Along Gordon street, where all-the boatmen were, wary and careful while the water was at its helght, there are great sand banks along each side. The sand 1s not level, but fs in great waves and plles and banks. There are tons and tons of it. And the water is slowly sweeping out and leaving it there, an immense waste, unproductive and barren.

This was the end of the coal case which attracted much t- tention last winter,: when the operators were indicted. The indictments were quashed and action later was begun by District - Attorney Bethea in the Un'ted States court. ‘The settlement of the case was agreed upop &t & confarence in the judge's cham- bers. The operators had been bound by a temporary injunction since March 19 last. The. order of Judge Kohlsaat sets forth that the defendants entered into a contract to fix prices and to sell through one dis- tributing agency, as the operators them- selves admitted. The court finds that the detendants had eeased to operate under this agreement prior to the filing of the gov- ernmént's bill. Then; declaring that it s not the desire of the defendants to carry out the contract in the future, the court or- ders .that & perpetual injunction issue against the continuance of the agreement.
