20 extreme fatigue for any limited
period. At this time, however, the
trail was 50 bad. on account of the soft
ening Of the SHOWS in the hot June
sun, that they concluded 10 strike for
higher wages. This was the cause Of
some little delay for us.
Once we saw the siwash safely start
ed with their packs, We set out our
selves, at about Q O'Clock in the after
noon. At this time of year the trip
is usually timed By the Indians, 70
that the deepest snow will bs crossed
between IL o'clock at midnight and 3
in the morning; for in these hours a
crust forms, which In daytime u soft
ened by the warm sun. Cur way soon
led us on to glacier-like field 81 snow.
which often sounded hollow to our
feet as We trod, and u intervals We
could hear the water rushing beneath.
The grade became steep, and the fog
closed around Us thickiy, Joining with
the twilight Of the Alaska June night
to make a peculiar oDgcIrity which
gave things weird, ghostly appear
ance. As we toiled Up the steep In
Cline o. hardened STOW, those ahead Or
Us looked like huge giants; while those
on whom We looked down were ugly,
sprawling dwarfs.
All the rest Of the climb was oyer
snow, the ascent being very steep.
With cliffs on all sides, which doomed
up gigantic and ghostly. II ii i'm
possible TO describe the effect pro-
duced by these bare. Jagged rocks ris-
ing out Of the snow field, in the silence
the fog and the twilight. We were
forclbly reminded Of some Of Dore's
imaginative wings.

Something novel fl the way of voting
machinery has recently been patented
In England By Arthur r. Collins. city
engineer 81 Norwich. The ballots are
printed on stih paper or card. bound
up In books, each leaf being 81 perfor-
ated that II ran be torn or Ike a check
from its stub. The voter goes into 4
screened room. where he sees a row Of
boxes supported on frame.
Each box bears the name and other
Insignia 81 party Or D candidate. a
conspicuous indicator points the voter
to slot in the box. Into this the bal
lot u thHrst without any marking ar
folding, and after few seconds ii
falls through 70 glass box. into which
all the other boxes discharge. An cleo
ton official, on one side, and the voter
on the other, can both see the baliof
and be sure that II II all right; but tho
official cannot tell By which route ii
entered the glasS-walled receptacle. and
therefore cannot tell how the man hax
voted.
Just within the slot, in each ballot
box there is an inked roller and some
type, which print a number on the back
81 the ballot. These numbers run IN
succession. Consequently, they count
each party's vote ~ 1t ia cast. Both
the type and the highest number an
the ballots, finally taken ont, record
this, and, therefore, must agree when
the polls close. Each ballot, after re-
naming an instant in the glass boz for
inspection, drops stlll further. and goes
into much bigger reservoir that ia
sealed.

city officials that because the Light & Water Go. are using their emer- gency pipe to draw from the river, largely as the source of supply, in stead of in cases of emergency only, as intended when tfis permit was granted to them. They are failing in the fulfllment of their contract, and principally for this reason a majority of the council have seen fit to deduct $100 per month from the Light & Water Co.'S. bill. This is the present basis of settlement be- tween tbe Light & Water Go. and the City. It is claimed by some of city officials that the Water and Light Go. are either entitled to their bill in full or none-others claiming that it is not to the eity's interest to try and cripple our Light x Water Co. because upon it's service depend our insurance, which means a great deal to our city, commercially, and the flushing of our sewer system means all to the health of our geo. pie. I want to say that the charges for water in Pine Bluff are reasona- ble if we are to take comparative service in the cities in our neigh  boring States as a basis both for fire purposes and individual consump- tion. Now it seems that our troubles can be removed by the Wa ter & Light Go putting in deep wells and stop supplying us with river water. I have reliable infor- nation that the Water & Light Go. can get two deep wells put down, toater guaranteed, for $12000, or at less cost if they will take chances as to water supply. This would even up our differences and the city would pay the Light < Water Co.'S. bill in full as cheerfully as any contract made by it. Let us hope that rath- CT than yield ten per cent of the cost and the good will of our people, that steps will be taken to put in deep wells and give us good water That this is practicable has been demon strated by the water system in suc- cessful operation at the Cotton Belt shops. This, as understand it, is a conservative statement of the con dition that now confronts us.
 Respectfully,
 FRED Fox,
 Alderman from the 1st Ward

States are making great successes with new mills for the manufacture of raw cottons into yarns and cloth. The seed mills have been usually good investments, why not the cot ton mills? No place in the South is by nature and product, better suit ed to an enterprise of this sort, than this immediate vicinity.
 Could the farmers once get it into their heads that cotton should be a surplus crop, or as nearly so as pos sible, the price would not be so i'm portant factor in Southern pros perity as many think. l am aware the argument is, that cotton is our only saleable crop and the only crop adapted to oul class of labor The fellow that has this right in his era nium is going to succeed, and yet this is no argument that every home necessity should not be grown and gathered on lands that are the rich est and most productive of aU faynl products of any known to the world. If self sustaining anywhere on the globe, farmers ought to be so here.
 However, the anomolous condi- tion of affairs right now is, in this section people are leaving their hill farms, rushing to the river bottoms, renting, leasing and bargaining for cotton lands at a high price. Every one wants more land for next year, and the indications are that the acre. age will be largely increased. High CT prices are being paid for rent, considering the present price of cot ton, than ever before known. Prep arations are on a larger scale, and if all parts of the cotton belt do as we are doing, another large crop will be grown. The thing looks like it will be overdone. The old prov erb, "There is luck in leisure, could be well considered by some of us.
