NEW YORK, August 26.-Another period of stress and storm was exper- fenced by the stock market today, On very heavy liquidation prices reacted from to ovor 7ls points, the greatest losses being made by the Harri- man stocks and their affiliated issues.
 Union Pacific sold off to l9s, the low est price in a month, while Southern Pacific suffered correspondingly.
 Sentiment became more bcarish over night and the board had fresh supply of ammunition in the way of pessimis- tic rumors concerning the condition of Hartman. A very large part of the days business was in Union Pacific that stock, for all practical purposes dominating the situation, and margins were thrown over. Conservative esti- mates of the long sales of Union Pacific since the beginning of the week vary from 10000 to 10000. shares, or one fifth to one quarter of the entire trad ing in that issue since Monday.
 Frequent attempts were made to force Union Pacific below 200, but these were unavailing until almost the last hour, when 100 shares came out at l99S and 500 shares k lower. These were soon followed by block of 2,90o shares at l99h.
 United States Steel, which relatively has been the strongest of the half score of issues prominent in the recent rise, aslo reflected heavy pressure.
 From these low prices the list had another brief respite. Union Pacific closed at l9s, break of 2l points from the top recorded price of August It, last.
 Another heavy increase in copper ex- ports was reported.

 'Thc most remarkable increase is shown in the dry farming regions. There are counties in eastern Colorado which will harvest crop this year 300 per cent greater than anything ever brought to the stack before. Much of this phe- nomenal increase is due to the excep. tonally wet season, but much of It. also, is due to better understanding of conditions and more careful prep aration of the soil.
 "In this last statement is aeknowl- edgment of the value of the work of the Dry Farming Congress. This organiza- ton is devoted to inculcating knowledge of methods of agriculture by which non irrigable arid lands can be made productive. The congress has many members in eastern Colorado and we can justly claim credit for giving the infor- nation to the farmers which has en- abled them to prepare their soil for crops and for the better understanding of conditions which has resulted in the remarkable harvest of the present year.

The dead snake was brought out and hung on the fence Next morning it was opened and inside ten lively young snakes were found and dispatched, mak- ing total of eleven that his rifle had brought down. This is a true story, not fiction, and can be proven by the rattles.

RECREATION FOREST FOR FLAGSTAFF
 NEW IDEA
FOREST SERVICE WILL sEGRE- GATE WOODED PLAYGROUND
 FOR MILE-HIGH CITY

PRESCOTT, Ariz., August 26.--For the benefit of the residents of Flag staff, Arz., and in order to provide q small scenic or recreation forest in the vicinity, the forest service plans to set aside permanently an area comprising the canyon running from Schultz s Pass to the county road, and in addition all the timber country west of Eldon and east of Flagstaff. If the plan goes through no cutting will be allowed on the area; it win, however, be patrolled by the rangers to guard against fire. This area is fortunately accessible. and lit may be possible to build additional roads and trails into it. The large pine forests of northern Arizona, are in no way less wonderful than the Petri, fled Forests or the Grand Canyon itself. In recognition of this fact the forest service plans to set aside similar recrea- tion forests wherever they seem war ranted.
 The Pecos national forest in northern New Mexico is visited yearly by many campers, hunters and fishermen and of fers an excellent opportunity for an other recreation forest similar to the one planned near Flagstaff The present examination and estimate of the tim bered resources of the Pecos by the forest service will result in definite recommendations on this subejct. It is hoped 10 find suitable area somewhere along the scenic highway between Las Vegas and Santa Fe.

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS BRIGHT
Tonnage Is Higher But Going in Both
Directions.

Chicago, Ill, July 2S.-Traffic Of
fciaIs of the Western roads report
further increases in tonnage and also
that the prospects are brighter thah
ever. The improvement OF the crop
situation and the further activities in
the iron and steel industry have de-
veloped a heavier tonnage on most or
the roads. The movement of mis-
ceIIaneous tonnage continues to en-
large and inquiry from the interior
indicates that there will be a heavy
consumption of all classes of goods
as soon as the farmers get out of the
fields and market their grain.
Railroads operating east OF chi
cago and st. Louis handled more
business in both directions during
the past week, and, taking everything
into consideration, the showing was
more satisfactory than for some time,
although the gain over the preceding
week is not large. Officials are be-
ginning to get somewhat enthusiastic
over the outlook, as the industrial
activity in the central districts is be-
ing reflected in a large tonnage and
larger earnings. The short haul ton
mage is better, too, and with better
long haul and less empty cars, in
other words, better balanced ton
mage. the present situation and the
outlook is decidedly more encOurag-
ing. Lake ports are giving the roads
more business from the ore districts
of the northwest, and in turn the
roads are furnishing more lake and
rail tonnage, especially the north and
south lines touching Ohio ports.
There is a fair movement of coal,
but the grain tonnage has not yet re-
Elected the marl1etings of new grain
to any great extent. The movement
of provisions was checked by the high
prices but the movement of commO-
dities to the south were about nor

a better balanced traffic.

Further communications received
from Memphis say that Bitter appears
unconcerned about his rearrest. He
willingly told of how he escaped from
the Reno county Jail and his trip to

stayed for several days
There is one thing that Bitter is

vestigation is being made by the
authorities. and several arrests are
promised in connection with Bitlers
notorious escape.
One thing appears rather strange
to the local authorities and that is
that Bitter was arrested without
bIoodshed 1t is known that he was
heavily armed, and a note left by him
on the night of his departure said
that he would never be taken alive.
The only conclusion that can be
reached is that Bitter was either
drunk at the time, or that he was
taken unawares.
Bitter is the convicted murderer of
Mrs. John Rosenberger, of near
Greensburg, Kiowa county. He was
lodged in the county Jail while await
ing the action of the supreme court
on an appeal for a new trial.

The quality of wheat that has been
brought in to the local markets is of
a good quality and many of the farm

BANK EXAMINER REID QUITS.
Job Was Not What He Anticipated by
Long WAYS.

Concordia, kan. July 2S.-Mr Wal

missioner Dolley, resigning his posi-
ticn as deputy bank examiner. Mr.
Reid has served just long enough in
the position to learn that it is a hard
and laborious job, and he says that
his health is not equal to the task
One feature of the job which he
never thought of in taking it, is the
fact that the examiner is required to
take trains at all unseemly hours of
the night in getting from one place
to another to meet the demands on his
time. Mr.. Reid says he now has be-
come too old for that sort of work
and fears that it would soon result in
complete physical collapse and he is
not yet ready to be killed off that way,
therefore he will give up the place
right now and let someone younger
take the place.
