VALUE OF LUMBER OUTPUT
Arkanas Is One of the Leading States
 in Value of Lumber Produced.

Arkansas remains among the leading states of the Union in the lumber industry. The fastest re port of the government forest ser vice shows that Arkansas stands first as producer of red gum and cottonwood and second in it's cut of yellow pine, hickory, cypress and red oak.
 In total output of all kinds of woods Arkansas stands sixth among the states This is posi- tion of importance that should be fully appreciated by our citizens. It should be taken advantage of to widely advertise our splendid re sources throughout other sections of the Union. A few years ago Arkansas was far down in the list as regards the amount of lumber produced, but today she stands among the first lf-dozen states of the country.
 According to the government's report, the lumber cut in Arkan- sas in the year 1906 was 1, ,449,- 589, 1000, or about per cent of the total cut of 30, ,502, ,961, 900 feet.
 The report shows that the 466 mills in Arkansas reported a total of 1,48S, ,5S9, ,00O feet cut during the year. Of this, 1,O84, 263, 900 was soft wood and 404, 326.000 feet hardwood. The number of mills using each variety of wood and the number of feet of each species cut in Arkansas is given in the following table:

DRAINAGE CAMPAIGN.

A campaign in behalf of good roads aud drainage, to be waged in Arkansas and Louisiana, has been planned by the Missouri Pacific Railway Company, the De- partment of Agriculture and the United States Commission of Pub lie Roads.
 This movement, which is one of the most unique of recent years, from the fact that the government and corporation are to cooperate for joint end, has as it's object the education of the people in the territory mentioned, in the neces- sity of draining wet lands. It is also proposed to show how easily this may be accomplished by illus trating the work done in other parts of the country, along this line with maps.

THE CRIME OF PERJURY
Eminent Jurist's Opinion of Wit
 nesses Who Have Bad Memory.

The following extract from Judge John H. Rogers recent charge to the federal grand jury at Fort Smith, has been published and favorably commented upon by a number of the state papers. It is we'll worthy of the careful perusal of any citizen.
 When illicit distilling is per mitted in community said he,
 every person in the community becomes involved and corrupted; every case in state or federal courts finds it's witnesses corrupt ed by interest or fear, and dodge in cases having nothing directly to do with the distilling. It is wrong from the foundation, defraudihg government and corrupting and debauching the community. If crimes against the laws of the state or nation are allowed to exist the moral sentiment of the com munity drops to their level. That condition has existed in this com munity, when gambling houses and saloons were allowed to run wide open in open vialation of law and order. 1 am glad to say that 8 better sentiment has swept this condition out of existence here. In cases where such violations of law are allowed to exist unrebuk- ed, officers and grand and petit jurors have violated their solemn oaths. It is & wrong and a shame where such conditions are allowed to exist. " After instructions re- lating to counterfeiting, violations of the postal laws and making fraudulent claims, Judge Rogers dwelt at length on the crime of perjnry. ''There is another crime so frequently committed,' , said he, and very few cases which are not subject to its evil influence; neither is it confined to the poor and hum- ble, 1t throws it's shadow across bank and trust organizations, and even the chief officer of great insurance company is now under indictment on this charge. It throws it's influence over the bank ruptcy law and converts humane law into weapon for fraud which has attached disgrace even to the word "ban <rupt." /" After giving the jury suggestions aa to the de lection of perjury and to the credi- bility of witnesses, the judge said in illustration: "The probabilities should be weighed. To illustrate: In recent prosecutions in this city we have heard many I don't know, and I don't remembers, and such subterfuges. You can It tell me that man can commit a crime against the laws or take part in the commission of crime, as has been shown by the gambling cases and forget 1t all in few weeks. The witness who is glib about the things he wants to tell and who don't know or don't remember the things he does not want t. tell, is committing per- jury.0

EFFECT OF THE PURE FOOD LAW.
Driving Many Worthless Catarrh
Medicines Out of Existence.

VI VI IlAESNcnIc.
Many worthless remedies that have
been advertised for the cure of ca
tarrh have been driven out of exist
ence by the Pure Food Law.
This has naturally increased the
sale of reliable remedies, and those
that fulfill the provisions of the law.
Hyomei, for example, has a larger
sale than before, and Fred D. Pierce
still sells it under guarantee that it
will cure caCarrh or the money will be
refunded.
Breathe Hyomei three or four times
daily through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and it's
healing air will reach the most remote
parts of the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs and
soothing and healing anyirritation
in the mucuos membrane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs

guarantee that it will cure or cost

Mr.. Harrison said that by reason of
the freight discrimination the Stand

Mr.. Harrison said that shipping
charges to his company were increas-
ed from about 21 shillings until they
reached AZ shillings pence in 1905.
The contract which the Standard
made on February 10, 1905, with the
Hansa, Prince, Houston and Ameri-

rate to the Standard for oil ship
mont slightly less than II shillings.
The witness declared that he wrote

manding suitable rates for the COM

was made.
