Hav you registered yet? Time Is fly
ing.
This Is an ideal stockmen's winter. No
loss from feeding.
The horse market is more promising in
this section than for many- years. '
Why are there not more strawberries
grown in this county? We grow as
many to the acre as anywhere. The
crop is sure and comes in late in season.
The prices are alway remunerative.
Again thit kind of a crop provide labor,
hence a large payroll.
The annual mid-winter number of the
Evening Capital News of Boise, Idaho, is
at hand. From the front page, which is
adorned with a large engraving of Sho
shone Falls, through the book. It is. char
acterized by fine press, work and careful
study of the conditions in Snake River
alley. Special stress is given to sugar
beet culture and to the irrigation projects
that are transforming the great American
desert into habitable farms. '
There are several things that will poss
ibly bloom along w'uth the buttercups this
spring that will add much to the value of
Union county. Railroads will be built
this year and as there is more thought
than heretofore being given along Irriga
tion lines, it is quite probable that some
thing will be done. Both should go hand
in hand. We need more people and trans
portation and irrigation could bring this
about quicker than anything.
GOOD ROADS
The average Hoosier is not much given
to brag about his blood or to find fault
with his neighbors but when it comes to
persistant "and intelligent labor he takes
high rank. The pioneers in Indiana had
to contend with the softest and muddiest
roads to be found any where in the United
States. There are persons "yet alive in
that state who well remember seeing
passanger on the United States stage
coaches walking behind the stage and
carrying a fence rail on their shoulder to
be ready to pry the coach wheels out of
the mud holes and it was a common thing
for farmers on the roadside to keep! .a
yoke of oxen or span of horses ready on
call to help mired down team.
A recent article written by J. S. Graff
describe two horse team drawing saw-
logs with enough logs on each wagon to
make 2.600 feet of sawed hard wood
lumber a distance of from' 12 to 16
miles. These logs are hauled over
country roads and the loggers do not
have to wait for the roads to freeze or
be covered with snow. The Hoosiers
ave made their roads so good that heavy
oadscan be drawn over them at all
season of the year. -
COAL MMUS STRIKf
The effort of the coal miner and their
employer to come to an agreement at
their recent conference, renders it al
most certain that the first day of coming
April will see the greatest tabor strike in
the United State that has aver occured.
It will extend to all the coal mine of any
coo sequence in the Northern and Western
state.
TU digging of coal is one of the biggest
businesses carried on in the United State.
The annual output of our coal mine in
1902 was 269.361,050 tons, and allow
ing the increase since then to have been
at the same rate it was from 1900 to
1902, it may now be placed at 317,
000.000 tons. Thi. makes a per capita
of over 30 tons to each person in the
United States.
The bulk of this coal is used in creat
ine motive Dower to run machinery, rail
roads and ships and cutting off the coal
iudoIv will seriously handicap all the
manufacturies, railroads and steamboats
in the country, and may, and most pro
bably will, result in the throwing out of
employment many millions of wage
earners and curtail the purchase of raw
material by the factories. The coal
miners claim they now have a fund of
$2 000,000 to enable them to fight to a
finish but this is not a dollar ahead for
the laborers that will be thrown out of
employment
If the strike assumes the proportion, it
now bids fair to, we will feel it seriously
in' Union county by reason of the dimin
ished market tor our truas. wool ami
other of our produce we now sell to the
east
. New York has 300,000 telephones in
operation. This is more than the entire
country had in 1896. The number of
telephones in use exceed 2,200.000 or
one to every thirty-four inhabitants.

A MODERN MIRACLE .
"Tiuly miraculous seemed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place," writes
J. 0. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn "she
was so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lung. Doctors declared her end sc
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discoverv
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and is a healthy woman today.'
