CITY TO SELL ONLY
$4,000 IN BONDS
The Bond Market is Low And Council
Has Decided To Hold Off
Until Later Date.
TO SELL BALANCE IN THE FUTURE


At the meeting of the mayor and
city council last night, it was decided
to sell but $4,000 worth of bonds
instead of the $4,000 as was at
first planned, as the bond market is
slumped at present. This amount
will enable the city to go ahead and
put in and complete for operation
one well of the required capacity and
they will also make arrangements for
further water extension that is nee
sary for the city and will place the
balance Of the amount in bonds later
in the year when the market will
be better.

will probably be lifted and all who
desire may attend, although the Of

that anyone likely to spread any con-

that the officials will withhold their
present grasp of the situation, but
will continue to keep their eyes open
and prevent any spread Of the dis
eases if likely case comes to their
notice.

WAS 1T LOVE OR cHIVALRY?

Clayton, the young civil engineer
from the city, had no thought Of
making love to Easter, the mountain
maid. But Easter loved him, and
with the astonishing frankness of a
child she told him so. What was
he to do? She was loveable, you
know. And he was only human and
very, very lonely in that strange re-
gion. What would you have done,
il you had been in his place? John
Bowers plays this difficult role with
his accustomed skill. And Easter is
none other than that lovely little star,
Mary Miles Minter. The picture is
"a Cumberland Romance" and you
will see it in the Majestic Wednes-
day and Thursday. Plan your dates
so that you won't miss this treat

ROBBERS WERE AMATEURS

G. W. Lemon. president of the bank
at Cullison, who was over Saturday
afternoon, to help in getting the dam
aged door off the vault, after the
would-be robbers Friday night had
failed to blow it loose with nitro
glycerine, states that the explosions
had wrecked the locking mechanism
of the door until it yielded without
much difficulty when the bank of
ficers undertook to open it.
"It is apparent that the men are
amateurs in the bank robbery game"
said Mr.. Lemon, "for if they would
have had safe door to negotiate
even II they had succeeded in getting
into the vault. Their effort to dig
through the brick wall was another
evidence that they knew little about
banks, but they abandoned this after
a little effort"
Inside the vault at the Cullison
bank is a screw-door Mosler safe, as
nearly burglar-proof as any safe that
is made. 1t would have withstood
any assault that this pair of amateur
bank robbers were able to make
against it.
The only loss sustained by the
bank will be the repairs on the vault
door.
There has been some apprehension
on the part of patrons having safety
deposit boxes at the bank, lest their
valuable papers had been tempered
with. They are assured that nothing
was molested, as the robbers did not
get inside the vault at all.-Pratt

TRACE OF OIL IN WELL

A trace of oil has showed up at
the well, and while it is exceedingly
small, it gives hope that more of it
will be found at a greater depth.
The oil found is of very heavy
nature, very much on the parafn
order, but it tells beyond a pread-
venture of doubt that at one time
the rock was permeated with lighter
oils, and the more volatile portions
have evaporated, leaving the heavy
deposits behind to tell the story.
The prospects are looking brighter
all the time and it is confidently ex-
pected by men who know the nature
of the formations that a true sand
will be struck in the near future.
The advice of experts is: $50 long
as you are in the blue shale and white
lime, never stop. Cometimes oil is
found directly in these shales, but
mostly they lead to a sand. Your
we'll broke the record of these shales,
as to the thickness Of them. These
same shales are found in northwest
Burkburnett."
These words coming from man
who has a reputation and who has
been paying particular attention to
the formation found in the Higgins
well, sound mighty good to us, and,
incidentally, to everyone of us.
The well Is now down to a depth
of 1882 feet.-Higgins. Texas,

LEGION WOULD HAVE
BOXING LAW AMENDED
Misint orm alton Leads Many to Think
They Favor Repeal of
the Law

