Greenwood votes this week whether
or not they will pave the streets Of
that growing and enterprising little
city. That is really the only true
solution Of the good roads question in
any town, and IL more Of our Missis-
sippi towns would solve this problem
for their own municipalities, and the
farmers could be shown how nice it is
to drive over a decent patch of street,
probably the inspiration would spread
into the country and ultimately solve
that vexed question which has COST
the taxpayers 80 much and nerted
them so little for the past fifty years.

of new enterprises being fostered, or

development Of the section in which
they are located. Charters innumera-

territorial fair that would at tract attention anywhere.
 The prevailing idea in the ex- hlblt IS to show that Arizona pine can be finished in such a . manner as to so closely initiate the more costly woods that it takes an expert to distinguish the difference, With this idea III view, specimens Of pine have been finished in the various popular wood finishes, and the beautiful markings of the pine make d handsome showing
 Among the display are a num- Der of boards 24 to 30 inches m width and in various lengths, in clear pine.
 The large variety of mouldings manufactured by this firm will be attractively shown by mount ing a short section of finished material on black boards, these to be placed on an easel.
 Sections of pine logs will be on exhibition. An ordinary saw log would be sent but 1t would be hard to handle. A table made in mission style shows what can be done III manufactured furni- ture.
 The space secured for the ex- hibit at the fair is 2Ox3O feet, and it will be fully utilized by the exhibit. A number of pine trees will be used for decoration.
 Another feature of the exhibit will be display of turned arti- cles embracing everything from a watch case up to a porch post. -Coconino Sun.

 Ask the man who receives ten thousand dollars a year salary how he managed to obtain 1t, and he will tell you he simply did his work as well at he could. Never did such man go on d strike. The most successful strike IS a defeat; and had the man been a striker by nature, sudden and quick in quarrel, and jeal- ous of his rights, things would have conspired to keep him down and under. l do not care how clever he may be, pr how well educated, his salary would have been eighteen a week at the far thest, with a very tenuohs hold upon his job.

FINAL REPORT MADE
 ON THE TEXAS CROP

Dallas, Tex, October 31.-The Calves ton-Dallas News final report for the sea- son on the cotton crop of Texas and h. dian and Oklahoma territories, which will be published tomorrow. is based on re- plies from 527 correspondents dated Octo- Der 26 and indicates total production for Texas of 2,316,126 bales; Indian territory, 26S,S97; Oklahoma, 256,4S7
 In Texas 76 per cent of the crop has been gathered; Indian territory, 57; Okla homa, 50.
 As rule it is reported that there was no prospect for top crop. In the south- ern half of the state, save in a few local. ities stock has been turned in the fields. The opening of the late cotton and top crop in Northern Texas and tn eterritor- les, depends upon postponement of kill- ing frosts in the regions where 1t has no.i already formed, until the middle of No- vember.
 Almost uniformly it is reported that the farmers have sold their cotton as last 1t was picked and ginned, and but little disposition has been shown to hold it except when the price fell below 10 cents. Labor is in ample supply except in the western parts of Texas and Okla homa.

Orders for freiuht Cars.

Back in 1902 the railroads of this country ordered 195,000 cars, but that record has been exceeded this year. When the New York Central placed last week an order for 25000 cars the aggregate of the year was carried to 225,000 cars. This new record in rail road equipment has never been ap- preached except in 1902, and that years orders were 30,000 cars behind this years total.
 To move this additional equipment locomotives are being built at fast pace. Every locomotive building com pany is fully employed and the effort to satisfy railroad managers goes on alike in such works as well as in the carbuilding plants.
 The order of the New York Central for 5000 cars Is said to be the largest single order ever placed. Not long ago the Pennsylvania railroad ordered 21.00O cars. and the New York Central goes it 4000 cars better. The cars con tracted for, to be used on the New York Central are to be delivered from month to month all through the year 1906. The big order was distributed among fva rar-huildinp cOmnanies all located in Pittsburg or at points west of that city. Nearly all of the cars ordered by the New York Central are to be wooden cars of the gondola or box forms.
 The increasing demand for trans portation facilities shows how pros porous Is the country, and it also shows how rapidly it Is growing. De spite the car orders there Is a chronic shortage, and today no railroad can keep fully abreast of the business offered Shippers and the railroads are thus alike injured. One thing Is sure-where railroad managers order in a single year 225,000 freight cars the outlook of prosperity is promising. The country is full of business, and the railroad managers evidently think it will continue to be in that happy condition.

PROTEST AGAINST
 ESCH>TOwNSEND BILL

Louisville, Ky. October 31.-Operators and mine owners of practically every coal mine in Kentucky will meet in this city November IS to take action on the Esch-Townsend bill, which> will again be considered by Congress at its coming session. The object of the meeting which was called by Hywell Davies of Knox ville, Tenn, will be to appeal to Presi- dent Roosevelt and the interstate com merce commission of Congress declaring against the measure. A similar meeting will be held in Knoxville on the day fol- lowing the meeting in this city, when a like petition will be signed by Tennessee operators. Under the present adjustment of rates, Kentucky and Tennessee mines compete successfully with Indiana, Ala bama and West Virginia coal fields. Their owners say that the passage of the Esch- Townsend bill will restrict their market to Kentucky and Tennessee.
