The requisition of the governor Of
Tennessee upon the governor of Geor-
gia for H. c. Conley and Samuel e.
Smith, prominent business men of At

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 22.-Court rec
ords of Los Angeles county were cleared
Saturday of the Mcnamara dynamiting
case when the indictments charging brib-
erv against Clarence S. barrow, who
was counsel for the dynamiters, were
dismissed.
District Attorney Fredericks told
Judge jackson of the superior court that
barrow had been tried twice, once when
the Jury acquitted him, and again when
the jury disagreed, and that the evil
dence, in the light of previous experience,
was not sufficient to convict.
The indictments against barrow were
the outcome of the sensational episode
Immediately preceding the sudden deter
mination of the McNamaras to plead
guilty when Bert Franklin, one of Oar
rows agents, was arrested, as alleged,
in the act of bribing George Lockwood,
venireman summoned in the dynamite
cases.
Robert Balm, the first juror chosen to
J try the McNamaras, then confessed that
he had accepted bride of $500 with
the promise of $4,000 more. Franklin
became state witness against barrow.

Alaska's Coal Development Retarded.

The development of the coal resources
of Alaska, according to a statement in
a report on the mineral resources of the
United States issued by the United
States Geological Survey, has been held
back on account of the lack of legis-
lation permitting the exploitation of the
known extensive and valuable fields. In
1912 the commercial product of coal in
Alaska amounted to only 355 tons. In
addition 900 tons were mined under the
direction of the bureau of mines for test
ing by the United States navy. The
imports of coal into Alaska amount to
about 100000 tons annually, but most
of the transportation and manufaetur-
ing industries of the territory now de-
pend on California oil for their fuel.

! was on the train between
New York and Chicago one day
last week, and met a farmer who
lived 400 miles northwest of
Chicago. He told me he was
coming to North Arkansas in a
month or two to buy a few car
loads of hogs to ship to his farm
and feed from his corn crop, and
when fat to ship back to the
Chicago market. ] told him |
hoped our people would know
enough to keep their hogs. Too
often they do not however, and
it may be that this Iowa farmer
will buy enough hogs in Arkan-
sas to eat his crop of corn, and
after having been shipped over
a thousand miles and fattened,
and then back to Chicago and
butchered, and after the lard and
fat has been pressed out by n.y.
draulic pressure, the same hogs
may be shipped back to Arkan-
sas to be sold to the farmer who
raised them and who in the
meantime has mortgaged his Ia
Dor and is struggling to make
enough cotton to pay for it in the
Fall. Let us hope that nothing
like this will be true, but it is
not extravagant to say it will &C.
cur if the people do not stop sell
ing off so closely their cattle and
hogs and 60 to making their own
meat at home. With the present
prices of meat and butter and

ford to give in exchange for
them without suffering a loss ir
