July 16.—Al though it has been known for a num ber of years that fire-killed timber has a considerable value In railroad and mining operations in Colorado, it inis been brought out only recently !>v the forest service that a wide num ber of uses are open for this timber, and that in certain respects it has act ual advantages over green wood. These facts are deduced from a studv of conditions on the Pikes Peak forest reserve, where the ravages of fire have been particularly wide spread and destructive. In many in stances the burned timber is the only kind available at a particular point, for example, in proximity to a mine ()■• a spur of railroad, so for timbers a d ties the dead material has been used for many years—fifteen years at Palmer Lake, seven at Florissant for railroad ties, and longer than this for mine timbers. Three years ago it was first used for box boards and has proved excellent. In May. 1905, there was a sale for telephone poles. The species used are red fir. yellow pine, lodgepole pine, limber spruce, range pine, pinon. Englemann spruce, and blue spruce. Of these, the pines, red fir. and Englemann spruce fur nish the bulk of of the material. I'inie elapsed since burning seems to make no great difference in the value o , ‘ the wood, except that when serious ' yoking results it loses its value for 'ox purposes. The timber used has been burned til the way from three to fifty-five years. Tim amount of this timber which lias been used is very considerable, '"•••re ,.as ! eon one sale from the re- NO GAMBLING IN OKLAHOMA. Good Farmers Have Driven Out the Men Who Did It. Tod.iv there are not five towns in Oklahoma of any importance where gambling is conducted openly as It '’•"s six years ago. As late as three years ago the biggest games ever seen in the territory were running In Oklahoma City, though confined to upper iloors or basements. During all the gamb- i ian citizen Church or Party—Which? As in the days of Joshua, there has come a demand that we. as citizens, make definite choice of allegiance. The voters of this State have been duly put on notice that if they do not train with the supporters of the disnensary system, diligent and de- 'ei ained effort will be made to de- 1 ''it all and singular candidates dar-i ing to dissent. Thus the party’s lash | s cracked in the face of the Christ-! IKE KNIGHT UNDER ARREST. The As- i i “Perfect Gentleman’’ Who saulted Mrs. Chapin. Greenville, July IT.—A dispatch from Aiken Sunday says: Sheriff Raborn today received word that a negro supposed to be Ike Knight, who committed a criminal assault on Airs. L. S. Chapin recently, was under ar rest at Bartow, Ga.. ami he left at once for that place. It is said that the n 'gro who has been apprehended at Bartow fits the descrintion of Knight which was sent out and the sheriff is of the opinion that he is the man wanted. The message from Bartown stated tjiat the negro had confessed and ask ed that the offic. r who came for him bring anv reward that mav have been offered. 1'pon this information Mrs. Chapin offered a reward of $lut' for the negro’s arrest. Mrs. Chapin today heard from her son who is an officer in the English army. Mrs. Chapin is -til! living it ' i • ■ ioi box boards and one for tei- ':: • poles, but the three main uses | :n,.t to be for mine timbers, rail-| o’, ties, and firewood. !'• ; fir is preferred for railroad ties, : •!! yellow pine, limber pine and | :si;;-, pine.

The material used had bt < n burned from one and one- half to four years. The Englemann muce was excellent, amt the lodge- pole pin,, also gave good results. The tiii < asoning had driven the odor out tin- pine so that it could be used packing crackers and biscuits. Also on account of the perfect season ing the boxes remained tight when pat up and therefore sold better than preen boxes. For mine timber till species are u-ed. if of the requisite size. Dry tim ber is preferred because of its light ness. durability and stiffness, all principally due to its better season ing For many purposes fire-killed tian- the last two vmonths lers in Oklahoma City upon whom the law could lay its hands have been put in jail and kept tli re. They had violated injunctions prohibiting them from using certain buildings for gambling purposes. Guthrie has been without a big ganu* fr ■ more than a year. The change is due to the activity among religions organizations, a pub lic sentiment that rests upon practi cal as well as moral grounds, and to the displacement of certain adventu rous pioneer citizens bv more conserv ative men and women from older communities. The explanation of an old time boss gambler, a man who came to Oklahoma at the opening, mav not be without interest. He said: “In niv town in earlier years, when gambling was under full headway, the producers were mostly farmers. These farmers were western men who had been with the vanguard of western sentiment all their lives. They had no more hesitency in gamb ling than they had of smoking a cigar or taking a drink' of whiskey. They had been accustomed to it all their lives. When one came to town I with his pocket book, lie took his team ( to a iiverv stable and went to taurant or a hotel. I'suaily he stay in town all night. After supper lie would take a few drinks and then saunter around to a gambling house, always within easy reach, and without danger of raids. In many instances lie went home broke. The agricultural nrosp ritv in Ok lahoma in the last ten years brought a great advance in the value of farm property. Farmers from eastern and northern States began coming to Ok lahoma. with bank accounts. The original settler was offered $'>,000 and sometimes as high as $l".UtiO for his quarter section of land, which to him seemed more than the land was worth and he sold it and moved to other localities. The owners hail practiced economy the*- lives. Thev had lived in com munities where garbling was not tol erated. "When these farmers "ome to town they bring produce with their wheat or corn, and a basket of lunch to save going to a restaurant. They deposit their money in a bank. Instead of taking their horses to a livery stable, unless the weather is bad. they feed them from a wagon box. This kind of thing is not profitable for the gam bling business, but it lias happened in my portion of the territory, and I believe that it has happened else where.’’ and intimidation avowed as the first and formidable means of coercion to be used by the advocates of dispensary. Everv intelligent person ought to know that the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors tor beverage purposes are both expressly forbidden bv the churches, whose laws each member has solemnly promised to observe. Through the false and per nicious notion that it would be the less of two evils many have doubtless felt heretofore wai ranted in advocat ing the dispensary rather than liar- rooms. Thev seem to have forgot ten that nowhi-re is the Christian per mitted the choice of one of two evils. On the contrary, he is by the code of Christian ethics bound always in the presence of two evils to choose neith er of them. There is manifestly no alternative in such a case, else there would obviously be complicity with and advocacy of evil—a thing utter ly inconsistent with Christianity. The liquor business is possitively before the sovereigns of South Caro- liu'’ for protection and prepetuation, or else for repudiation. The issue •vas never, perhaps, so well defined imon - us.

July 17.—Tin cor oner’s inquest into the cause of the wreck of the Plymouth steamer ex press July 1 whereby twenty-seven lives were lost, resulted in a verdict that the derailment of the train was due to the high speed at which i’ was running and which was contrary to the company’s orders. The jury declined to allow the ver dict to be recorded as one of acci dental death, saving thev considered that a certain amount of blame at tached to the company as well as to th< engine driver. Counsel for the London & South- we tern Railroad announced that the railway accepted full responsibility for the accitient and all the legal con sequences resulting from it The guard of the express testified tb”» the ill-fated train was running at the rate of at least fifty miles an hour through Salisbury, whereas the proper speed is thirty or forty miles.
