station,i five miles east of Green Forest is doing an excellent business, so reports J. B. Rhodes, the hustling manager.
 Saturday was our first full days run on tomatoes" said MT. Rhodes to the Tribune, while in town first of the week. "I do not think that our tomato growers have lost much on &C., count of bugs or dry weather, y continued MT. Rhodes. "Most of our tomato crops were planted on fresh land and have done ex. ceedingly well.
 "While the prices on tomatoes in the markets are very satisfac- tory, yet we would be pleased if we did not have to handle a bushel of them this year. The apple crop offers far better profit. Tomatoes are quoted some higher than they were last season, but apples are away up compared with last year, and I believe there are enough in the country to keep our factory busy until cold weather.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Now Illuminate the Plant of
 Green Forest Cdnnery
LIGHT PLANT FOR OUR TOWN
Cold Storage and Ice Factory
 Is Under Consideration

The Green Forest canning factory is now lighted by elec- tricity, a dynamo deriving it's power from the engine that propels the machinery of the factory having been put in and the factory and warerooms wired throughout by an expert electrician last week.
 The experience with the lights so far has been very satisfactory, the entire premises being next thing to light as day when the lights are turned on at night. Seventeen incandescent lamps are in use.,
 The use of these lights make night work as easy az day light, and from now on a portion of..the night will be borrowed when necessary to meet the demands for a greater capacity for the factory.
 If everything goes we'll next year it is probable that the can- nery will operate both day and night. It could and would be done this year, but for the scar- city of laborers.
 The installing of this electric light plant for the cannery may be the starting point for the establishment of a plant that will light the town of Green Forest. It has been known in a sort of confidential way for some time that MT. Reeves has been figur- ing on putting in an ice and cold storage plant and a lightplant can be handled in connection with it with but little additional expense. If MT. Reeves does not carry these plans into execution, it will be because he does not de- eide to do SO. He has never fal- len down yet on one of his un- dertakings.
 We expect to have something tangible to report along this line soon.

Only A Slight Error.

The prize corn story comes from Green Forest. A man ir that town claims to have the whole country bested for tall corn. On one of the main streets of the town he claims there are to be seen two or three stalks of corn which are more than twenty feet high. He says if anyone don't believe it to come over and he'll site lem. This corn is more remarkable from the fact that it was planted by a woodpecker and has never been cultivated. It is growing in a dead cottonwood tree at height of over twenty feet from the ground. The kernels were car- ried to the tree by the bird and dropped beneath the bark. The wet weather sprouted the corn and it has grown about a foo tall and is still growing. We publish this yarn with due re- gard for The Tribune's story about dead peach tree bearing peaches.-Eureka Springs Flash. light.
 You are in error, Bro. Molone, as to the kind of tree in which the woodpecker deposited his corn. It was spreading chest- nut, of the same variety that produces so much ''fruit" fort your funny column.

A BOOM EXPECTED
In Real Estate When M. & N.
 A. Opens Eastern Outlet
TENNESSEEANS ARE STAYERS
lilly Condition of Country Has
 No TerrOrs for Them

Real estate men along this por- ton of the M. & N. A. road are awaiting the opening the line through to Memphis with great interest. The event means that tide of immigration will be turned this way from Tennessee and the southeast which is of a very desirable class.
 Tennessee people are strik CTS, and no small per cent of our present population is made up of people from that state. They came here to stay and they have stayed and have prospered. The hilly condition of the country has had no terrors for them, for they were used to that before they came.
 Another desirable feature of Tennessee immigrants is that while many will not be people of wealth, they have means suf- ficient to buy homes and they will not be partial to the lands adjacent to town. They will be satisfied to go even far into the country and buy tracts and im- prove them.
 The average northern and western man, who has been used to broad, level prairies, can not adapt himself readily to con- ditions here, and as a result he often becomes dissatisfied and in year or so many of them are disposed to sell for a reasonable profit and return to their former homes, or continue their search further for lands, the topography of which is more adapted to their tastes.
 Most of this class show a de- cided preference for the more level lands close to town and pay good prices, the result of which has developed an ob- nomial condition in real estate values around Green Forest. Land in the immediate vicinity

