MAY HAVE TO PAY FINE.

Washing ton, D. e. Jan 22.--Un- der the law regulating the cast ing of the electoral vote for pres ident and vice-president there are about dozen men of more or less distinction from as many states who are, just now taking chances of having fines of $1,OOO each imposed upon them.
 They are the messengers who had been selected to bring to Washington the votes cast at the last election. The law requires that each state shall forward two copies of it's vote, one by mes senger and the other by mail.
 The votes of all States except Arkansas Mississippi and North Carolina have been deposited by their respective messengers.
 The fact that the ballots were delivered there properly, will not prevent counting the vote.
 Mississippi is the only State whose vote has not arrived, eith- . CT by mail or messenger
 It is stated here that the re port has been sent by mail aIs re : quired by law, and that it should now be in the hands of the proper authorities. The returns required to be filed with the Federal court were received yesterday by Judge Trieber of the Eastern Dis trict, and he says there is no pen. atty attaching to any one for failure to transmit the vote by mail, as claimed in the above dis patch.

HUNTSVILLE BANK CLOSED.

Yesterday the Merchants & Farmers Bank at LeWisville. Ark. closed it's doors. This action has been the result of charges of ar son recently brought against the
 cashier MT. J. 0. Smith. Mr Smith resigned from the bank several days ago, but the directors deemed 1t advisable to close the institution down for the present, at any rate.
 Mr. Smiths friends in this city and elsewhere are still confident that he will be able to establish his. innocence of the charge which has been preferred against him.

 some 10 per cent of that in the aria and semiarid regions) is used for irh] gation; perhaps , per cent is used fd navigation and less than per cent fol power. The freshets are attended by deI structive soil erosion. The soil matt1 annually carried into lower rivers ana harbors or into the sea is computed s1 7S0.O00,OO0 tons. Soil wash reduces e| 10 to 20 per cent the productivity dl upland farms and increases channej cutting and bar building in the rivers| The annual loss to the farms alone Fl $o00,OOO,OOO, and large losses follow the fouling of the waters and the O1 minished navigation of the streams

$500 CLOCK.

Mir. Louis Heilbron has install ed a very large fine clock on the sidew ak in front of his jewelry store on West Broad street which, in the absence of the much needed town clock will fill a long felt want and prove a great con- venience to the public.
 The clock stands about fifteen feet in height and cost $500 in Chicago. It has best Howard works, and double dial thus en- abling persons on either end of Broad street to learn the hour at any time of the day.

Speaking of the nations cultivable area. the report declares that there has been a slight increase in the average yield of our great staple farm prod ucts. but neither the increase in acre. age nor the yield per acre has kept pace with our increase in population. Within q century we shall probably have to feed three times as many people as now, and the main bulk of own soil We have now nearly 6,OOO- GOO farms, averaging 146 acres each, but only little more than two-fifths of the area of continental United States is under cultivation. The United States can grow the farm products needed by population more than three times as great as our country now con talns, but we must greatly increase the yield per acre.
 The greatest unnecessary waste of our soil is preventable erosion Second only to this is the waste, nonuse and misuse of fertilizer derived from ami mals and men. Other great causes of ioSS are uue 10 injurious mammals, plant diseases and insects. Most of these farm losses are preventable.
 The present public land laws as n whole do not subserve the best inter- ests of the people. Title to the surface of the remaining nonmineral public lands should be granted only to actual homemakers.
 Next to our need of food and water comes our need of timber declares the report. The preservation by use under the methods of practical forestry of all public forest lands either in state or federal ownership is essential to the permanent public welfare. Effec- tive and immediate cooperation by pri- vate enterprise, state ownership and federal ownership is needed if the pub lie interest is to be subserved. By req sonable thrift we can produce con- stant timber supply beyond our present need and with 1t conserve the useful ness of our streams for irrigation, wa ter supply. navigation and power.

ELECTION COMMITTEE BUSY.

Little Rock Jan. 22.-The Sen ate Committee on Elections is now very busily engaged on the Boles Holland contest from Se- bastian county, which was filed with the committee yesterday. There are 12OO pages of written testimony in the case, which must be threshed out before the oral testimony can be taken up by the committee. It will prObab- ly be over a week before this is gone over thoroughly by the committee. Tom Boles, the Re- publican claimant for the SebaS- tian county senatorship, has been here for the past ten days and ill remain until his case has been finally disposed of by the committee. He will be represent ed by attorneys as soon as the committee will receive them.
 When the Boles contest is out Of the way the committee will continue it's work On the Greave , Sumpter contest from Garland and Montgomery counties. This contest will keep the committee digging away for several weeks more, and unless premptory, dis missal is the order of business, it will take the greater portion Of two months to hear both con- teotS.

INVENTORY OF
 COUNTRIES RESOURCES Commission Tells How They
 Should Be Conserved.

In forwarding to the president the commission Clifford Pinchot chairman of the commission. says the entry of the conservation movement into the field of definite constructive work is accomplished by the authorization of a joint committee on cooperation, to be composed of six members of the state conservation commissions and three members of the national conservation commission, with it's chairman and secretary. This committee is to devise ways and means for effective co-opera- tion between all forces working for the conservation of national resources. Mir. Pinchot takes occasion to recog- niZe the work of the secretary of the commission, Thomas R. Shipp, and the secretaries of the four sections of wa terS, forests, lands and minerals, Messrs. W. J. McGee, Overton w.. Price, George w. Woodruff and J. A. Holmes, respectively, without whose services, together with the government experts, the making of the national in- ventory would have been impossible. The five secretaries sign the report with him.
 The report of the commission Is de- voted mainly to an inventory of the country's resources in minerals, lands, forests and waters, closing with sec tion on national efficiency
 The mineral production of the Unit ed States for 1907 exceeded $2.OOO GOO, GOO and contributed @ per cent of the total freight traffic of the country. The waste in the extraction and treat ment of mineral products during the same year wGs equivalent to more than $3OO,OOO,OOO. The available and easily accessible supplies of coal fin the United States aggregate approximately 1.4OO,OOO,OO0y0OO tons. At the present increasing rate of production this SUD- ply will be so depleted as to approach exhaustion before the middle of the next century. The high grade iron ores the only iron ores available for use under existing conditions) cannot pC NAISNtCu lo ittot ptyOIu tDc of the present century. The same is true of the petroleum supply. The SUD- ply of stone, clay, cement, lime, sand and salt is ample, while the stock of the precious metals and of copper, lead, zinc, sulphur, asphalt, graphite, quicksilver, mica and the rare metals cannot well be estimated, but is clear ly exhaustible within one to three cen turies unless unexpected deposits are found.
 The consumption of nearly all our mineral products is increasing far more rapidly than our population. A stray gleam of light in the otherwise gloomy mineral situation is seen in the fact that while the production of coal is increasing enormously, the waste and loss in mining are diminish ing. There is urgent need of greater safety to the mler The loss of life through mine accidents. Is appalling. Stress is laid on the assertion that four-fifths of the countrys fire losses, or an average of S1 1,000,O0O day, could be prevented if the precautions taken in Europe were adopted here.
