Wafer Power Development.
The development of water power
Upon the national forests increased
rapidly during the year, particularly
California. 1t is the purpose of the
service to encourage power develop
ment in every possible way, while
safeguarding the interests of the pub
lie. The minimum output from the
permits now in force is nearly 500
thousand horsepower
Regulations now in force aim to
safeguard the interests of the public,
prevent speculative holding of power
sizes, provide for complete and proper
development and continuous opera
ton, secure return the govern

vide a means by which Safes and

Improvements On The Forest.
The forests are being made increas-
ingly accessible. More han $50 miles
of road, nearly 800 miles of fire lines,
nearl 1000 miles of telephone lines,
and $500 miles of trails were built
The present value of all public i'm
provements on the forests is some
what over 100000, two-thirds of
this amount having been put into
lines of communication and protec-
ton.
Receipts from all sources for the
year were slightly under $2500,0 900,
showing an increase of IA per cent.
over 1912, while expenditures for adj
ministration and protection were
slightly over $4,600,00O, showing de-
crease from 1912 of per cent 1t is
pointed out that the work of exam
ing and appraising timber prior TO
sale is seriously behindhand in some
regions and that larger receipts from
timber are contingent upon the funds
that can be made available for this
purpose. Although money for timber
sale work is necessarily substracted
from what is needed to protect the
forests against fire, improve organi-
cation of the fire-protective system
has increased it's efficiency. Owing
partly to favorable weather condi-
tons the total fire loss was only $751;
900, less than - per cent. of last year,
which was the best to date
The resident population of the for
ests is given as nearly 100000, and
the transient population as over l.

ests is increasing greatly, and is in
some places giving rise to the need
for careful sanitary regulation in the
interest of the 1900 cities deriving
their water supplies from streams
protected by the forests.

"EVerywoman" at Lexington.

Like the return of Well-loYed
friend comes "Everywoman," the dra-
matte spectacle which created such a
powerful impression last season and
at the same time set a pace in the
matter of attendance at a theatrical
performance. Henry w. Savage is
sending practically the same company
and exactly the same production in
scenery and mechanical effects to the
Lexington Opera House January L, 2
and g. with special matineee New
Years day and Saturday.
Since the performance in LeXing-
ton last year, the company has not
been idle a single week, day or night
The tour led by special train to the
farthermost limits of America and
has included practically every large
city in the United States and Canada.
During the summer long engagements
were played in San Francisco and Los
Angeles and in the early autumn the
cities of the Puget Sound country
were given a chance of enjoying the
singular play.
Last year the critical point of the
city was unanimous in commencing
'Everywoman" not only os a powerful
stage presentation, rich in color and
sound but as an appeal to reason
which no clear-thinking individual can
afford to miss. 1t was for many
weeks the sole theme in shop and fac,
tory and mill and drawing room, and
the many who were unable to secure
seats to see it last year will wei
come this return engagement.
Mr.. Savage promises an even
stronger portrayal of the salient
points of the play than last year. The
two organizations which were pre-
sentilg the play in different parts OF
the country then have been united
and in every instance the stronger
delineator of a character was retain
ed for the single company which is
presenting ''Everywoman" this year
Thus he has been able TO secure an
organization which is particularly
faWleSS.
The title role is played by That's
Magrane, young woman of dramat
ic force, who combines with her art q
beauty of face and figure particularly
illuminating to the role. Miss Ma
Crane played this character in the
Eastern organization last season, anC
appeared in it for four months in
Chicago. She is said to possess {
quality that reaches out over the

