SALE PRODUCES
 POETS LETTER

Marb1ehead, Mass-(UP)-Mrs Charles G. Miller believes that by paying a nickel for secondhand book, Treasures of the Prose World" she may have acquired un- willingly the last letter written by the poet Henry Wadsworth Long, fellow.
 The letter had been slipped be- tween the yellowed leaves of the tattered Volume, which Mrs Miller bought at church rummage sale in Rowley. The letter. adjudged authentic by several collectors who have inspected it, was dated March 13, 1882, just II days before the poets death at his Cambridge home. It was addressed to l.. Reich, 13 West 11th street, New York, N. Y., and read:
 My Dear Sir:
 Another case of your Tokayer Ansbruch of 1868 has reached me safely, and again I thank you for your very generous present of this delicious wine.
 T wish I were we'll enough to write you longer letter in its praise, but my amanuensis is ab- sent and I am finding writing with my own hand rather difficult.
 Mot so difficult, however, as to prevent me from sending you most cordial thanks. I am, my dear sir, yours very truly,

.ROMOLA FINISH
 GETS UNDER WAY
 DURING OCTOBER
Southwestern Irrigation Work Now Financed
 By Government

Phoenix, Ariz.-(UP)-Work or one of the southwest's most i'm. portant irrigation districts will be- gin near here shortly after Oct i, when $50 men begin the rehabilita- tion of the one-time Romola pro- ject.
 The work will represent com pletion of 6 40-year dream of Col w. H. Beardsley, for whom the project was originally named.
 R. F. c. Gives Loan
 A loan of $1,350,090 by the re- construction finance corporation has made the task possible. The money is to be used in building a new irrigation canal system. a Hume across the Agua Fri river and for repairs to the Carl Pleasant dam. behind which the districts water are stored.
 Five years ago California pro- motors envisioned "Romola of Ari- zona." To hundreds of persons whom they solicited through the mails, the project brought dreams of lazy Spanish romance.
 Promoter Convicted
 However, the promotion scheme blew up when federal authorities convicted the promoters for mail fraud and sent them to prison.
 Instead of the 80,000 acres ad- vertised by the promoters, the present project when completed will cover 10000 acres of arabic land. Approximately 10000 acres alread have been planted to citrus, cotton and other crops.
 Full of Hardships
 The history of the project has bee nfull of hardships and excite- ment. During it's early develop ment farmers were hard pressed to meet notes due on it's construc- tion.
 Then, in 1929, land owners in the fertile farming lands below the dam, fearful that defects in it might cause the barrier to wash away, threatened to dynamite it.. To pervent violance, a hole was cut in the dam to prevent storage of water above the 135-foot point. Under new plans this hole will be blocked up.

Bennett of Canada, initialled the secret agreement before he sailed for Canada last Saturday. A general discussion followed to-day's ceremony, and then rep resentatives of the chief exporting nations began their negotiations with Russia regarding the share of the world export quota to be alot- ted her.
 Twenty-one nations signed the agreement last Friday. The Ar genuine government withheld authorization for Le Breton to sign pending investigation of committ- ments.
 There were several exchanges of cablegrams and not until last night did LeBreton receive word that he might sign.
 Now the wheat conferees have only to reach an agreement with Russia, one of the five big export ing nations, on the share of the $50, ,000,O 900 export total to be allot- ted her.
 Argentina and Australia were reported to have obtained import ant concessions in the agreement on the plea that they were not re- sponsible for the surplus that me- cessitatcd the plan to stabilize the wheat situation.
 It was reported htat they were committed merely to limiting their exports within certain quotas for the first half of the calendar years 1884 and 1895,

