FOREST NOTES.

As many as seventy-two different
kinds of wood are used in the manufac-
ture of umbrella handles, canes and
whips in this country.
Authentic records show that cinders
from a forest fire in the tree tops in
northern Washington this fall were
carried a distance of twenty miles.
According to the latest available fig
ures. Pennsylvania stands fifth in the
production of wood pulp and is second
to West Virginia in the amount of
slabs and other sawmill waste used for
pulp; Maine stands third.
The better wood engravings are made
almost exclusively of lockwood. and the
large blocks are made of small pieces
glued together. The engraving is done
across the end of the grain. Japanese
wood prints, on the other hand, are
made on lengthwise sections of cherry
wood parallel to the grain.
Throughout the national forests the
rangers are posting the roads with per-.
guide signs which tell dis
tances and directions, especially at
forks and crossroads. The signs are
put up in the winter. when 9TH
er work tends to be light. On some
forests the rangers go on snowshoes,
dragging loaded sleds. and nail the
signboards to the roadside trees,

RICHMOND. Va, October 17-R Tate
Irvine, Il. N. Button, C. b. Slemp and
]. L. Rose are the candidates for Con-
gress In the ninth Virginia district
They represent the democrat, prohibi-
zionist. republican. socialist and bull
moose parties. They have held a con-
ference and have signed compact that
they will not spend any money whatso-
ever in the campaign this fall; that
they will discourage the same on the
part of their friends and supporters
and also that they will make report of
any such expenditures on the part of
any one to the judges of the courts
embraced in that district. Such a stem
is wholly new in this district 1t ia
known that for years money has bAen
used by all parties in an effort to elect
men to office.
One feature of the campaign in that
section is the large number of demo-
Gratis who are lending their energies to
the movement to retire Mr.. slemp. The
deUocrats are much in the ascendancy
IN the district, and the distribution of
patronage is one of the things that
makes the situation interesting. There
are great many places to be filled.
and 1t is expected that Immediately
after the election there will be pro-
cession of republicans from position
and the entry of democrats on places
vacated Some places have already
been hlled by democrats but these ap-
pointments were made at the behest of
others than Mr. Irvine, who has his
hands full in making the campaign.
He Is Keeping out of the contests at
this time. but in case he shall win over
MI. Siemp he will have more places to
nj! tnan any other man In the state.
The declination of the candidates to
use any money-except for absolute
necessary campaign expenses-means
tnat the vote In the ninth district next
was in the election of September ~.
when the state voted dry, the ninth dis,
trict falling in line and voting To- dis
was q shock to the liquor men. and The
signal failure of the attempt to "ins
nuence" the voters for the vets is attn
the subject of talk. 80 s'iii

Rev. James Cannon, jr., has been re-
peatedly mentioned in that connection,
the gentleman declares that he is not
in the contest. He says that the posi-
ton is one which any gentleman might

This declination of DIR. Cannon has
served to direct attention to other can
didates, who are receiving honorable
mention in connection with the nomi-
nation. 1t Is known that Richard E.
Byrd is already in the race. 1t is gen.
orally accepted as true that Attorney
General Pollard is developing symp-
toms of offering for the governorship.
There Is mention of the name of Ed
wards Echols, state senator, former
ton. His home is at Staunton, and he
is man who has seen long service
with the dominant party. He is very
popular with all classes of people. Also,
they would like to see Lieut.. Gov. J.
Taylor E1lyson in the contest. He is
serving his third term as lieutenant
governor. has been chairman of the
state democratic committee for twenty
five years and is a Confederate veteran.
He is better known to more people
than any man in the state.
Great Baptist Revival.
Beginning October % this city is to
have one of the greatest REVEALS the
south has seen. On that date twenty
one Baptist churches of Richmond are
to begin revivals at the same time,
and will continue them for three full
weeks. The decision to have these
meetings was reached some time ago.
They will be under the direction of
Rev. Weston Bruner. connected with
the Southern Baptist Association.
Speakers from every state in the
south and west will be here, and some
of the most noted singers of the coun-
try will add to the meetings by lead
ing the musical features. Services are
to be held in each of the twenty-one
churches each night, while during the
day there will be services at possibly
two or three central churches for the
benefit of those who cannot attend at
night.
Two Judges Obey the Law.
Auditor c. Lee Moore says that so
far as he can learn only two of the
judges of the courts in this state have
obeyed the law regarding the examtna-
ton of tax returns. These two are
Judge Thomas W. Harrison of Win
chester and Judge Robert G. Southall
of Amelia. They have called special
grand juries to make the usual investi-
cations required by law. directed that
the investigation for dodgers shall be
made and that no mere perfunctory
examination will be accepted They de-
mand that the work be done as con-
templated in the laws.
There are 119 of these cases to come
within the purview of the sworn du-
ties of the courts, and the fact that
only two have SO far acted this year
is something of surprise to the OFF,
GERS who have to handle the state
finances. especially in view of the fact
that last year there were several mill
lions added by the courts which really
did have Investigations, some of the
judges. however, paying little attention
and accepting complete examination
by a grand jury after a session of less
than half day.
