SMALL GIVES UP THE CONTEST,
Deposed photographers Head Admits
Legality Of Boards Action.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-s. J. Small, the
deposed president Of the striking
telegraphers, formally gave up his
fight for the position and issued a
statement that he would not attend
a special convention to be held at
Milwaukee this week. Mr.. Small ad-
mitted the legality of the executive
boards action which lost him the
presidency of the union. His change
of attitude came as a surprise to his
friends, who expected him to make
a fight for reinstatement.

was to get rid of it. They felled the
trees, piled the logs and burned them,
making use only Of what they needed
for fences, buildings and fuel, which
was a small quantity compared with
what they destroyed. A market grad
ually grew up, and the lumber indus
try began to develop. AS early as 1910
sawmills were common west Of the
Ohio, and in 1850 Ohio rose to fourth
rank among the states as a lumber
producer, Indiana fifth and Illinois
eighth.
In 1860 the three leading states
were still Pennsylvania, New York and
Maine, but Michigan had passed Ohio,
Indiana dropped to sixth place, while
Wisconsin and California both rose
above Illinois. Ten years later Michi-
gan was first, and remained so for
30 years, when Wisconsin passed it
and held first place than 20
years, finally yielding to Washington.
Great Fields for Hard Woods.
But during all this time Illinois, In
diana and Ohio were furnishing enorm-
GUS amounts of hardwoods and supply
ing many mills whose manufactures In
cluded farm machinery, carriages,
wagons, tool handles, wooden ware,
house finishings, furniture and many
other products. Unlike most of the
forested regions in the far west, a
large proportion Of the land in this
section is adopted to agriculture, and
on the removed Of the timber has been
made into farms. Every year has
lessened the forest area and increased
the size and number of farms, with the
result that now the wooded area in the
three states named is proportionately
smaller than in any other of the orig
inally wooded states.

SAD HAVOC OF
prairie fires
WILKlN COUNTY FARMS IN MIN.
NESOTA ARE DEVASTATED
BY THE FLAMES.
Boy Playing with Matches Starts the
Fire. Damage at Least $780, 1000.
Farmers Flowing the Land to Pre-.
vent Spread.

GAINESVILLE, Mimi, Oct. 21.--The
worst prairie fire in years is devastat-
ing the northeastern part of Wilkin
county, and seems to defy all efforts
to check its progress. Three large
farms have been entirely wiped out,
and there seems no question but that
others will go. The damage done
thus far is estimated at not less than
$50, 600.
The fire was started by a boy who
was playing with matches on the
farm of Charles Fundscock, and all
the buildings on that place, including
the house, barns, g%raneries ana sheds
we're destroyed. The wind was light,
and the people living in the path Of
the flames had ample chance to es-
cape, no lives having been lost as far
IS is known.
The entire region is very dry, and
the flames spread rapidly. Ten large
haystacks, containing between 800
and 900 tons of hay were destroyed
in an hour.
The old Lavally farm and the Ev-
n place r in ruins, and the farm
ers throughout the region which is
burning are working hard to check
the conflagration by blowing up the
country. The lack of wind is the on
ly feature in favor of the farmers, as
the absence of rain for days past ha.
converted the prairies into huge tin
der fields.
Considerable alarm was felt for the
town of Lawnsdale on the Great
Northern line, as it was directly in
the path of the fire but the town es-
capped without damage though the
country all about it was laid waste.
No other places will be reached until
the flames have travelled several
miles and it is hoped that enough
ground can be broken up to check
the,fire'sprogress.

His Point well raken-

According to story related by a
representative from Tennessee, there
was negro who was elected to the
legislature Of Mississippi during re-
construction times. He was unedu.
Gated, but knew enough to vote with
his party every time, and he picked
up few pointers on parliamentary
law.
This negro was drawn on the jury
Of the circuit court. The docket was
crowded and the court held until late
hour. One evening the colored juror
was tired and hungry and did not rel
ish the prospect of being kept from his
supper. He astonished everybody by
rising in his seat and exclaimlng in q
loud voice:
May it please de coht, / moves
you, sab, dat dis coht does now ad-
iou'n ontil tomorrer mawnin'."
The judge was amazed and informed
the sable juror that courts never ad-
journ except on their own motion.
Oats all right, sah," responded the
parliamentary Juror, "but, sab, yo'
kaint deny dat a motion to adju'n am

The old masters used such care In

Of wood Of proper fiber and vibration

rather than waste even a particle OF
such strip, they frequently con
