The Telegraph has a habit
of holding ITS head up against
odds and ends, and even great
advesities can not stop it.
The Telegraph was the on
ly paper west of the Mis-
sissippi that did not suspend
during the Civil war. Blank
paper was unobtainable but the
Telegraph came out on wall
paper. One side was a coiored
comic, the other carried the
news.

copy of the Telegraph was in

Derticks Ups

2 Drilling at the King No.
test well, ] "a miles. east OF
Washington in 24-11-25, has
progressed slowly the past
week, due to an unusually
thick strata of hard rock. The
drill was working at a depth
of a little more than 1900 feet
IN the rock last night. Accord
ing to geologists, rock of the
same formation at the Tycap
and other wells of the county
he's not proven to be more than
65 feet thick. The latter part
of last week the drill was only
advancing a few inches each
day in the rock and Mr.. Yount,
the contractor, found it neces-
sary to purchase a special bit
known as the "roller bit" to
to make any headway. With
this an average of 6 Or 8 feet
per day is maintained and it
is thought the rock formation
will be passed up soon.
Gas showings continue at
intervals at the King we'll, a
very good showing having been
noticed Monday night. 1t is
thought this came through
crevice in the rock.
After a careful survey
of the situation, the near
wise guys infesting this
section and watching the
various tests have, it ap-
pears, decided that there will
be no further excitment at the
King well until a depth varl-
ously estimated at from 1000
to 2200 feet is reached.
Att that time it will be
a disappointment to all who
are watching the test if it
does not come in as an oil or
gas we'll, or both.
At the Frank Myers location
in 17-11-25, one mile north OF
Washington and about 2 miles

Legislative Act, of Any

Mailed Out.

County Clerk C. C. Stuart
and Deputy j. S. Monroe, have
spent considerable time lately
in perfecting Confederate PEN
sion applications so that those
entitled to state pensions
through their office may
receive them. Proof of
indigency blanks were mailed
to approximately 165 pension
ers from their office. About
140 of these have been signed
and returned, some of which
must be returned to applicants
for minor corrections. The re-
naming proofs must be in the
hands of the County Clerk by
July 1 in order to obtain a pen
sion. In addition to proof of
indigency, pensioners whose
post office is outside the state
are required to establish proof
of residence in Arkansas

"The last Legislature pass

titled to a pension.
"The County Clerks have
not heretofore rigidly enforc-
ed the law in regard to the

affidavits as they did not
want to leave anyone off the

carry out the intent of the
Act of the last Legislature,
the State Board has made the
following rulings:
FIRST. The indigency affi-
davits must accompany the
Clerks list to the Auditor.
SECOND. All persons who
now receive pensions whose
post offices are outside of the
State must make proof by dis

All the credit given him. Short has
earned. By hard thinking and hard
work the labor movement was led to
victory. He has earned another term
as head of the State Federation of
Labor. If properly supported much
more can be accomplished. Many
questioned his decisions and those of
the executive board, yet when all was
said and done, they had to admit that
the right course was pursued.
The executive board chosen to work
with him should be selected with great
care. The present board was of great
assistance, while sometimes branded
as rubber stamps" just because har-
mony was the rule, harmony that was
lacing in previous boards. They would
agree on certain program and all go
down the line for it, regardless OF the
minority opinion. Such an executive
board should again be elected if pos
sible.

everywhere. Knowledge breaks down
all obstacles. Those who know the
facts Of history and the facts of our
time are the ones best fitted to cope
with the great problems that confront
us. Those who do not know must
either be taught to know or they must
be carried along in the march Of prog
ress by those who do know. It is only
knowledge that leads us forward.
Educate Adults.

derOgatory to our established institn-

Quoted by the state or those privately
endowed.
Conditions, however, have made
it impossible for thousands upon
thousands Of adult workers to avail
themselves Of educational facilities.
It is to them that our work is proper
ly directed. We must reach those
who were unable in their youth to ac-
quire that education which they need.

Short recognized that Mark Reed
would dominate the 1928 session OF

largely by working on Reed, with
whom he is personally friendly, that
he was able to keep an overwhelm-
ingly Republican Legislature from the
complete and utter dominance Of the
ultra-conservative big-interest group
and to get passed a reasonably ade-
quate revision of the workmen's COM

largest employers Of labor in the

want the act re-opened.
Such incidents as these occurring

QUITTING DOWN
FENCE POST COST
SCHOOL OF FORESTRY EXPERT
MENTING ON PRESERVATIYE
TREATMENT

Extensive experiments are now be
ing considered by the school of for
estry, on the preservative treatment
of fence posts with coal tar creosott
| and other wood preservatives.
:" The farmers of Idaho use annu-
| ally an enormous number of fence
posts,'' said DR.. Henry Schmitz, I'M
der whose direction this work is to
be done, in discussing the problem
In many sections of the state the
price of these posts is relatively high
| and the quality, from the standpoint
of durability, not always the best. In
other sections of the state such
woods as western yellow pine and
aspen are generally available but
without treatment their life is short,
making the annual charge per post
relatively high even though the
initial cost per post is low.
Data already available proves that
the average length of life of fence
posts can be increased from two to
four times by proper preservative
treatment and that the annual charge
per post can be reduced under GER
tain conditions. In the case of cot
tonwood for example, from $0.05 to
$0.0O9S or saving of over cents
per post per year can be made. Just
what saving can be expected under
Idaho conditions is not known and
this is one of the points which will
be determined by the experiments.
Some of the details of the open
tank process when applied to Idaho
woods will also be worked out The
nrORpSC in ifCn1f &c ciy II nd
can be practiced by any one. Data
concerning the merits of various pre-
servatives will also be determined as
will the consumption of preservatives
for different sizes of posts, and diff
ferent kinds of wood.
From the point of view of the
forester, wood preservation is a
means of forest conservation. 1t is
estimated that 500,OO0,OO0 fence posts
are used annually in the United
States. If all of these posts were
properly treated, it would only re-
quire the use of 65,00O,0O0 or a saw
ing of about 2,0O0,000,0OO board feet
annually. The total amount of lum-
Der cut in Idaho annually is about
1000, 100000 feet board measure. In
other words, twice as much lumber
could be saved by treating all of the
fence posts in the United States as
the total cut for the state Of Idaho.
=" In order that this work may be
of greater value the school of for
estry would very much appreciate re-
ceiving the following information
from individual farmers or land
owners:
1. Kind of wood used for posts.
2. Average length of life of the
posts.
3. Initial cost per post.
a. Cost of setting per post.
5. General remarks concerning ex-
perience with fence posts.
If all of this information cannot be
supplied, any part of it will be ap-
preciated. Please address the school
of forestry, laboratory of forest pro-
ducts, University of Idaho, Moscow,
Idaho"
