Asheville Letter 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 the Hoosier state. 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. Transylvania county, which con venes Monday, April 8 (next). Judge Chas. M.
