WILD WEST SCOUT
will be One OF the Big Free At
fractions at 0wensbOrO In
September.

The Directors of the State Fair,
which will be held at Owensboro in
September are not only working
hard to secure a successful distri
button of the $4,000 cash prem
iums for live stock, agricultural
and domestic exhibits, but they
have keen eye as well to the
amusement features and are now
engaged in arranging a highly in
teresting programme which will be
announced from time to time, as it
is completed.
The fihst big attraction settled
upon is the famous "Broncho Johns
Wild West Show" 1t will be free
to all who attend the Fair.
As a scout of the plains, "Bron-
cho John" has a place in the his
tory of Indian warfare, and in a
startling realistic manner he and
his band of scouts and Indians
will hold up stage coaches, "bust
wild bronchos" and give a sham
battle between lone scout and a
band of red skins, the scout using
his pony as a breastwork.
There will also be automobile
races, professional and athletic
games, race between an ostrich
and a horse, and score of other
things.

1T MAKES WOOD LAST LONGER.
Seasoning and Preserving, q
New Method Of Forest
Economy.

The rapid disappearance OF the
best American timber has devel-
oped new method of economy,
which is, in brief, that inferior tim
bers shall be pressed into service
and by proper seasoning and pre-
serving be made to take the place
of those more valuable.
The idea is the inevitable out
come of wasteful cutting, long con-
tinued, which has culled the for
ests of their best trees, so that in
dustries requiring high grade
woods at low cost are less and
less able to obtain supplies at a
price which they can afford to pay.
White oak, for example, was for
many years practically the only
wood used for railroad ties. So
abundant and cheap was this tim
Der that it never occurred to the
railroads it would not always con-
tinue to be abundant and cheap.
Ties were laid out without season
ing two days after they had been
hewn, or were left to lie and decay
in bitches Of water before they
were put in the track. But condi-
tions have changed white oak for
ties, fence posts, piles, and other
common purposes can not be used
to the same extentas formerly, and
It's place has largely been taken by
inferior timbers.
This kind of forest economy the
Bureau of Forestry, havingin mind
the increasing demand for good
timbers and the diminishing forest
resources, has persistently urged
and encouraged. By every availa-
bic means it has attempted to find
uses for woods not now regarded as
merchantable and to substitute
them for woods rarer but better
known. The railroads especially,
enormous consumers of wood, have
been impressed with the necessity
for such a substitution. Lodge
pole pine in the Northwest has been
laid with ties during the past year
instead of bull pine. Shortleaf and
loblolly ties will probably soon re-
place those Of longleaf in Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and Texas. Hem
lock and tamarack may take the
place ofoak and pine in other parts
of the country; and when oak is
used at all for ties it will be the in
ferior species instead of the valu-
able white oak.
The substitution of low-grade
| for high grade timbers depends on
what can be done to increase the
lasting powers Of the substitutes
in other words, it depends on tim
Der preservation. Special treat
ment must so prolong the life Of
the inferior timbers, and at cos
so small as to make the investmen
a good one.
The main advantages of season
ing timber are that seasoned tim
Der lasts longer, since the water II
green timber is necessary to tn
life of decay-producing fungi; tha
it greatly increases the effectiveness
of the preservative treatment; ant
that by reducing the weight of tim
Der it causes corresponding saw
ing in freight.
In Europe, all railroad ties
bridge materials, telegraph poles
fence posts, etc, are commonly sea
soned, the time of seasoning vary

II Was His FIRST Trip on the Cars

On June 16, j. E. Sullivan, of
Livingston county, KY, started to
Paducah on an Illinois Central train

When the porter shouted "All off

word and jumped off the platform,
not knowing the train was going
to stop. and was badly hurt. One
arm was broken and his head was

for the miners if they wished to upset
the So per cent. basis Of distribution
agreed upon and was informed that
that was not the intention, but as the
cases called were not provided for in
the agreement it was the belief that the
commission should hear the testimony
Chairman Gray asked DIR. Charles D.
Neill, assistant recorder, to explain the
agreement, which he did.
Chairman Gray said agreements be-
tween the operators and miners could
not be regarded as binding upon the
commission. He expressed the belief
that the miners should have the oppor-
tunity to enlighten the commission up
on the companies figures.
A score of witnesses, miners employ
ed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company, the Pennsylvania
Coal company, the Hillside Coal and
Iron company and the Temple Iron
company, were examined concerning
the wage statements of the corpora
tons. In every case they claimed to
have actually received considerably
less than was credited to them. They
were unanimous in demanding payment
by weight.

ly in the same way as the Fair Haven
& Westville Railroad company is taxed
the thing would work out this way.
The stock of the New Haven Water
company is worth $2,500,O0O at par and
the shares are $50 each. They We're
quoted last Monday morning at $122., At
that time the market value of the prop
erty was $3.50, 900, which would yield a
revenue on the basis of al tax of l per
cent. of S62,500, or almost $4,000 more
than it now pays. 1t would then be
taxed at a less rate than, the individual
is taxed, who under the laws assessed
less than the market value Of his prop
erty and at gretaer. rate than the
steam and electric railroads.
Almost the same situation was said
to exist as between the community and
the New Haven Gas company, which
is taxed on 100000, while the market
value of its stock and bonds is $6,0O0,-
900. The same thing was said to be
true but in a lesser degree Of the Unit
ed Illuminating company The amount
on which this company is taxed is much
nearer the market value of it's stock
than is the case in either of the other
companies.
After the subject had been debated
pro and con it was voted to recommend
this amendment and a committee of
five was chosen to see that the bill Is
introduced in the legislature this week.
The committee appointed is as follows:
Chairman F. L. Horan, L. W. Wilson,
Alderman Trueman, c. A. Rich and S.
Johnson.
Two members of this committee will
go to Hartford this morning and the
bill, it is expected, will be presented to
the house by, New Haven member
either to-day or tomorrow.
The meeting adjourned without trans
acting any other business.

IN WATERBURY,
Continued from First Page.)
PhtrsyD Deputies Arrive.

One feature of the day was the arriv-
al of sheriff's posse of thirty deputies.
most of whom were employed in riding
in pairs on passengerless trolley cars.
The systematic patrol Of the city by
police and militia was much more effec-
tive tonight than before, and when the
hour of midnight arrived it looked as
if the military protection afforded was
adequate. Not the least important fac
tor, perhaps, in the interests of order
was the sincere efforts put forth by the
strikers to keep their friends from the
streets. The day and night records re-
vealed the fact that Waterbury had
been over fearful, and the situation at
the beginning of another day promises
Improvement.
At o'clock tonight action was taken
which is significant of the determine
ton to operate cars at all hazards.
High Sheriff Durham after confer
ence with Colonel Burpee despatched to
the car barns ten of his new deputies.
They were armed and their orders babe
them board the trolley cars and see
that they We're unmolested. The depu-
ties were further instructed to cooper
ate fully with the local police and the
state militia in the preservation of Or
der.
This new step on the part of the au-
thorities did not become widely known
at the time and 1t remained to be seen
what it's effect would be. Colonel Bur
