OUTLOOK DARK
FOR TIMBER SUPPLY

Washington, Nov, 4.-"In
twenty years the timber supply in
the Urted States on government
reserves and private holdings, at
the present rate Of cutting, will be
exhausted, although it is possible
that the growth Of that period
might extend the arrival of this
time another FIVE years"
This announcement was made
today by Clifford Pinchot, the gov
ernnrnt forester, who has Just re-
turned from a six months inspcc-
tion trip, on which he travelled ten
thousand miles.
In sounding his warning Mr..
Pinchot urged that the danger OF
the situation should not be under
estimated. He said that the
United States uses more timber
per capita than any other country,
and that every man, woman and
child would be affected. He de-
cried the policy of discounting the
future of the country by failure to
protect the natural resources, and
he has advised every one who has
not already done so to read Presi-
dent Roosevelt's speech at Mem
phis on this general suject.
About one-fifth OF the area of the
country is in government reserves,
but Mr.. Pinchot called attention
to the fact that as privately owned
timber lands are better than the
government reserves, as a general
rule, the government does not con-
troll one-fifth of the timber supply.
A scheme advocated by the state
forester of California is being
watched with a great deal of inter-
est. Under the police powers of
the state the forester is endeavor-
ing to protect the watersheds and
prevent private owners from de-
wasting these lands in such manner

these also will be free from worms
and diseases such as we have in
our state (Illinois). do not
think the farmers in New Mexico
need fear apple scab, potato scab,
or any fungus growths."
MIR. Shank also gave US the his.
tory of the Missing Link Apple"
This apple is grown by the Miss.
ing Link Apple Co., Of Clayton,
ILL.,, OF which Mr.. Shank is the
owner, together with his sons.
The original Seeding apple tree
was brought from Ohio to Schuyler
County ILL.,, about sixty years ago.
1t was one of many. other one year
old seedlings trees planted in this
orchard, which upon arriving at
the bearing age, proved to be
superior for its ha rdiness, its pro.
life bearing, and its mild, sub.acid
flavor, as we'll as its most excellent
keeping qualities. The bulk OF
the crop will keep in any ordinary
cellar twelve months; some speci-
mems have been known to keep
over twenty-iour months and have
retained their excellent flavor. II
is claimed that this apple has
proven itself superior to all others
in resistance of insects and fugus
growths and will give u better crop
without spraying than any other
apple that has ever been brought
to public notice.
Mr.. Shank and his associates
are here looking for a location to
establish a fruit and live stock
farm on large scale. Before re-
turning, they will visit the Aqua
Negra Ranch near Santa Rosa.
A. NJ. Peck of Clayton, ILL.,, who
is breeder of fancy cattle and
hogs at that place, visited Tucum-
carl with view of finding a loca-
ton in this vicinity for a stock
farm.
Col. Daniel Shank, who visited
our town this week, is the Vice
President of the Manker- HI Heavner
Navigation Co., with Offices in
Chicago and factory at Pearl, ILL.,,
who are the inventors of the Hydro
curve boat. CThis boat has broken
the worlds record in St. Louis and
Peoria during the past summer).
One of their 80 #. boats was used
as an official dispatch boat during
the Presidents visit in St. Louis
last summer. The boat is con-
structed so that the displacement
OF water required is not SO great as
in others, hence the great speed.

MEMPHIS REUNION PROVES
INTERESTING and SPECTACULAR
Veterans From Score Of States in
the Line Of March, as the Members
Of Forests Eanaus Command Are
Now seattssd pser the Country
Associated Press.

Memphis, Tenn, October IL
Mounted and in battle array, as in
the old days when, under the stars
and bars, they followed their gallant
and intrepid leader in many a des-
perate charge, the, survivors of Gen.
eral N. B. Forests cavalry corps
marched through the streets of Mem.
phis today. The appearance of the
aged and grizzled warriors of the Con-
federacy was greeted with cheers by
the spectators, and, in quavering and
broken tones, the old soldiers an
swered back with the defiant rebel
yell.
Veterans from score of states were
in the line of march, as the members
of Forests command are now scat
tered all over the country. This is
the second annual reunion gof the
corps, the first having been held here
last fall. Memphis was chosen as the
permanent place of meeting because
of the fact that it was the home of
General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the
greatest cavalry leader of the Con-
federacy, whose terrific charges and
wonderful victories were the despair
of the Union leaders, General H. A.
Tyler, the commander of the entire
corps, had charge of the general fea-
lures of today's program, which in
cluded, in addition to the parade, a
session devoted to speech making and
an old-time barbecue
Far surprising all the formal fea-
lures, however, was the spirit of com
radship engendered by the reunion.
Hundreds of Forests men, now re.
siding in widely separated states, met
for the first time since the bloody
days of the '6Os, and, with recovered
youth, renewed the spirit of the old
days. The reunion of the followers
of the dashing cavalry leader will be
continued as an annual affair in
Memphis until all have answered the
last roll call.

