Important Notice

Owing to the great scarcity
of water for domestic purposes
in Big Stone Gap, users are
urged to he just as economical
az possible with the water. In
plain words when you take n
bath or draw water for any pur-
pose use just as little as pos
sible, and be sure that no spigot
ia left running. The supply is
almost gone and unless great
economy il used, if this dry
weather continues, the town
will soon be entirely without
water.

Statistics have been compiled
by the forest service which show
for the frat time precisely how
the lumber produced in the
country is utilized. About 40
billion feet of lumber OF all
kinds is the annual production
of the United State; Of nearly
- billion feet, board measure,
are further manufactured, the
other portion remaining for
rough construction lumber and
similar purposes. This is ex.
elusive of material which
reaches its final use in the form
of fuel, railroad ties, posts,
poles, pulpwood, cooperage,
wood distillntes, and the barks
and extracts demanded by the
tanning industry.

MORE CATTLE on
RANGES IN OREGON

JOHN DAY. Ore. Aug. 19.-The
belief that cattle are becoming scar
Ger on the ranges OF eastern oregon
is disproved by the statistics com
piled by the Malheur national for
est in its annual report just issued.
The report shows that cattle have
steadily increased during the past
five years: that there Is an increase
OF nearly 1000 head on the ranges OF
that forest over the year previous,
and that everything points TO a fur
ther increase during the coming
year The total number OF cattle
now using the ranges OF that forest
is about 10000. The report showed
slight decrease in the number OF
sheep grazed
The report shows a rapid growth
OF the timber sale business on that
forest. Timber TO a value OF near
ly $4,000 was sold during the past
year. which Is an increase OF nearly
100 per cent over the year previous.
The report alsos howed a marked in
crease in the number OF homestead
applications under the forest home
stead act.

sort of gifts by government officials
from foreign powers. But it didn't
stop any gifts. The 'morgue" at the
State Department is rich evidence
of this, as are some of the cases at
the National Museum where are dis
played gifts made to President Grant
and other Presidents and governmnt
officials. Those gifts that never
reached the recipient, and now on
display in the Museum, are alone
worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars. =.
The constitution permits Congress
to waive the prohibition against re-
ceiving gifts if congress is so disposed
but during the nations life such per-
mission has rarely been granted.
A record of campaign lies" is the
unique proposal made by Representa-
tive William (Alfalfa BID Murray of
oklahoma He insists that candidates
when filing their officials accounts OF
campaign expenses should be requir-
ed to file a record under oath list
of all prevarications. falsehoods, and
lies he has invented or circulated. ut
tered or printed against his opponent
or any of them"
Representative Rucker of Missouri
iocularly suggested TO Murray that
such record would completely
swamp the election officials and
clerks from one end of the country
To the other with additional and un-
necessary work. He said the work
would be unnecessary because the
general public knows that almost
every other word spoken by candi
dates who are campaigning are
stretched to some extent when they
are directed against the opponent.
Evidence that members of Congress
are preparing their campaigns for re-
election next fail with vim is seen
at the local postoffice i'm the greatly
increased volume of "franked" mail.
This 'franked' matter includes
speeches and marked portions of the
congressional record. together with
matter from party headquarters.
