LUMBER AT COST

I have two million feet of yellow pine timber grown on my ranch in Coconino county. My neighbors have several million feet more which I have an option on. I am forming a company to put a saWmill in and cut this timber and put it on the market at actual cost price to the stock holders in this company. Arizona has the largest yellow pine forest in the United States, and the Arizona home builder should have the benefit of it. I can produce all grades of yellow pine lumber at s1250 per thousand on cars at Maine, Arizona, or s17.50 in Phoenix, and will put up a bond that I can do so. Here is the actual cost of producing lumber in Arizona:
 Government stumpage price. ....s $50 Cutting logs .................. 100 Hauling logs to mill 2.5O Saving and stacking. ........... 2.50 Fire insurance on yard. per Wagon haul to railroad. .. 250
 Making $12.50 delivered at railroad
 Fright to Phoenix. on a basis of IS cents per hundred. s4.5O per thou sand.
 Unloading cars, 50 cents per thou sand.
 Making s17.5O for all grades of Ari- zona yellow pine lumber laid down in Phoenix.

He sat up, but Immediately the

Bad Leaders Always to Blame.

Among thousands of union workers,

that Strike Leader Ettor has been
placed, where he is unlikely to cause
any further rioting in the near fu-

almost invariably to blame for out
breaks of any sort in labor difficult
ties. That Ettor is such leader
must be accepted when We reflect
upon some of his utterances to the
hordes of unlettered, passionate and
wrought up followers. On Sunday he
hurled such sentences as the follow

men and women:

The Watterson Wilson Row.

If Governor Wilson is as selfish and
Democrat of the Solid South says he
is, it would, indeed, be a calamity to
elect him to the Presidency. Col.
Watterson declares that the nomina-
ton of such a man as Wilson would
be a party disgrace and disaster.
Col. Watterson is a Democrat of the
old school and the new school, oil
tempered and burned in. He sees
nothing but the best interests of his
party and he believes always that his
party is best served by making ii the
exponent of better things to come.
He would see the best and ablest men
nominated and he despises the man
who puts personal ahead of party in
terests
But whatever may be the result of
the quarrel between Gov. Woodrow
Wilson and those close political
friends who have been building up
his political fortunes, the public will
hesitate to accept man for public
obligations who has been false to
private friendships The public
cannot afford to take chances upon
men who slash the ties of friendship
SO readily to further q personal end

friends will stick 10 him and continue
