PAID THEM TO

The last bale of cotton i'll the Faulkner County warehouse, some of which has been in storage for a year and half, has now been sold and the warehouse is empty of the staple for the first time since it was erected. The few hundred bales remaining have just been shipped, w. B. Stark of the Lesser- Goldman Cotton Go. buying most of the lot. The average price paid was 10 cents, which enabled the holders to pay their storage charg- es and still make nice profit over the price they could have obtained when tie cotton was first stored.
 Up to today, 23,497 bales of cot ton have been shipped from the local station, according to the

TO CELEBRATE
 4TH ON THE 9TH

The fact that the fourth of July occurs on Sunday this year will not prevent the annual celebration of St. Joseph's Catholic church, which was so successfully launch ed in this city last year. The pro- motors of the affair state that the success of last year will be mag ni6ed this year, but the celebra ton will be held on Monday, July 5, although it is possible that this date may be later changed to Sat urday July 5.
 The new fair grounds will be used for the picnic and fl it is pos sible for the race track to be ready by that time several races will be put on the program. The commit tee is already beginning the invita- ton of speakers, in order that the very best may be secured before accepting other invitations.
 The proceeds of the picnic go to the support of St. Joseph s orphan age at Little Rock, this method of raising money being used ill many parts of the state.

SUES RAILWAY
 FOR S5O,OO0

The largest damage suit ever filed in Faulkner county was brought in the circuit court today by John NJ. Church, as next friend of K. C. Cranford, who sues the s.. Louis, Iron Mountain & South ern Railway Co. for $50, GOO damages.
 The plaintiff alleges that Cram ford, who was in the employ of the defendant company as brakeman, was struck in the head by a beam on a bridge near Hartman, Ark. while standing on top ol the cars, in the discharge of his duties. The bridge, the plaintiff claims, was too low for a person standing on top of a car to pass underneath, and there was o.warning sign or other notice to the employe as to its condition. The complaint states that Cranford s skull was fractured by the blow and that as a result of 1t he has since Eecn of unsound mind, and burden upon his wife, who also has one child to support.

Bullock was elected i'll the special election and Hogins refused to turn the office over to him. He declared the council had filled the vacancy and for that reason there was no vacancy and the election was irregular. A commission was issued by the governor to Bullock and he made demand for the ot- flee. It was not surrendered and the matter went into the local court where Bullock secured a decision but not the office, as Hogins gave a supercedeas bond and took an appeal. The transcript of appeal was filed in the supreme court yes terday afternoon.

Poisoning Squirrels and Gophers

Interesting results have Just
been announced by the Forest
Service as a result of the cam
paign conducted in Southern Cal
ifornia by Stanley E. Piper, Elk
pert of the Biological Survey of
the Department of Agriculture,
to eXterminate ground squirrels
and gophers.
Extensive experiments were
tried to determine the best means
of killing off these destructive
little animals, and it was found
that most effective results were
obtained by using poisoned green
or ripening barley heads. The
squirrels are exceedingly fond of
this green heritage, and eagerly
ate the poisoned food placed along
their runways. Tests were made
with oats, wheat, barley, raisins,
prunes, dried apples and cracked
corn, but these did not prove so
successful.
While green barley proved
most successful for poisoning
ground squirrels, yet the difficult
ties of procuring Il sufficient sup
ply in all localities led TO dried
barley grain being tried. The
grain was traated with strychnine
saccharine, and eggs,
aud although this combination
proved very destructive to the
squirrels, it had practically no eff
feet upon doves and quail. In

More Beautiful Lawns.

Saratoga is beginning to look
up IN the matter of lawns and
flower gardens. The latest candi-
dates in this line are Cashier
Broadhurst and bookkeeper Fred
Clark. They both began with
barren, unsightly plots of ground
this spring, but with hard work
and much planting and watering
they now have beautiful yards,
that promise to become very at
tractive in the future. Their lawns
show what can be done with APP
parently the most unsightly and
unpromising plots of ground.

there was no more. Let us hope
that they will have a lot of it the

A Million and a Hall Pieces

The drive of the Carbon Timber
Company passed thru town with
the large timber drive Monday
and Tuesday. This drive contains
no less than a million and a half
pieces of timber, ties, mining
props, and saw logs, all bound for
Fit. Steele. 1t will take from
three weeks to a month for this
drive to reach its destination.
About 100 men r employed on
the drive and the camp of these
men, pitched in the north part of
town, looks like a village of tents.
A large number of teams and
horses are employed to assist in
the drive. The high water fioated
much of the timber out and scat
tered it in the willows and on high
banks and deposited it on islands,
high and dry. These ties and
timbers have to be carried and
hauled and snaked to the water
and thrown in so it will float on
down to its destination. The
scarcity of snow and consequent
low water last year prevented the
company from getting but a small
portion of its timber, cut and
banked in the mountains, down to
the river. Hence the very large
drive this year.