The effort being made by the
American Legion to have the present
boring Jaw amended is taken by
many to mean that they seek re-
peal of the law, and desire that
prize fights be legalized in Kansas.
This is far from the truth of the
matter. The Legion asks but slight
change in the law, one that would
give that organization the right to
conduct boxing contests under the
auspices Of the organization.
The following paragraph from a
bulletin from the headquarters of
the American Legion explains the
the matter when compared with the
copy of the bill following. Read the
paragraph carefully, then read the
bill and see wherein the amendment
Of the law will not allow prize fights
as conducted by the big promoters
for profit.
"The following bill introduced by
Representative L. A. Hasty, has
cleared the Committee on State At
fairs and will be brought to the door
Of the House in the near future. Just
when--the dates cannot be deter
mined. This is House Bill No. 1874,
and is an exact reproduction of the
old law, except as the four words
are cut out after the word public"
-"or i:rivate boxing orr. This would
make it possible for private clubs
and organizations to have boxing and
charge admission 1t would not how
ever, change the present law prohibi-
ting public boxing or prize fights"
The words shown in bold type are
the four words omitted.
The amended bill reads as follows.
and surely cannot be Objectionable.
House Bill No. 1874
Section /. That section 1852 be, |
and the same is hereby amended to
read as follows: Sec. 1852. Any per-
son or persons who shall send or
cause to be sent. publish or other
wise make known any challenge to
fight what is commonly known as .
a prize fight, or shall accept such |
challenge or shall engage in such
kght, or shall engage in any public
"or private boxing or" sparring
match, exhibition or contest with or !
without gloves of any kind for any
prize, reward, or compensation, or at !
which any admission fee is charged or
received, either directly or indirectly.
or shall act as trainer for any person
or persons contemplating a partici-
patton in such fight, exhibition or
contest, or shall act as abettor, back
err, umpire, trainer, second surgeon,
reporter or attendant at
such fight, exhibition or contest. or
in any preparation for the same, and
any owner or lessee of any grounds,
lots, building hall or structure of any
kind permitting the same to he used
for such fights, exhibitions, or con-
tests, shall be deemed guilty of mis-
lemeanor, and upon conviction there
Of shall be imprisoned in the county
Jail not less than thirty days nor;
more than one year.

Wages of Farm
 Help Doubled California and Nevada Have the Highest Scale; Mississippi
 'Ic Lowest
'Ic Lowest

WashinetOn-Wages of hired men on farms have mere than doubled in the last ten years, tripled in the las, twenty years and were more than four tines higher last year than they were in 1870. These changes are shown by statistics of the department of agriculture.
 Wages paid by the month, without board. averaged SG495 for the country as a whole last year, ten years ago they averaged $2I5O, and in 1879 they were $1O.43.
 Day labor at harvest time last year averaged $4S6, without board, and at other than harvest time, S3.59. Ten years ago harvest time labor was paid S1.S2, and at other than harvest time S1.3S. In 1894 harvest time labor was paid SIS and non-harvest time labor eighty one cents a day.
 California and Nevada farmers paid their labor the highest prices for labor. without board, the aver age in those states last year having been S1O7 a month. The lowest av- craze was in Mississippi, where S41 was paid. The average for the Coun- try as a whole was $64.95, the northern Atlantic states averaged $75.54. the south Atlantic $50.56, the north east central states, $70.O9, the north west central states, S79.- @. the south central states, $51.94 and the far western states, S99.43.
 For harvest time labor, without board. North Dakota paid the high est rate with S7.4O day, while at other than harvest time South Da- kota paid the highest rate, with S5.9O q day.-EX.

has been completed, and while many million tons of low grade ore are broken in the mine, this ore cannot be drawn out and milled to show a profit with tn present high prices of all supplies.
 The mill was originally designed for G,OOO tons per day, but it has been demonstrated on many oc- casions that it is capable of continu- ous operation on a basis of 10000 tons per day. With this tonnage, very low operating costs are ob- tained.
 Some three years age the man. agement of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company fully realized that it would be impossible to continue operations indefinitely with the high prices of all material and low grade of the ore. A thorough inves- tigation was therefore started of the possibilities of utilizing the com pany's hydro-electric power for the manufacture of wood pulp and paper. These possibilities have been fully investigated by two sets of Compe- tent engineers, and they reported very favorable on the project. Ne gotiations are under way with East ern capitalists at the present time looking towards the establishment of pulp and paper industry at Thane, and it is hoped that these will be satisfactorily consumated very shortly, and construction work start ed for the establishment of this in dustry.
 During the past three years we have passed though very trying operating period. Costs of all sup plies have been very high, labor shortage has been acute and labor turnover very great, necessitating the breaking in of new men contin- ualIy. In fact operations during this period were only possible due to the splendid organization of the opera ing officials which the company had built up in winch every man strove to maintain the highest efficiency in his department. thus reducing costs and enabling operations to be con- tinued. l. is very much to be re- grettcd that the closing down of the Alaska Gastiueau Mining Com Dauy's operations will mean the dis banding of this fine force of men.
