fighting
mosquitoes and waiting for another
ship to come in is the usual occupa-
tion.—Lake Charles (La.) American,.
We don’t suppose there's another
thing to be said on either side, gentle-
men. Honors are about even.
The Pope wouldn’t let any woman
wearing low neck and short sleeves
take any part in the recent ceremon-
ies heid at the Vatican, even as a
spectator. He said that the show
and theater was the place for such
clothes to be worn.—Lufkin Tribune.
Aa far as we are concerned, low
neck and short sleeves look pretty
good and the ladies can wear ’em
all they want to.
The taxable values of Tom Green
county show an increase of $500,000.
That’s just about what Angelo has
spent to get the Orient and of course
they are getting,the money back in
increase in value of property.—Bal-
linger Banner.
Money spent in promoting the de-
velopment of a country should be
counted as an investment, for it will
yield returns in many and unexpected
ways. The increased valuation of
property in Tom Green county, due
to the building of the Orient railroad,
will benefit not only those who paid
the bonus, but all citizens of the
county by reducing taxes and making
possible the building of public roads,
creditable public buildings, and doing
countless other things for the bene-
fit and welfare of the people. Pro-
gressiveness and liberality are not
profitable.—Fort
Worth Record.
A true saying, and the town
county that is lacking in this spirit
of progressiveness and liberality, wjll
soon be counted among the has-
beens.
That man Stump, who grinds out
editorial paragraphs for the Port Ar-
thur News, is going to get himself
seriously disliked the very fira* thing
he knows. If he doesn't quiet town
and become a little more docile we
are going to get Charlie Keppler to
write a Dutch poem about him, even
longer than the one referred to in
this paragraph of Stump’s: “Charley
Keppler writes a wedding anniver-
sary poem that says ’dhose veddings
vas chust like a long endless scliain.’
From the number of verses indulged
in, the poem appears to be in the
same fix.”—Orange Leader.
As we’ve never had any Dutch
poetry written about us, we can t de-
cide whether Ford’s announcement is
a threat or a bribe—Port Arthur
News.
After Kep shoots about, ’leventeen
verses of his poetry into your sys-
tem, you’ll have no trouble in decid
ing.
How about high tariff on lumber
when you go to put up a shack for
your wife and children?—Bonita
Standard.
The Dallas News says a lumber
trust controls the price in Texas. At-
torney Genera! Davidson said the
same thing about two years ago, If
the News and the attorney general
will pool their information and the
latter will enforce the law there may
be some relief—Fort Worth Record.
The News, in its blind rage at Sen-
ator Bailey, has made a charge that
it cannot prove, and yet it will not
withdraw the charge. After a search-
ing investigation the Federal govern-
ment has relieved the lumber manu-
facturers from the onus of being
considered a trust, but the News in-
sists that there is such a trust. It
seems to be a case of “scissors” with
the old lady by the sea.
It's our opinion that the farmer
who set a hen on fifteen eggs and
got sixteen chickens is a nature
faker, pure and simple.—Klberton
(Ga.) Star.
Our personal experience convinces
us that he is worse than a nature
faker; he's a natural born liar.—Or-
ange (Tex.) Daily Leader.
The above mentioned farmer re-
fuses to be consigned to the Ananias
Club, but thinks the gentleman from
Orange should be made its president
—Elberton (Ga.) Star.
Declined with thanks, as we are not
eligible We got only one chick out
of a three dollar setting of eggs, and
k died.
We note in the Elberton (Ga.)
Star that “Mr. Jim Sorrow, of Madi-
son county, visited the family of Mr.
Tom Moon last Monday night.” We
presume that, paradoxical as it may
seem, Sorrow was given a royal wel-
come.—Allentown (Pa.) Democrat.
It were preposterous to presume
that, in Georgia, the host in attempt-
ing to drown his Sorrow was trans-
formed into a full Moon.
I will trade my home for cheaper
place and give good terms to party
on .the difference. Also have nice
roller top desk, a typewriter desk
and a Smith Premier typewriter for
sale. H. B. JACKSON. 26-3t
Exercising Their Rights.
Referring to the Leader editorial
paragraph yesterday that there seem-
ed to be more dogs in Orange since
the announcement that the dog law
was to be rigorously enforced than
ever before, the city marshal says the
"wild orgies” of the doggies may re-
sult from their increased exercise of
their rights to bark—that the more
they are licensed the more they bark
—they are exercising their rights of
free speech. He has licensed 108
dogs, and 108 dogs can make a mighty
lot of bark.

