Required for River improvement
in Arkan as,

Capt Sibert, of Little Rock, has sent
his annual report to the chief of en-
gineers at Washington on the rivers 10
Arkansas. Among the recommend
ations he makes are as following:
1.-The approved estimate for improv-
ing that portion of the river above Lit
tie Rock is 81, $40 mile below Little
Rock, $l4, 424 a mile. Regarding this
improvement, the conclusions reached
are that the regulation of such stream
rs the Arkansas must include the con-
troll Of both the high water and low
water flow of the stream; that all bank
protection must extend to the top of the
bank; that such regulation will cost
S}5 900 mile above Little Rock and
about $50 900 mile below that an at
tempt TO permanently improve 773 miles
of such a river by the expenditure of
$50, 600 or 1925, 900 a year is futile. The
4 snagging operations are beneficial to
navigation, and should be continued.
This would require an annual appro-
priation of $500 900. A large amount
will be required during the fiscal
year 1900, to replace plant that
has become unserviceable and has been
condemned and also to repair the flooC
damage Of this year. Balance of APP
preparation available at end present
fiscal year was IS, 5l5. As.

Annual Reunion Association.


The first reunion Of the Blue and Gray
of Crawford county convened here
Tuesday. At the opening there was
but slight attendance and it appeared
as if our people did not realize the i'm
port of the meeting. On the second
day, however. the attendance was
greatly increased by arrivals from the
surrounding country and visitors from
town and as the object it was intended
to accomplish dawned upon those at
tending they took hold of the matter
with vim and before evening a perma-
nent Reunion Association of the Blue
and Gray had been organized and
officers as follows elected:
Commander in chief, Geo 7. Mad
dox; senior vice commander, VIM.
Lewis secretary, D. NJ Jacks, and
ass t secretary, I. w. Davis.
D. NJ Jacks one of the prime movers
of the organization outlined the object
of the Union and was followed by
others who all heartily supported him
| in advocating the Union. 1t was de-
cided that Van Buren be made the point
at which the regular annual reunions be
! held and the members will see that next
years reunion is attended by every
survivor of the late war in Crawford
and surrounding counties.
The reunion closed Thursday with
addresses throughout the day and a
beautiful display of fireworks at night.
The last day of the reunion was very
well attended, though not as largely as
! the managers had hoped, hut now that
the organization is an accomplished
fact we may expect increased attend
ance each succeeding year.

Nants indemnify.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Premier Sa-
gasfa claims. as set fourth By Madrid
dispatches. that Spain will expect in
demniry for all government property
buildings. barracks. fortitications, etc.
in Cuba. Porto Rico and elsewhere,
excited much comment. showing the
difficult questions to be treated by the
military and peace commissions.
In official quarters here there Is 10
disposition 70 make counter claim 70
Sagasfa 5 proposition. for this will be
done in due time before the commits
siouers, and there Is no purpose 70 ont
line the government policy In ad-
vance. 1t the same time leading
officials express their individual opinion
on Premier Sagasta 5 claim as very
far fetched, as it is said to be an es-
tablished rule Of international law that
all public property Of a sovereign
government passes to the eOnqueror
when a change Of territory occurs.
The rule is equally as well established
that private property undergoes no
change.
The question is somewhat eOmpli.
Gated ia the present case by the fact
that Cuba and Porto Rico were not ac-
quired strictly by conquest, but rather
by mutual agreement In ease Of con
quest no question could arise as to the
passing OF all forts. barracks. reserya-
tions etc. along with conquered
territory.

BOIL Worms Working Havoc in South
ern Texas.

AusTEy, Tex, Aag. 21.-Reports
from all over the southern portion OF
the state the past few days Indicate that
.hs boil worm is becoming very bad
among the cotton. j great many
farmers are buying poison by the
bucket full and are trying to extermi-
nate this pest. The worm has put in
an appearance in this neighborhood
aud for miles south of here. and is
doing great damage. Reports from
other sections of the state are
equally as bad. Basing his esti-
mate on reports received up to the 1st
instant, Agricultural Commissioner
johnson has estimated the cotton crol
at , 900 900 bales but if this worm i.
not quickly killed it may cut it down I
fourth, at least.

Ambassador Hays Recall.

LONDON. Aug. 22.-The Manchester
Guardian says: We understand
United States Ambassador Hay s recall
to Washington to accept the post OF
secretary of state is due to his special
fitness to carry out policy in regard to
which negotiations have been pro
ceeding for some time between Wash
ingt5n and London, and upon which
a substantial agreement has been
reached, whereby the two countries
will act together in the far east wherever
American and British interests are
identical.
There Is no intention Of binding the
nations in an alliance. Each is to be
free to pursue its own destinies in its
own WAY. but the governments will act
together automatically where then
common interests are concerned.

Would BE a Good Law for Arkansas

From the Little Rock Democrat.
Massachusetts, has recently adopted
the Torrens land law, the provisions of
which are optional and enumerated as
follows:
1.-The landowner may go before
the court of registration, duly provided, g.,
and have the title to his property
searched and if proved to the satisfac-
! tion of the court accepted and regis
tered on payment of certain fees. 1t
then becomes, as it were, a state title,
binding the land and quieting the title
against all question for all time to
come, subject to proof of fraud in
securing registration, which may be
| brought within year. The owner is
thus guaranteed by the state in his
registered possession against disposses-
sion or loss from any defects in the old
| title which time may bring to light,
and whose possible existence today
makes no man sure of the absolute
validity of his holdings.
But it is not alone in the state in
surance of titles that the enactment Is
to be welcomed. Once registered un-
der this law, piece of real estate can
be marketed as readily and cheaply
| almost as a share OF stock. People can
then also borrow or lend money on
real estate mortgage without being put
to the expense of new and original
search of title to prove once more foT
the hundredth time the validity of the
security. A certificate of title based
on the record of the registration books
is the instrument for effecting the ex
change of land or supporting the mort
gage loan, and it requires little time
and only moderate fee to effect a
transfer in absolute security of title.
The enactment of such law for Ark
ansas would be popular with the
masses. 1t would save trouble and ex-
pense to those who have imperfect
titles, and unfortunately there are many
defects in the abstracts to thousands OF
homes in this state.
