CANNON TO FIGHT
FOR SPEAKERSH|P

Burlingame, Kan, July 49,
Joseph G. Cannon will not take
himself out of the race for the
speakership Of the next House
of representatives.
This he made plain near the
conclusion of his speech at En-
poria, Kan, this afternoon. He
said he would abice by the will
of the Republican caucus, If the
Republicans control the next
Congress, but that no "maga-
zines" could make him say he
would not be candidate.
In other words, he said, he
would not make an effort to win
the speakership, yet the empha-
sis with which he spoke made it
plain that if the Republican eau
Gus should nominate him he
would be to serve.

STATE LOSES IN
BRICK CONTRACT

The decision of Judge Marti-
neau was given Tuesday after
noon in the suit of the State of
Arkansas VS.. Arkansas Brick
and Manufacturing Company, in
which he holds that the brick
company is not due the State
anything on account of the fact
that the State had not furnished
the company the 800 convict
laborers as agreed in the contract
and wasthereby damaged in ex-
cess of what the brick company
was due the State.
The State sued the brick COM
pany for SIT, 723 as a balance due
on conyicts worked for the first
twelve days on January, 1909,
and the brick company claimed a
setof of 81, 723, which was paid
in cash. But the brick company
also set up the contention that
the State had agreed to furnish
as many as 300 men every day,
and that Notwithstanding insis-
tent demand was made at all
times that number of men was
never furnished, and they claim
ed that they were damaged in
the sum of 100000 because of
the failure of the State to fur
nish the men according to con-
tract.
Because the State cannot be
sued in any court the brick COM
pany could not bring suit to es-
tablish it's claim, and therefore
used it as setoff against the
claim of the State. The court
did not fix the amount the State
owed the brick company because
it could not be collected in any
event. but he held that the State
was due the brick company rather
than the brick company due the
State.

PESTS OF THE SEA.

A very handsome reward in the shape
of gratitude, if not in something more
substantial, awaits the man who discov-
ers some effectual method of destroying
dogfsh, the pests of fishermen, particu-
larIy along the south shore of Nova Sco-
tia.
The Yarmouth fleet, says the Ameri-
can consul at that place, would formerly
go out 20 to 40 miles and with three or
four days good fishing weather would
return with $500 to 5000 worth of good
fish. This year they are out fully a
week and are lucky to return with half
that amount.
The dogfsh fare sumptuously every
day on cod, haddock, mackerel and lob
sters. They eat the bait and escape.
They destroy the fishing gear. They
are the plunderbund Of the sea. They
are unanimous for special privilege.
For the benefit of landsmen who don t
know offhand exactly what dogfish is
these facts from friendly cyclopedia
are furnished: Dogfsh is the popular
name for small sharks and they are so
called because they follow their prey
like dogs hunting in packs. Their body
is long and tapering, their snout conical,
their teeth in both jaws sharp-edged and
formed for cutting. They are from three
to four feet long and they weigh from 10
to Is pounds.
The only thing that can be said in favor
OF the dogfish is that it may be proitably
turned into excellent oil and fertilizer
substances, but the supply exceeds the
demand of the rendering works. But
that is small compensation for the de-
struction Of food ish.-Boston Globe.

percentage in the process of combustion
in the kilns is very high. The promoters
OF this proposition propose to collect this
gas and harness its energy. This means
fuel for generating all the power and
light they will need in their operations
as we'll as having great quantity to sell.
Fuel is reasonable at the kilns, So. rs a
cord, and the same rule applies to labor
and barrels There is much of an at
tractive nature in the proposition.
This much has had to do with the West
Warren holdings. The same applies to
others in Union, Hope and Lincolnville.
1t is planned to establish marble quarry
on the Union property, which is excep-
tlonally fine and convenient to the rail-
road also. In fact, the advantage in the
matter of transportation and the attitude
of the railroad officials makes the project
more feasible still.
On the property obtained from C. M.
Walker of Union is a veins, 600 feet long
and more than 100 feet wide, which would
indicate an immense deposit. 1t is we'll
also to say in this connection that the
tract secured by this corporation is the
only one of like character in New Eng
land aside from that in Lee, Mass, re-
ferred to before.
These lodges crop out and are visible
to the eye of the layman. Excavation is
unnecessary. The kilns at West Warren
are in operation also and the vast depths
Of the quarries is another instance of the
quantity and quality of the stone.
Mr.. Carper has drafted a schedule of
what is necessary from his standpoint as
an engineer. He plans for ten kilns to
cost $75, 900, trans to cost $4,000, build
ings $40, 900, tools and machinery, $751;
600, property $50, 900, marble mill $27, 900.
This comes well within $4,000 The par
value of the stock is set at $500 and the
plan is to issue common and preferred
