A DEPLORABLE LOSS
DEAD CATTLE BETWEEN GIB-
BON AND BINGHAM.
Conservative Estimate That $50 Head
Lie in Canyons and Draws
and More Loss to Follow.

lHJohn Thompson, the stockman, who
returned from the foothill range south
east of town yesterday, tells of the ter
rible condition in which the stock cattle
are at the present time. Mr.. Thompson
estimates that the number of dead cattle
lying in the draws and canyons from
Gibbon up to Bingham Springs is $50
head, and says this is but starter in
the loss that is yet to Gomez
Driven out of the snowtovered hills
by starvation, in the sleet and cold rains,
the skeletonized brutes shambled their
way into the canyons and draws, only to
lie down and die. Too weak to again
climb to the hillsides where the SHOWS
have now disappeared and small blades
of grass is sparsely shooting up, hum
dreds of others must succumb to starva-
ton. A few stockmen, who are FORUM
ate to have feed shipped in, find it
difficult to get some of the stock that is
in an advanced stage of starvation and
weakness to eat it. Other stockmen
have no means of procuring feed, their
stock being left on the barren hillsides
to shift for themselves, and from this
source, in the next few days the loss
will be greatly augmented.
Mr.. Thompson but confirms reports
from other sources in the foothill range,
and before grass gets fairly started, the
greatest stock losses this county has
sustained for years will be chronicled.

Peoples Warehouse Fire.

The stock of the Peoples Warehouse,
a Pendleton store, was badly damaged
by fire and waterat 1890 yesterday.
The fire started in the attic overhead,
which was being converted by workmen
into s'orage room, presumably by a
candle, which was left burning while
the workmen were at lunch. The
damage has not yet been estimated.
There was about 100000 worth of stock,
large portion of which is damaged by
smoke and water. Insurance, S45,0O0.

Young Woman Suicides.

Miss Fife Coa5ney, daughter of George Coatney, who formerly lived out west of Green Forest, committed suicide at Eureka Springs Friday of last week. Her remains were conveyed here by Saturday mornings train and interment was made at the Snow grave yard Saturday aftern oon.
 The following account of the affair appeared in the Daily Times Echo of Friday:
 Miss Fife Coatney, a girl seventeen years of age, commit ted suicide some time last night by taking sixteen grains of mor- phine. She was employed as a dining room girl at the Grand Central Hotel, and died in the annex portion of the building. It seems that watch and some money had been missed there, and suspicion had pointed to the girl, who being of sensitive na- ture, concluded she would rat her die than bear the disgrace of such suspicion.
 Tine previous day she had gone to her father with the trouble, and expressed her innocence and grief, and he advised her to re- turn to work, and pay no further attention to the matter. It seems that she got the morphine at one of the drug stores on the repre- sentatiOn that she was securing it for another party. The Coro- nor's Jury gave verdict of death by. suicilo. Sae left letters in- structing her friends of her de- sire about burial. '

being the anniversary of the discovery of America by Colum- bus.
 Rev. Spurlin conducted the opening exercises again last Monday. These Bible readings and earnest talks by our minis ters will do much in moulding the character of some of our boys and girls.
 The crowning event of this week was the eloq uent, elevat- ing, inspiring address of Prof. Rartzog, president of our State University. Few times in life may our pupils hope to hear such an able and distinguished man. We were glad to see many teach CTS and pupils taking notes of the beautiful gems of thought drop ped by this earnest speaker.
 Below we give some of the thought we remembered from Prof. Hartzog's address. We wish each and every pupil would memorize these thoughts and make them a part of himself. Mr. Hartzhog said; "Education is organized opportunity and went on to show us the practical value of an education by com- pairing the earnings of educated and uneducated labor, and that tue earnings of labor of any com munity is always in proportion to the length of the school term of that community. He also en- phasized the fact that school is the best place on earth for boys and girls during the period of formation of character. Because of the company they are in, not only the company of teachers with minds trained more than their own, but by visiting the library they may have the company of great minds like Milton, Shakes peare, and Emerson.
 There was a time when the ideals of education were far dlf- ferent; an educated man is one whose mind is well trained. But education is not training of the mind alone; the physical and spiritual being must be trained to bring out the best in man s life. Greece and Rome would not have fallen had her women en- ioyed proper educational advan . taoes. Man alone cannot fight life's battles. Education, today. is for all.
 Students of the 20th centuryare real, self-made men, for only the virtures coupled with stick ibility" conquers life's problems
 His closing thought fell like balm into the hearts of the listen ing students as he bade them be educated. Make their lives a life of contemplation, a life of conse- crati0n.

