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. ,:

Money In Your Pocket to Read This
Commencing Monday, November 28, buy goods with red - -.
tags on them, we remove the red tag, write your name on
it, and deposit it in a locked box in our office. Every
Saturday night we will blindfold a child who will draw out
two tags. The names appearing on these two tags will
each be paid .$5 in gold.
We are adding more goods to our Red Tag Sale every
day and it is all good stuff, too, and cut to such a low
; price that all can afford to buy. In this sale are ladies'
and children's coats, remnants of dress goods, ladies' furs, '
. mittems, fascinators, shoes, house slippers, felt lined shoes
and slippers, infants' shoes, children's shoes, men's shoes,
men's hats, men's clothing, men's rubbers and felts,

able stuff , and on everything we have cut the life out of .
prices; not 25 per cent off, but twice that. Come and see
for yourself . Sale runs every day.
. We are doing this because we need money and must have
it and are willing to stand a loss to get it. When we get
' the money we need, then we will take off the red tags.
' But don't you wait for us to do that. Ask any of your
friends and neighbors if we have cut our prices any on
this Red Tag Sale.
This is to be strictly cash, and no goods returnable. But
you can try .the goods on here and examine them all you
, want to. At the extremely low price that we are selling
this stuff we could not afford to give the time to make ,
exchanges, because we are going to be good and busy. , '
Remember every Saturday night some one is going to
get those two $5 gold pieces
P. S. If you live oat of town and draw this money we'll send you our checK

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

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
