Buffalo "ceve or Cave"

l would like, II allowable, to add |
littlc to J. N. MS letter of last
week and explain away a few GRO
aeous impressions that it would
naturally leave upon the minds of
hose who had never visited Buffalo
owe, although l am sure that the
writer had NO intention of mislead-
ing. In the first place the name il
really Buffalo Cove, and although
you vent there to see y cave YOU
did not look down into it from the
top ofthc cliff;and although u "cove"
does mean "salt water inlet" it
also means q sheltered place" ana
our deep indentations among the
mountains from being so sheltered
by mountain sides and precipiceS
take the name of "coyes." Who left
the name here if the earliest settlers
found and adopted it," No, do no,
bear the mistaken idea that Buffalo
Cove should be Buffalo Cave" for
there are dozen or two caves in
there. Pardon me, J. N. NJ, if ] add
@ little to your description of the
cove. Did YOU see at your left that
cli8 looking with its four hundred
feet of frowning face down into tn,
valley beneath, with its fertile graf,
folds and forest giants? Did YOU
trace by the darker growth of trees
The stream that flows through this
beautiful valley ? Did yon stand on
the detached jut of rock and look
down, down, hundreds Of feet into
the cove until you inyoluntarily
chung Tor support to the stunted
pine that forced its roots among the
creyices of the rock? Did you look
far ahead at The range Of mountains
rising blue and misty in the distance
and note that the ferthest point wa,
in Kentucky? am sure that you
must have noticed many things tha
| missed i'll reading your letter.
Another thing; can you, after be
ing III that cave into which you slit
feet foremost, seriously think for i
moment that it could be the worl
Of mans weak hand? If man did i
what did he do with the earth ? JUS
think what tremendous pile mus
have come out OF it il it WAS du,
out. No, | am sure tn It no ,ne coulc
seriously believe that those mile,
and miles Of tunneling, those rockt
tossed IN majestic grandeur, thos,
deep gorses and chasms, could hay,
been aught but the work of thu
Infinite Hand. Tie troughs Of water
near the entrance, and, in fact
wherever they are found in the cave
were placed there by salt petre ga
,herers N 1928 when they were
gathering salt petre to makepowdes
for cur war of that date.
These mountains are perforated
by caves. | have many staiActiteF
and stalagmites from different ones
As for the road that YOU passed
! over, if ,oa went by way Of the
Brewster Ford perhaps you had
better warn the Rugby road hands
If you went by way OF the Hull Ford
no amount of working can MAKE
that fit for travel. You must moi
expect Boston and London pave
ments on mountain roads.

This has been popularity called tbs

0i manufactured lumber Of tho present
day. and the inevitable future impov-
elshmens Of the sources Of supply, the
age may De more fity termed the age
Of wood, Metal manufacturers there
will always be rs long As there is human
attensth 20 wrest the ore from the
bowels Of the earth, but i. in a fact,
made evident from careful computation,
that each successive year SO diminShes
the extent of forests in this country
| .,ni C.usts that the time must come
when the scarcity Of timber, particu-
larly pine, will 30 increase its market
value that it will be stricken from the
list IT economical building materials
Tnis period may be farther iii thu future
THAN has been predicted, hut it is safe
to SAY that in the next century gra-
dual revolution in building will be
commenced by the enforced Use Of
metals where wood has been used in
construction. At the recent convention
Of the AMERICAN engineers, u paper Mas
read containing very carefully complied
statistics, proving the necessity Of more
'onony being uaed in tive manufacture
and use Of lumber products. The author
concluded thai the supply Of whit,
pine il the United States, and probably
in Canada, at the present rats Of con.
sumption, WIS almost certain to be OK,
hnusted by the end Of the present cen
fury. Of yellow pine, spruce and hem
lock, the forests Of the South would
yield a supply for 100 years, at the
present rate of consumption. East Of
The Mississippi there iSprobably twenty
five years supply of hard wood. Thr
supply Of black walnu, and ash is being
rapidly exhausted. 1t may be that these
theoretical limits may be greatly ex-
tended i'll reality, as the country is large
and the possibilities Of the growth Of
new timber very great, if Immigration
to this country and natural increase in
population do not make such demand
upon the forest territory that the mex
generation of timber will be insignificant
in amount and value.
When the lumber supply is at an end
30 far as concerns building operations,
entirely new features Of architecture
will be developed. Buildings will h
erected that will stand as long as brick,
stone and metal will endure, and tn.
comparative cost being greater, a highc,
order Of architectural talent will be en-.
couraged to suit the universal demani
fer structures of permanenco aud
beauty. Then will truly begin the az,
If metal and Architectural perfection.

