FINANCIAL NOTES

Juneau, Alaska, July 29.-John W.
Troy, Territorial Collector of Gus
toms, says Alaska's trade with the
United States and foreign countries
in 1919 was, perhaps, larger per capita
of population than that of any other
section of the world. The territory's
imports and exports for the year
amounted to 500, 652, 339, Mr.. Troy re-
ports. This was a decrease from ST.
1896, 1913, as compared with the previous
year.
The balance Of trade in favor Of
Alaska was $31 ,oO0, 900, or about $1,000
for each white person in the territory.
Decrease in the shipments of gold in
Alaska was said to be "the really dis
tressing feature of the years bust
ness" This was attributed to lab
normally high cost of mining gold
without corresponding increase in it's
value.' The net loss in population
during the previous two years was
stopped and there was last year a net
gain of 81.

THE ROAD PROBLEM.

The road problem for Mississippi
is very serious one.
Millions have been invested in good
roads, much Of which will be lost
through the inadequacy of funds with
which to maintain their upkeep.
When these bonds were voted years
ago the maintenance fund was based
upon conditions at that time. The up
keep cost was largely a haphazard
guess upon the part of some engineer
or the commissioners and it proved
totally inadequate under the old nor
nal scale.
Then the indifference and ability of
road commissioners to the welfare of
their projects after located and con

JACKSON HIGHWAY AGAIN

The matter of the Jackson High

trict No. /, all on account of the fac
that the Lamar county end of it does
not meet the Lowndes county ex
tension at the State Line.
Lamar county has, so we are in.
formed, $4,000 government funds
and all) to construct $40 miles from
Vernon south to the State Line, OIL
rather that section which is incom.
plete in this area. But the extension
strikes the Mississippi line two OF
three miles north of where the Jack
son Highway-that is, the Mississippi
end of it--strikes the Alabama line
and it will be necessary to construct
this connecting link before the road
offers continuous traffic between this
city and Vernon.
Fortunately, District No. l is well
situated towards the issuance of
bonds; that is, there is a good mar
gin left between the amount already
issued and the amount authorized by
the ten per cent of assessed valua-
tion law, and the people of that sec
ton will have TO resort to the issuance
of bonds to construct this connecting
line. All seem to favor it, and the
initial steps should be taken at once
so that the entire road can be COM

TWO MEN KILLED BY YOUNG
MAN AT ONE SHOT

Bonneville, Miss, April sth.-The
mystery surrounding the killing Of
Jack Lauderdale and Joseph Rayburn,
on Lauderdale's place near here two
days ago, was cleared up this morn
ing, when Ephriam Davis, aged q
years, surrendered to the sheriff and
confessed to firing the single shot
that killed both men. Davis fired, he
says, as Rayburn had Undertakes
neck under his arm and was stabbing
Lauderdale to death Davis is Lau-
derdale's nephew. He fired the one
shot, ne says, only to protect his
uncle. The bullet pierced the side of
Rayburn, going entirely through his
body and entering Undertakes head
Both men were killed instantly.
The young man was given his free
dom by Justice Rome today after he
had heard the testimony Of Davis.

CALF WHEELS" HOLD
OIL WELL DRILLING.

A Dispatch reporter interviewed
Mr.. NJ H. Snodgrass, the gentleman
in charge Of the drilling Of the well
for the Tombigbee Oil Company,
Thursday, and from him learned that
drilling operations were shut down to
wait for the arrival Of Calf Wheels"
from an iron foundry at Parkersburg,
w. Va. The wheels are large and
heavy and have been shipped by
freight. As soon as they come the
addition will be made to the equip
ment and drilling will be resumed.
The Calf Wheels" are used to
handle the casing as it is being sent
down into the earth. After drilling
some time it was discovered that the
earth in that section is an uncon-
solidated formation; that is, earth
that caves. Consequently it was
necessary to order additional mach
inery to handle the casing. The Tom
bigbee Oil Company is composed of
men who believe in the wisdom of the
motto, Safety First" They were not
willing to take any chances, 50 have
expended considerable money to in
sure the safety of their equipment, as
well as to guard against delay in
reaching the lake of oil that it is hop
cd lies somewhere beneath their well.
The drillers at work on this par
ticular well are men of long exper-
fence. They have bored for oil both
in Texas and Louisiana. They are
firmly convinced that oil will be
struck here, because the formations
through which they go are identical
in every respect to formations en-
countered where they have found oil.
This is especially true when compar-
ison is made between the formation
here and at Burk- Burnett in Texas.
The drillers are very hopeful, and
if the Tombigbee Oil Co. does not
strike the golden fluid in first well; i
the well now being put down turns out
to be a dry hole, the work of putting
down other wells will be Immediately
started. If at first they don't sue
coed, they are determined to try again.
The prospects are too promising to
cause Encouragement even should the
first well yield nothing.
Experienced oil we'll men, who have
visited the Columbus field, state en-
phatically that the Tombigbee Com
pany has the best, most modern and
most efficient machinery known, and
no expense has been spared that
would give promise of results.

