This would necessitate very heavy assessments on property on the east side of the street and it is doubtful If the own CTS would be willing to settle on that basis. It has been suggested that the street be worked at it's present width and let it go at that, but this proposition does not meet with gen. eral approval and as a consequence the project is being kept in the back ground longer than it otherwise would have been.

 pleted on the Fastnet rock, small pinnacle off the southeast corner of the coast of Ireland, is the most ex- pensive structure of the kind ever erected, having cost no less than s420,000. The rock lies in the direct route for Atlantic shipping passing the south of Ireland, and is thus a danger which 1t is of the utmost i'm portance to light adequately. The new lighthouse displaces the old cast iron tower. This latter was ninety one feet high, and stood on the sum- init of the rock. It was not long however, before it was discovered that the cast iron tower was not sta ble enough to withstand the severe buffeting of the waves to which the rock is subjected. The Fastnet is ex- posed to the full fury of the Atlantic during south and northwest gales. The waves often dashed over the top of the lantern. 173 feet above the normal level of the sea. The granite of which the new lighthouse is built, came from the quarries in Cornwall Altogether 2,074 stones were worked into the structure, ranging from one and three-quarters to three tons each in weight. and representing a total weight of 4.500 tons. The entrance door to the tower is 57 feet inches above high water mark. To keep out the storm the keepers can close the heavy teak door and let down over it heavy gun metal casing.

DOGWOOD AND
PERSIMMON
Valuable and Growing Scarcer
In South. New Sup.
plies West.
DOGwOoD GROWS SEvENTY.FIVE
FEET HIGH OUT IN OREGON.

The supply of dogwood and
persimmon shuttles in the South
ern States is nearly exhausted.
This statement will not appear
significant to the average man
when he first hears it. But
when he is told that the entire
supply of shuttles, bobbins and
snindles used In the cotton and
wooden mills in all parts of the
country is furnished by the dog
wood and persimmon growing in
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 bob
bins, shuttles, and spindles are
Just as necessary parts of these
mills as the throttle is to the To-
c0molive.
Fortunately the shuttle manu-
facturers have found another
source of supply in the dogwood
in the far northwest part of the
country. Two large companies
manufacturing spindles, shut
tleA and bobbins have erected
plants in the Cascades in Or
egon whose dogwood forests
are the greatest in the
world, the tree often attaining a
heighs Of IS feet and diameter
d Sne TO To Q feeteAsThs south
ern dogwood is rarely more than
6 inches in diameter. Extensive
stands of dogwood are also found
in California and Washington.
Up to the present time, lumber
users in the Pacific north vest
ern, have found dogwood value-
less except for fuel, and its utili-
zatIon for the manufacture OF
shuttles will bring about con-
siderable increase in stumDage
values Of this tree.
These companies, at their Ore
gon plants, will not only manu-
facture the articles named but
will utilize every part of the tree
turning to account the waste
wood and producing such by pro-
ducts as pyroligneous acid, acetic
acid, protacetate of iron, acetate
of lime, methylated spirits, SOL
vent naphtha, wood tar, wood
pitch, and various forms of char
coal. Dogwood is indispensable
in the manufacture of shuttles,
bobbins, and spindles because it
is the only wood which takes a
high polish and wears perfectly
smoothe by friction under water.

vile and other points, spending
their hard-earned cash for some
thing that is of no value what
ever to them, but instead a pois-
on and curse. What can these
able. bodied men who have no
homes and no means promise
themselves when old age and
sickness comes on, after having
squandered their means IN re-.
sorts and dramshops. They do
not even deserve as much as
sympathy, and which is of no
material benefit to them in their
hour of sorrow, why not avail
themselves of the present oppor.

ture?
Foreman John Rule, of the
Arnold mine, made, some valu-
able changes in the past week,
extending the motor track about
one thousand yards, thereby saw.
ing the mules an uphill pull of
that distance besides increasing
the facilities of the mine; so we
can look for an increased pro-
duction. Later on he contem-
plates extending the track about
three thousand feet.
Electrician w. w. Umstead
says on account of the extension
of the motor track in the Arnold
mine, he and his crew have had
to extend the trolley wire dis
lance of about three thousand
feet. This distance covers the
new side-tracks caused to be con-
strncted by extension OF main
line. He reports being kept
busy making all necessary re-
pairs and extensions about the
mines and city.
Contrary to the wishes of the
President of the u. M. W., the
miners of Indiana came out on a
strike last week. They had a
general clean. up, removing from
the mines all their tools and
mine clothes, indicating a deter
mination to remain idle until
their demand for higher wages
was granted. And one of the rev.
citations made in connection with
the order to quit work was the
fact that their treasury was in a
depleted condition. Therefore
the men must "root hog or die"
for at least sixty days before re
lief could be given them, and
with 10000 miners idle a great
drain on the reserve fund will be
the result when the cash begins
to flow. For years the union offic-
ials have been making the clam
that they have on hand a million
dollars, from which they can
support all the hired hoodlums
they keep in this and other Wes-
tern Kentucky counties, foster.

And now when TIM frs real test
comes, those who have been con-
tributing TO the fund to feed the
gang of idlers claiming to be or
ganizers, are told they must hun
ger for at least sixty days. And
the probability is that those who
represent the union in this coun-
ty will also find Their rations cut
down to almost the vanishing
point.

