Stanley county is still booming
with crops of all kinds looking fine
and plenty Of rain. The small grain
and corn are certainly looking great.
The Ash Creek paper ventured out
for the first time last week. 1t is
known as the Ash Creek Pilot. 1t is
quite a "spicy" little sheet and full
to the brim with advertisements and
few locals.
Rumor has 1t that two men were

on the rampage.

TWELVE BILLION COPIES.
Estimated Circulation of all News
papers of the World.


1t is estimated, says Harper's
Weekly, that the annual aggrega-
ton of the circulation of the news
papers of the world is some 2,OOO,-
100000 copies. To grasp an idea Of
what these figures mean one should
be told that these papers could cover
no fewer than 10,450 square miles
of surface, that they are printed on
7S1,250 tons Of paper and further,
that if the number represented, in
stead Of copies, seconds of time, it
would take more than 333 years for
them to elapse. In lieu of this
arrangement We might press and
Pile them vertically upward to reach
our highest mountains.
Topping all these and even the
highest Alps, the pile would reach
the magnificent altitude of, in round
numbers 500 miles. Calculating that
the average man spends five minutes
in the day reading his paper, very
low estimate, we find that people
of the world altogether consume in
the reading of their papers an
amount of time equivalent to 1907
600 years.
