To your left for the en. tire distance lies the Tonana River. At places It approaches the road at one place it plunges over tre mendous rocks forming rapids. At other places it twists and curves serpent-like away from the road. Sometimes you are above it look ing ' into it at other times you UaA. ut won uie mighty 'Alaska Range of mountains. The road runs between this range and the Tonono. At places the mountains in this 48 mile rise to about ,000 feet in height 'and in no place are they as low as the famed Mt Mitchell. Their srtat- est height is to our west at Mt McKlnley. where they rise above 30,000 feet, At the foot of the moun tains are spruce, burch, alder and cottonwood growths, and in a few 1 places there are lowlands of "nig. riverlets leading to the lowlands. These go Into the Tonono sad thence into the Yukon and on to the- Berring Sea. These streams are rapid during the early summer and dry during- the late summer, for .they tall abrubtly and dump water iuwivina glaciers, as well as occasional rain from the sides of the mountains. Some .of these streams formed are named Bear Creek, Chief Creek, Robinson River, Cathedral Creek, Yerrick Creek, etc. Where Cathedral Creek dumps jnto the Tonono are odd for mations of mountains called Ca thedral Bluffs, The mountails form f!TJ ,.-?e!t ? clumP? 01 hu ampitheatre suitable for the grass growing about a foot above the water) on top of the mountains mere art no growths what soever: Although sheep and ; great bear control them as soverign.

Boswel Supervisor of Sates When Tuesday, August 17th, comes around the Wilson Tobacco Market will begin its sixty-fifth : year as an auction tobacco market , The Market was established ' in 1890 with one set of buyers, selling that first year about one and one half million pounds of tobacco. The Market has shown a , steady growth through the many years of opera tion until it reached an all-time high of ninety-three million pounds sold ti 1951, and reaching a world-wide record of money paid out in 1953, when the Market . passed through its pay-off windows $52,842,458.92, an amount that no other tobacco market has been able to reach; The average of $57.47 recorded on the Wilson Tobacco Market in 1953 was exceeded ' by several other markets in the Eastern Belt, but this was due to the fact that Wilson sold tobacco from such a wide area. For instance,' Wilson sold tobacco from .fifty -seven of North. Carol-- tobacco keep all curings separate, see so little of man's work and so much of the superfluorous handi work of God. While I write this I gaze outside at a sunrise beyond comparison. The time is 1:50 a. m. and the clouds are colored like some tremendous blanket of gold only nstreaks that are ever changing. They re mind me of a sunset as seen from Waves (Dore County) as we gaze across the sound toward the main land of North Carolina. Sincerely 3,109 Speedsters Caught In July RALEIGH The Motor Vehicles Department reported today 3,109 arrests for speeding on North Caro lina highways last month. Speeding, reckless driving and driving without an operator's per mit normally lead the department's regulr monthly summary of mov ing traffic violations. No operator's permit with 965 ar rests was in second place and reck less driving with 599 in third. None of the offenses require re vocation of driving prixilege s on the first count. Other violations reported for Ju ly included: failing to stop for a stop sign 655; faultj equipment 643; improper passing 368; improper lights 289; driving on wrong side of road 291; and fo' swing too close ly 183. The total numb r of Tar Hee! offenders came to 7,497 for the ""nth Out-of-Staters added another 1.977 to the list. WELCOME Olsa & Gavin ooooo6o 6 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o ina's seventy-five flue-cured grow ing counties and from four states. Therefore, you can understand why the average of Wilson could easily be. under those markets that sell from a small area. The five belts selling tobacco in 1953 had aver ages ranging from $41.99 to $57.10, yet Wilson, after selling tobacco from all areas, completed the sea son with an average of $57.47, The Market will operate the 1954 season with five sets of buyers, selling five and one-half hours per day per set of buyers. Rate of sale will be four hundred baskets per hour per set of buyers, which will give the Market a total of twenty- seven and one-half hours per day or eleven thousand baskets on each sales day. Each firm will get a sale every day. There are nineteen warehouses on the Market, of which only fourteen will sell tobacco. The other five will be used by the buy ing companies for receiving rooms or storage of green tobacco. There will be nine buying com panies represented on each of the five sales, making a total of forty five buyers representing all major manufacturers as well as all the export trade. To name them; there will be American Suppliers, Inc., Liggett & Meyers Tobacco Compa ny, Jas. I. Miller Tobacco Compa ny, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com pany, Standard Redryers, Inc., Wilson Tobacco Company. R. P. Watson Company, Export Leaf To bacco Company, and Imperial To bacco Company, Ltd. What looked like an almost com plete failure thk-tj days ago has developed into what could be the second best tobacco crop produced in this area for the past several """" 'ru onnage is expected to come close to the 1953 season, and as in the past Wilson is expecting and hoping to exceed tbl953 record The price trend seems to be about like last season, with the common and medium grades selling well above the support levels, and the better or top grades selling from $1.00 to $5.00 above support levels. Just a suggestion that will enable you to save time In grading your and in sorting, or grading pick out green, red, black, or lead leaves. Make separate grades of these; then make into hands: or bundles about the size of a fifty cent piece. Try to make all grades of your tobacco at large as possible, and when pack ing on baskets for sale get each basket as near the maximum weight of three hundred pounds as possi ble. Please remove all strings in grading your tobacco. They : can easily Jam the processing machines. I am told by many foreign repre sentatives of the tobacco industry TCAUSESPOUO? that I the foreign traae is compaio- lng about our tobacco being mixed. It poslble, . let's try to ' correct as much of this aa possible. We must protect our export trade in order to have a well-rounded tobacco pro gram.
