DAY CURRENT IS URGENTLY NEEDED DARK STORES AND OFFICES DUR ING WINTER DAYS RELIEF IS OFFERED. There has been, considerable talk the last few weeks of a day electric current, caused no doubt by the ex ceptionality cloudy and foggy weather 'this fall. It is a fact there has) (been few days when lights were not needed in moat ot the stores except a few hours in. 'the mididile of the) day. It has already been demon situated that several of the court house Qf1 fiioes are too dark to work In during winter days without artificial llgilii. This is esipecIaiHy true of the clerk's and sheriff's offices. The! matiter has been brought to the attention of the county court. The company now furnishing elec tric light has so far nefusedl to In stall a day current, and this fact is causing those who see the, great need of it to look elsewhere for reMlef. It is stated that the Joseph Electric company is using only oaie-thlrd of its power and wants to come -toi .this city with its lines. ' It already has 0 franchise from the county court, over the roads to Enterprise city limits, and a number of farmers along the route ,want the current not onlly for lighting but for power purposes also. It is stated hat the Joseph com pany has offered to sell .the local company current at wholesale rates to make up any deficiency that might ensue' iif the lines and useful ness of .the local system were ex tended, a diay current glvem and also to provide a reserve eo the . town would not he far darkness during tine cold snaps of .winter. . If any such arrangement couldi be effected to .the mutual iniiereat of all parties concerned, including the customers 'present and prospective of such an improved and enlarged ser vice, that would probably be the beot way out of .the, difficulty. The, majority, of .the 'business! men talked to oni the subject, while. Im patient for the enlarged service, say , they would prefer only .one system In town. A few are outspoken for enlarged service, especially day cur rent, get it how we may. There is some talk of a, municipal plant. ' The most urgent need of a " flay current rigfoft now is for lighting pur poses, but it would prove a big boon for power also, and a number, of) motor- would be installed. 1 ; Leo Forsyth, of the local com par said Saturday that no offer had) been received to the last yean from the Jo seph company to Bel .them current. ,: New Suits Filed.

STATE CASH FROM NATIONAL FORESTS AMOUNT RECEIVED OVER! HALF MILLION, DOLLARS ORZGON'8 LARGE INCREA8E. Washington, November 30 For the fiscal year landed June 30 laPt, the U. S. Department of Agriculture announces, the 25 per cent of Na tional Forest revenue which will go to tiie, stoitesi for road and Bchool Purposes amounted, to $506,194 34. This was $67,492.03 more Khan laot year, or an increase of a lditfele over 15 per cent. The; payments are an offset to th loco of Income from ta;:abile 'property sustained) through withdrawal of ithe forest land from entry under the public land laws. The amouna which will go to the various states are as followo: Arizo na, $51,220.33, Arkansas $2,904.44, Cal ifornia $60,752.91, Colorado $50,306.19, Florida $706.38, Idaho; $66,074.65, Kan. sae $1,004.67, Minnesota $457.37, ,Mon- tana $83,678.38, Nebraska $2,820.25, Nevada $16,314.33, New Mexico $28,629.53, Nnth Dakota $63.64, Ok lahoma $626.10, Oregon $39,635.87, South Dakota $9,808.93, Utah $32",906.49 Washlngtoni $23,671.89, Wyoming $34,704.64. Noteworthy Is the especially heavy increase over the amounts lest year In certain states, m California the amount rose by over 25 'per cent, In Idaho by oven 35 per cent and in Or egon by nearly 50 per cent. The In creases are the 'result of Increased activity Urn; National Forest timber sales In. these states and aire on earnest of what will happen as the timber supply which the Government Is caring for camk Into full) demand. Since fthe cut.of .t;Imber.,wlll always be limited to 'what .the forests" yM keep on growing, the Income to the states will be permanent, not transi tory, as would have been1 the cose If hasty end improvident exploita tion had beeni permitted. According to the calculations of the Depart ment of Agriculture officials ithe states will eventually receive many times what the forests are no,w yield ing them, for there is as yet, on! the whole only a very (restricted' demand for the Government's! timber.