FOREST NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a - More
than two billion board feet of tim
ber with value of four and a half
million dollars On the stump, was sold
by the forest service last year, &C
cOrding to the annual report of Henry
S. Graves, forester, published today
This. is an increase of 1877 per cent.
over the sales of the preceding year.
The timber sold was largely for fu-
ture cutting under contracts that will
run for number of years. The act
ual cut was little less than 500 mil
lion board feet, an increase of Is per
cent. over 1912. Still larger sales are
in prospect.
Timber Sale Methods and Problems.
The timber sale policy of the for
est service is summarized as aiming
first of all to prevent losses by fire
and secondly to utilize the ripe tim
Der which can be marketed. Other
aime are: To cut so as to insure re-
stocking and forest permanece; to
get the full market value for the tim
Der sold; to prevent speculative ac-
QUESTION ola private monopoly of
public timber and to maintain COM
petitive conditions in he lumber in
dustry so far as possible; to provide
first for the need of the local commu-
mites and industries; to open lands
Of agricultural value to settlement
without allowing them to be tied up
by timber spectators; and finally to
secure as soon as possible the cost
of production and administration to
the government and a revenue to the
national forest States, to which go
, 25 per cent. of all receipts.
A large number of national forests
already more than pay operating ex-
penses. The revenue from the Alas
kan forests now exceeds the cost of
administration. The same is true
generally in the Southwest.
Range Management and Receipts.
/ The forage resources of the Ma
tional forests are pointed out as con-
tributing to the maintenance of over
20 million head of livestock, which
supply i'm part at least the demands
| for meat, hides or wool of every State
in the Union. The receipts for graz
! ing during 1913, though second to
those from timber were more than a
million dollars, and showed an in
crease over the previous year in
! spite of the fact that the season was
! less favorable and the area reduced.
Over per cent. more stock was
grazed as result of increased forage
production and Improvements in the
handling Of stock, especially sheep.
The system of range management
employed by the forest service is held
! to offer hope of relief to the average

Money For The States.

Under existing law, 25 per cent of
the gross receipts from the forests is
paid over to the States by the Federal
government for the benefit of county
schools and roads. An additional 10
per cent. is expended in building
roads and trails for the benefit of the
public. About $587,000 will be avail

CONGRESS PERMANENT
ORGANIZATION TO BE EFFECT
ED AT MEETING THURS
DAY AFTERNOON.

The Conway School and Civic Club
will meet, as usual, Thursday after
noon at o'clock at the high school
auditorium.
The Mothers Congress will be per-
manently organized at this meeting.
Aside from the very important school
work that will claim first attention,
other home subjects will be consid-
cred.
The Mothers Congress will be the
time and place for all subjects in
which women are personally interest
ed.
The superintendent of schools says
that, judging from his experience,
the nucleus of II earnest and ardent
women will be able to give him and
all the teachers exceptional support.
In view of his exphession of appre-
citation, and the presence of all the
teachers at our last regular school
meeting, the nucleus of II women will
continue their labor of love, hoping
to gradually draw many other women
who are mothers into the work; for
every child in the school is an indi-
vidual and an entity, and there is no
doubt that every parent would like
to express his opinion about the de-
velopment of that individuality.

OBITUARY..

Robert Kelley Wilkerson, son of
E. W. and Edna Wilkersson. was
born May l, 1857, in Alfalfa county,
Mississippi. He professed religion
and joined the NJ. E. Church, South,
in 1870 He removed to Arkansas
with his parents in 1871.
He was married to Matte Burrows
in White county, Ark, in 1876. To
this union seven children were given,
FIVE of whom are still living. Their
mother died in 1891. He was married
the second time to Lula D. Bowden in
1892. To this union five children
were given, five of whom are still llv-
ing. Their mother died in 1900. He
was married the third time to Mrs.
Ellen a. Wright in 1901. To this
union two children were given, one
of whom, Raymond, still lives.
Mr.. Wilkerson lived a consistent
Christian life, was very. devoted and
loyal TO his church In his last hours
as in all his life-he talked freely
of his faith in Christ and hope of
heaven. He passed to his reward on
July 81, 1913.
Brother Wilkerson will be missed
first and mostly in his home Being
industrious and economical he pro-
vided well for his loved ones. His
example and council was a constant
stay and uplift to his children. May
his God be their God-their constant
guide and comforter.
He will be missed in the church,
where his labors were untiring and
efficient. He was ever ready to sii.e
or pray or talk or work He was
very loyal to his church, saying in
his last moments Of suffering that he
wished his pastor to lay him 70 rest.
The Sunday school, where perhaps
his most successful efforts were made,
will miss him. Doubtless many chill
dren that he taught in the Sunday
school will rise up TO call him blessed.
Doubtless many that ne taught TO
sing here will sing with him around
the Great White Throne.
The public school will miss him
As director or patron he ever sought
the best interest of the whole COM
munity. At Berry,, where the strength
of his manhood was spent, he was
one of the factors in building one Of
the best public schools in Faulkner
county. With his brother, A. {. Will
kerson, and others, he was able to
forge some of the strongest charac-
tiers our State has.
In fact the whole county will miss
him. In the court circles, in the polit-
ical circles, wherever he labored, those
with whom he labored learned to love
him.
May the blessings of God rest up.
on his companion. his children anC
his grandchildren, and may each one
lift his or he rheart and mind to oul
Father for guidance and comfort.
