CALLS 1T TREE MURDER.

A Vigorous Protest Against the Reck-
less Destruction of Stately Pines.
Life in the pine forests of the great
Northwest is always full of interest.
The big lumber camps comprise hun
dreds of men and, every year, these
hewers of wood and sawyers of logs cut
down the timber on thousands of acres
of land in order to supply the markets
with lumber. The editor of the To-
ronto, Can, Onward speaks of this work
as tree murder" and describes the
"murderous operation as follows: 1.-THE
stately trunks rise like a pillared COL
onnade, each fit to be the mast of some
high admiral The pine needles make
an elastic carpet underfoot, and the
bright sunlight streams down through
the openings of the forest, necking the
ground with patches of gold. The stall
wart axemen select each his antagonist
in this life-and-death duel with the an
cient manarchs of the forest. The
scanty brushwood is cleared. The axes
CLEAN brightly in the air. The meas
ured strokes fall thick and fast, awak-
ing strange echoes in the dsm and dis
tant forest aisles. The white chips fly
through the air, and CHASTITY wounds
cape in the trunks of the ancient pines.
Now a venerable forest chief shivers
through all his branches, sways a mo-
ment in uncertainty like blind Ajax
fighting with his unseen foe, then, with
a shuddering groan, totters and reels
crashing down, shaking the earth and
air in his fall. AS he lies there, a pros
trate giant that wrestled with the
storms of a hundred winters, felled by
the hand of man in a single hour, the
act seems a sort of tree murder

A FEW FACTS!

We wish to state few facts, for the con-
sidePation Of the general public, and ask care
ful perusal and consideration of the same. We
believe the people want to sustain and keep up
good newspaper in TeXarkana.
Now for the facts as to the "Texarkanian:"
1t has by far the most complete printing
outfit the city ever had-nVeStment is more
than double that Of any other plant in the city,
With bran new body type and latest styles OF
new job and advertising display type, best
presses run by little gem Of a gas engine, no
city Of Texarkana'S s size in the South can show
better equipped office, nor turn out neater pa
per, or more stylish job work. at lowest prices.
1t employs, and pays cash, for more labor
than any other office in the city. Five or six
families derive a support or revenue from its
income. Its monthly expense account most Of
which stays in TeXarkana foOts up from $500
to $3.50 per month. 1t is a live, progressive
newspaper, outspOken for right. Democratic
to the core, reserves the privilege OF censur-
ing wrong inits own party as well as out OF it.
1t gives daily nearly double as much inter-
esting reading matter as any other paper in the
city, and is by far the neatest paper ever gotten
out here---so dozens Of citizens have told us.
Its job department is the best equipped in
Southwest Arkansas or Northeast Texas. ANY
and all classes Of job printing done TO order,
equal to st. Louis, ana prices in competition
with the world. Satisfaction guaranteed in eV-
cry instance. Bring us your job work.
CONCLUSIONS.
Now for conclusions: Having invested our
money and given our entire time TO the upbuild-
ing Of such paper, and constantly laboring for
the best interests Of TeXarkana, can we not rea-
sonaby ask for an increased public patronage?
That many who should do so, do not advertise
advertise nor give us their job work is painful
fact. Now, try us and see If you wont get 'val-
ue received" in every instance.

tests for seats in the House of Rep

inviting field for them Accordingly
the policy Of the party will be to
foster whatever teudeudy exists in
the South to cut away from the
old Democratic alliances, TO this
end liberal appropriations for that
section will be made by the next
Republican House and a policy OF
conciliation will be Systematically
pursued. There viii be nomenance