Harry Robinson, son of Albert
Robinson, of Herin, Illinois, we
understand has been summoned
as a witness in an important
case to be tried at Madisonville
this week. They we're both mi
ners at this place for years, and
we learn want to come back
again.
One driver In No ii mines, it
is said, handled one day last
week sixty loaded cars, and two
leaders only loaded them. This
plainly indicates that the boys
working underground are hust-
lers and deserve success as well
as praise for the good work they
are doing.
A car breaking down In No. IL
mine last Thursday, caused
wreck which delayed work for
about one hour and a half or the
production of about one hun
dred and twenty tons of coal.
But wrecks on the rail, whether
above or under the ground, will
always occur, no matter how
careful the men in charge are.
Along with a crew of men, Y.
@. Walker made some needed re-
pairs on the track leading from
No. ii tip to the slack washer.
About two hundred tons of slack
is hauled daily over this track
for the coke works, thus the
necessity of keeping the track in
good shape.
Foreman Borders, of Hecla
mine, says the water is fast re-
ceding in that mine since the
break through into No. 3, and it
is evident that the pumps Fore
man Umstead has been constant
ly running is doing good work by
freeing both Hecla and No. 8
from too liberal supply of
water.
Mr.. Rea, weigher at the Ar
mold mine, took advantage of a
lull in business last week and
made visit to relatives and
friends In the Dalton neighbOr-
hood. He reports a nice time
and that farmers in that commu-
nifty are showing some activity
now since the ground is getting
in good condition for farming.
He was accompanied by his wife
and daughter.
A better posted man in regard
to the preservation of forests and
and minerals we are satisfied did
not attend the great meeting
held last week at Washington
than Mr.. j. B. Atkinson, presi-
dent of the st. Bernard Mining
Company, whom, if history gives
him his just due, will be record
ed as the first to show interest in
the preservation of forests In
Western Kentucky.
Foreman Brannon and crew,
who are doing some heavy re-
pairing on the track at Fox Run,
and which we understand will
continue for several months,
travels each day about fourteen
miles, leaving here early each
morning, putting in days
work and then returning home
each evening. This shows what
hardships men will undergo in
order to stay at home with their
family each night, and also save
the exnensa of hoard.

The nomination of William
Howard Taft as the Republican
party's selection for the presi
dency being assured, all the in.
terest now centers on the size of
the vote which will be cast for
him on the first ballot, which
will be the only one.
The preconvention campaign
practically came to an end TO-
day with the last district con-
vention for the election of dele
gates, and the result shows that
the Secretary of War has enough
delegates instructed for him or
pledged through the mediums of
resolutions of preference to make
his nomination as sure as any
thing can be before the votes in
the big convention are actually
counted.
Out of the $50 men who will
sit in the convention, the Taft
column numbers sol, or 100
more than would be necessary
for choice. This does not indi-
cate his entire strength, how
ever. The tables showing the
preferences of the delegates and
giving in detail the facts con-
corning instructions and contests
hides an interesting feature OF
the situation for while the Taft
standard has been advancing
steadily his opponents, collect.
lively and individually, have
been almost at a standstill.
Secretary Taft has many fol.
lowers among the men who will
come to the convention without
instructions. For instance, all
the delegates from the State OF
Delaware are placed in the I'm.
instructed column, which is lit
orally true. Delaware, however,
has been won to Taft within the
last week, largely through the
light that has been seen by SEN
ator DUPONT. There are many
other similar cases, many of the
uninstructed delegates having
expressed only their disposition
to vote for Taft from the start.
All this will 90 to make the
Taft victory all the more signifi-
cant. He really does not need
to win a single delegate among
those who come unpledged, NOR
does he need the votes of any of
the districts and states where
there will be:contests over seats.
His fight is won on the official
returns.

While I have always been republican | firmly

ton if not then it will most certainly be heard
later.
Judge Anderson voiced the sentiment of many
of the republicans of the state who do not consider
themselves bound to the fortunes of the Mormon
tablishment because party leaders have made
reciprocal arrangement with the hierarchy.
There is strong disposition among republicans
to assist the democratic party at the state election

The Woodruff Manifesto.

Woodruff P O.. Idaho, June Is, 1908. To The
Idaho Sci1nitar The news from the Twin Falls
democratic convention is very gratifying to the few
democrats and republicans of Oneida county who
have stood true to the democratic tickets and plat
forms of the last two political campaigns.
If there is poygamy new or old, as the Nor
mons and their friends claim, why in the name OF
common sense do they strenuously oppose any
adverse criticism or mention of the practice in
party platform? 1t is folly to discuss the existence
of new cases of poygamy especially so in Utah, and
the way that democratic Mormons have denounced
the last two state platforms in county conventions
in the southeast section of state, is very strong
evidence that they desire to keep alive faith and
belief in plural marriages.
While writing have before the Woodruff man
ifesto and I read the following: 1T moved by
Lorenzo Snow that recognizing MILFORD Woodruff
as president of the church. etc. and considering him
fully authorized by virtue of his position to issue
the manifesto which had been read to the confer
ence (of some twelve thousand people, and they by
unanimous vote accepted the declaration OF the pres1-
dent concerning plural marriage.
Now then, dear reader any Mormon that will
Gin or out of conventon) defend and strive to keep
alive belief in polygamy condone cases or
sustain men in church positions who have violated
the above manifesto is stutier, and violates
law of his church.