jackson, Miss, October 1.-THE
congregation of the First Methodist
Church, of this city, has perfected
arrangements to support two medical
missionaries In the foreign field, and
the church assumes responsibility for
the support of DR.. John B. Fearn and
wife, who for many years have been
laboring in the Chinese field
DR.. Fearn was sent to China as a
medical missionary of the church
some years ago, and Mrs. Fearn, who
is also graduate in medicine, has
given him substantial aid in his la
bors. Both have paid a visit to the
congregation during the present year,
and Mrs. Fearn is now the guest of
friends in Jackson
During the past year there has been
a decided forward movement in for
eign mission work in the Mississippi
conference, which has been largely
due to the efforts of Rev. H. M. Ellis,
missionary evangelist. through whose
influence several churches have been
induced to attempt the support of mis-
sionaries in the foreign field. Mr.. Ellis
will commence missionary meeting
at Union, Decatum County, on Sun

o'clock this afternoon, when the
stockholders meeting adjourned until
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. It Is
hardly probable that the proxies will

and another adjournment is antici-

Harrimair's attorneys made seri-

proxies laid on table before the
stockholders and allowing the COM

plan vigorously, declaring that there
was no need to make test until
everything was in readiness for the
final battle.
Both sides are still confident Of vic

when the proxies were placed in a
vault for safe-keeping and both sides
insisted on placing guards at the

New York, October 17.-Sensation
followed sensation in the financial cir
cles of New York today as the result
of the failure of the firm of Otto
Heinze & Co. and the slump in copper
stocks. The first staggering blow
came early in the morning, when it
was announced that Otto Heinze, the
Butte copper magnate, had resigned
the presidency of the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank of New York.
Following quick on the heels of
these sensations came dispatch from
Butte, Mont, announcing the failure
of the State Savings Bank, dominated
by the Heinze influence.
The directors of the Amalgamated
Copper Company added to the excite
ment by declaring a quarterly divi-
dend of only one per cent. instead of
the usual per cent. The Boston and
Montana also cut it's dividends in
half.
The announcement from Hamburg,
Germany, of the failure of the bank
ing firm of Haller Soehle & Co., with
liabilities estimated at $7,5O0,OO0.
Toward the close the market rallied
to some extent, but the day was one
of the most alarming periods in the
history of American finance.

for the parties to do is to hold a con-

avoid all this flood of ex-parte state

fair hearing. Some times railroad
may be technically guilty of violation
of the law when 1t is not so in spirit.
A recent example of this is the over
flowing of the Colorado River along
the line of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road. The government was not in
clined to take up the problem of fore
ing the river back into its banks and
turned the job over to us and we paid
for 1t all. When we came to ship ma:

paid for everything, we were only

twisted into a violation of the law If
no explanation was offered. 1t is to
avoid such misconstructions as would

the Lopez Expedition.
Associated Press.

New York, October I'm an un-
pretentious rooming house in West
Sixty-first street there now resides a
man who will soon become the presi-
dentof the Brazilian republics per-
haps. Sebastian Honore Leon de
Magali, who proclaims himself the
future chief executive of Brazil, en-
tertains no doubts as to the success
of his revolutionary project. His
(confidence in the powers of American
soldiers is unlimited. Already he has
selected his little army of 500 men,
all of whom were at one time enrolled
in the ranks 70 Uncle Sans fighters
on sea and land, and within the next
week or two the filibustering expedi-
ton will sail for Brazil. So far as
can be learned, Magali's plan is to
land his army on the coast of Minas
Ceraes province, at spot known only
to himself, and thence march ON the
capital, Ouro Preto, overwhelm it by
force, and then, with his 500 Yankees
and a few thousand Brazilian profess
sional ,reyodutionists whom he expects
to flock to his victorious banner, de-
mand the capitulation of Rio de Jan
GIRO. De Magali, who is Brazilian
coffee planter. expects then to estab-
lish himself in the presidential chair,
and has promised to give the Yankee
revolutionists fat berths in the army
and navy of Brazil. Altogether, it
is an alluring picture that the Spanish
revolutionist paints, and 1t is small
wonder that over 1000 ambitious ad-
venturers have offered to place them
selves at his disposal
That Senior de Magali is practical
man, despite his roseate visions, is
evidenced by the fact that he has re-
quired each of the. successful appli-
cants for places in his foreign legion
to supply his own equipment, at cost
of $3.50 each. In case the revolution
is successful, this amount will be re-
funded and each soldier, in addition