DisTILLERS TAKE ON TRAPPNGs OF aBIG BUSINESS"

enlarging It's plant and warehous- ing facilities at Schenley, Pa. An other subsidiary, the George T. Stagg Co.,, at Frankfort, Ky, is now producing large quantities of Kentucky bourbon and rye.
 The alcohol companies have been active. U. s. Industrial AL cohol, which makes mostly dena- tured alcohol and solvents for lacquers, can turn out 10000, 900 gallons of alcohol a year, part of which could be very useful in ex- banding, the slender stock of aged whiskey, or in making gin or other liquors that can be built on an a1- cohol base. Commercial Solvents Corp, largest present producer of grain alcohol, enters the picture through the same door. It recent ly acquired the industrial alcohol
 business of the Rossville Alcohol and Chemical Corp. and is plan ming to increase the output of it's Peoria alcohol plant from 18,O0O,- 900 to 3s,000,000 gallons a year. At Peoria also, before the first of the year there is expected to be under construction one of the
 largest distilleries in the world, capable of making 100000 gall Ions of bourbon and rye whiskies a day. The Canadian firm of Hir- am Walker-Gooderham 6 worts Is back of this, probably with one eye on future import tariffs.
 TALK OF CANADIAN MERGERS
 The American Commercial AL cohol Corp, is planning improve ments at its Pekin, III, distiilery that will enable it to turn from 6,000 to 1000 bushels of grain a day into whiskey and gin.
 Rumors of a continental merger
 between distillers of this country and four of the great Canadian companies persist. Canadian
 liquor shares have risen sensation- ally, for these companies have im-
 mense stocks of properly-matured
 whiskies on hand. The British
 Isles wait hopefully, and humble
 something about paying the war
 debts in whiskey.
 With mixed feelings a great
 country waits to see what the
 long -banished John Barleycorn
 will look like at the homecoming If there is homecoming.

LIGHTHOUSE NOW

Atlantic City, N. J. -(UP)- While residents of Atlantic City are becoming accustomed to a dark ened Absecon lighthouse. Knud Hansen, it's keeper for 38 years, is growing used to retirement.
 Though remaining at the light house temporarily as caretaker, Hansen no longer must stand night ly vigil in the tower of the. 79- year-old structure. He has been pensioned, and the powerful cleo tric lights of the city have eclipsed the oil vapor beam he once nour- ished and was kept a-glow.
 There was a time when the an- gry waves pounded the towers foundation, but that was long ago, before the sea piled acre upon acre of sand between it and the present shoreline. Now 1t stands two city blocks beyond the beach. crowded on all sides by modern structures.
 De-commissioned by the govern ment for reasons of economy and inefficiency, the lighthouse now rises like a monument of futility amid the dwellings of city 1t saw grow from a fishing village to one of the worlds leading resorts.
 Hansen, still robust and vigor- ous at 66, tends his flower garden and visits his friends. He has noth- ing else to do.

OREGON ELKS TO

 struCtiOn

Portland, Ore, (UP)-The state of Oregon intends to conserve its wild life for the present generation and posterity. but when elk became so numerous that they tore down fences and ruined crops, the legis- lature stepped in and sentenced a number of them to death.
 First Hunt Since 1907
 Thus Oregon sportsmen, and those others who wish to pay the nonresident hunting license fee, this fall will have their first legal elk hunting since the ban was im- posed in 1907.
 When elk shooting was closed in 1908. 1t was estimated there were 1000 or less of the big animals roaming the forests and mountain ous sections of Oregon. Now, state game officials declare, there are not less than 12,000 inhabiting the state.
 Four eastern Oregon counties umatilla, Union, Baker and Wall owa, where three fourths of the animals range, will be the only sec- tions open to hunting. Dates for the season are October 23 "A and 25. Shooting will be restricted to bull elk having not less than two points on each horn.

 STOCK MARKET REACTION
 The passing of the Old Over. holt distillery, with 31,000 gal. Ions of mellow whiskey, to Nation al Distillers, is emblematic of the change in the industry. This dis tillery, at Broad Ford, Pa, has been making whiskey since two years before the War of 1872. It Is thea distillery in which A. w.. Mellon once had an interest.
 National Distillers created an- other sensation by offering the strongest dividend ever declared by an American corporation. It had on hand some 100000 cases of whiskey in the wood more than 15 years. It decided to distribute part of this to stockholders. On October 1, 1894, this huge company will give q warehouse receipt for a case of whiskey to every holder of five shares of the companys stock, the actual whiskey to be distributed to holders of the re- ceipts when. as and If thel aw per- mits. National Distillers has boen the sensation of a sensational stock market, rising from a low of 16 7-S to a peak of 124 7-S. Other stocks connected with repeal pros- poets have also skyrocketed. Long, neglected rye rose to a place be- side dollar wheat.
