question of liquor licenses at their first
opportunity next April, and at least
thirty will go dry" according to the
Anti Saloon league. Twenty per cent
of the present licensed liquor places in
the state will go out of business in
October, the league says, because of
the reduction feature of the amended
Excise law; and an additional 10 per
cent will quit voluntarily because in
creased license fees and the federal
prohibition of the manufacture of dis
titled liquors will make it impossible
for them to continue doing business at
a profit.
In all of the twenty four cities
visited recently by representative of
the league, plans are under way for
initiating local option campaigns some
time before December /. In all but
three or four it is conceded that the
of winning, and in most of them de-

TAX
MUST Be PAID
UPON TICKETS

The first information as to the
method of applying the new war tax
to the sale of passenger and freight
transportation was supplied yester-
day at the general offices of the
Southern Pacific, s. Market street,
where officials have been diligently
studying the bill since il was in
troduced in congress.
OF primary Importance to the
more populated centers is the an
nouncement that suburban commut-
ers will escape taxation under the
provision which eXempts commute
ton trips for distances of forty
miles or less. and which limits tan
able tickets to valuation of over
thirty five cents.
The new law becomes effective
November l and imposes a war tax
of eight per cent on passenger fares
as noted and three per cent on all
freight shipments.
This passenger tax is to be imposed
upon tickets which are part of
through trips to Canada or Mexico.
To other foreign countries a stamp
tax is placed on all tickets costing
over ten dollars.

cific system, carries about four mil

T. O. Edwards of the company esti-
mates that of this number the amount

COMPETITION IN
LUMBER MAKING
F|ELDUNSTAb[E
Especial to The Republican,


WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-Twenty-
five years ago lumber was regarded
as almost as much Of necessity as
wheat, while today it is steadily being
replaced by various substitutes, says
a report by the forest service on The
Substitution Of Other Materials for
Wood" just off the press Disregard-
ing the temporary effect of the war
with its sudden demand for lumber
and its great enhancement of prices
of many substitute materials. the re-
port points out the tendency in the
long run. Each year more steel. con-
crete, brick or tile is being used in
places where lumber was formerly
employed. This is particularly true in
cities where enactment of building
codes and the development OF new
forms of construction have created
a demand for more durable building
materials. Shingles have given way
largely to composition and tile roof
ings. wooden sidewalks have been al
most wholly replaced by cement while
the modern skyscraper with its steel
framework, and stone, brick, or tile
walls occupies the site of some form
er frame structure. Railroad crbss-
ties and mine props are about the
only forms Of wood which are not al
fected.

IDLE FORTY YEARS
OLD ENGINE RUNS
portland Oregonian)

Carlton, Ore.-After lying discarded
for more than forty years, an early day
traction engine was steamed up near
here and proved as equal to its task as
it was when new Junk dealers have
been busy for several weeks buying
up old iron, and many articles of his
toric value were picked up.
Among the collection was that of
two traction engines and gang plows
and cultivators from the farm of l.. c.
Thompson. These engines, which were
rated at 14-horse power, and the other
farming machinery were manufactured
in Leeds, England, and shipped to this
country in 1873 by Mr. Thompson's
father, the late R. r. Thompson
Mr.. Thompson Sr.. was making
trip to England in 1873, and on the
trip over the Atlantic met the salesman
for the company manufacturing what
at that time was the latest thing in
farming machinery, and became in
terested. Arriving in England he Wis
tied the factory and purchased the two
engines and other farming machinery
some of the latter being constructed
to till the ground to a depth of three
feet
This was shipped around the Horn

to be dismantled and hauled by wagon

the lumber business is shown by the
government estimate that the total re-
placement of lumber in all forms OF
use is S,0SO,OO0, 600 board feet, or p
per cent of the lumoer consumption
of the United States in 1913. The rate
of substitution seems to be increasing
and is now in excess of 500, 000, 00J
board feet year. Approximately 10
per cent of the lumber cut goes into
forms of use whose demands appear
TO be decreasing. Twenty per cent
more goes into strongly competitive
fields In the remaining ten per cent
of wood uses, there seems to be Il
much better opportunity for d larger
consumption
Increasing substitution has not
however, lowered lumber prices 10
the consumer. the report points Out
on the contrary they have steadily
advanced. while the cost of many
substitutes has decreased. Exhaustion
Of the stands of local timber and dis
covery of new sources for the manu-
facture Of other building mat erials
are given as some of the reasons for
these changes. More than 75 PEI cent
of the replacement of wood, hoy ever,
is made in spite of higher initial costs
Of the substitutes.
The effect of the growing e of
other materials has been to acce1 tuate
competition and decrease prof in
he lumber business. AS a result of
this and other reasons, alternate pc
RODS of curtailment and over produc-
ton have made the lumber m lrket
unstable This in turn has resulted 10
the disadvantage not only of the per
sons whose money is invested in TIM
Der and sawmills, but to the many
hundred thousands who are dependent
upon the lumber industry for their
living.
Lumbermen have felt, it is said, the
effect Of the replacement of their pio-
duct by other materials, but have not
realized the extent to which 1t mao

adopt aggressive selling methods and

sumner with reliable information re-
garding lumber. because they did not
have it. \ complicated system of
grades is in use which is not intel
liginle to the average consumer and
is even the subject of considerable
dispute among lumbermen.
Manufacturers of other building ma
terials have spent large sums of mon
ey TO OBTAIN reliable information
about their products They have had
to advertise extensively to make Il
place in the sun for themselves.
Substitutes for lumber are guaranteed
to meet specifications which are easily
understood by the consumer. These
facts, the report states, have com
bined to make the substitutes increas-
ingly popular.
For lumbermen to hold their markets
against competing materials, ii will be
necessary for them to learn more
about the fundamental properties of
wood, the author of the report says.
They can do this either by scientific
research for themselves or by CO.
operating with agencies already es-
tablished. Better manufacturing and
selling methods, and the development
; of by products should enable them TO
make profit in spite of the limita
lions on the prices of lumber which
may be imposed by competing sub
stitutes.
Even with the increasing substitu
ton for wood, the report points out
there will be need for all the wood in
the United States, and more. The to-
tai consumption of the country fol

