Before the next issue Of the HERALD
I'.ppears, the old year of 1907 will be
|pshered out and the new year Of 1905
ishered in. The old year has been a
ood year for Phillips county. More OF
e land Of our county has been pur-
biased during the year by men from
listern states who either have become
will in the near future become resi-
\ nts of our county. than during any
,ser one year since the settlement Of
lhe county frst bsgan. People IN east
ern states have found out that land can
be secured in our county at very rea-
sonable price and have availed them
selves Of the opportunity to get land on
which to make homes for their families
Good crops were raised the past year
by the farmers and the increased de-
mand for land OF course has resulted In
higher prices for land. The recent f.
nancial trouble in Wall street, for n
time. caused few Of our people to
ltti u uttic biut oNtI tHc puniHcso ouh-
look for the coming year but even
these have already come to the conelu-
sion that they were more scared than
hurt and everybody is now looking for
ward with much confidence to another
good year for our county. For this
season Of the year. crop prospects are
certainly fine. More fall grain was
sown last fall than ever before in the
history Of the county and 80 far the
winter weather has been very favor
able for the fall grain. Taking every
thing into consideration. there certain.
ly are good prospects for better year
for the county in 1908 than we have
had In 1907.
With another prosperous year for our
county. land must Of necessity advance
In price and the man who expects TO
buy Phillips county land during the
coming year. will do u wise thing u he
makes bis purchases in the early
months Of the year.

Worse Than Useless.

James J. Hill, the railroad presl-
dent, was once riding at night on
the rear end of his private car when
his train passed over a long wooden
trestle. A freight train had gone
over few minutes before, and Mr..
Hill remembered he had given orders
that after the passing of all trains
over this trestle a track patrolman
should go over the structure with
a bucket of water and extinguish any
embers that might have fallen from
the locomotive. Though the Hill
special was going along at forty
miles an hour, the alert eye of the
president caught sight of hole in
the bottom of the bucket as the
watchman, in the moonlight, threw
the vessel over one shoulder. Mr..
Hill ordered the train back to the
trestle and summoned the watchman
to him.
My man, you are to the Great
Northern Company just what that
hole is to the bucket you carry-a
good deal worse than useless. You
may throw the bucket away and look
for another job. Human life it too
dear to trust it to one of your kind" :"

Fire Burning One Hundred Years.

The Chequers Inn, Osmotherley, is
a relic of the old coaching days, but
it is now famed for its fire, which has
never been out for more than 100
years and over which girdle cakes are
baked.
This huge fire is kept continually
burning by peat or turf from the York
shire moor. An excellent tea is pro-
vided for visitors, the chief dainty be-
ing the girdle cakes. The peat glows
like red embers on a red tiled floor,
the girdle being suspended from a
bar above, the whole looking most
quaint and picturesque. The exterior
of the inn is most unpretentious and

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

-
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Less activity is reported in the
primary market for cotton goods,
but there is no evidence of weak
ness. On the contrary, several quo
tations are higher, print cloths rul-
ing close to cents. After the re-
cent unprecedented activity some
1inlinution in demand is natural and
wholesome. 1t is no less difficult
to secure early deliveries, and most
manufacturers have as much for
ward business as they are willing to
accept. There is constantly less dis
position to undertake contracts for
next years shipment, conservative
mill owners striving to eliminate the
speculative feature because of the
uncertainty regarding deliveries of
new crop raw material and the possi-
bility of cancellation. Export trade
Is light. Many lines of fancy WOOL
ems have been opened, although buy
ers are not prepared to operate free
ly as yet. Offering of samples has
not weakened the tone, however,
prices ruling about the same as last
year and few varieties are held a
trifle higher.
Some Eastern wholesalers have
placed large contracts with New Eng
land shoe manufacturers, but as
rule trade is still light, buyers oper-
ating cautiously. Returning sales
men report that jobbers throughout
the country carry small stocks and
good autumn trade is expected, al
though orders thus far this season
fall behind last years to date.

Hardening an ordinary drill in
sulphuric acid, states the English
Mechanic, makes an edge that will
cut tempered steel or facilitate cut
ting hard rock. The acid should be
poured into q flat-bottomed vessel
to depth of about one-eighth OF an

That the horse is as sensitive to
pain as we have been taught from
countless circumstances would seem
unlikely. Even after the most severe
operations he will usually start eating
as if nothing were wrong-at least
at first, however feverishness or sub
sequent pain Gas from firing, blister
ing etc., may affect him. The
severest punishment makes no diff.
ference in this respect. You may
dock him and crupper the mutilated
and severely burned tail with inn
punity Immediately afterwards, and
he will feed at once as if nothing had
happened. You may perform this
and other terribly severe operations
with nothing more than twitch upon
his nose, and often without that, yet
if you hamper and confine him he will
generally squeal and cry out at even
the most superficial prick of the knife.
Horrible wounds seem not to incon-
venience him SO far as appetite and
composure go, and yet this is not
because of courage, for even such
slight restrictions as obtain in travel
ing in railroad car will frequently
bring on what are known as "car
fits," in which the animal will work
his own destruction unless he can be
released or stupefied by an opiate.-
