THE WOOD FAMINE.

The Lakeview Herald says there
Is an opening for woodward i'm uha'
growing city; that there are thous
ands of acres of timber within few
miles but no systematic method OF
getting wood to the consumer.
There Is a similar business open
ing here in Enterprise. With
abundance of timber suitable for
stove wood only a few miles IRON
town. there Is a wood famine now on
And It Is only the beginning OF WIN
ter. Good wood is not obtainable
at any price, and slabwood Is sou
at double the rate charged a rev
months ago.
This Is all due to the haphazard
manner in which the usual supply is
Furnished. If someone would take
hold of the business and conduct II
In a business-like way, there need
be no shortage at any time of year
Wood could be sold at lower prices
than Is now charged, and a hand
some profit made ON 1t.

NN snowshoes and with spread
legs l led the way. The sleds
" with light loads followed. The
surface vibrated as we moved
along, but the spiked handle of the ice
TX did not easily pass through. For
about two miles we walked with an
easy tread anG considerable anxiety,
but we had all been on similar ice be-
fore and we knew that with a ready
line and careful watchfulness there
was no great danger. A cold bath,
however, in that temperature, forty
degrees below, could have had some
serious consequences. In two crossings
all our supplies were safely landed on
the north shores, and from there the
lead had more picturesque effect.
For time this huge separation in
the pack was a mystery to me. At
first sight there seemed to be no good
reason for its existence. Peary had
found similar break north of Robe
son channel. 1t seemed likely that
what we saw was an extension of the
same lead following at distance the
general trend of the northernmost land
extension.
This is precisely what one finds on
Il smaller scale wherever two ice packs
come together. Here we have the pack
of the central polar sea meeting the
land ice. The movement of the land
pack is intermittent and usually along
the coast. The shadows, grounded ice
and projecting points interfere with
steady drift The movement of the
central pack is quite constant and al
most in every direction.
The tides, the currents and the
winds each give momentum to the
floating mass. This lead is the break
ing line between the two bodies of ice.
1t widens as the pack separates, mar
rows or widens with an easterly or
westerly drift, according to the pres
sure of the central pack. Early in

argument. This young lawyer, young
est prosecutor in the state of Ohio,
made one of the most eloquent, con-
vincing and logical pleas ever made
in the historic old room. He began in
moderate tones. recited the story Of
the crime as told by witnesses, de-
scribed the conditions and the two
men. the dead and the living. His
voice was frequently raised to an
oratorical. pitch as he pounded con-
clusion home to the jury or exploded
n theory OF the defense. Dit by bit he
went into the evidence given by wit
nesses for the accused and showed
the jury what should be believed and
what should not be given credence.
The prosecutor was congratulated on
all hands for his masterful effort.
Throughout his entire address to the
jury the dropping of pin might have
been heard throughout the large
room.
Judge Babsts charge was a lengthy
one and no point or phase of the
case was left untouched upon. At
torneys characterized 1t as being
eminently fair to both state and de-
fendant. The court told the jurors
that the fact that Cubbison used vile
language in addressing Hammer was
not an excuse for Hammers deed;
that it would not have been an excuse

The case is attracting much atten-

ton on the probable verdict. The
OF opinion seems to be that
there is little likelihood of the jury
bringing in a verdict for second de-
gree murder. This is probably based
on the usual attitude of Marion coua-
ty juries in murder trials. Many be-
Iieve that a mansaughter verdict is
the proper guess while others look for
