err Paid Dividends.

Chicago = Although it sold $780,
100000 worth of farm implements,
the international Harvester company
of America last year made only $780,
600 in profits, or fifteen hundredths of
l per cent, said R. C. Haskins, the
president, who testified before spe-
cial examiner in the governments suit
to dissolve the corporation.
Questions were asked by the govern
ment attorney to show that the Inter-
national Harvester company of Amer
lea was merely the selling agent of
the international Harvester company
of New Jersey, and that the latter
company was to make all the money.
els it not your object to buy from
the New Jersey corporation at such a
price as will enable you to sell SO that
you will have neither loss nor proft?''
asked Edwin P. Grosvenor, special as
sistant attorney general.
"Our object is to buy as cheaply as
we can and to make as much as posi-
BILE. We try to buy from the New
Jersey company at prices we would
get from any other company" replied
Haskins.
"But you never have paid divi-
dend?"
"No, we never have"

Aviators Prove Value in Great Mill
tary Maneuvers in France.
Paris-The French army maneuvers,
which began on September Il in Tour
aine and Potion, and in which 120, 900
soldiers participated, were concluded
with a grand battle in which the en-
tire front of the defending army,
headed by General Marion, successful
ly held the superior forces Of the
enemy in check until the arrival of re-
Inducements.
President Fallieres witnessed the
battle travelling from point to point in
an automobile.
The great feature of the mimic war
was the flying scouts, who in few
hours were able to accomplish work
that the cavalry would take days in
doing. The military aviators were
able to unmask every position and TO
keep the respective commanders fully
informed regarding the movements OF
the opposing forces. Bicycle scouts
also proved useful.

MILLIONS FOR TIMBER BONDS.
100000 Invested in Western
Securities This Year.

Portland - More than SIP, 900, 900
has been brought from Eastern money
centers and invested in timber bonds
since January l, according to a state
nent made before the Portland Realty
board by Theodore B. Brown, Of
Brown & Brown, timber bond brokers.
This new capital was invested in bond
ing propositions, nearly all of which
are in Portland territory.
"The business of floating bonds on
standing timber has reached big pro-
portions during the past few years, !"
said Mr.. Brown. "The ability to real
ize on standing timber by the bonding
method has been of great benefit to
the Northwest. AS a result operators
have been able to continue the logging
industry to advantage. Hundreds of
men have been given employment and
the development of this section has
been generally aided.
Oregon and Washington timber
bonds are now in favor with Eastern
capitalists. On account of the eff
cient patrol of the forests, danger
from fires has been reduced greatly,
thus providing better security for tim
Der bonds"

Hungarian Parliament is Scene Of
Unprecedented Uproar.
budapest-The Hungarian parlia-
ment' which began its opening session
wednesday, was the scene of a free
hight between the police and the der-
uties. The violence was unprecedent-
ca and the din of trumpets, motor
norns and cowbells continued all day
long.
Count Stephen Tisza, president of
the lower house, who was jeered from
the moment he entered the chamber.
surrendered the chair at 8 o'clock to
Vice President Boethy, but the uproar
ala not abate. At 4 o'clock a strong
force OF police entered the building.
Count1 Tisza, who was in the lohhv
said he would summon them into the
chamber itself if necessary. This
eventually was done.
Inc commandant Of police called
upon Individual opposition deputies to
leave the house. About 100 gathered
IN the center of the chamber. while
their leaders, Count Apponyi and
Count Itchy, stood in the panpwavs
and were Joined there by Count An
Grassy and Count Semsey, who are not
affiliated with any particular party
All attempts to induce them to leave
peaceably failed. When the police
advanced to expel them fierce struq
gle ensued.
In some cases it required six police
men to remove one legislator. One of
the arms of deputy was nearly
pulled from its socket. Count Karo-
lyi, who has had several experiences
OF the kind, struck out like mailman
and succeeded in freeing himself from
the police at the door. He rushed
back and fell fainting on bench.
After a prolonged struggle only
Count Apponyi and ID deputies were
left. The count told the commandment
that they would leave voluntarily if
the police went first. This was done.

