NO COUNTY FAIR TO
Be HELD IN DOOLY
PEOPLE TOO BUSY WITH OWN
AFFAIRS. SPLENDID OPPOR-
TUNITY FOR AGRICULTURAL
SHOW.

Vienna, Gat, Sept. 28.--All hopes
for holding a county fair this year
have been abandoned. The repeated
ecorts TO secure leaders for perfect
.ing the plans have proved futile and
now so little time remains it would
be impossible to stage any sort of eX-
hibition that would do justice to the
splendid estate of Dolly"
The failure to have a fair is due
largely to the rush of business short
age of help. Business men have their
hands full "minding their own bust
ness" this fall, furthermore many of
them have been forced by past exper-
fence to the conclusion that giving
their time to public enterprises en-
tails no small personal sacrifice and
does not always bring a rich reward
There is no denying that this year
holds great possibilities for having a
county fair. Farmers have produced
a diversity of agricultural products,
and many of them have given special
care to growing some things solely
for the purpose of exhibition. The
women and girls have had the fair, as
well as satisfying the innerman, in
mind, in doing their canning.
1t is to be regretted that these will
not be given an opportunity to show
the products to which they have given
so much time and attention, but there
is no reason to believe now with the
season thus far advanced that there
will be any 1917 Fair in Dooly.

STORM HAS HIT
THE GULF COAST.

New Orleans, Sept 27--The fore
runner of the tropical hurricane was
expected to sweep in from the Gulf
of Mexico near the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi on the Louisiana coast about
midnight, unless there should be a.
Y2ering hurricanes velocity, accord
ing to indications and information
available here early tonight. The full
force Of the storm, in the event the
center passes near New Orleans as
has been predicted, probably will not
be felt in this city until between 3
and o'clock tomorrow morning.
Judging from present indications.
Wireless reports late today from
vessels that felt the force of the
storms in The Gulf stated the hurri-
cans velocity was between rs and 90
niles an hour and about p. m. the
hurricane was estimated to be less
than 100 miles from the Louisiana
coast, moving north, northwest
A report from Pilot Town, near the
mouth of the Mississippi, stated hat
at $50 p. m. the wind there had
reached velocity of 80 miles and
hour and the barometer had fallen
from 29.N at 2 p. m. to 29.GS with
rain squalls. These reports were CON
sidered as indicating the storm was
nearing the coast.

WANT MANY MEN
596 men are wanted for the re-
mount stations at Camp Gordon, At

this service will be received at U. S.

sums, of course, are in addition to
food, clothes, medical and dental at
tention, and such other expenses of
soldiers as are usually cared for by
the government.
Special attention is called to the
unusually high percentage OF non-com-
missioned officers, which causes the
enlistment for remount station ser
vice to be very attractive. 1t is likely
these remount stations will be main
tanned during the entire period OF the
war and those desiring to ermain at
the stations vii probably be allowed
to do so.

WOULD RIPRAP Sites WATER
FRONT.

Many of our citizens are considering
the proposition of making an improve
ment district for putting permanent
riprapping along the water front. This
is commendable idea and the cost
will be assessed to the property. The
matter Is being thoroughly looked into
and the cost viii not exceed $1.00 per
foot TO % cents per foot frontage to
each property owner, Figures are be-
ing made upon wall nine feet high
and six inches at the top and eighteen
inches at the bottom, with piers every
ten or twelve feet. This construction
would be of concrete and put In to con-
form with work of this nature. The
work will extend along the water front
the entire length Of the city. This mat
ter should be taken care of at once and
work started as soon as possible, as 1t
win not be long before the weather
will not permit of its construction and
will be impossible to do 1t in the spring
on account of high water. Enter

NATIONAL FORESTS no SUPPLY
WOOD FUEL EuR WINTER.

WaShlngt0n.--I0 meet any possible
coal shortage In the west next winter
more extensive use of fuel wood from
the national forests Is urged by the
governments foresters, who are adj
vising both ranchers and town dwell
ers to be forehanded in making ar
engagements for the supply Of their
fuel needs.
The supervisors OF the 153 national
forests viii be instructed to afford all
possible facilities to local residents
wishing to obtain cordwood, which
settlers may obtain free for their home
use and which is sold at low rates to
persons cutting and hauling In order
TO sell to others. Since the material
thus utilized Is manly dead timber
its removal. it is explained, helps clear
up the forest and thus lessons the fire
menace. Timber which Is insect-infest-
ed, or old and deterIorating, or other
wise damaged or undesirable from the
forester's standpoint is also disposed of
for fuel purposes. The demand In the
next twelve months is expected TO
break all records.
There is possibility of coal short
age because OF the increased demand
for coal by industriaf plants and the
lack of sufficient means Of transporta-
ton. 1t is believed that it will be quite
feasible and economical for many west
ern communities to utilize an increas-
ed quantity Of national forest wood
for fuel next winter When dead and
down timber which Is deteriorating is
not available for cordwood, the cut
ting OF mature living trees will be per-
mitted to the extent necessary to meet
demands.
While wood as fuel Is less economic
al to handle and use than coal, it Is In
many parts OF the west cheaper even
at normal price levels. Stoves and
furnaces, however, equipped to burn
coal usually require different CRATES to
permit of the substitution to advant.
age. and this is pointed out as one
reason why the householder will do
well TO look ahead and decide before.
hand how he win keep warm and what
he win feed the kitchen stove next
winter.
Where saw mills are operating In
the woods at points within hauling
distance of towns there is a chance tc
Obtain slabs and other material that
ordinarily goes to waste. Since green
or wet wood Is both poorer fuel and
heavier to transport and handle thar
dry, mill waste as 1t comes from the
saw Is relatively undesirable for Inn
mediate use. For this reason as well
as In order to be sure of supply, the
government foresters suggest that q
good-sized woodpile In the back yard
or under cover before winter sets Ii
may be found thrifty provision.
During the last fiscal year over 3d.
600 permits for the free use of nation
al forest timber mainly in the form OF
fuel wood were taken out by local resi-
dents. The amount of timber involved
appropriated 250,0O0 cords. Addition
al supplies of cordwood were obtained
! from the forests at nominal price bs
others who were not entitled under
the law TO the free use of timber.

ENCOURAGES FERDINAND on

Enterprises. H. M. Booth, state ell
gineer Of the state public highways,

he seemed highly pleased and remark
ed that he was very glad that the pee.
pie recognized tho good things that
good roads had ~ store FOR any COM
munity.
Asked as regards whether or not
the state highway would pass through
Ferdinand, he remarked that depended
entirely on whether or not the bonds
were voted. He was positive that this
was the correct place for the road and
the people no doubt could secure 1t by
showing the proper spirit at the polls
next Tuesday.
