Outrageous Paper Trust Robber,

The paper trust, by prohibit
DRY tariff on raw material and a
combination of the pulp and paper
mills producing IS per cent of the
annual consumption of news print
in the United States, has at times
advanced prices over loo per cent
by discriminating competition
through monopoly Of over ESQ.,.
600 horse power of available water
power adjacent to over 100000
acres OF spruce timber. And
these increases of price have been
direct burdens on every newspa-
DER in the country. Why should

of no benefit to anybody excep.

Inventor Of the LuCifer Match

1MvClllVl VI tIlG AuCllGl Nu0lOlI
There has been claimants to the
honor of being the maker of the
first lucifer match. But recent
discovery of some old account
books at Stockton-onTees, Eng
land, affords documentary evi.
dence which proves beyond ques-
ion that one John Walker, a Dur
ham chemist, was the original in.
ventor and maker of the match.
According to diary, in which
Walker carefully noted all his
business transactions, the first box
of matches was sold for thirty-6ve
cents in April 1927. 1t appears
that they at once became popu ar
and people travelled from adjacent
towns to purchase them. Walker
employed the poor of Stockton to
split the wood, but dipped them
in the phosphorus mixture him
self to insure their perfection
The inventor was pressed by his
friends to patent the process; be
refused, however, affirming that
he had ample means to satisfy
his simple wants.

Only Ninety-Seven Cases.

The whiskey question was
opened up in Woodbine yesterday
afternoon with a crowbar. An at.
torney for the temperance league
witnessing the arrival of sus-
picious consignment of boxes by
express, got out an information
which was signed by some fifteen
citizens, and search warrant
was issued by Mayor Reed. This
being placed in the hands of City
Marshal Winning he proceeded to
the depot and, being denied ad.
mission to the "receiving vault"
used for keeping such goods in,
he used crowbar with telling eff
feet and succeeded in locating
ninety seven cases supposed to
contain liquor. These we're haul
ed to the city hall and stored, to
await the action of the authori-
ties. AS several days notice has
to be given before trial can be had
the matter now rests with the
"wet goods" In charge of the city
marshall waiting the trial OF the
case. We feel sure the city otfic-
ers will conduct the case in strict
accordance with law, and if the
stuff is found to be contraband
there will doubtless be quite an
overflow of red liquor in this
vicinity in the near future. The
temperance people would rejoice
to see a stop put to the excessive
use ofliquor by way of the express
route. Woodbine Chronicle.

"This is the festive time of

when every mortal man gets out
and tries to clean the yard. He
rakes the cans and rubbish up,

sets the mess on fire. The smoke

floats on the evening breeze and
you'd swear your neighbor had

Mr.. Edward Dodson, an English
explorer, has recently returned
from a prolonged sojourn in the
great desert OF Trlpoli, Northern
Africa. This portion of the coun-
try has never been thoroughly ex-
plored, and indeed has not been
visited by Europeans for over
fifty years, 30 MIR Dodson's results
are of inestimaple value. One of
the greatest achievements of the
expedition was the exploration of
the great petrifi ID forest at Muir
zuk. Throughout the whole area
which extended for several miles
pstriied trees were found, vary
j e in circumference from Z feet
to few inches. Every branch Of
this forest was of course lying
prone, and this together with the
presence of marine shells showed
that this part of the Great Sahara
had at one time been submerged
On one occasion the party passed
