LACK or lockwood.
SUPPLY OF THIS IMPORTANT WOOD
ABOUT GONE IN SOUTH
ERN STATES.

The supply of dogwood and per-
simmon shuttles in the Southern
States is nearly exhausted. This
statement will not appear signii-
cant to the average man when he
first hears it. But when he is told
that the entire supply of shuttles,
/ bobbins and spindles used in the
cotton and wooden mills in all parts
of the country is furnished by the
dogwood and persimmon growing
lin the Southern States, the serious
ness of the situation is apparent.
The textile mills of the country
represent capitalization OF nearly
a billion dollars, and bobbins, shut
ties and spindles are just as neces-
sary parts of these mills as the
throttle is to the locomotive.
Fortunately, the shuttle manu-
facturers have found another source
of supply in the dogwood stands
in the far northwest part OF the
country, Two large companies
manufacturing spindles, shuttles
and bobbins have erected plants in
the Cascades, in Oregon, where
dogwoodforests are the greatest in
the world, the tree often attaining
a height Of rs feet and diameter
of one to two feet. The southern
dogwood is rarely more than 3
inches in diameter. Exstenslve
stands of dogwood are also found
in California and Washington. Up
to the present time, lumber users
in the Pacific Northwest have found
dogwood valueless except for fuel,
and it's utilization for the manufac-
ture of shuttles will bring about a
considerable increase in stumpage
values of this tree.
These companies, at their Ore
gan plants, will not only manufac-
ture the articles named, but will
utilize every part Of the tree, turn
ing to account the waste wood, and
producing such by-products as
pyroligneous acid, acetic acid, pro-
tacetate of iron, acetate of lime,
methylated spirits, solvent naptha,
wood tar, wood pitch and various
forms of charcoal. Dogwood is in
dispensable in the the manufacture
of shuttles, bobbins and spindles,
because it is the only wood which
takes a high polish and wears per-
fectly smooth by friction under wa
ter.
The discovery of the adaptable
ty of the Pacific dogwood, howev-
err. has not aided the eastern man.
ufacturers, and they have been
obliged to look for substitutes near
er home. The most promising of
these are mesquite and tupelo gum.
The wood of the mesquite is heavy
and very hard, close grained, and
has a compact structure. 1t is
probable that it would beeminently
adapted for the manufacture of
shuttle blocks, as it appears to
have all the requisite qualities Of
weight, hardness and susceptibility
to a high, smooth polish. Already
it has proved we'll fitted for the
manufacture of spools and bobbins
| for which white birch is now sc
largely used. The tupelo gum is
medium hard and heavy, and has !
compact, fibrous structure. 1t has
not yet been utilized to much ex
tent in the textile industries
though it is quite probable it vii
play an important part in the fu'
ture since it combines, with severa
necessary qualities, the exactine
property of wearing smooth by
friction.

UNCLE'S LEG WAS PULLED
How the Improvements Were Made
in the Minnesota River.

Blue Earth county will receive
$1,000 of the $1,000 appropriated by
the legislature to assist in the con
struction of state roads, says The
Lake Crystal Union. This sum is hard
w drop in the bucket. 1t is a
good deal like the $4,000 appropria-
tion made by the government years
ago to pay for pulling "snags' out
of the Minnesota river. In the spring
of the year, after the water had re-
ceded in the Minnesota. a crew of
three or four men and boss would
drift down the river, on flat boat
with crane, not sand hill bird, but
one made of wood. and few ropes,
to pull "snags." The principal pulling
was Uncle Sans leg and the cork
out of jugs until the money was all
gone.
Every little helps, and if the $4,000
is expended i'll one place it will show
some But the big fish will eat up
the little ones and the small fry get
nothing and pay their share of taxes
besides.

INTO SHOW BUSINESS AGAIN
Younger Proposes to Run Street Fair
at Marlin, Texas.

