COMMISSIONER OF LABOR
 COMPLETES BIENNIAL REPORT

Little Rock. Dec 5.-Commissioner of Labor J. C. Clary has completed his biennial report, and has it ready for submission. Commissioner Clary has gathered statistics which show the lumber industry of Arkansas to be a tremendous one, and it also shows that the timber lands are being rapidly cut over.
 The report will show that there are S53,359 acres of land in Arkansas owned by 50 lumber companies. Of this amount, 527, ,597 acres is for sale, which indicates it has been cut over and has no further value except for agricultural purposes. This leaves the timber companies but 325,000 acres yet to strip of it's trees.
 The annual output of the 50 lumber companies who reported to Commis- sioner Clary, is 761, 1,25s,04l feet. The annual payroll of the companies amounts to $4,526,47l.
 There are about 100 small lumber companies who failed to make a re- port to Commissioner Clary, so it is probable that the annual cut of tim Der reached 000,00000O feet of lum- Der.

ELECTRIFYING THE
 STATUE OF LIBERTY
It Will be Permanently Illuminated on December 2nd, the First Day
 of Americas Electric Week.

While electricians have been busily at work attaching electric lamps and reflectors to illuminate the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor with it's permanent equipment for flood light ing, electrical manufacturers, power companies and merchants in a hun dred cities scattered all over the coun- try have been preparing to make "Electric Week." December 2nd to 9th, period for the unversal educa- tion of mankind on the convenience, cleanliness and economy of using cleo tricity. When the Bartholdi statue will stand out on the night of Decem- Der 2nd in the perpetual daylight of the Mazda lamp, simultaneously men representing every phase of Ameri- ca's three billion dollar electrical in- dustry will hold exhibitions, parades and illuminatons in honor of the new power which moves our street cars, lights our cities, hauls our transcon- tinental trains. and conveys our mes sages.
 The Society for Electrical Develop ment which includes in it's member ship all of the representative electri- cal concerns of the country has en- listed the entire electrical industry be- hind the movement which it is push
 ing.
 Electric Week, while seeking to show the electric way in everything will, this year, unite with city mer- chants to promote the "Shop early" movement. The week will be celebrat- ed with elaborate programs in the West, and those who have promoted the campaigs say that the week set aside to electricity will bring even better results than last year. More than twenty cities in all parts of the country will hold electric shows dur ing Electric Week, while some form of observing the period has been adopted wherever there is an electric central station.

Enterprise Record Chieftain: In
the state of Kansas it has been shown
their are more dogs than sheep, and
Nebraska is close behind, with just
few more sheep. This is curious
bit of extravaganza. All observers
agree that the dog is the greater
enemy of sheep in the general farm
ing districts. Herds suffer more
from attacks of dogs than from any
other evil, and many farmers have
been compelled to discontinue raising
sheep on small scale because of the
destruction wrought by others pets.
A dog may be mans most faithful
companion, but he is descended from
wild ancestry, and the love Of the
hunt and of killing still turks, ready
to possess him whenever an easy prey
appears. So general farming dis
trict that raises dogs instead of sheer
is practicing waste instead of econ
omy.

tends to know all about our business,
and insures the public that we agreed
to keep this man forever. Which is
such a reasonable proposition that
the mere statement on the part Of Jim
Blake's man Friday ought to settle
the case, and take from us the right
to dispense with hired man whenever
we no longer needed his services.
AS a matter of fact we never
promised Mr.. Quigley anything. If
he sent for his family he did so on his
own responsibility, and if his wife,
as we have reason to believe, stated
otherwise, she lied. We have all re-
spect for a woman, but none for a
malicious mischief maker; we have
pity and contempt for woman who
will spend her time peddling gossip,
and manufacturing lies for the pur'
pose of creating sympathy, using this
sympathy as a means of dead beating
her way and defrauding merchants
who extend credit. Mrs. Quigle.