Remember, however, that to be- come a successful operator one must thoroughly understand Book keeping, and Commercial Arithmetic, and must be a good speller and rapid penman as well as possess the ability to write business letters in good form. Here is where our Business Course will be of great assistance as you can take work in that Course at the same time you are learning TeIegraphy.
 Telegraphy will be charged for at the rate of S3 extra per term, which makes a very low rate for the combined Course of instruc tion.

 Students should consider the demand on the purse when se- lecting school. Too heavy expenditures are not oHlN Waste ful but actually hinder 0a1 work of the student. Expenses can be made as light at Green Forest as anywhere in the land. Books can be bought here at publisher s price, so buy nothing in that line until you get here. Bring all your old text books and they will help you save expenses. Plain clothes and simple living are best for effective work and we want none but workers. High living and much spending money are a disadvantage to the student and to the school and we earnestly urge parents to keep their sons and daughters up to the working point by preventing useless ex- penses. The Literary Societies and Lecture Course together with the public recitals given by the Music and Elocution classes will afford all the amusement neceS- sary. Thirty dollars per term should be enough to maintain a student in the regular work ot the school and many will make a good record on less.

CROP IS SHORT THIS SEASON
'. B. Reeves Cannery Will Pack
 S5,00O Cans of Tomatoes.

S0,000 Cans of Tomatoes.
 J. B. Reeves cannery has put up so far this season about 65,- 900 cans of tomatoes, besides some other fruits, and Mr. Reeves thinks he will reach 1000 cans of tomatoes before the season finally closes.
 The plant was started up un- usually late this year not having turned a wheel until the 2nd of September. However, it went right down to business when it did start and last Monday was the first day lost since work be- gan. It has averaged daily output of from $500 to 4,000, which shows excellent manage ment of the business.
 This has been a poor season for the production of tomatoes, the latter part of it having been so dry as to cut the crop almost in half. The quality has been good, however, and Mr. Reeves says he will improve this season on the already we'll established reputation of the goods he manu- fac lures.
 The worst feature is the fact that the demand for the new tomatoes is very poor, being onl y 70 cents per case of one dozen cans, against 90 cents last year and the year before. The empty cans, includ ing freight and labels, has cost this year ab out 30 cents per case, almost as much as Is realized for the cGntents.
 The run this year has been moro than half from the crop grown upon Mr, Reeves place, he hay ing produced about thirty acres himself, consequently he would have come out i'll good shape had not conditions been somewhat against him. As it is. he will not be able to count that he has made much money this season.
 Mir. Reeves has been handi- capped from the start with heavy interests and extra expenses all along on account of the fact that the operation of such a plant re- quires more capital than a man of ordinary means can command, and his experience in the tomato canning business has, under the circumstances, proven 9 tomato cannery a great success. Had he been able to handle the busi- = ~aess of buying supplies and marketing as good business judgernent on such matters would dictate, Ne could have realized thousands\ of dollars out of his past two years work.
 In spite df all the adversities, he has been able to hold the thing together and has made good money fout of it, if the big end of it did go to the oth7r fellow.
 Mr. Reeves experience in tomato production has proven beyond question that the com mercial fertilizer is indispensable on old land. It is not expensive, considering the benefit derived, and the use of it is very simple. The producing capacity of old land can be more than doubled by it's use in tne crop as it Is planted and the land receives d permanent benefit from it,
 THE TRIBUNE believes that tomato growing is a subject that farmers can we'll afford to give some attention. We now have two canneries in this section. The plant at Yocum has canned more tomatoes this season than has Mr. Reeves, having gotten to work earlier, and so far as We have been able to learn the re- ; suIts have been very satisfactory, , both to the stockholders of the , plant and the producers of the tomato eS.
