PAYMENT OF $5O,OOO
 TO HOWELL, ORDER

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 27.- The Arkansas Railroad commission to- day directed Hugh L. Cooper and Com pany, of New York, acting as trustee for the North American company of St. Louis, to pay to Walker Howell, president of the Dixie Power company, $50, 0,000 because of alleged breach of contract in connection with water power, development a. Tucker shoals in the White river near Cotter, Ark, and in ruling charged the Cooper com pany with "reprehensible and fraudu- lent" conducts.
 The ruling was on a petition filed by Howell which asserted that the Cooper company holding one year option on the Dixie company, was to furnish data to the Federal Power com mission for the purpose of obtaining a license in the name of the Dixie concern but instead made applica- tion in their own name for a federal permit at Tucker shoals.
 The award was made on a contract which it was contended provided that such a sum should be paid in the event of termination of contract before one half of the services contracted for were carried out.

PINE INDUSTRY IS ACCORDED
 5MORE YEARS
Department Of Agricul-
 ture Urges Experiment Station For South

WASHINGTON. March .27.--Do- nestle lumber consumption is three times the annual replacement through new, growth, according to a special re- port of the agricultural department, made in connection with its iudorse- ment of the proposal that an experi- ment station b eestablished fin the southern pine region of the United States" The department estimated that 07 per cent of the mills now operat- ing in the south will have used their reveserve timber within ten years, add ing that these mills control all avail able virgin timber.
 An Uureent Need
 There can be no question:" the report said, ..of the urgent need of the establishment of such a station in the southern states at the earliest pos sible moment. A few facts as t6 the present forest situation forest situation will make this clear.
 Recent estimates indicate that the production of gum naval stores in the. southern pine belt will within ten years have been reduced to such an extent that export market, and even our own, must look elsewhere for their main s4PpAys HI fINVIth OukoAAAnt WhANn "eNo for many years the leading state, the production of naval stores is now negligible, as is also the case in South Carolina, Georgia and. Alabama will be practically eliminated as large pro ducers of naval stores within five years, Florida and Mississippi in eight years, Texas in ten years, and Louisi- ana, the last stronghold of the indus try, in 15 years. Destructive methods of turpentining coupled with lack of intelligent forest management, has helped to bring the naval stores in- dustry to it's present position.
 Get 10 years As Limit
 Many well informed lumbermen place the duration of important com merciai cut at no longer than 10 years. Although cut of hardwood in the southern Mississippi valley is still on the increase, this last of the great hard wood regions of the country is well on it's way toward complete exploitation and it is only question of time when the virgin stands and large mills of today will be replaced by culled second grade stands operated by small portable mills. While the bulk of the bottom lands stands are on the fertile soil which will, for the most part, be clear for agriculture, there are also large areas particularly in the uplands which can and should be used for the .perma- nent production of timber"

TAX BOARD BUSY HEARING CASES
 FROM JEFFERSON
Judge Herzberg Says Fine Spirit Of Co-opera-
 ton Shown

Judge L. l.. Herzberg, chairman, and T. F. Pitts of the state tax commis. sion were in the office of the Jeffer- son county tax commission Thursday passing upon, property assessment for the new year. They will be in Bir- mingham for about a week.
 It is the function of this commission, which works in conjunction with. the local commission, to examine the assess ments made by Tax Assessor l.. R. Dillon and make such changes in the assessment figures as may be consid. cred proper. The state commission's chief duty, however, is to settle dis putes regarding, assessments passed upon by the county commission in ments are too high.
 "We are finding a spirit of coop eration among local officials and lief ferson county property owners alike, Judge Herzberg said Thursday. There seems to be general satisfaction with the assessments already made. Prob ably not more than 5 per cent are ob- jected to-"
 OubAo8 tuCH0ASc4
 The state tax commissions duties have been increases by the provisions of law passed at the last session of the legislature requiring assessments of corporation property and capital stock to be made originally by the commis- sion. In the past these assessments have been made by the county tax assessor.
 The total assessed valuation of Jef- ferson county property was approxi- mately $241 ,000, 900, last year, Judge Herzberg said, and indications are that it will be considerably larger this year. Last years total for the entire state was given at $976,O00, 900.
 The Jefferson county board of re view, created by the last legislature and consisting of the five members of the board of revenue and Tax Assessor Dil- lon, will begin it's work the second Monday in April and is also required to pass upon assessments, determining whether they shall be raised or low. cred, according to fluctuations in prop erty values.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 27.- Experiments in thought transmission unprecedented in scope and aiming eventually at transatlantic communica- tion by telepathic waves are under way, it was learned here today from a mem- Der of the Harvard faculty. Already thoughts have been received here from New York and mental transmission from Paris to Cambridge is soon to be attempted, it was announced.
 Dr. Gardiner Murphy, research fellow in psychology, and Dr. Harry Helson, an assistant in the Harvard psychological department, are in charge of the experiments. The latter de- clared the program the most extended yet undertaken in the field of mental telepathy.
