CACTI FOR TELEPHONE POLES
Scheme for a Government Limo In
Arizona Desert Which Is Be-
lieved to Be Feasible.

Sahuara for telephone and tele-
graph poles is the latest idea and one
that Is to be tried out. 1t sounds
plausible and it is believed that 1t
will be more economical than the old
style of poles. Its test is to come
from Arizona.
The government is to build tele-
| phone system for the forestry serv-
ice of the Coronado forest reserve,
The first of these lines to be built
out of Tucson is to be used into the
Catalinas, and 1t is there that the
Sahuara experiment is to be tried.
The giant cacti will not be sawed
off and set up nor will they be trans
planted, but the growing plant will be
used as pole where 1t is found prac-
teal Where they can be found in
what approaches alignment, SO that
the line will not have to zigzag too
much the sahuara up in the canons
through which the line will pass are
to be utilized for the purpose of at
| taching brackets to which the wires
will be fastened. And so the secret Is
out.
Along the proposed line 1t is diff
cult to set poles. owing to the rocky
nature OF the country traversed. Not
only Is this the case, but It is diff
cult to get the poles up there In the
hills to set, while the sahuaras are
right there In many instances. and
while not at a uniform distance this
is not considered important. An
other saving will be that while the
made to order poles will not Dust the
ready made ones, these will be OF
long life and will not demand replen
ishing and replacing from time to
time.

ALMOST PANIC IN WHEAT
Fear of Court Action on Trusts Has
to Do with Unsettling Con-
ditions.

Chicago, Oct. 27-Almost panic
conditions took clutch today on the
market for wheat. Demoralized
stock dealings had the most to do
with the scare but there was also
talk that the government would in
vestigate the alleged manipulation
grains.
Closing prices were weak at a de-
cline of u to 23s and 21a, COM
pared with twenty hours before.
Other cereals fell though not
nearly SO much as wheat, corn Y to
9s cents, oats 20 to Y cent and hog
products to Is and 17h cents
lower.
Fear as to the unsettling effect of
court action against the United
States Steel Corporation made hold
ers of wheat nervous from the start.
A depressing feature was that the
drop in the market failed to stimu-
late any cash wheat demand from
the mills as year ago.
Cold weather as well as the de
moralized security market and the
wheat decline put a weight on the
price of corn. Offers of both old and
new crop supplies from the country
were on the increase. December
varied from 63A and n cents to
63M cents and closed steady Is cents
down at 6315 and * cents,

TRADE IS FAIRLY ACTIVE
Dun's Review Takes an Optimistic
Look at General Conditions in
Country.

New York, Oct. 27--Dun's weekly
review OF trade will say tomorrow
Reports from the principal trade
centers are nearly all satisfactory
showing a fair volume of activity and
in the northwest feeling is that con-
ditions IN that section have fully
recovered from the depressing
effects of last year.
Announcement concerning re.
duced ore freight rates at the north
west is the feature Of chief interest
in iron and steel and is expected to
follow the lowering of ore prices for
1912.
In other directions reimbursement
Of quotations has not been checked
In wire products jobbers obtain wire
nails at SLIGO and plain wire at
$40.
Good orders are placed in some
finished lines. Several sales of pig
iron reported and there is some i'm
provement in the demand for tin
plate and sheet, all included by the
lower range of values.
Bessemer Iron is down to $14.5o,
Valley No. Foundry, $3.50, VAL
ley and Basic Iron, $3.50.
Tin plate is now quoted at $3.40
for 100 pound cakes and No. %
black sheets on the basis of $3.50,
though in the latter it is said that
concessions can be obtained on de-
srable business
Limited stock of dotted goods and
wooden resulted in prompt revival
of demand and inducements are now
offered for increased production.
Favorable prices named on dress
fabrics and mems wear are also in
teresting factors.
Immediate shipment is asked for
and small orders are frequently re-
peated.
Trading in footwear has been
checked to some extent by high quo

HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR HIM
Apparently captor Need Not Have

New York, Oct. 81, 191.

Billy Oswald of the Cleveland out
door relief department was sent up
to Detroit the other day to bring back
a prisoner who had escaped from the
workhouse. Full Of the sense, of his
responsibility, Billy had handouts
slapped ON the man and stuck val
iantly by his side, leaving no possible
chance of escape When an hour out
from Detroit, homeward bound on the
D. C c. boat, the prisoner suggested
that Oswald relax his vigilance.
"Whatchu skeepin these things on
me for?" he asked You don't think
I'm goin' t. Jump over in the middle
of Lake Erie, do you? Can't get away
now"
Billy saw reason In the argument.
released his man from the irons and
gave him leave to stroll about deck
When the boat neared port, however
early next morning, the prisoner
wasn't to be found. Oswald looked the
boat over from engine room to bridge
but In vain. When the boat slid
alongside the dock Billy was the first
man off, stationing himself where he
could see every person coming
ashore.
In couple Of minutes he spied his
man. But he wasn't trying to slip of
unobserved. He came along boldly
Juggling Oswalds baggage in one
hand and his own In the other.
Jaw, there you are!" he sang out
I've been lookin' all over the boat
for you the last half hour"

The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1911-04-14

feated by Herman Bsehr. Republican,
for mayor in 1909
In 1903, while mayor of Cleveland,
johnson ran for governor on the
Democratic ticket and was defeated
by Myron r. Herrick.
Both in his city and state cam"
paigns Johnson was the most spec
tacular campaigner that ever got into
a fight in Ohio In the face of pub
lie criticism he used an automobile
for transportation purposes in his
gubernatorial campaign Automobiles
were not liked then but Johnson saw
the advantages of the motor car and
his Red Devil" became famous. In
his city campaigns he had used big
circus tent for meeting places and he
resorted to the same practice in the
state. He carried full circus crew
with him, even including the press
agent. Johnson's one big card in his
public meetings was a joint debate
and on every possible occasion he
challenged his adversaries TO forensic
combat.
Tom Johnson was absolutely fear
less. He did not know what 1t was
to be afraid of consequences. He
acted largely on first impulses. He
did not hesitate to brand grafters in
his own party as such, and az mat
ter of fact he seemed to take more
delight in Showing up" the failings
of Democrats than of Republicans.
And OF course this practice did not
make him particular strong with a
large number of men within the
ranks OF his own party. Truth to tell,
it was an easy matter to arouse op-
position to measures or men II a
johnson" tag could be affixed to
them.
But Tom Johnson pursued the rocky
path he had set out upon, and his
fights for the people, as he saw them,
continued until i'll health compelled
him 10 desist.
He rad succeeded in securing con
troll OF the Cleveland streetcar lines
through the medium of holding
company, but the people relieved him

of responsibility when they voted
down his franchise propositions. He
had fought for Scent fares and mu-
nicipal control. The lines are now
back in the hands of the original
owners, and 3-oent fare is effective.
Johnson's father was cotton
planter with 100 slaves In Arkansas,
and served ON the stats OF John G.
Breckenridge and Jubal A. Early In
the Confederate army. When the
war closed the family were in Staun-
ton, Va, absolutely penniless," John
son was but IL, but he started in to
retrieve the family fortune, He knew

conductor, rather-that had charge OF
the one and only train that ran to

tanned complete monopoly of the

as there was something doing" in
those troublous days he charged 15
cents for dailies and 25 cents for pic
ture papers, reaping harvest OF real
silver money to the extent OF $S8 in
Ave weeks. That took the whole fam
lily to Louisville, where they were