Bingham, Utah-Forty-five hundred
men employed in the copper mines
here laid down their tools Thursday
morning, after the operators refused
to meet their demands for an increase
in pay of 80 cents day. Every mine

their demands have been granted.
Shots were fired when deputies
marched to the mines to draw the
fires. A striker was shot by deputy
at another point.

FederaIs Only II Mics Away Nine
Hours Before Camp Falls.
Douglas, Ariz.-Ines Salasar and
his rebel band captured FL Tigre, the
American gold mining camp, twice
attacked by him, Monday forenoon at
IL o'clock. In the fighting before the
defenders Of the camp were defeated
seven federals were killed and dozen
were wounded. Only one American
was wounded. He was Gilbert Nc
Neill. His wound is not serious.
The rebel loss could not be learned.
Only meager details of the taking Of
the town were received, and the news
did not come until night.
Telephone communication was re-
stored long enough to inform the off,
cials here that the town had been
taken and that no Americans had been
killed or seriously hurt. Rebels looted
the store of the company, taking
about $40, 900 worth of goods, and
the main body started in the direction
of Nacozari, small band being left
in the camp.
The valuable plant Of the Ell Tigre
company was not molested. Federal
reinforcements for the Ell Tigre gar
rison were at point IL miles from
the camp nine hours before the cap
ture of the town, but they never ar

HUGE SALE OF
PUBLIC TIMBER
Slerra Forest Opened to Lum-
Der Companies.
California Firm Buys SOC, ooo, 900
Feet = Growth Will Replace
Small Percentage Used.

Washington, D. C.-Final arrange
ments for the sale Of 800, 900. 600 feet
OF government timber to the Sierra
sugar Pine company, q California cor
pofation, will shortly be concluded in
San Francisco by Chief Forester
Henry S. Graves, who is due to arrive
there on September %.
The timber, which stands in the ST.
ezra national forest, has already been
awarded, after public advertisement.
out, under the terms Of the advertise
ment, the contract will not become
binding until the company has been
shown on the ground what timber the
government will reserve in order to
provide for reproduction, and as
agreed in writing to the terms inn
posed.
The company will be allowed to cut
in full 100000 feet, but 1t will
not be allowed to cut clean. Asa
rule, the Forest Service reserves about
one-third of the stand.
"Such large and long-term sales are
new development of the service"
said Chief Forester Graves. Great
bodies of mature but inaccessible tim
Der can be put on the market only if
sale contracts are let on terms which
will justify a very heavy initial in
vestment in transportation facilities.
In entering into such contracts, how
ever, special safeguards to protect the
public against monopoly and to pre-
vent an undue speculative profit to the
purchaser are employed.
"The national forests contain the
equivalent of nearly 600, 900, 600, 600
feet of timber now of merchantable
size, besides young growth for future
harvest. Because of its remoteness
from market, only small percentage
can now be sold on any terms. The
sale Of less than one-fifth of / per cent
OF our total supply to one company
leaves plenty of room for competition
by other companies.
"The timber which has been sold to
the California companies lies we'll
back in the Sierra Nevada mountains
and will require the construction Of 70
miles of standard gauge railroad to
open up the area. The company is
given cutting period of % years to
remove the timber, besides an addi-
tional two years for the construction
of logging and manufacturing facili-
ties.
"For several years the Forest Ser
vice has been selling in the neighbor-
hood of 81, 600, 900 worth of national
forest stumpage each year, but this,
combined with what is cut for free
use, is only one-eighth of what might
be cut without reducing the perma-
nent stock of the forests. The supply
will be kept up through growth. By
making long.term sales, it will be
possible greatly to increase the
amount available for present needs Of
the TIMBER consuming public, without
endangering future supplies through
over cutting.