PROBLEM OFLAB0R
Greatest Question That Now
 Agitates the Country
WAGES D OUBLDE IN 5 YEARS
Diversified Crops Offer SoIu- tiOn for Arkansas Farmers

l Prosperity no less than hard times hath her problems. The greatest problem presented throu ghout the country today is that of labor-how help sufficient is to be secured to keep the wheels of commerce moving up to the demands of the com- mercial world.
 There is a greater demand for every invention of labor saving machinery than any other article of manufacture. The inventive genius can direct his attention in no more profitable channel that to invent some appliance than will do the work of men or women.
 This demand for laborers is not confined 10 any one part of the country or any one class, there being accessible places for men of all profe ssions and avocations.
 Among the common laborers, however, is the greatest short age. So great is the needs in that direction that the wages of the common laborer is now on a scale almost if not quite equal to that offered for skill workmen. Indeed the wage scale of the common laborer now far exceeds the pay given skilled men few years ago.
 Today the men who do ordinary labor are getting the wages of the skilled mechanic five years ago, and more than twice as much as was paid him for same work ten years ago.
 Take Green Forest for an eX- ample of the country in general, and it is a fair one, the demand for laborers is far in excess of the supply and the scale of wages is fully in keeping with the con. ditions just described.
 The greatest question that now agitates the mind of the large fruit growers and the producers
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-09-20

OI OFeen OreSt, where you can find a tract for sale, is going as high as S60 dollars per acre, while the same class of soil and even better can be purchased from two to four miles out for ten to twenty collars per acre and even less. The line of high priced land, however, is rapidly moving country ward and there is ever reason to believe that lands out some distance will, like the lands close to town have done, double and even trible in value in five years.
 The value of this country as a producer of fruits, poultry and every variety of vegetables as we'll as stock is no longer an ex- pertinent in the mind of any, body. The fact that the local produce men, the canning factory here and the apple buy CTS will have paid out a round half million dollars for country products of the past season on the Green Forest market by the end of the year-and this an unusually poor season in many respects-is sufficient to con- vince the most skeptical on the subject of our resources. This income can, and we have every reason 10 believe will, be multi piled every year for many years to come.
 There is we'll defined senti- ment among the people even in south and eastern Arkansas to come this way, where the health conditions are better. Many rich planters, it is said, will establish summer homes in this country as soon as the country is made accessible by transportation facilities.
 The real estate people along this line of railroad should form an association for the mutual advancement of the country and distribute literature over the en- tire state of Tennessee and other portions of the southeast. There is no use in talking, this is an age of advertising, and the country that is not doing it is be- hind the procession in the matter of development. Advertising, and advertising alone, is trans- forming the deserts of Texas and New Mexico and other points of the southwest into fine-or what is thought to be a fine-farming country.
 Printers ink properly applied will work wonders.
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-09-20

generally is how he is to get help to harvest and market at the proper time. Every grower should so diversity his crops that a labor shortage will not serious ly handicap him, by planting only such quantities as he may be able to handle with little or no help, aside form what he has regularly employed. Thousands on top of thousands of dollars have been lost the past season in the heavy fruit and berry pro- ducing districts of the state by growers being unable to get labor and transportation at the proper time.
 Diversified crops is the best remedy yet for labor "famines," and no country on earth offers a greater field for diversified in- dustries than Northwest Arkan- sas, and Carroll county in partic- ular, where there are dozen varities of products coming on to market at almost as many dif- ferent times in the year, each offering good profit.
 Prosperity in it's most tag gravated form" can be success full taken care of in this country, by diversity of crops and com- mon sense prepartion.

PARDON GRANTED
Denton Baker Will Do No Time in the State Penitentiary
GOV. PIAOALL ACTS MONDAY
Baker and His Friends Elated
 Over Their Success

Denton Baker, convicted 8, the last term ot circuit court fol manslaughter and sentenced tc the penitentiary for two years was on last Monday granted a pardon by Acting Governor Pin dall.
 Attorney J. Vol Walker ol Fayettville, who went to Little Rock 10 present Bakers petition to the governor, sent his client a telegram Monday which told the story in just two words-"Par- don granted"
 The news came as no great surprise to Baker and his faithful friends, but it was none the less welcome.
 Baker was accused of the crime of manslaughter, having killed his father. in Jaw, Houston Breeding at Denver, on July 10, 1906, the details of which are well known to newspaper readers of Carroll county.
 While the jurors claimed that that they could do nothing but convict under the instructions of the court, there were never the- less mitigating circumstances that led every member of the jury to sign petition asking executive clemency. In addition to this Several officers of the court and prominent people of the county signed the petition or wrote let ters to the governor in Bakers be- half. The petition, it is said, con- tained between 1900 and 2000 names of citizens of the county, including the signature of a brother or Houston Breeding.
 Baker bore good reputation, this being the first trouble in which he had ever been involved, and this fact, in view of other circumstances, operated strongly in his behalf.
