NEWS NOTES FROM THE MOUNTAIN
METROPOLIS OF INTEREST TO
NEWS READERS.
From Our Begnlar Correspondent.
The fifth annnal horse show will
take place in this city on Tuesday
and Wednesday, April 16th and
17th, and work has begun on the
track and parking spaces at River
side Park. Each year since the in
auguration of the first horse show
in Asheville the affair has grown/
more popular each year and is now
looked forward to as one of the
principle local events of the year in
the way of amusements. At the
present writing a number of en
tries have been made and people
are beginning to reserve parking
space for the two days of the show,
a number of inquiries conning from
parties out of town. It is stated
that from present indications the
entries will be unusually large this
year and a lot of new stock will be
shown for the first time before the
Asheville public.
Work on the new five million
gallon reservoir which is being
erected for tliis city by the Farager
Engineering Company, is being
pushed rapidly to completion. It is
exj^ected that it will be finished by
the latter part of May. The new
reservoir will cost Asheville $40,000.
The capacity is so gaged that there
will be three days’ supply of water
on hand all the time. In case of a
break in the pipe line running from
the intake there will be sufficient
water on hand to supply the needs
of the city while the break is being
repaired. The site of the new res
ervoir is on the side of the moun
tain, just east of the city and near
the Zelandia estate of Phillip S.
Henry. The site was formerly used
as a rock quarry by the city and
lilTords a fine place for a reservoir.
The reservoir will be 150 feet high.
It will be made from reinforced
ooncrete and built on a solid foiin-
dalion of rock.
At a recent meeting of the Board
of Aldermen the special tax on
street fairs was remitted so that the
Order of Eagles could hold their
street carnival here next month.
At the same m )cting the board
[jassed an ordinance ordering the
■street car, electric light, telephone
and telegraph companies with x^oles
standing within the city limits to
paint each pole green for a distance
of ten feet from the ground. The
vv^riter is uninformed as to why
this action vras taken by the board
.jr why green was the color selected.
Members of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers emx^loyed on
the entire system of the Southern
Railway Company are asking for
an increase in salary. The request
for an increase is being made
t hrough a delegation of their order
who at the present writing are in
Washington confering with the
railroad officials. Members of the
Brotherhood who are employed on
tl:e Asheville, Spartanburg and
Knoxville divisions are rather reti
cent, concerning the increase in
wages demanded ^nd definita in
formation is difficult to secure.
Since the announcement from |
Washington to the effect that the I
revenue office now located in this
citv would be moved to Statesville, !
1
considerable speculation has been |
rife—“who would be left here as
stamp deputy?” The announce
ment by U. S. Revenue Collector
George H. Brown that C, B. Moore
of his present force would officiate
here in the capacity of stamp dep
uty has settled the agitation among
the throng of “radicals scrambling
for this large cut of pie.” The
date for the removal of the office to
Statesville has not been decided
upon. j
E. S. Bums of this city, a former
employe of the Svouthern Express
Comi)any,‘ has brought suit against
that company for $5,000 by reason
of alleged damage to his character.
The basis for the suit is the disap
pearance of a package of money
amounting to $95, which ’ the com
pany claims was shipped from
Waynesville to Asheville during
the Christmas rush last year. The
package failed to show up at this
end of the line and the company
requested Burns to make the
amount good. Burns declined to
do so and was discharged. The
plaintiff contends that the package
was never shipped from Waynes
ville, therefore is not responsi-
bie for its disappearance, and con
tends that he can produce evidence
to that effect when the case is
called for trial.
Your correspondent is informed
that work will shortly begin in
Jackson county on the proposed
railway from Sylva to EastLaporte.
It is further stated that George W.
Vanderbilt is anxious to have the
road touch his lands in Transylva
nia county. If this information is
correct the new road should eventu
ally tap tho Southern at some
point near 6r«rmrd.' With Mr.
Vanderbilt's inlluence and large in
terests in and near Transylvania
the accomplishment of this connec
tion with the Southern might bo
considered definite. L. R. D.
STEAFtr^BOAT ON FRENCH BROAD.