fact, a deliberate attempt was
made to poison these birds at
their watering places, but no bad
effect resulted. The poisoned
grain was also used in fields graz
ed over by sheep and produced no
ill effects whatever.
The experiments also proved
that gophers are partial to raisins
and dried apples, and these were
successful used in the poisin ex-
periments. 1t was found that
by sprinkling the apples or raisins
with the strychnine solution, as
effective results were produced as
could be obtained by inserting the
poison into the fruit.
The experiments for extermina-
ton of squirrels also resulted in
the death of considerable num-
Der of rabbits, and it was found
that poisoned oats proved very eff
fective in killing both jacks and
cottontails. Green alfalfa was
also used with good results for
them.

Walcott Copper Mining Co.

In a recent issue of the sun
mention was made that the Wal
colt Copper Mining Co., had leas-
ed a first class hosting plant and
that it would be installed at the
Company's mine on Elk mountain
in a short time. The plant men
toned was the one used at the
Dewey mine. This plant has been
moved to the Elkhart mine and is
now being assembled preparatory
to beginning sinking on the mine
W. @. Sammons, president of
the company, left yesterday MORN
ing for the mine and will super
intend the construction of a shaft
house and bunk house for the ac-
commodation of the machinery
and workmen. The timber for
these buildings is now being got
ten out and prepared for their
construction. 1t is believed that
they will be ready to begin work
in ten days or two weeks in sink
on the shaft which is now down
over 10 feet, The company plans
an active campaign of develop
ment this coming fall and winter
and it is believed that when
spring opens in 1910 that they
will be able to show "A lead equal
in extent and richness with that
now being worked in the Elkhorn
shaft.

Talk on Automobile

Are you interested in automo-
biles? If so read this.
A ranchman without al auto
mobile is as far behind as the
farmer who uses the scythe instead
of an up-to-date mower.
The Auto of today is no longer
a rich mans pleasure or the Joy
riders instrument of self destrnc-
ton. Both have served their pur-
pose toward perfecting the ma
chine for the use to which they
are now being put. The wealthy
class bought all cars the different
makers turned out and thus pro-
NOTED the experiments. The Joy
rider demonstrated its weak
points, and now at the present
time and you might say for the
past three years, these ars have
been practically and successfully
built and are now perfected for
the people who need them-Ihe
Farmers and Ranchmen.
The past two years more cars
have been placed in the rural dis
tricts than in the cities. Nearly
all of the farmers from Maine as
far west as Nebraska own and
operate their own cars. MOI only
for going to town but to saw wood
run corn grinders, grind stones,
pump water and run churns and
how many other things they are
used for would make a small book.
The Auto World states that
two-thirds of the cars sold in 1910
will be to the farmers and ranch
men of the Middle-w west and West.
The Auto has come to stay and
is now turning revnue to the poor
man rs well as luxury to the veal
thy.
You might as well come out of
it and have a machine. You are
just as able to buy n now as a
year from now and in that time
you can save the cost in work and
quick transportation.
A volumn could be written in
an interesting manner, on this
subject. Next week | will follow
this up and if you are interested
you may get some information.
But remember GOOD machines
are getting higher, not cheaper,
every year. Cheap machines are
getting cheaper and are high at
any price. ID. 5. Crawford

RUNAAyS
CD OVER
BANK
FRIGHTENED TEAM AFTER
WILD RUN DOWN PACIFIC
AVENUE PLUNGES OVER
BLUFF NEAR COMMERCIAL
DOCK BRIDGE.
HORSES ESCAPE WITH
ONLY SLIGHT INJURIES

A heavy team owned by the
Clark Livery company, after a six
block run, dashed over the side
walk railing and plunged down
the twenty-five-foot embankment
just below the Commercial dock
bridge on Pacific avenue north at
noon today.
The team, attached to a WOOD
wagon, was left united near the
Clark office on Twelfth and A
streets. Both horses are young
and not thoroughly accustomed to
city work. They became frighten-
ed at another wagon near by and
started off on a gallop.
Rushing down Pacific avenue at
terrific speed they luckily lodged
score of rigs and autos standing
by the curbing and not until they
reached Seventh street was any
effort made to stop them.
Here Officer Ballou grabbed for
the reins of the runaways but
caught a strap attached to the
harness and all his pulling was OF
no avail.
Reaching the Commercial dock
bridge one horse attempted to go
on east across the bridge and the
other pulled straight. down the
avenue. This forced them to the
railing and both animals cleared
it with one leap, dragging the
wagon with them.
The horses landed in the soft
dirt at the foot of the bank while
the wagon hurdled clear over
them. Neither of the horses was
seriously hurt and the wagon was
not badly damaged. Twenty-Five
feet of sidewalk railing was torn
down by the wagon as it As
dragged over.
The drivers name is John CAL
lahan.
