TOWN BRANDS
 RUN BY TRAIN

BOONE. N. C.. Sept. 3. The mountain folk swear by "Tweetsie, , Ia little narrow gauge railway wind ing along among the coves and crags on 66-mile route between here and Johnson City, Tenn.
 The engineer has been on the job 35 years, the conductor, 32. They think nothing of stopping the train in front of mile-high cabin, picking up children and delivering them safely to the home of a rela- tive down the track, while the con- ductor often shops in town for an isolated housewife or farmer. Then the train stops in front of a farm home for the specific purpose of delivering a spool of thread or a length of wire.
 The little train with its huff, puff locomotive will stop anywhere, any time. Its whistle, ringing shrilly through the mountains, is more for greeting than warning.
 The formal name of this folksy railroad is the Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina rail- way, but you could not tell the mountain people it is anything but "Tweetsie,' the title they gave it 52 years ago.

OF FISH NOW ON
 YUKON RIVER
Fairbanks News -Miner)

A serious shortage of salmon on the Yukon River, much needed for food by natives and for feeding logs, is reported by Capt. A. s. Crane, Postmaster and trader at Rampant, visitor in Fairbanks.
 Prom Fort Yukon to Panama practically no fish have been taken this year, said the captain. The high stage of the Yukon waters this season, carrying much drift wood, has made it almost impossible to operate fish wheels with any satis- faction and we are not certain there has been an appreciable run of salmon of any kind to date.
 One Chance Left
 The periods of the appearance Of most of the fish have passed. but we may yet have a late run of silvers. That is only problematical. The time for kings and dog salmon to appear has passed.
 I do not know what we can do to get supply of dried salmon if we lose out on the prospects of a late run of silvers. Perhaps we could get some fish up from the mouth of the Yukon, but that is a question.
 Get Supply Base
 The section of the river above and below the town of Rampant. especially in the Ruby area, has been a great producer and supply source for dried fish in previous years. Ruby at one time was great base for such fish. Dried salmon from the section of the Yukon mentioned not only has supplied the central Yukon points, but has shipped heavily to Ne mana and upper Tanana and Yu- kon points. Salmon is a great asset to all living along the Yukon and Panama and other side streams and If the supply is not forthcoming during the brief period of the re- present season it is going to be just too bad for the people of the region and their many fine and dogs"

STOCK MARKET
LEADERS DROP;
TRADING SLOW
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, May 2 G.NSO
The stock market reacted on a
wide front today with leaders off
a point or more, although trading
continued at the apathetic pace of
last week.
The trend was lower from the
opening, shares moving down
gradually under extremely light
selling. Steels, coppers, motors,
chemicals, aviations and blue.
chips showed the largest losses.
DUPONT FALLS OFF
Westinghouse Electric dropped
more than two points and Du-
Point almost as much. Losses of
a point or more were common
throughout pivotal groups.
The latter classification included
United States Steel, Youngstown
and Bethlehem in steels; General
Motors and Chrysler in motors;
American Smelling and Kennecott
in coppers; Unioh Carbide and
Air Reduction in chemicals.
COMMODITIES EASY
Sears Roebuck in mail orders;
Case and Deere in farm imple-
ments; Boeing in aviations;
Owens-Illinois and Libby Owens
Ford in the glass division; Ameri.
can Can, and General Electric.
Allied Chemical was among the
scattered few issues to register a
gain.
Commodities displayed easier
tendencies.
