Improving Court House.

The Owingsville Messenger says;
The Fiscal Court appropriated &c.
'1Qe0 for the purpose of remodeling
= the Court House. The plan is TO
build a tower from the ground in
the face of the main hall, taking
out the full front of the main
building of the Court HonsA, the
tower to be 92 feet high. with
handsome belfry and fine town
clock. This improvement, al
Mough needful, was not an origi-
nal idea with the Court, but was
ordered to be done in a rule which
issued from the Circuit Court. 1t
is all to be completed by next Oc-
tober.

New England Forestry Manual.

A manual of forestry, written
especially for the farmers and 9TH
err land owners of southern New
England, will be published in
few weeks by the Bureau of For
estry. 1t is to be called "The
Woodlot," and it will tell so sim
ply and clearly how to treat the
forest land of the three States with
.= !::s!; Is desis-Gonneticut, Mas
sachusetts, and Rhode Island-that
even the landowner with no knowl-
edge of forestry will be able 10
learn from it enough to improve his
timber.
The Bureau of Forestry for
several years has given personal
assistance in the field to timber
land owners who wished to manage
their forests conservatieely. Agen s
of the Bureau have made plans for
the management of mvuy thou
sauds of acres, a good part OF
which was in the Southern New
England States. "The Woodlot"
is a result of these field studies of
Southern New England timber
lands. The various kinds of forest
growth in Massachusetts, Connec-
ticut, and Rhode sland have been
reduced to few simple types, so
clearly described that an owner
who knows the names of his trees
ppp the conditions under which
they are growing, will be able cas-
lily to place his timber lot under
one of the types described For
each type of forest plan of man
agement is prescribed, illustrated
by diagrams

Prof. Henry S. Grvves, Director of
the Yale Forest School, and r. L.

besides which there were certain
small dues which had to be paid to

FACTS and OBSERVATIONS
AT WINCHESTER.

Is. w. IrlmDle went over SUNDAY
morning to spend some days with
her, and the writer went in after
noon for facts and observations,
social pleasure and to attend coun-
ty court. We got the following
facts from various sources.
The City Council granted to the
electric aud telephone companies
pernissiOu ~ ouV uiio limos OF o.eos
where same were liable to interfere
with the wires along various streets
Council Martin was appointed TO
see that the work was properly
done.
Mr.. j. w. Poynter was not
pleased with such interference with
private property and brought the
matter before Judge Benton. Poyn-
ter was represented by B r. Jouett.
of Winchester, Sam Wilson and
Jere Morton, of Lexington; the
companies by Judge Beckner and
D. L. Pendleton. Judge Benton
has not rendered his decision, but
we think that such privilege
granted to the companies would be
a dangerous one. If such cutting
is begun, where will it stop? The
decision Of ONE councilman might
be Objectionable to many property
owners.
The franchise granted to the in
terurban electric road ID months
ago expires this week, having al
ready been extended 60 days. The
profile filed with the Judge falls
short of what is required by the
franchise, as the managers do not
profess to know where the road will
be located along the pike or through
the farms.
One prominent citizen thinks the
company does not expect to build
the road.

STOCKMEN PLAN
PACKING HOUSES

Denver. July 31.-Arrangements for
ton which will establish independent
packing houses in the leading live
stock centers of the West were COM
pleted at meeting of leading stock
City on Monday and Tuesday of this
week. Charles f. Martin, secretary of
the National Live Stock Association,
and one of the promoters OF the COM
pany, returned from Kansas City
Wednesday. He announced that the
plans for launching the gigantic enter
prise had been outlined at the meet
ing and that the project was an as
sured success.
Another meeting is to be held in
Kansas City on September 1st when
the company will be incorporated and
the stock books opened for subscrip-
tions. Already pledges have been Sc
| cured for a large amount of stock and
active work on the construction of one
or more of the plants will be started
Immediately after the September meet
ing.
I'VE have enlisted the leading stock
men of the country in the new ven
ture," said Mr. Martin, "and will have
all of the money needed to launch the
enterprise quickly and in a thoroughly
| capable manner. We have several
propositions from various towns along
the river concerning the establishment
of plants. The best is a bonus of $780,
600 and 600 acres of land worth $500 an
acre. Nothing will be done about the
location until the September meeting.
and we may then decide to build more
than one plant. We think independ-
ent packing houses will benefit the
stockmen throughout the entire coun-
try and will make money for the men
who are interested in them as well.
Our principal object is to establish a
| competitive market and thus increase
the prices which are paid cattlemen
for their stock"

Denver. July 31.-A Republican spe-
cial from Idaho Springs last night
says:
H. L. Gregory. member of the
Georgetown Miners Union. who is al
legged to have made threats to blow up
the dam of the company that fur
nished electrical power for the Sun
and Moon mine. was arrested last
night He was in possession of corre-
spondence from Chandler. the financial
secretary of the Idaho Springs union.
in which the latter is alleged to have
said that the union could easily bring
about the suspension of work at the
Sun and Moon by destroying the pow
er plant.
Other evidence tending to show that
the union leaders were cognizant of the
dynamite plots has been developed.
The coroner's inquest discovered that
Philip Fire was not shot by the mine
watchman. but was probably killed by
a piece of the dynamite that he and
his accomplioes exploded.
