TURNED AWAY.
Several Families and Mauufaetur;,o Enterprises Want to Locate Here
 But Can't Get Homes. ke.

The need of an active Busines, League has been very greatly demon strated upon several occasions the aas, week, and every week, more or less l TOT several years. NIT. James I. flaw k the real estate man, has had some correspondence with several parties seeking to locate factories of different kinds here, but owing to the fact that he IS in the selling business, whatever ne may say to prospective purchasers might be taken as an effort for his personal gain, while if there was a business league that would take nm all such matters and prosecute them To hnality. there is no doubt that Forrest City could secure within fev years large number of manufactur- Ing enterprises and good citizens.
 MT. Paul Floyd, purchasing agent ot the Armour Packing Company, has written for information, with view to establishing tub factory here. A tub factory would use all the culls of all the gum timber that any mill mig It saw, and we believe this fac tory could be secured by just a little effort.
 MT. Lieb, of Lieb & Little. of Pa daeah, Kentucky, accompanied by his estimator, was here a few days last week, Investigating timber lands. With view to putting in large slave mill. Lieb & Little are the largest exporters of spokes ill the | nited States. He wants 10 locate in Forrest City, prefers to live here rather than ill Memphis, but cannot secure q suitable residence. He would buy CT rent place if it suited his re- Quirements and the price was reason able.
 Dr. John Laird, of Morrillton, a chronic disease specialist, who does an exclusive office practice, and Mr. 0. W. Conley, vice president and travelling representative of the Pow ell Hlckory Handle Company, of Louisville, each wish to locate here, but cannot secure houses.
 These are only a few that have been turned away this week Hundreds of others have likewise been forced to go elsewhere for the reason that there are not sufficient accommoda- tions here, and those who have lots in desirable locations will not build and will not sell at reasonable figures to others who would build

SKETCH OF sTEPToE FIGHT.
Idaho Pioneer Reviews the Famous

The Lewiston Tribune publishes the

the head of the Great Pageant-the
Survivors Of the Steptoe Butte Mas

and will state there was no massacre.
1t was a battle and we killed and
wounded a great many more of the
Indians than they did of us, and fur
thermore we were not near the said
butte.
In proceeding on our expedition
north our trail led us about four
miles east of the butte and on our
retreat from the battle ground we
passed the butte about the same dis
tance west. 1t was called Pyramid

the name was changed after
In regard to the first steamer to

Wright and not the Okanokan. The
letter boat did not ascend the Snake
river till 1862.
The Colonel Wright was the first
steamer built above The Dalles, and
on the evening of the third day ol
May, 1851, entered the mouth OF
the Clearwater and proceeded as fai

IS NO EPIDEMIC
MENINGITIS PREVALENT
HERE NOT INFECTIOUS
Local situation Need Cause No Alarm
Two Widely Different Forms Of
the Disease Discussed by Local Ply
sician-Milder and Less Dangerous
Form Has Been Present Here.

That Pendleton is in no danger of
an epidemic Of meningitis is declared
by physicians of the city. According
to DR.. w. G. Cole the three local cases
from which deaths but recently occur
red were all cases of tubercular men,
ingitis which is a form that Is not re-
garded as epidemic.
There is a wide difference between
the two forms. The principal points
of variance are that the regular men,
ingitis comes quickly, the patient
breaks out, thus causing the disease
to be often known as spotted fever,
while the tubercular form is a lin.
gering ailment and the patient does
not break out.
Upon the subject of the regular
cerebo-spinal meningitis DR.. Daniel
E. Hughes in his medical work says:
THE common form begins abrupt
ly with chill, excruciating headache,
persistent nausea, vomiting, vertigo
and an overwhelming sense OF weak
ness. Within a few hours the mus
cles of the back become rigid and re-
tract with decided pain upon moving
the head. There is great restlessness
and the surface of the body becomes
highly sensitive, cramps in the mus
cles of the legs and elsewhere and
spasmodic twitchings of the lips and
eyelids come and go, finally convul-
sions or delirium occur. From the
first day to the fifth an eruption OF
petechiae or purpura occurs in the
majority of cases and also an hepetic
eruption appears. The disease reaches
its height in from three to eight days
"Tubercular meningitis is not ep-
idemic, has no characteristic erup-
tion, is preceded by long prodrones
and runs tedious course. 1t is usu-
ally a secondary disease"
That the two recent cases of men.
ingitis were plainly tubercular menin.

