The snows are quite numerous in our vicinity now days, in other words we are having quite a "batch" of winter. The panic and suowy weather is affecting the laboring class of peo pie quite a lot in our locality. The W. M. Ritter Lumber Co has stopped all their logging camps but one and are just running the mill three days in the week Mr. John Bradshaw has been running his saw mill on Bee Branch, one mile west of Gorge He is cutting lumber for Globe Lumber Co. Mr. Will Woodie is moving to day off Globe Lumber Co.'s land to the W. M. Ritter Lumber Co.'s posessions. He has picked a very nice day for it, can't very handy get muddy. There is quit a lot of complain ing of colds and La Grippe in the vicinity round about. Rev. Downum delivered two very interesting sermons at the church in Mortimer Sunday morn ing and night. If the winter weather don't soon hold up, is is hard to say which will affect the laboring class of people the worst, the panic or the snow. So I will stop until I can catch or think of something more to write to the News. A News Reader Mortimer, Feb. 25th, 1908, GU3UARINE AND AERIAL WAR. It is not more than a few year linco the submarine was in the same position as the airship is today. , A decade ajro there were exoorimental under water boats struggling in shipyards here and there, bumping against problem 14 serious as those the kitemakera and builders of aero plane are -'beating , their wings against today. ;. The enthusiast in air navigation are already telling us; that the day ef the surface moving warship is nea riner a clone that when f ho nmL O J V T NWOj WMW as w v lema of flying are solved nothing on the water can live against the pro jeetilea that could be sained on thir decks. . But the submarine, thouo-h it can not attack the war birds, is enuallv impregnable to their assaults, so that, if the theories of the war prophets are correct, the naviAa of the future will be confined to the clouds and the sea depths, leaving to the barks of Deace the exclusive dominion of the rolling waves. .New lorK American. Our Newest Star. Uncle Sam's list of territories has been seriously demoted within the memory of people now approaching middle aee. who used laboriously to con a list of ten or twelve as a part of their geoeraDhv lessons. The admission of the new state of Okla homa, comprising the former In dian Territory ana Oklahoma Terri tory, reduces the number of territo ries to three Alaska, Arizona and Aew Mexico and bruurs the roll of states ud to fortv-six. Here are some of the figures that indicate the importance of the new state in the most concrete and convincing form; Area in square miles. 70.230 : non- ulation, 1,500.000: taxable Drorer- ty, $800,000,000; estimated annual value of mineral products, $200, 000,000 : annual cron of wheat. 40.- 000,000 bushels; corn, 72,000,000 bushels; cotton, 600,000 bales; value of domestic animals, $98,000,000; bank deposits. $40,000,000: railroad mileage, 5,000.