Be—
To Cure Defects in Speech.
Philanthropic gentleman of Vienna
have recently established a school de-
signed to help or cure the defects in
in speech of the children of that
city, according to Dr Leopold Sen-
ner,of that city, who is in Washing-
ton on a visit.
“The length of the course is five
weeks,” said Dr. Senner, "and in-
struction is given two hours each
day during that period, Sundays, of
course, excepted. The number of
pupils in each class is limited to
eight. The children are compelled to
withdraw from other school atten-
dance, as it is imperative that they
devote their whole time to the course
of curing stuttering In order to
gain admittance to these classes the
children must present a certificate
from their family physician that they
are free from any organic disease
that would be liable to interfere with
their cure, and also the consent of
the child’s parents or guardian in
writing must be presented when the
child is admitted.
Already there have been a number
of cores,” said the physician, "and
there is no doubt that this new chari-
ty will be of inestimable benefit to
thousands of children who are- af-
flicted with the embarrassing, not
to say dangerous, habit of stammer-
ing. Stammering it, aa everyone
knows, apparently easy to effect a
permanent cure in a short time,
where no organic disease is ap-
parent. Other cities of Austria have
taken tip the idea, and before many
months we expect to have thousands
of children under treatment."

With The Lumbermen
»Y ARTHUR L fORD
While a very satisfactory run of orders from the interior have been
received by the mill* in Orange ,jhis week, there h»» been no great rush,
and sales managers who have been interviewed characterize this as a sort
of lull between two storms. The recent unusally hot wave which swept
over the country, burning and withering crop* and vegetation of all kinds,
threw a considerable scare into some of the more timid of the lumber deal-
ers and put a stop temporarily to the buying which was beginning to get
so brisk, but the hot wave has been broken, cooling and refreshing showers
have fallen in many sections and the outlook is more promising than it
was. Of course, in some sections of the country crops have been practi-
cally destroyed, but in others they are flourishing and we are of the opin-
ion that the total crop movement is going to be just as large as it always
is. The cotten crop may be short, but there is a big crop of’corn, bumper
crops of wheat,splendid cops of rice, while the Louisiana cane is the best
for many years. All of this spelU prosperity in big chunks for the farmers
and for the lumbermen, and statements of some raifroad officials to the
contrary, it means an almost certain car shortage of more or less degrees of
stringency. Already a shortage of cars is bring felt in some sections and
this stringency will be accentuated when the crops begin to move in real
earnest. For this reason, we repeat the advice given before in this column,
to the dealer in lumber, that he who is wise will see the handwriting on the
wall and place his orders now before it is too late,
The market is constantly growing stronger, with an occasional advance
on some item that is getting short on the mill yards. The tendency is
constantly upward and while there will not be any sudden jump in prices,
they are going to get stronger all the time and lumber bought now will
cost the dealer less money on his yard than lumber he will buy thirty days
from now—and he stands a much better show right now of getting prompt
delivery than he will have after another thirty days have passed.
The railroads are warily coming into the market, placing an occasional
schedule of large proportions, and scattering others out among a number
of mills. Mills at Orange are pretty well loaded up with sawing orders.
In fact, the lumber reporter is advised that there is a rush of orders of this
kind, but sales managers are desirous of seeing a little bigger rush in the
demand for material to be shipped from the yards.
The export demand is becoming more active and while no exporter will
admit it, or if he does it is with considerable reluctance, the fact remain*
that the mills are finding a ready sale for sawn timber at a better price
than has prevailed for some time, and for primes at a price that is entire-
ly satisfactory, In fact, a top price was recorded for sawn timber here thi#
week when a sale of a good sized schedule was effected at $18110 at the mill.
Of course, this is higher than the ruling price, but it was for good stuff,
30-foot average, and the buyer wanted it quick.
A numbers of buyers have visited the mills recently and there: is sn ac-
tivity apparent that has not been seen for some time, indicating that there
is an awakening in demand on the other side of the ocean and that the ex-
po, t business is f > -rg to feci the same ouickening that- is being enjoyed
by the domes ie t::’de.
Schedules have been placed with mills at Orange for material to be ship-
ped to Mexico, to the West Indies, to South Africa, to England and to
Europe, as well as to North Atlantic coast points, all of which promise
an exceedingly busy fall and winter movement of yellow pine by water
from Orange and front other points in Southeast Texas.
