Fine Timber is Necessary.
Kansas City Star.
The civilized nations of the
world strike 100000 matches
every minute of the twenty-four
hours. Nearly one-half of
these are ignited in this country:
Americans use up the enor-
NOUS total of 100000, 100000 a
year and . have a larger match
bill than any other nation in
the world.
Hundreds of factories over
the country, are engaged in
this industry. Some of
the plants are very large.
One on the Pacific Coast cover
ing 24O acres, with thirty-two
miles of railroad which supply
the match machine with 20O,-
900 feet of sugar pine and yell
low pine logs a day.
A statement of the number
of cubic feet of wood which
actually is converted into
matches each year would con-
vey only an inadequate idea of
the number of trees required
for the industry. For the
manufacture of the match the
best grade of wood is necessary.
Sapwood knotty or crossgrain-
ed timber will not do. This
makes it necessary to search
the best forests and pick out
the choice trees only, and moth
ing but the choice portions of
the choice treesgo to the match
machines. 1t may be seen that
the lumberman sweeps over a
wide area in search of suitable
timber to feed into the match
machines.
Seldom is the little splinter
tipped with sulphur, or some
other substance to be ignited by
friction, given even scant men
ton in the consideration of the
depletion of the worlds finest
forests, yet the manufacturers
of these little fire sticks are as
much concerned over the tim
ber supply question as any
other class of men engaged in
an industry whose welfare de-
pends on the use of forest prod
ucts.
1t might be supposed that be-
cause matches are small the
makers of them would utiliz'
scraps and left,overs. This i
never the case; matches are no
by-products. The match ma
chine takes the finest timbe
and what it rejects goes to tn
by-product yard, and the by
product end of the match bus
ness becomes the largest end {
, far as bulk is concerned

Phillipsburg, N. j., Jan. 15-One of
the most sweeping injunctions ever
granted against labor organizations in
this state was issued today by Chan
cellor Magic, at Trenton, on petition
OF the Standard Silk company, whose
employees are on strike. The injunc-
ton is temporary, but goes into eff

y The Injunction restraints the Silk
Weayers and Twisters association and
local Mo. 661, United Textile Work
ers of America, the Bachelors club,
a local association, and more than one
hundred people in and out Of the un-
ions, from causing or attempting to
cause by threats or offers of money
to pay the expenses, or to offer any
other inducements or persuasion what
ever to cause any employe of the mill
to break his contract with the com

will, or lettering or picketing on the
streets near the mill. or on the strets
OF the town along which it is neces-.
sary for employees Of the mill to pass
on their way to or from their work.
The Injunction puts stop to all
threats and intimidations or violence
to persons employed or those likely to
be employed by the company, and pre-
vents the strikers and their friends
from interfering with any tradesmen
or storkeeper doing his business with
the Standard company or it's employees
or interfering with clearinghouse

| officers in the prosecution of the vio-
lation of the prohibition laws.
Attorney General McCue, it will be
remembered, at the beginning of his
term, gave notice by special comimuni-
catios to all states attorneys, and
through the press of the state, that it
would be the policy of the attorney
generals department to prosecute
vigorously all violations of law, and
prosecuting officers everywhere were
urged to be active. Assistant Attor-
ney General Miller, being especially
assigned to the prosecutions in this
district, got busy and thereby natural
ly incurred the displeasure of all law
breakers, and especially the complain.
ant in these disbarment proceedings
who was not an advocate of law en-
forcement and who claimed the cases
brought against him last spring dem
onstrated the fact that he had been
singled out in particular when others
had been overlooked in similar Of
lenses.
The activity of States Attorney Pat
terson, especially in the cases against
E. G. Patterson, which, however, were
dismissed at the instance of a grand
jury in this county, naturally also
incurred the displeasure of the gen.
tleman, who Immediately preferred
charges against the prosecuting Off
Ger, and the finding Of the state bar
association committee is the result.
In his request for an investigation of
the charges preferred under which he
aimed at the disbarment of Messrs.
Patterson and Miller, charging them
with gambling, the frequenting of
blind pigs and unprofessional con-
duct, guaranteed all of the expenses
of the investigation, and In this he
made good at least to the extent Of
$500, which the committee called for
before the hearing, SO the taxpayers,
luckily, have not been burdened by
the expense of this investigation.

HER GOLDEN BALL.
An Incident of Revolutionary Times on
Long island.

b.
Probably no game Of ball by pro-
fessional or college team was ever
watched with such inner interest,
but with such outward Indifference, as
one described in Gertrude Vanderbilt's
Social History Of Flatbush." It hap
pened in Revolutionary times. when
the British soldiers were stationed on
Long Island. The inhabitants had
hidden their valuables in all possible
places. One lady concealed some gold
coins in ball shaped pincushion Of
the kind worn by the Dutch housewife,
suspended at her side.
She was sitting sewing one day when
party Of British soldiers entered the
room. A young officer. spying what
to him was a novelty, cut with his
sword the ribbon by which the cushion
was hung and began game Of ball.
Soon the rest Of the company joined
the sport. Boisterously from hand to
hand the ball was batted to and fro.
It was roughly snatched and tossed.
and sometimes it fell into the ashes Of
the fireplace and barely escaped con-
aagration. Now and again a soldier
would catch it on the tip of his sword
and send it spinning on with rent
In its side.
Every moment threatened to reveal
the precious contents. To show the
least anxiety was to betray the secret,
and the owner was forced to sit un-
moved. apparently intent on her work.
and to see her fortune flying through
the air at the mercy Of the enemy. At
last the cushion. torn and battered. but
still guarding its treasure, was return
ed to its mistress. and the intruders.
tired of their play. left the house.

DISBARMENT PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST PATTERSON-MILLER|
The State Bar Association Committee Appointed by the
Supreme Court Reports That the Testimony
Does Not SubSdnidte the Charges
Thew Examined Number Of Witnesses and Recommend
That the Case Brought at the Instance Of
E. G. Patterson Be Dismissed

The special committee that was
named by the State Bar association
to inquire into the charges that were
filed by e. G. Patterson of this city
against States Attorney A. T. Patter.
son and former Assistant Attorney
eneral Andrew Miller, filed its report
with the supreiLecoutr Wednesday,
recommended the dismissal of the
charges and the dropping of further
proceedings in the case. The COM
mittee reported that the testimony
taken did not substantiate the
charges made or any of them, and
recommended that the case be dis
missed.
The members of the committee
were Herman Winterer of Valley
City, r. M. Pollock of Fargo, and P.
G. Swenson of Hillsboro, who was
named in place of N. C. Young, the
regular member of the bar associa-
ton committee. The report is sign
ed by the three members of the COM
mittee and was filed with the court
Wednesday afternoon.
The committee met in the city last
week and septn several days
hearing evidence in the case
No subpoenas were issued and the
appearance of witnesses was volun-
tary. Oaths were not administered
and the testimony was not taken
down, SO that there is no testimony
reported to the court.
Under this report from the bar as
ISOLATION committee, it is unlikely
that there will be any further pro-
ceedings in the case.
The findings Of the committee wree
not unexpected as 1t had been genera
ally believed that the motive behind
the charges were prompted by a spir-
1t OF revenge and as sort of back
fire against these gentlemen, who have
been doing their duty as prosecuting