During the American revolution,
Robert Morris, one of the richest men
in America, was called upon to act as
treasurer for the colonial government,
and he did. The result was just what
generally happens to the treasurer of
good cause; he advanced them some
money when their needs were real and
their funds low. He kept on advanc-
ing money, and finally got in so deep
that he staked all he had and all he
ever expected to make. Then by get
ting others to take hold, and by send
ing Benjamin Franklin to France and
Denmark and Sweden to borrow mon-
ey, the colonies were able to feed
their troops after fashion and the
war was won.
Long afterwards when Robert Nor
ris was old and poor and was unable
to pay his debts, an officer hunted him
up one afternoon and placed him I'M
der arrest, for under the laws of oul
country it was jailable offense fol
man not to pay his obligations and
the same government that he had
given up everything for, sent him to
prison cell now that he was broke
and unable to pay.

SOME MORE BUNK

Nampa Leader Herald: The COVER
nor has again given it out that the
prospects for the north and south road
are very bright. This is about the
forty eleventh time he has made that
statement and still there is not one
thing in sight to give the public any
faith in the enterprise. There is al
ways some mysterious ellusion to big
financial interests in the east that are
just dying to put twelve or fifteen
millions into this road, There
doesn't seem to be thing to hinde,
their doing so, but somehow, they are
always just on the eve Of doing
something they never do. ASKED
why so much mystery, the governor
said hostile, partisan press nigh
injure the PROJECTS.
That statement alone ought t.
prove to the public that the governo
hasn't anything of consequence il
sight. There isn't paper in tn
state hostile, for political reasons o
otherwise, to any legitimate enter
prise and if there were it is absur'
to suppose that millionaires bent O.
building a railroad would pay any at
tention to few country papers.

Some of the older places where
chautauquas have become a regular
annual feature have what they term
community tent colonies. That is,
number of families from one rural
neighborhood. go together and camp
out during chautauqua week, making
it a most enjoyable outing. This can
be done in Orofino during our chau-
tauqua. At least $50 people from
surrounding points should spend chau-
tauqua week in Orofno, and proper
appreciation of the value of the chau-
tauqua will bring larger attendance.
Everybody in Orolno should boost the
movement. 1t means an opportunity
for our people, our boys and girls, to
hear some noted orators, singers, ano
lecturers. By taking advantage OF
the season ticket rate of 81 fol
children and $25O for adults, the
price per session is very low, being
only 81 cents each for adults. 1t il
less than nine cents per session fol
children. Why should any boy or CIR
miss this week of big opportunity

CROW SHOULD WORRY.

The Clearwater Republican has
never asked any of the Blake gang to
help pay the wages of its printers,
nor has it felt under obligation to
consult l. R. Crow or any other Blake
tool as to whom we employ, how long
we keep them, and when we wish to
discharge them, and until the Orofino
Tribune is called on to pay the salary
of Clearwater Republican printers
we are going to insist on running our
own business without consulting Mr..
Grow or any of his bunch. Because
|. R. Grow can't turn around without
first consulting Jim Blake is no reason
why the Clear water Republican is 60
ing to be lickspittle for any dis
credited political boss in Clearwater
county. The Tribune has recently
referred to printer named Quigley,
who worked in the Republican Office
for some weeks. The Tribune pre-

WANTS ALL THE CREDIT.

Zone would suppose from the
governors inspired article in his
newspaper, (the Capital News), that
he was the only member of the land
board who was alert to the fact that
the state had some bad farm loans, =
said Secretary of State Barker Mon
day.
"For the most part these loans are
in Ada and neighboring counties and
were made by land boards during the
previous boom in land values in this
section. So far as their political
aspect is concerned, they may be des-
cribed as bipartisan, in as much as
prominent Democrats, Republicans
and Bull Moosers appear upon the list.

The United States department of

the effect that wheat called ''Polish
wheat" is being offered to farmers in
the west at the exhorbitant price of
one dollar pound. 1t is of the Du-
rum variety, with larger kernal and
longer head 1t is claimed by
those having it for sale that it will
yield from IS to $50 bushels per acre.
The department says the accumnlative
evidence regarding this wheat does
not indicate that it has any value that
will in any way justify the charge
of dollar pound for the seed, and
asks all papers to advise the farmers
not to be misled by the glowing state
ments regarding the yields and value,
which has been made concerning this
variety.