Cole Younger is going into the show
business again, says The Kansas City
Journal. He has gone to Marlin, Tex,
where the Younger Nichols Theatrical
Amusement company is assembling a
street show Three grinds and lot
of concessions" is the way Cole put
it.
There is nothing in the undertaking
to conflict with your terms with the
Minnesota pardon board, is therel"
Younger was asked
1T won't conflict in the least" was
the reply. "We are just going to run
il street fair. There will be no cow
boys, no Deadwood coaches nor any
thing else like that in it. We will
not come north with it-at least not
further north than Oklahoma. We will
90 over the Panhandle route first, and
may or may not get into Oklahoma"
Cole Younger was heavy when he
lett the Minnesota penitentiary, but
he is giant now, weighing well on
toward 275 pounds. He has made hs
home in Jackson county since being
pardoned. when he has not been out
with Wild West shows. All his Wild
West shows have proven disastrous
one way or another. AS he swung
down Baltimore avenue yesterday af-
ternoon on his way to an office build
ing, wearing black frOck coat, black
SLOUGH hat and carrying hand
satchel. he might have been taken
for hurley country banker, stock
man or farmer, but never for an
ex- bandit. His soft voice and gentle
way of speaking help the Illusion
Good luck this time, Cole" an ac-
ouaintance said to him after hearing
the news that the old man was to
make another attempt to earn living
in the show line.
Pm shore thankful to you for say
in that, sir" he replied, speaking as
though he meant it.

ADDRESS WAS ON IRELAND
ST. Patrick Day Celebration Ended
With Lecture BY Rev. O'6rien.

The st. Patrick's day celebration last
evening was successful in every way.
The supper served in the basement of
st. Johns Catholic church from five
to seven o'clock was attended by about
400 people. The supper was served
by the ladies of the church, and was
an ample spread and well put on, so
that the crowd was not kept waiting
more than was necessary.
At eight o'clock about 400 people
crowded the \. Q. L. W., hall and
listened to highly interesting pro-
gram. Mr. f. X. Mcaghcr gave a
piano solo in an accomplished manner,
and Miss Kenney sang solo very
swectly.
Rev Father O'Bricn of the ST. Paul
seminary was then introduced and
spoke about an hour, his subject be-
ing Ireland, its past, present and flu
ture. He covered the ground thorough
ly, and spoke at times with elo-
quence and always impressively. His
remarks were listened to with much
pleasure. @

Fairbault Will Not Pay.

Faribault, Mimi, Special, March IL
The city council is up in arms
against the Polar Star Electric COM
pany, which has the contract for light
ing the city, and has voted to refuse
to pay the light bill for February
which amounts to over $400. The COM
pany it is charged, has been exception
ally poor service, and an investigation
has been made by the lighting commit
tee of the council with the result
that no more payments will be made
until improvements are made in the
city lighting.
The contract may also be revoked.
The plant was sold about four
months ago by the original owners to
an outside corporation. Many of the
public places have been without lights
when badly needed on numerous occa-
sions, and the city has also been in
darkness at times.

Deafness is the result, and unless the

Bryan and His Friends Are Now
Filled With Optimism.
LAY CLAIM TO MANY STATES
Hopes Of Carrying New York ndia IA,
Ohio, New Jersey; There Is No
Doubt as to Texas.

Democratic possibilities are sized up
by Edward B. Clark, who writes from
Washington to The Chicago Evening
Post:
This is the hour of democratic opti-
mism. Why it is so is hard to tell.
Nevertheless William j. Bryan's fri
ends in Washington are saying with
never smile that the Nebraskan
next November will carry New York,
New Jersey, Indiana and Ohio-states
that are to be the fields of the real
battle between the parties. The OPP
timism of Mr.. Bryan's friends is
subject to huge discount, but if the
democrats should carry two OF the
states named it would surprise the re-
publican prophets and possibly would
carry the, election for the democratic
chieftain.
The democrats base their hope for
New York on the fact that one year
ago the entire ticket in that state,
with the exception of the head, was
elected. Roosevelt, they say, beat
Hearst by ordering Secretary Root to
score the editor in his speech at Utica,
but with Roosevelt and Hearst out of
it. as candidates at least, the demo-
cracy believes it can take New York
into camp.