noon, which they agreed to decide

Of Screamsbury rules. Accompan-
led by their seconds, referee, time
keeper, bottle-holder, etc, and fol-
lowed by an admiring crowd, they
proceeded to the battle ground near
the cemetery, where a ring was
formed and the principals stripped
to the buff. Eleven rounds were
fought in ten minutes, when the
bottle-holder leaving, Johnny Bar
raft decided the fight draw, and
the entire party adjourned to town
to hunt up the delinquent bottle
holder, who had decampe1 with the
lush.
In Carson no bottle holder would
think of acting in that way.

Another Sadier Suit
The Eureka Sentinel saws:

At the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners held Mon
day evening, a bill Of R. Sadler for
$26 %, heretofore allowed by the
Commissioners but returned with
the Auditors veto, came up, and
the veto was by them sustained.
Two other bills of Mr.. Sadler,in the
amounts of ST. % and 81 %, re-
spectively, were presented to the
Board and rejected by an unani-
nous vote. The reason for the
veto and rejection of the above
bills is that Mr.. Sadler is alleged to
be indebted to the county in the
sum of $3.50 with interest. for
which there is suit now pending.
and the amounts Of said bills were
deducted from the said indebted
ness. 1t is probable the matter
will develop Tito another law
suit.

Wards Financial Tricks

New York, Sept. 11.--The eyi-
dence pow comes out in the civil
suit against Ferdinand Ward fur
| ther reveals the character Of the
man aud his transactions He tes-
titled yesterday how he turned over
to Warner a large amount Of prop
erty controlled by HIM, and how
certain obligations came to be In
Warmers possession. The nominal
consideration for the transfer was
$605,000. The obligations surren-
dered grew out Of alleged contracts
given by Ward, by the so-called
profits on Investments. The fol-
lowing testimony was given:
Were the sums you paid on
these contracts, sums which were
actually earned?"
They were not" said Ward,
calmly.
Now, can you refer to a single
instance in which you or Grant &
Ward earned profits on these tran
sactlons?"
"No, sir"
WELL" said Gen. Hubbard,
Jrou;nr 1o,r brootb "XUhot ,roc
this money that you paid to Warner,
if it were not profts?"
The courtroom was breathless,
and Ward S voice sank to a whisper:
at was money received from other
parties" he said.
The Times asks: Is this better
or worse than the sawdust game for
which Tom Davis was recently shot
dead by Texan Holland.

The Ohio Cyclone.

! WASHINGTON COURT House
Ohio, Sept. 1.-THE cyclone which
came upon this town last evening
at 5 clock, almost completely de-
molished it. Not single store
facing Central Square, out of forty,
is left intact, and the majority of
them are leyeled. About two hun
dred residences are destroyed, and
the streets are filled with debris, so
that it is almost impossible to pass.
Sheriff Rankin ordered out the
militia, which took charge and
helped to get order out of chaos.
All the gas went out when the
storm came, and as the works were
destroyed, bonfres had to be built
in the streets to give light for the
searchers. The total known to be
dead is five, and about fifty injured.
One Of the latter of these was the
manager of the Telephone Ex-
change, who was hurled across the
street and had one arm and one leg
and his collar bone broken. Some
houses were lifted bodily and car
ried several hundred feet, and then
dashed to the ground with terrific
force. The shattered fragments
were then hurled, in some in
stances, a quarter of a mile. The
Relief Committee is at work, and
all the houses not destroyed are
thrown open to the homeless. The
farmers are coming in by dozens,
bringing food and bedding. Every
hotel, bank, church and business
house in town is ruined. The ut
most desolation prevails. The peo-
pile coming in report the finding of |
debris ten miles from town. Mollie |
Jones, Edith Floyd, Ella Forsyica,
Jennie Forsyica and Flora Carr
were killed. Herbert Taggart,
James Jackson, and John G. Van
pelt are supposed to be fatally |
wounded. Fully 600 persons are
hurt, too many to make it practic-
able to give the names. The loss |
will exceed $l,OOO,OOO. The Coun-
ell has appointed Relief Commit
tees and the militia are guarding
.he stores whose contents are still
exposed.
