 Huntsville March 11.-(Special.)- The Oriental Club, an organization that has been doing business here since the first of January. with membership of something over 800. went out of busi- ness today.
 John Varin. manager of the club, was indicted on ten charges of selling liquor in violation of the state and County laws. and when arratgned in couro th.s morning, he pleaded guilty in two cases. Judge Betts assessed fines of $500 Tn each case, nolle pressed five cases and held three on the dockets as guarantee of future good behavior.
 In passing sentence on the defendant, Judge Betts informed him that the pur- pose of the law would be served by the assessing of the fine and without a hard labor sentence. because there is some misconception as to the privileges and rights of the clubs under the pro- hib.tion and dispensary laws.
 The limit of fine and hard labor sentence will be imposed on the next man, club man or boot-legger. who is convicted of violating the liquor laws,

Judge Gould of the District of Columbia has granted an order re-

And the way to get rid of them is to remove the necessity, The way to remove the necessity is to substitute industrial arbitration for industrial war. Un
 til this is done, it is futile to ex- pect that when war is on, the par ties thereto will not resort to war measures. The result of war measures is that not only do the combatants suffer, but the non- combatants also, and in the aggre- gate, most severely.

SIMS ELY FOR AUDITOR

| Sims Ely, private secretary tc Gov. Kibbey, will be the next ter ritorial auditor to succeed Auditor Page, who will take the office o secretary of the territory on Apri '. This appointment was decided upon at the time of the announce. ment of the appointment of Mir Page. It was thought better though, to await the action of tn, senate on the nomination of Mir Page before announcing the selec ton ot his successor. The course of the senate was foreshadoweo yesterday in dispatch from Wash ington stating that the committe. on territories had recommended his confirmation.
 IL was then positively given out that Mir. Ely had been chosen fon duutIOT. A IuilOI tO lldt elISC' had become current within the lasl two days, so that the confirmation of it did not come as great sur. prise.
 The appointment of Mir. Ely will be entirely satisfactory on all sides His long and able service as the private secretary of Governor Kib bey, and his previous connection with the administration of Cover nor Kibbey in the same capacity have brought him into touch witt the duties of the office of auditor His appointment is especially gratifying to the newspaper com muniiy. of which he was formerly distinguished member.
 Concerning the appointment O Mir. Page, there is one man who seems to be dissa tisfed. That il Delegate Smith who did not recal MT. Page. He could not say whether or not he was a residen of the territory, but he said: ". suppose is a Rough Rider" ."-Phoe nix Republican.

THE WOOD PULP SITUATION

Another straw is found in the following bit of information furn- shed directly to this office, says Forestry Magazine:
 A New Engla q paper owned by three men, has been paying an an nual dividend of from $15, GOO to S2O,O0O Print paper had been costing this firm $I g. per hundred pounds Within recent months the price of paper began to rise. When the increase h. gan to lo"k serious the leading "w CT ught out a friend in the pal"r G mrany and expostulated. lie was told that, for friendships S. ke, he would be given some insld.. information in advance, namely, that the p,ice would soon go still higher and that he would do well lo n,a kt one year contract at the txisting price. namely, $25O. This he did, and the price afterward asctnded to $3 and $3.25, settling later at $3
 The increase, however, from Sl S5 to $250 which alone flor friendships sake" this firm was re- quired to endure, cut the annual dividend of its paper $15,0OO. Where the paper would have been. but for its inside information" may be inferred.
 That newspaper men should be interested in the removal of the duty on wood pulp is easily under stood. The suggestion, however, that Canadians may put an export duty on spruce is by no means re- assuring.
 But, duty or no duty, it must never be forgotten that Canadian wood supplies. like American wood supplies. are far from inexhausti- ble. The complete levelling of the tariff wall between Canada and the United States, while it would un- doubtedly relieve, in a measure. the wood situation on this side the line, would relieve it but tempora rily. Under present policies of tim Der slaughter, the Canadian supply would but disappear the more rap idly, and the evil day, for brief day deferred, would again dawn. Whatever may or may not be done with the tariff. one thing is certain. the United States must adopt, and that speedily. rational policy Tor the conservation and use of her timber supply.