gering.
Last spring much alarm was caused
in different portions of western Ore
gon and Washington over the preva'
lence of an epidemic of meningitis
and the recent deaths here have caus
ed some uneasiness. But as the trou
BILE is declared not infectious there II
| apparently no need for alarm.

WOOD FAMINE IN GRANT
Difficulty OF Securing Timber From
Reserves Is Annoying.

There is every indication that there
will be a wood famine in the towns of
northern Grant situated, as we are, In
the timber and the national Forest
says the Monument Enterprise. There
is particular danger to the residents
of Long creek who can not WELD an
ax because there Is no wood for sale
nor any one to cut 1t.
There has been several inquiries the
past week concerning the method OF
procedure to obtain the right to cut
fire wood from the national forest.
There is considerable amount Of red
tape to be spun before this privilege
can be secured
II the government is as slow In at
tending to the settlers application for
fire wood as It is in attending to his
other applications and If the people
all wait until the cold weather to
make application there is danger that

II Educational Day" at the dis
trict fair, September "a, is not an
unqualified success 1t will not be the
fault of the able and active COM
mittee which has the program in
charge. The committee met last
evening and decided to invite, in ad-
dition to the state officials already
invited by the fair commission, a
number OF prominent educators and
educational leaders and thinkers of
the state.
Special invitations have been sent
out today to list of five leading ed
ucational workers of the state as fol-

thor of Mclaughlin and Old Ore

in their spheres of work and the COM
mittee has exercised excellent judg-
ment in sending its special invitation,
with a view to securing a variety of
literary ability and educational ac-
tivity for its special day at the fair.

large attendance on that day, which
will be made one of the leading days

nent speakers there will be parades

GASOLINE REQUIRED BY AUTOS
Expert Shows That Cost IL IS Cents
Per 100 Miles for Each Passenger.

An automobile expert says Of the
amount of gasoline used by machines:
The gasoline consumption afforded
great interest, one car running as low
as 0 2-3 miles per gallon, while an
other ran as high as 32 miles per
gallon. Forty per cent of the num-
ber have claimed to get over 20 miles
per gallon, while the average OF all
is a trifle over IS 1-3 miles per gal
lon.
The cost of repair. This amount
ranges from practically nothing in
some cases to seceral hundreds of dol
lars in others. The total amount of
repairs, not including tires for the 161
cars was s6SS1.29, or an average for
each car of s42.74. For the average
length of time the cars have been
used Il year and month 20s days.
1t means an average cost of S2.17 per
month, or less than 81 cents per
week.
Another way to compute the cost
would be to total the distance travel
ed, taking 161 cars totaling 1,555,427
miles, and with the total cost for re-
pairs of S6,sS1.29, it means that the
cost of the upkeep averages .00493f
cents per 100 miles that is travelled
That certainly is cheaper than walk.

In considering these points. do not

one or two passengers, and sometimes
three passengers. while others were
four-passenger cars carrying five oil
six passengers. The average a!
shown by affidavits was nearly 81
persons, so it would make this ex
pense less than 13 cents per 190 mile.

In order that a settler may secure
the right to cut timber in the national
forest we are told, application must
be made to the forest guard of that
part of the forest in which you are
located. The guard then visits the
timber and marks the trees you can
cut.
But the guard can't be everywhere
at once and If he finds timber cut
without a permit 1t becomes his duty
to report the fact. The forest guards
are Leo Neal of Monument, Albert
