New York, Jan. 4.-Statistics handed
out recently by the Federal league in
dicate that a left handed batter does
not necessarily hit better against n
right handed pitcacr, and also that
aouthpaws are no easy marks for right

believed to have been the case among

Commenting ON the situation, Bozc.
man Bulger, the Evening World S eX'

"When AL Shaw was with the Gi.
ants il was believed that he was weak
against lefthanded pitchers, and for
that reason he was seldom sent against
taem in pinch. But look at this;
''The official figures Of the Federal
league show that during the season s

A BETTER OUTLOOK :
FOR YEAR QE 1915.

A short time ago Harris. Winthrop
& Co., heavy bond dealers of New
York and Chicago, addressed 1000
letters TO-. leading financial men of
the United States, asking their opin-
ion Of trade conditions in our country.
Some 700 replies were received and
booklet, "The Present and The
Future of American Business" has
been issued. Among the replies re-
produced in full is that of James
Carleton Young of Minneapolis, we'll
known in Dickinson, and the same
follows: .,.,,, !, IT,.
: ':FIRsT, The stocks of goods at
present belonging to. the jobbers and
distributors are small. q
aSECOND, The public have been
both increasing their investments and
deposits in banks.
THIRD, There are more idle lab
orers than usual at this season.. ~
FOURTH, I am not competent to
answer this question. I think the in
creased cost of freight as a general
proposition is right and that the rail-
roads are entitled to have it. q do
not think increases made will check
business to any appreciable extent.
"FIFTH, The average borrowers in
this section can obtain all the money
he requires with usual facility. Those
entitled to the best credit find ,ac-:
comn1odation unusually abundant.
sixth, The people are economic: !:

the money devoted to aid sufferers

SEVENTH, Isconsider the out

1915 most encouraging. believe
that wealthy Europeans who have in.

region free from the entanglements
forced by rlilitarism. There is 8
class who from reasons of necessity

and these we will purchase with the
money that is coming to US from oul
i exports and instead of being obliged
to send the interest to Europe fol
these securities, the money will be
held at home. So the net result must
be very much to our advantage. In
the period Of reconstruction ir
Europe, after this war, we will be
called on for large loans at gooc
rates Of interest and this will keel
our money market higher for thu
next five years than it has been il
the past five. In addition to this w
should invest large sums in Soutl

CONFESSED HE SENT
POISON THROUGH MAILS.

Rudolph Fredericks, age 25, son o.
w. B. Fredericks of Mountain Ranch,
is in the county Jail, awaiting action by
the federal court, having been bound
over yesterday on charge of having
deposited poison in the United States
mails, in connection with an attempt to
do injury to another person. His bail
has been fixed at $4,000 which he has
been unable to furnish.
Fredericks was bound over on the
strength of confession secured from
him by Postoffice inspectors Flemming
and La Forge, who have been working
on the case for several months. 1t was
about four months ago that Harry Clark
ofnear sundance, Wyo., received through
the mail a four-pound box containing
chocolates, marshpaAd ~ and, other
CONNECTIONS. After eating some of the
candy, he became violently i'll, but his
life was saved, because he had taken an
overdose of the poison contained in the
the candy. An examination showed
that the stuff contained enough strych-
nine to kill one hundred persons. The
circumstances led to an investigation by
the postoffice inspectors which resulted
in drawing confession from Fredercks.
The latter, who has been employed as
utility man about the Dead wood shines
plant of the Homestake company, stated
that he had been paying attention to a
Miss Mabel Deyo, of Whitewood, who
subsequently married and is now Mrs.
Grant. During the time they were going
together, Fredericks gave her several
pieces of jewerlry and after her marriage
to another, he asked that the jewelry be
returned to him. This was not done
and he latter learned that the jewelry
was in the possession of Harry Clark, a
brother of the girl. He asked Clark for
the return of the trinkets, but this re-
quest also went unheeded. Then Fred.
ericks became enraged and determined
to kill Clark. He not only sent him
box of poisoned candy, but also sent
bottle of strychnine to man living near
Sundance, with the request that the
contents of the bottle be thrown into a
well, from which Clark drew his drink
ing water.-Pioneer Times.

EGG MONEY CERTAIN.

Ii the farmer wishes to benefit by the
high prices that eggs are certain to bring
next fal and winter he should begin to
get ready for them at once, say the
poultry specialists in the Department of
Agriculture. The way to have eggs late
in the year is to hatch early pullets. It
is the early matches from which the
early pullets are derived that are the
largest money makers for the poultry
producer. The early hatched cockerels
can be marketed in almost any market
in America when they attain a weight
of thrse.fourths of a pound to pound
and half each which they should reach
at about six to ten weeks of age, respect
lively, at greater profit to the producer
than at any other time of their lives.
The early hatched pullets if properly
grown should begin to lay in the fall at
the time when eggs are scarce and high
in price.

THE FOREST SERVICE.

Selling a billion and half boa rd feet
of timber, supervising the cutting on
several thousand different areas, over
seeing the grazing of more than 1,500,-
600 cattle and 100000 sheep, and
building more than 600 miles of road,
1000 miles of trail, 5000 miles of tele-
phone line and 700 miles of fire line, are
some of the things which the govern
ment Forest Service did last year. There
is need, the Chief Forester says, to in
crease the cut of timber from the nation
al forests wherever fair price can be
obtained for the stumpage, because a
great deal of it is mature and ought to
be taken out to make room for young
growth. Unfavorable conditions in the
lumber trade caused new sales of ma.
tiona forest timber to fall off somew ha t
during the past year, though operations
on outstanding sales contracts brought
the total cut above that of the previous
year by l30,OO0,O 900 board feet. Desir-
able blocks of national forest timber
have been appraised and put on the
market, and it is expected that these
will find purchasers when conditions in
the lumber industry improve. All told,
the government received $l,304. .023. 66
from the sale of timber on the forests in
1914, and receipts from all sources total.
ed $2,437, ,7l02l. Some 100000 was
spent by the Forest Service during the
year for permanent improvement on the
national forests, to make them accessible
and to insure their protection from fire.
These improvements include 27O miles
of new road, 2, 1853 miles of trail, 1908
miles of telephone line, 775 miles of fire
line and LOG lookout structures, besides
bridges, corrals, fences and cabins. In
addition, 642 miles of road were built
for the public by the use of 10 per cent
of the national forest receipts, as au-
thorized by Congress. Under another
law, 25 per cent of the national forest re-
ceipts for the year, amounting to $780,
593. 80, were paid over to the states in
which the forests lie, for the benefit Of
county schools and roads.
