THE JUNCTION CITY lUM-

Something About the Progress of
 a Leading Industry.

Among the leading manufac- turing industries of Prescott is the Junction City Lumber Go. This institution started in busi- ness here eleven years ago. They do a wholesale and retail yellow pine lumber business, and during their operations here have man. ufactured and shipped to the Northern markets over 100, GOO, GOO of Arkansas Short Leaf Yel- low Pine Lumber, amounting to $1, 200, 000.00. They have paid during this period. for labor a. lone. at this Prescott plant, $250, 000.00, which amount has been spent and distributed by the en- ployes to the merchants in Pres colt and Nevada county.
 In many other ways does this institution help the local mer- chants. They buy rough lumber and logs from the small mills and from farmers, which in itself gives employment to many hun dreds of our citizens. putting hundreds of thousands of dollars in circulation. The finished pro- duet is sold to Northern people largely, and the money is shipped here and distributed among hun- dreds of people who spend 1t in Prescott.
 Some six years ago the com pany's president and general manager, Jno. A. Davis, organ ized the Clark County Lumber Co.,, at Smithton Ark, and the product of this plant is handled and sold through the Junction City Lumber Co.,, of Prescott.
 They have also recently built and equipped a complete saw mill, blaming mill, and log road at Urbana, Ark, which is now about ready for operation. These three mills, the one at Prescott, the one at Smithton and the one at Urbana, will give the Junction City Lumber Company, of Pres

 And daily in the corn fields, the pastures. the groves where underbrush grows thick, there are being formed thousands of picturesque groups ot dogs and men locating their quarry, or waiting for the rustic of wings. The dogs, scenting the birds, stand immobile, muscles taunt, nostrils lifted, head thrust for ward, their eyes peering intent | ly into tangles of grass and un- derbrush. to locate the tiny balls of feathers that blend so well ln-

to the end of the extended nose they are motionless, even holding the breath for fear of frighten- ing the covey into rising before the hunter arrives and is ready.
 While there is a great deal of natural instinct governing this sort of action on the part of the dog, and while he enjoys the sport almost, if not entirely, as much as his master, it requires a long course of training in the niceties of hunting to make a dog efficient. When he is a mere pup, before the gambling days are over, he is taken in hand by an experienced trainer and. in the field with experience ed dogs, is taught to pick up and follow a scent nolselessly, and, most important, to point to stand motionless when close to the hidden birds in such a way that the hunters following him will know that a bit of sport is near by and what direction il is from their location.
 For him who truly loves a dog, nothing can present a prettier picture than the animal standing alert, pointing out to the hunter the location of his game.