fstucted, proved one Of the most ser.
ious drawbacks to the present sys-
tenn.
An these conditions conspired 70
undermine the thoroughness and eff.
ticiency Of our present road system
Then came the war with an Of its
problems. The system was further
handicapped and crippled. The dol
lar which paid for a days labor be-
fore the war paid for only a half a
day. Road material doubled in price.
Transportation costs increased. Road
commissioners found their own farm
ing problems SO acute as to require
all Of their time. For three or four
years the road repair work was limit
ed and only half done. In the mean
time the roads were deteriorating and
going down.
Then came another development.
The scarcity Of labor and its high
price made farms and manufactures
turn to modern machinery to ae-
complish tasks at reduced cost. This
introduced the high-powered truck,
with its heavy load to carry under
any and all circumstances. Under
the influence of two Of the worst win
tiers this section has experienced the
condition of the roads became so bad
that hauling heavy loads with teams
was out of the question and more
trucks were introduced. They hauled
under all sorts of weather and road
conditions with the result that many
roads became impossible except for
trucks. In the meantime the roads
have grown gradually worse.
The problem is to save them, but
how? A radical change should be
made in our road system. Some broad
comprehensive road system scheme
should be inaugurated to save and in
sure the work already done.
Already our taxes are as high as
the citizen wishes to see them 60 but
to work out the salvation of the
county some plan involving a liberal
expenditure of money will be neces-
sary.
The commissioners of the roads
should come together in a whole
hearted meeting and discuss the mat
ter. Sectionalism and factionsalism
and neighborhood lines should be OBJ
liberated in the desire to serve the
whole. Surely there is enough pat
riotism and wisdom and ability and
public spirit in the county in its cit
zenship to enter into the solution of
this problem with fine purpose to
solve it and save our roads. It is
worth their most serious and consec-
rated consideration.

NOT A DROP
TO DRINK

Good morning, Captain; what's the
news?' Dispatch reporter said on
Friday morning to Captain Hudson,
an efficient and highly respected
member of the Columbus Police De-
partment. The Captain responded
with quotation from Coleridge's
Ancient Mariner:
Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink:
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink"
Captain Hudson is very fond of the
above poem. 1t is strangely wierd,
telling as it does of the awful cal
amity brought upon a ship and its
crew through the wanton killing of
an albatross. But "All's we'll that
ends WELL" and things turn out agree
ably in the end. One of the most lofty
sentiments ever expressed by any
poet is contained in these lines Of
Coleridge: 9
He prayeth best, who loveth best,
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth US,
He made and loveth all"

the rest of the milk, they rise to the surface. We then call them cream and skim them off into the churn, and agitate them with some form of dasher. After certain period of this the butter comes" as we say. Of course, it hasn't really come from any, where; it was there all the time. What our churning has done has been to break the skins of the tiny saes in which the butter globules were in cased, thus permitting the sticky atomies to come together, first two and two, and then by the hundreds, and then by the millions. till they make a mass of butter, which they could do while the sacs kept each globule from touching another.
 Now, all this can be found out. Be- ing found out, the. judicious churner will at once see that it makes a differ ence what shape of churII and what method of agitation he adopts. It makes a difference with the texture and flavor of the butter, too. And that is apt to make a difference in the price it will sell for. Practically. therefore, it is the progressive dairy mans business to find out these things and base his conduct upon them. He fails of his best. if he does not. He secures a real advantage by his care full study of such details of the butter making process as are within his scope And. in one sense he can jus tifiably be said to know these things. , At least, he knows the Why of them. But he doesn't kAow, nor does there seem any way in which he can find bout why the COW puts those tiny but ter globules wrapped in their diaph- onous sacs into her milk. The COW doesn't know either. And there you are.
 My point is simply this: That there is no excuse for our not learning all we can about the Why and Wherefore of churning butter, just because we cant know the Why and Wherefore of the buffers being there, to begin with.
 Because we can't fly is no reason why we shouldn't walk to our work. In the absence of wings, legs are more or less useful. It would be siIiy bus mess to sit in an easy chair all our lives, refusing to use such means of self f-locomotion as we have, because we can't have some means we'd like better
 While it is true that we don't know anything with. absolute as- surance, it is just as true that we can find out lots of things with so great degree of probability as to make that probability a basis for practical working. The more such we find out, the better farming we're likely to do.
 Let's keep our feet on the ground, even # our wobbly heads do. some times, get up among the clouds.
