
various attractions rendered the eX-
position grounds scene of unusual
interest and the manner in which the
public responded indicated the popu-
larity of the legion here. The pro-
gram will be continued throughout
the week and band concerts will be
but one of the free features during
the stay Of the circus here. The man
agement, together with the class of
attaches, as we'll as the artists ap-
pearing, have by their conduct struck
Il popular chord in the hearts of ma
ny Richmondites, and tney are a5sur-
ed of the continuance of the liberal
patronage during their stay. The
attractions are out of the ordinary in
point of interest. The quality of the
entertainments generally is above
the average carried by an exposition
company. Again, the ones in charge
are ever looking after the comfort
and pleasure Of their patrons, a fact
that appeals to the public and brings
success to the venture.
The list of legion men who will re-
ceive patrons at the various exhibi
tions on Tuesday night is as follows:
Hart Perry, chairman, Tom Caden,
Luther Powell, Joel Arbuckle, J. w.
W;ggins, Eugene Moynahan, John NJ.

ESTES CONTINUES
ON WAY TO RECOVERY
Believed That Only Remaining
Witness Against Spivy Has
Fair Chance

This is the fifth day since the
!operatlon on George Estes was
performed at the Pattie A Clay
inflrmary, and the young man
who is showing wonderful vitali-
| ty; bids lair to recover, according
to the early statement given out
at the hospital Tuesday morning.
Estes, who is one of the two
participants OF the Friday morn
ing tragedy at Irvine, to survive
his injuries, is surprising the at
itending physicians since he has
displayed the most wonderful
NERVE of any patient, unless it was
ibis companion, Deputy Sheriff
Henry Reed, who died Saturday
afternoon at the inhrmary. Estes
is able to talk some, and it is
claimed he repeated the same
story regarding the tragedy that
was given out by him to his
brother and the man Christopher
who accompanied him to Rich
mond last Friday morning after
hte shooting. He persists i'll stat
ing that he had no revolver. and
defies any and all to prove tha'
he had
Late Monday night Mrs Robt
Philpot, daughter and two sons
came to Richmond and spen
some time at the county jail talk
ing to detective Spivy, held fo-
the shooting OF Reed and Estes
The woman made no statement tc
any one else and her conversation
was confined, it is said, to matter
of-fact things, pertaining to thu
tragedy and incidents leading VI
% it. The other members of Tho
oarty had little to say. Spivy is
said to have related to the party
much the same story that he gave
20 the Daily Register, in that he
was not responsible for the shoot
ing, and only drew his gun an(
fred after Estes started to run
away. Mrs. Pllilpot and relatives
returned home late Monday
night. Irvine is said to have quiet
ed down since the affray.

RAILROAD RATES GO
UP ON WEDNESDAY
State Railroad Commission AT
Frankfort Holds 1t Has No
Jurisdiction Over Increases

Frankfort, Ky, Aug. 25-Be-
ginning Wednesday midnight
railroad rates in Kentucky will be
increased rs per cent on freight
and 20 per cent on passenger
fares.
This means that railroad rates
in the state will be advanced to
correspond with interstate rates.
The interstate increases were au-
thorized by the Interstate Com
merce Commission July 81, to be
effective August 20.
The State Railroad Commission
Monday held that it had no juris-
diction over blanket increases in
side Kentucky that conform with
interstate rates authorized by the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. 1t cannot pass on the in
creased rates until after they be-
come effective and specific COM
plaint against separate tariffs has
been made, the commission ruled.
The railroads last week filed
new tariffs increasing the intra-
state rates to correspond with the
interstate rates. This will in
crease passenger fares to SO per
mile and advance freight rates 25
per cent.
Protests against intrastate rate
increases by the Louisville Live
Stock Association, the Louisville
Board of Trade and coal opera
tors resulted in the State Railroad
Commissions decision.
No decision was given relative
to advance Of II 1-2 per cent in
express rates. The Commission
sought advice from Attorney
General Charles I. Dawson re-
garding express rates and will
give its decision later.
Under the law, express COM
panies cannot increase express
rates except after thirty days no
ticc to the Railroad Commission.
The American Express Company
asked the Commission to waive
the 80 days notice in order that
the IL IL per cent increased al
lowed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission might be pW
into effect September l..
Industrial interests of the state
protested against certain of the
Increased interstate railroad and
express rates being made intra-
state.
IT. Green Garrett. Winchester.
former member of the Railroad
Commission, asked that no opin-
ion be given on the question of
jurisdiction until hearing could
,,e held at which the public and
shippers could be heard. He
claimed that the Is per cent in
crease freight rates were eXorbi-
tant that the l.. & N. railroad has
not kept faith with the people.
and is not entitled to an increase
and the public should have time
to verify the earnings of the road
and see if the increase is neCes-
SarV.
Can Ride Trip Out, Anyway
The exact time of the change in
rates is II 80 o'clock next We'd
nesday night, August 25 The in
crease is 20 per cent fiat on fares
and so per cent on Pullman rates.
although this additional sur
charge for sleeping car accommo-
dations goes to the railroad COM
pany making the haul and not to
the Pullman company.
If you desire to make trip en-
tirely across the continent you
can make it at the old rate, even
though you leave as late as one
minute before midnight on the eff
fective date Of the change. 1t is
even possible to leave after the