While the government holds the

This will throw vast amount OF

the local miners union. These
miners are all members of the
Western Federation, and none of
them belong to the traitorous
gang known as the |. w. w.
agitators, and they are out on a
strike, not because they were
demanding additional working
privileges nor increased wages,
but because the company refused
longer to recognize the existing
contract under which they were
laboring, which had been enter
ed into for a period of three
years.
The whole diabolical plan was
framed up by the American
Fuel Co. for the sole purpose
of trying to intimidate the min
ers, or stir them to riotous acts,
to, give the gun men an opportu-
nifty to earn their money shooting
down defenseless men, women
and children, and have as justifi-
cation of their crimes that they
were defending their property.
Why the council of defense, made
up of men of more than ordinary
business ability. permitted them
selves to be tricked into being a
party to such an outrage is past
all human understanding. And
the sheriff of the county? He is
a disgrace to his office. He is
republican, we understand, while
Mr.. Hams is the editor of a dem
ocratic newspaper, and he proba-
bly, witnessed what he thought
was the humiliation of Mr.. Hams
with considerable glee. But none
of the deported men have been
disgraced in the eyes of law
abiding people. The disgrace
attaches solely to the unscrupu-
lous mining company, the out
law gun men, and the hired
satellites who would sacrifice
honor and justice for the favor
of the American Fuel Co.

Registering Women for War.

A campaign has been started
by the Women's committee of
the council Of national defense to
secure registration of the Wo-
men for voluntary service in be-
half of war preparedness. Mrs.
Pauline O NELL, chairman for
Arizona, has received a quantity
of registration cards, and in or
der to secure volunteers among
the women of the state she
desires they write to the head
quarters of the Arizona council
of defense at Phoenix, offering
their services, when cards will
be sent out to them to secure the
complete information which the
women's committee desires to
have. The aim of the committee
in obtaining the registration of
women--is to record in definite
form their training, capacity and
willingness to serve of as many
women as can be raised in Ari-
zona. This registration is entire
ly voluntary, but every woman
is given an opportunity to regis
ter for patriotic service by writ
ing to the council for one of
these cards. The form of the
card has been prepared by the
women's council after consulta-
tion with the United States GEN.
sus Office, so that if later on the
government wishes to take the
census of its women power the
cards can be utilized for this
purpose.
1t is the desire of Mrs. O'Neill
to have the offers on file of as
many women as possible at an
early date in order that their
services may be utilized in the
many phases of war prepared
ness which appear from time to
time.

Soldering Up.


of defense, last Friday the town
of Gallup sobered to a realization
that great crime had been per-
petrated in deporting some of
her citizens, without color of
law, or any reasonable excuse
for such a highhanded proceed
ing. Several of the council of
defense have resigned their posi-
tions in protest of the work of
other members and the gun men,
and mammoth petition has been
signed for presentation to the
governor requesting the removal
of all the remaining members.
The United States marshal ap-
peared on the scene Friday morn
ing, and gave notice to the gun
men to get on the company
grounds at Gibson, and stay
there, and if they had any busi-
ness in Gallup to leave their
guns at the mines when they
came to town. Two of the gun
men were found by the marshal
on the streets few hours later,
and both were disarmed and noti-
fed to get back where they be-
longed.
With the SOLDERING of the mob
spirit, the citizens are beginning
to analize the situation, and
instead of the miners being the
traitors to the government, it is
beginning to soak in that the
American Fuel Co. and their
hired gunmen are the real Of
tenders against the peace and
dignity of the commonwealth,
and that the citizens were in
weighted into the lawless mob un-
der a mistaken notion of patriot
ism, stirred into action by mis-
representation of the actual facts.
The deported men are living quiet
ly at Belen, n. M, where they
were landed, and there they will
probably stay until they are re-
turned to their homes by the same
authority that drove them away,
and the chances are exceedingly
bright that a number of damage
suits will be brought by the men
for false imprisonment.
There had been no rioting or
disturbances on the part of the
miners; they had moved out of
the company houses at Gibson
into Gallup, and their only sins
was meeting together quietly to
consult on the strike situation.
This is a right granted to Amer
lean citizenship by the constitu-
ton of the United States. to as
semble together to peacefully
discuss their rights and seek law
full measures to redress their
wrongs. The parading of the
gun men on the streets of Gallup
was for the sole purposes of try
ing to stir the miners to some
overt act. and the advertising of
the arrival of a train load of
"scabs'' was expected to bring on
a riot. Knowing full we'll the
purposes of the American Fuel
Co. the miners made no demon
stration, which so incensed the
company that then the scheme
was hatched to deport the Of
ficers Of the local unions and a
few of the other influential men,
and to accomplish this the coun-
Gil of defense was called in to
give their unlawful action some
semblance of legality. w. H.
Hams, editor of the Gallup
News, was marked as one of the
victims because he had published
the miners side of the contro-
versy, and according Mr.. Hams,
two gun men with Winchesters
in their hands and revolvers at
their sides, invaded his Office and
forcibly took him to the deten-
