KILLED IN FALL
FROM A TREE

The sudden death of Rhoda
Rushing under peculiar circum-
stances Friday was distinct shock
to the people of the Rnshing's
Greek community. Mr.. Rushing,
who is a son of M. J. Rushing of
Rushing's Greek, left home TO 90
to Mr.. Coles, a neigh hbor, about Z
o'clock that morning. He was
fond of hunting, and took his gun
with him.
Later in the day, when he failed
to put in his appearance, some of,
the family called at Mr.. Coles and
learned that Rhoda had not been
there. They began search, which
extended well into the evening,
and his dead body WAS found at the
foot, of tree about s o'clock. His
face was buried in the ground and
one arm broken. Shoes, coat and
hat off and his gun leaning against
the tree. A squirrels nest was in
the tree, aud the supposition is, he
climbed the tree to make an inves-
tigation and fell to the ground.
We learn that his heart was af-
fected, and he had recently con-
suited physician in regard to his
physical condition. Climbing is
indeed a vigorous exercise. He
may have paid the penalty of at
tempting too much, and death may
have taken place while in the act
of climbing. However, this is all
conjecture. Mo- will ever know
for a certainty just how the spark
Of life was blotted out.
Funeral services were held Sat-
urday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. W. W. Henley, and his body
was consigned to the tomb at Rush
ing's Greek Cemetery. His funer!
al was pathetic beyond expression
Not one, as the last goodbyes were
said, but will feel that loss has
been sustained for which there is
no compensation.

CAMDEN HUNTER
ENDS POSSUM HUNT

Postmaster E. O. Thomas and j.
FL. Jordan, railroad agent, recently
engaged in possum hunt with
Ray and Frank Walker. They
bagged ten specimens of these mar
supiate, carnivorous mammals. At
first, when the hunt was over, a Sc
rious question arose as to the num-
ber, but, upon investigation, the
facts have been verified. 1t is
claimed that good many more
would have been caught if Mr..
Jordan had not fatly refused to
carry them further.

CAMDEN 43
GLEASON 6

Camden. high school ran rough
shod over Gleason high school
basket ball team on the local court
last Friday afternoon by the over
whelming score of 43 to 6. They
did almost everything to the Glea-
son boys except make them play
dead. Even allowing for the weak
ness of their opponents, @. ID. 3.
played a nifty game of basket ball.
The most noticeable Improvement
in their play over the previous
week was the accurate passing of
the whole team and the discontin-
uing the use of long shots. In al
most every instance the ball was
worked up to within striking dis
tance of the goal before any at
tempt was made to score. Henley,
especially, showed much improve
ment in this play. The result was
apparant and gladdening to all the
fans.
E. Devault, Fl. Devault and
Parker did their share. Parker
was off form slightly due perhaps
to an attack of shakes earlier in
the week. Henley and Rushing
both played splendidly. Besides
playing their men safe at all times,
they scored twenty eight points.
Rather a busy afternoon.
Glad to see SO much improve
ment in play of team, both as a
whole and individually. With dali
ly practice this week hope to see
them beat Gleason on their home
court by an even greater score than
last week.

S. r. GIBSON
COMES TO GRIEF

s. r. Gibson of Camden has been
bound over to the criminal court

against him by r. w. Thompson,
deputy State fire prevention COM

According to Mr.. Thompson,
Gibson shipped box of picture

Card of Thanks.

To the friends who came to US in
our hour of trouble and contributed
all that human kindness could sug
gest to aid and comfort, we return
most heartfelt thanks, and although
such devoted friendship can not
efface the sad memories that linger
around our vacant chair, it brings
into view the brightest side of hu-
manity and throws the pure light
of an unsel6sh friendship into a
darkened home. More, we could
not ask for them; more, friendship
could not give.

DEPUTY WARDENS
IN BENTON COUNTY

The quail season will soon open
in Benton County and { am desir-
ious and very anxious that every
sportsman observe the game laws
aud purchase his hunting license
before he goes hunting. Hereto
fore the game laws have not been
observed as they should have been,
and the result has been that the
game has been destroyed without
protection.
I am appointing deputy wardens
in Benton County for the protec-
tion of your game and fish and this
department is anxious indeed that
all sportsmen cooperate with me
and see that the game laws are en-
forced and that every hunter buys
his license. Your license fund
goes to this department to help de-
fray the expenses of enforcing the
law for the protection of game and
fish, and the law provides that the
department must live within it's rev.
enue; or, in other words, they can
use no fund except that derived
from the sale of licenses and fines
from their convictions.
[ am trying to make you a good
game warden. | am a sportsman
and [ know that the ma jority of
the sportsmen in Benton County
are real mon and glad to assist the
department. all they can, and can
render this department. valuable
service by speaking a good word
for the protection of the game to
your friends aud neighbors and in
sist that they equip themselves
with hunting licenses before the
season opens. | am trying to en-
force the laws on high plane and
[ am instructing my wardens to
disregard frivolous cases, but to
prosecute the wilful violetors.
The revenue in some counties is
so small it is impossible to employ
a warden at a salary until the rev.
enue derived from the county is
sufficient to justify the department
to pay salaries,
/ will greatly appreciate all COOP
GRAFTON and investigation of the
deputies. [ expect every sports
man and the citizens generally to
assist me to stock every stream in
Tennessee with fine fish, but before
l can do 80, | must have the full
cooperation, and the dynamiting
and seining will have to be stop
ped.

AT LAST ALASKA
 WILL BE DEVELOPED

Albuquerque, N. M., July 27, 1921- One million cords of pulpwood on the Tongrass national forest, Alaska, has just been sold by the forest service to the Alaskan American Paper cor poration. The timber is located along the east shore of the Behm Canal, Revillagigedo Island, about 32 miles from Ketchikan. the largest city in the territory. The contract price of the timber was 60 cents per 100 cubic feet for spruce and cedar, and 30 cents per 100 cubic feet for all other species. The sale area covers 45.000 acres and extends for 55 miles along the coast.
 Twenty per cent of the forest is spruce, 66 per cent hemlock. and IA per cent Alaska and western red cedar.
 A conditional award has been made by the forest service to the company pending the approval by the federal power commission of their application for a hydro-electric power license. The timber sale contract covers an initial period of 32 years. or until 1853. The price of the stumpage will be re-de- termined and fixed bv the government in 1923. and every five years there after. Cutting must begin by October 1, 1923. thus allowing two years for organization and construction of i'm provelhents. The contract also re- q,ires the establishment of a pulp mill of not less tan 25 tons capacity by October 1. 1926. A yearly cut of from two and one-half to three mil lion curic feet is contemplated.
 The award of this sale is in line with the general policy of the forest service for making available the tim Der resources of Alaska as a means of increasing the supply of pulpwood for the United States. The national forests of the territory probably con- tain 100 100000 cords of timber suit able for the manufacture of newsprint and other grades of paper. Under scientific management experts say that t.ese forests can be made to pro duce 2 000,000 cords of pulpwood an- nraliy for all time. or enough to man. ufacture one-third of the pulp prod uc.s now consumed in this country.
 The Alaska forests a'eo contain the second chief essential of the pulp and paper manufacturing industry, name ly, water power. No accurate sur- vev of the power resources has yet been made, but known projects have possible development of over 100,- GOO h. D., and it IS believed that a comp'ete exploration of the national forests in southern Alaska will show not less than quarter million poten- tial horse power than can be develop ed from water.
 Forest service cruisers are now working in Alaska collecting data for further use and development of the forests. O~e block of timber contain ing 335 100000 cubic feet-enough to keep a J00-ton pulp mill running hes been advertised and is now ready for sale.