The Asheville Gazqtte-News
of last Thursday has the following
account of a new boat that is to
navigate the French Broad rivei
this smrimer:
The fiat-bottomed boat built by
Capt. V. E ?dcB(^e at Buck Shoals
and desitrned to ply the waters of the
French Droad river, made her initiai
trip Sunday The boat, propelled
by two ga oline engines often horse
power each, was sent up the river
toward lircvard. She was not taken
all the way to the capital of Transyl
vania county. She was, however,
taken several miles up the P"rench
Broad and today it was learned that
the trial trip of the “steamer” was
entirely satisfactory.
Capt. McBee has named his boat
the “Dreadnaught” and her shrill
vvhi?^tie will this summer be heard all
along the French Broad from Ashe
ville to Brevard. It is not believed
that any difficulty will beexperienced
in the boat’s regular trips between
Buck Shoals and-Brevard this spring
and summer with the water at its
normal deptli. The shoals between
Asheville and Buck Shoals wili be
attacked at no distant date and a
passage for the “steamA’,’ dynamit
ed away. The Dreadnaught has a
passtMiger-carrying capacity of 20 to
25, while her speed through the
waters of the French Broad is given
at 15 miles an hour. There is much
interest inaifest here in the “steam
boat” line inaugurated by Capt. Mc-
Bee and when the boat is placed at
the disposal of the public as a ‘‘com
mon carrier” it will doubtless do a
rush business, for a season at least.
A Chica<^o Professor says that
poetry is a sign of barbarism.
This is a little hard on Indiana,
but Illinois always was jealous of

Our Meat and Dairy Bxports.
Meats, dairy products and food ani
mals sent out of the United States last
year aggregated over $250,000,000 In
value. More than 60 per cent of this
enormous total went to the United
UST OF JURORS.
At the regular meeting of the
Board of Commissionefs held Mon
day the following persons were
Kingdom. E^en thl^Iarge percente^^ dra’tvn to serve as jurors at the
however, is less than that of a decade ' superior court of
ago, when Great Britain took over 70
per cent of the products of this charac
ter passing out of the United States.
These figures for 1906 include about
$2,G6G,000 worth of meat and dairy
products sent to Hawaii and Porto
Rico, which are no longer included by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor^ in its
statements of exports, but are includ
ed in the* present calculation, because
the comparison is made with condi
tions in 189G, when both those islands
were included in the list of countries
to which merchandise of this character
was exported.
Of this $250,000,000 worth of meats
and dairy products (including food ani
mals in this term) passing out of the
United States last year $40,000,000
worth was live animals, $58,000,000
lard, $36,000,000 bacon, $25,000,000 fresh
beef, $21,000,000 hams, $18,000,000 oleo
margarine, $14,000,000 pork other than
bacon and hams, $4,500,000 butter and
$2,500,000 cheese.
Of the $40,000,000 worth of live ani
mals sent out of the country in the cal
endar year 190G $38,250,000 was the
value of cattle. Of this large total the
United Kingdom took $35,000,000 worth,
and of the remainder Cuba took over
$1,000,000 worth, Belgium nearly $1,-
000,000 and Canada nearly $500,000
worth. Of the $5s,c00,000 worth of
lard, the largest single item under the
grouping of meats and meat products,
$20,000,000 worth went to the United
Kingdom, $17,500,000 to Germany, $G,-
000,000 to Netherlands, a little less
tlian $3,000,000 to Belgium, a little less
than $3,000,000 to Cuba, while tho re
mainder went chiefly to Mexico, Cen
tral and South America and the Vv'est
Indies, Of the $3G,000,000 worth of
bacon exported $29,000,000 went to tlie
United Kingdom, a little over $2,000,-
000 to Belgium, a little less than $1,-
000,000 worth to the Netherlands, a
little less than $1,000,000 worth to Ger
many, while the remainder was widely
scattered. Of the $21,000,000 worth of
hams exported $18,000,000 worth went
to the United Kingdom, the remaining
$3,000,000 worth being widely distrib
uted. Of the $24,750,000 worth of fresh
beef sent out of the country $24,500,000
worth wont to the United Kingdom.
Ten years ago the value of this class
of exports was $174,000,000, and the
increase for the decade is about 45 per
cent.
