SHARPENING UP
 THE PRUNING HOOK

The legislature today gave indication of it's desire and intention to wield the pruning hook.
 Senator Lusk of Marshall, introduced bill to abolish the office of state game warden and another to abolish the of- flee of cotton statistician. Senator Hall Of Houston. introduced a bill providing for the abolishment of state and coun.y back tax commissioners.
 It is significant that when the caption of this latter bill was read by the clerk tiere was spontaneous clapping of hands
 Senator LusSs bills are aimed at John II. Wallace. Jr., fish and game commis- sioner, and E. M. Ragland of Sheffield, who has filled for four years the office of cotton statistician. Mir. Wallace was elected by the people by an overwhelm- ing vote. MT. Ragland was appointed 9y the governor. MT. Ragland's office has always been regarded as a sinecure. Mr. Wallaces office. has been self support ing and has been the cause of putting money in the treasury.
 The fate of the bills cannot be fore told. It is safe to predict that the de- partment of cotton statistics will be abol- ished. It will be more difficult to leg jsiate Wallace out of a job however, although his department might in the end be made an integral part or another department
 There Is no question, however, but that the legislature is planning to cut off useless boughs if there arc any.

SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS NOW
 THOUGHT LIKELY
Underwood Holds Out Little Hope of Completing Ad- ministration Programme
 In Present Session

Washington, January 13.-(special } Accurate information on the legislative situation in the House and export fore cast of the future were given to Pres ident Wilson today by Representative Underwood, while at the same time democratic leaders in the Senate started an investigation to ascertain the pros- pect of progress in that chamber. As d result the conclusion was reached that id would be impossible to enact into lawd all sthe bills which the President nod long ago told Congress he wanted passed in this session.
 As already has been explained in Ind Age-Herald, MT. Underwood told thd President that only 51 days now remain before this Congress and of these sevenl are Sunday and seven are ''unanimoud consent" Monday and seven are calendar YI Wednesdays, leaving only 30 actual work I ing days for general legislation. The most| important appropriation bills still are to| be considered and a tremendous amound of argument is expected on the armyI and navy measures Thus MT. Underwood held out little or no hope to the Pres l fdent of getting through his conserva1 \ tion bills, the ship purchase bill and two or three other administration pet meas- ures
 Expectations that special session. would be called were pronounced this evening.

OLDEST IRON ROOF ! IN WORLDLOCATED Nature Placed It Centuries Ago and By So Doing Preserved Wonderful
 Deposit

Geologists and others who have in
 spected the "vitalitas" mound in the
 flat coast country of Texas have mar veled at the way in which the strange
 mineral deposit has there been pre- served for centuries It is covered with d crystallized iron crust or layer form ing water and airtight roof This roof Is shaped much like an inverted bowl and is spoken of as the oldest known iron roof in the world.
 Undoubtedly this freak of nature was formed by volcanic action ages ago. It made veritable store house pre- serving within the wonderful blend of chemical-mineral properties which IS now proving of such vast benefit to tho human race. But for this old roof the deposit would have long ago been dis sipated and carried away by moisture. The extent of the Vitalitas deposit so snugly preserved has never been fully determined but it is believed to be sufficient to relieve the suffering and cure many ills of the entire civilized world. Thousands of people are now daily finding new health and strength in liquid Vitalitas. It Is natures great est known corrective and tonic, lit- orally sweeping away ailments of stom- ach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood. You can see samples of crdde Vital itas at the display now in progress at Averyt's drug store, 109-111 goth st., or write there for information.

Today"

The vital and vivid drama of New York life by George Broadhurst and Abraham Schooner will play another engagement here Friday, matinee and night. Today is said to be a drama of unusual con- structive strength and intense cumulative interest, and one which affords an inti- mate study of woman's soul that has no parallel. The Broadhurst-S Schooner drama was the dramatic sensation of the last New York season, running to crowded houses at the Forty-eighth Street theatre from one end of the season to the other The same cast that was here before in cludes George MacQuarrie, Helen Me- Keller, Helen Judson, Amelia Mayborn May Herbert, Charles Greene, Jane Wal. lace and Frank Kimball.
 Today is described as an unusua drama of a certain phase of New York life, the existence of which has never been denied It Is not white slave play
 but it does depict realistically and dra- matically, the modern menace due to the feminine fondness for finery and the evils attendant thereupon. Seats now on sale

 Up to the time of this catastrophe in 1755, which cost 8O,0oo lives, caused the greatest number of casualties. Nineteen hundred and six was the worst period for seismic disturbances on record. It was during this time that great disasters occuued the world ever. The destruction of San Francis co and Valparaiso and the raging of Is villages in Calabria occurred in the spring and summer of 1906.