Though there is considerable activity in the export trade, a movement
to induce manufacturers in this section to become member* of an ex-
porter’s association has not met with miyh encouragement here, though
a few of the manufacturers have looked upon the proposition with favor
in other parts of the Southeast Texas lumber district

A visitor to Orange yesterday was Mr. S. R. Howell, representing
the Ozan Lumber company, of St. Louis, his mission in this section
being to place some good sized order* for car material to be used by
the railroads in repairing and putting in good shape rolling stock that has
been neglected for some time past, but which is now being equipped for
hard service as rapidly as possible in order to meet the increasing demand
for railroad equipment. Mr Howell reports business in a very satis-
factory condition in the St. Louis territory, though there are no big
things being done. He recalled the fact that he was a large buyer of
material from the Lutcher & Moore Lumber company twenty-five year*
ago, when H. J. Lutcher and G. Bedell Moore were just beginning to
build up the business which has since developed into such immense pro-
portions. His company was operating at that time from Omaha and
Topeka, and there was no lumber shipped from Southern mills into
Chicago or territory beyond. While here yesterday Mr Howell was
very much interested in inspecting the soda dip process in operation at
the Lutcher & Moore Lumber company mills, thi* process bring used
to prevent the lumber from blueing or staining while in the stack, and
which has proven quite a success. ['^
A representative of the United States Navy Department is in Orange
today for the purpose of inspecting the final shipment of a schedule of
rift sawed long leaf yellow pine decking being manufactured by the Lutcher
and Moore Lumber Company, to be used in the construction of the new
United Stated battleship, Utah Thi* material has to be the very lineal
that can be manufactured and no concern in the country is better prepared
to fill the requirements than the Lutcher tk Moore Lumber company Cut
from the Calcasieu long leaf yellow pine that has made this company fa-
mous, this decking »* as fine as anything that ever dropped from a aw
in a yellow pine plant. The Lutcher & Moore Lumber company have fur-
nished all of the yellow pine decking used in the battleship Utah, and
also furnished decking for some of the other monster battleships of the
new navy of Uncle Sam. This material commands a fancy price, a thou-
sand feet of it costing so near a hundred dollar hill that it would make
an ordinary lumber editor scramble around considerably to be able to
pay for a few thousand feet of it—but Uncle Sam wants the very best
and he has the money to pay for it.
When President Wm H. Taft- visits the ranch of his brother, Chat.
P. Taft, near Corpus Christi, this fall, he will find a brand new bath
house built for his accommodation and constructed of yellow pine lum-
ber manufactured at Orange Assistant General Manager F. H, Farwell
of the Lutcher fk Moore Lumber company, smilingly advised the lumber
reporter yesterday that they had just launched President Taft’s bathtub,
and when the reporter looked a little mystified, he explained that they
had just shipped a special carload cf lumber that had been ordered for
the purpose of constructing this bathhouse for the President. The concern
buying this lumber bought several cars of other material, but the order
specified that this particular lot should be loaded in a car by itself and
also specified that it was to be used for the purpose named, so even though
the president does not make a visit to Orange he will hsve the extreme
satisfaction of using a bathhouse specially constructed for him of yellow
pine lumber manufactured in the Gate City of Texas,
The Miller-Link Lumber company are putting in extensive logging
camps at Bunker Hill a station on the Orange & Northwestern railroad.
from which they expect to log their mill at Orange far the next five years.
They have a splendid body of timber in that section, sufficient to keep
their mill here in logs for five years or longer They are building modern
logging camps, with convenient and comfortable homes for their em-
ployees, a big commissary and office, and will apply for a postoffice.
Telephone facilities will be supplied and the new camps will be constructed
and operated on strictly modern lines The Newton mill of the company
will be logged from camps located on the new extension of the Orange
A Northwestern railroad north of that place.
It is rather an unusual sight to see log trains brought into Orange
over the Southern Pacific railroad, htnee conaiderabte attention has been
attracted here thi* week by the*e log trains, The Houston Oil company
own stumpage rights on a tract of land in Orange county which are soon
to expire and they are cutting the timber now, having sold it to the
Miller-Link Lumber company. The logs are being brought in over the
Southern Pacific railroad and dumped into the Miller-Link Lumber com-
pany’s booms at Orange.
