Chicago, June 16.-Owners and pub
fishers of daily newspapers holding
membership in the Inland Press As
sociation will patronize the open mar
ket for print paper instead of getting
their material by contract, under a
decision of the association reached last
night. The representative of Ca

would furnish paper at a figure which
the representatives of rival concerns
declared was lower than the cost of
manufacture in the United States.

CARS ON A NEW INTERURBAN
Line Between Winfield and Arkansas
City Formally Opened.

Winfield, Kan. June 16.-The first
passenger car over the new inter-
urban line has arrived here. Expect
ing trip to be made Tuesday after
noon, parties of residents and their
wives and daughters had gone to
Hackney to take the first ride and
had waited with more or less patience
the arrival of the current.
Many delays came and it was night
fall before the cars could run. A
car was run each way to Winfield and
Arkansas City. AS it was, a big crowd
greeted the car when it arrived here.

Earnings

The profits of the first three months
of 1909, when not a share of one stool:
was yet sold, as the offer of stock was
made after the first quarter, were s59.-
600. AS the per cent yearly dividend
on the preferred stock requires $4,000
the profits Of the first three months
were sufficient to pay a full years diyi-
dend on the preferred stock, leaving q
balance of $4,000 On this basis the
years profit would have been $236. 900
Or more than necessary to pay 8 per
cent on the preferred and per cent on
common stocks for one year.
By this one can judge what enormous,
earnings are possible with additional.

concerned the period of risk and declin-
ing tendency is yet to be counted with
and last year there was a reduction of
over sixty-five million bushels from the
June figures to harvest in August. Cash
wheat sales here yesterday were $4,000
bushels. Prices are firmly held and the
milling demand continues. Interior
mills are sure to take all the early Of
ferings from the new crop. Hedging
sales so far amount to little. The for
eign situation is sure to develop
greater demand than usual later in the
season. We see many reasons why it
will be advisable to buy these late
wheat months by picking the oversold
spots in the local trade.
CORN-There appears to be a general
tendency to work for lower prices in
these corn futures. It may do to take
profits on the hard spots or sell some
corn short on the strong swells, but in
view of recent experiences among short
sellers we believe it well to be cautious
about selling short on breaks. The
country is not letting go of corn very
freely.-Logan & Bryan.

The Lonoke county quorum court met last Monday and only a day was consumed in dispatch ing the business before it. This was the largely attributal to the condition of the clerks books which enabled the justices to work without any delay. The results of last Mays election was declared, showing sixteen districts having voted I 1-2 mill tax. 56 districts voting m tax, 1 voting 3 mill and three holding no election A county general tax of , m.. road tax of 3m. and city tax of 5m. were voted. The following app4'oia tion were made: For circuit court, 5000. bridges, S25O0, Justice of the peace, S70O, bridge repairs, $500, public records, S23O., assessors books, 5000. levees and dumps, 5000, rock crusher S4000, paupers, $500, janitor $500, keeper of prisoners, 5000, working convicts $500, demonstration work, S75O.. Confederate Monument, $500 Mrs. T. c. Trimble, Mrs E. o. Griffin and Miss Leila Gatewood appeared before the court in be- l half of the T. c. Hindman Chap ter U. D. C. and asked for an ap- appropriation to assist them in erecting monument for the Confederate soldiers at this place. They had previously raised by their own efforts a nice sum and asked the county to assist, which was cheerfully done. To the amount already in hand they continue to work and add to until the required amount is raised.
