ALBUQUERQUE'S BIG FAIR

Albuquerque, N NJ. Aug. 24 1907. Baseball has always. been one of the star attractions of the New Mexico territorial fair to De held in Albuquerque, October 7-12. Rea lizing the great interest in baseball. and the rapid increase in that interest, the fair association has this year increased its appro priation for prizes for the baseball tournament to $1 ,75O, the biggest purse ever offered for a tournament of this kind west of the Mississippi river. The winner of the tourna- ;nent gets a purse of .$9OO, the second money is worth $500, while $2OO goes to the third team in the race. Not less than five teams are already entered, and it is proba ble that a total of seven will be seen in the game. The tourna ment this year. at last, is open to teams from New Mexico and Arizona. Fl Paso, Texas, and Trinidad. Colorado. The magnificent record made by the Trinidad team during the present season makes 1t a formidable competitor for the first money. El Paso Is forming, iron. the Fl Paso city league, team which the fans say Is as fast or faster than the Trinidad team. Albuquerque has the strongest amateur tea m 1t has had in recent years. All these teams are to be
 materially strengthened, as it is realized that this tournament is to be for blood. League players will be seen with all the competing teams. It will, however, be strict ly an amateur tournament.

Territorial Board of Equalization

Regarding the business transact ed at the recent meeting of the territorial board of qualiza tion, the Arizona Republican says the more important facts are that the exact valuation of the property of the territory for purposes of tax at1on is $77,372, ,156.11, as against about $62.OOO,OOO. though taxes were collected on only about $57, 100000. The rest of the assessment was covered by deIin- quencies and contests against the mining assessment in two counties.
 The raises ordered by the board amounted to about $724,0OO. This sum was mostly made up of in creaaes of the assessments of land grants in the northern part of the territory and raises of the valuation of non productive patented mines in Cochise county. The latter raise added about $4OO.OOO to the valuation. These mines had been assessed at $27S each; they were increased to bout $500, the figures turned in by the other counties. There were 2915 such mines re turned altogether. with valuation after the equalization of $2 341 624 which, added to the assessment of the producing mines, gives total assessment of the mines at $15, ,SO5,193, sweeping increase over the item of mines last year.
 There was considerah hle in crease in the returned valuation of city and town lots and improve ments.

SUPPLY OF WHITE OAK

The southern Appalachian region including the Allegheny ranges and the platea us which slope west ward to the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, is now the chief source of supply of white oak, as we'll as the region of it's greatest commercial importance. West Virginia, with an estimated stumpage of nearly 5000, 100000 board feet has more than one-third of the standing white oak in this region. The state of Kentucky still has over 9 billion feet, and Tennessee a little over 2,O0OO0O,000 feet. Virginia and North Carolina follow next in order with over 1.OOO,OOO,OOO each.
 White oak is one of the most widely distributed and eommer- cially important trees of the United States, and it's total annual pro- duct of over 2,0OO,O0O,OOO feet of lum Der is more than double that of any other hardwood. The wood is compact and close grained hard tough strong, heavy, and durable in contact with the soil. By a peculiar mode of sa wing by which the boards are cut nearly parallel to the pith rays. the silver grain is shown, furnishing the handsomely figured panels, ceiling, and mold ing of "quarter-sawed" oak.
 White oak is the favorite timber for railroad cross-lies, and of the 9O,0OO,OOO ties purchased each year nearly one half are of oak, the greater part of which are white oak. IL is also an ideal material for tight cooperage manufacture. Other uses are for car stock, boards. planking, beams, dimension stuff of all sizes, ship building, tool har dies, wagon spokes, ard furni- ture and basket veneer.
 Red oak and black oak exceed white oak in rapid growth and early maturity, but the latter has marked advantage in its greater ability to withstand shading, in its longevity, and in it's inherent re sistance to decay, insects, and fungi.
 The forest service has just issued publication (Circular 1O5) which describes the growth and supply of white oak and it's uses. This will be mailed free upon application to the Forester, United States Depart ment of Agriculture.

TO MY UNKNOWN NEIGHBoR.
By C. A. Price.


Last night I sat beside my window
late,
As one who watches at his prison bars
Sick of the days innumerable jars.
Clogged with dull Earth and all her
grievous weight
OF tears and mute despairs and pitt
less wars
That know no cause, the brood and
spawn of Hate.
Above me bent the skies compass
sionate;
Ionged for the companionship Of
stars.
But sudden. oh, what reconciling
strain,
Making earth one again with heaven,
and whole,
Rose on the midnight, all the discords
changingi
Lo, in a moment, lightened of my
pain
And every fear forgot, felt my soul
With Schubert through the empyrean
ranging.

Rainor gasped as he heard the
words, and a look of fathomless joy
came out on his face.
You know I'll go with you," he said
simply.
Claiborn chuckIed delightfully."-, and
opened a pocketbook.

Well, here is return of certain sums

fair share of the fortune you gave

you wouldn't take the money from
him and dragged me into the affair.
Thornberg isn't such a bad chap. It
has developed recently that he once
saved his state half a million-might

do so.''
They went up the store slowly to
Graham's office. The resignation and
farewell were brief. But, as they
reached the door that led out of the
grocery. Rainor turned abruptly. A
very ordinary looking individual was
gathering up his packages and dis
cussing loudly a newspaper headline
with one of the clerks near by.

| So the twenty cowboys were not pleased
with the indications of a stampede. The cat

every direction. Then in long, swinging trots
they came toward common centre, though
all the time bearing eastward.
When they had punched" in crowding

and dogs were paid no more attention to thar
