ARKANSAS SUNK LANDS.
Prairies Transformed Into Lakes in
"a Single Night.

when people living in what is now the
eastern part of Craighead county. Ark.
went to bed one night in the latter part
of December. 1Si1.' said former resident
OF that region, "they closed their eyes on
one of the most beautiful and fertile
stretches OF land that ever man saw. The
region was series of rolling prairies, in-
terspersed with heavy forests. The st.
Francis River and It's twin sister. the Lit
tie River, wound through the prairies and
around the edges of the woods, which cast
their shadows on the waters from high
and solid banks. When those residents
looked out upon the prospect presented
the next morning they must have been
surprised. In place of the rivers and the
rolling prairies vast lakes spread away
over the area In places above the sur
face of the largest of these sheets of water
so suddenly brought into existence the
tops of trees could be seen. but in others
the woods had been entirely submerged
The land for 100 miles up and down the
river, and for width of probably sixty
miles, had sunk below the surface, and
water had filled the great cavities thus
formed. The area thus wiped off the face
of the earth came to be called the Sunk
Lands, and that is its name today
To-day the entire area OF the sunk
Lands is chain OF great cypress and guin
swamps. with here and there an extent
of old prairie and remnant OF ancient
forest diversifying the landscape. The
cypress grows luxuriantly in the lakes.
while the gum trees and a species OF
sycamore occupy the swamps. The trees
are festooned with a massive growth OF
parasitic vines and MOSES. The valley
is probably the most picturesque stretch
of aquatic scenery in the entire South.

THE WORLDS CYCLING MEETING

pointment in that city and in Canadian
cycling circles generally at the prospects of
no British competitors going to the worlds
cycling meeting in Montreal next month.
AS matter of fact several fine riders have

brilliant young cyclist who won the hun
dred kilometres amateur championship at
the international meeting in Vienna last
year. Cherry's record as an amateur will
be hard 10 beat. He holds three records.
namely. mile paced mile unpaced, and
hundred kilometres paced. His modest
parlor at home contains three 50-guinea
cups, one 60 guinea cup, thirteen challenge
cups, twenty-six gold medals, dozen
other medals, and about one hundred and

known the world over as Il and Stevie,
did not relish the punishment meted out
to Mcfarland for the assistance he re-
cevied from Stevens in the famous Jimmy
handicap at Ambrose Park July !. Nc
Farland, as the business member of the
firm, is vociferous in his declarations re-
garding the ability of either himself or
Stevens to defeat any of the many men
who have protested them for team work.
Nettled by his recent loss of the 5000 first
which he won in the Jimmy handicap. Nc
Farland issues a challenge to the sprinters
of this country which bristles with busi-
ness from beginning to end. Stevens, he
says will meet any man known on the
racing track today for $500 side, at the
mile best two in three, paced or unpaced.
This side bet will be demanded from the
rider accepting the def" and the race
may be run either in private or public, it
matters not which.
Stevens and Mcfarland are the largest
winners of the season, in the order named,
for strange as 1t may seem TO the unin-
itiated, Stevens now leads his partner in
the points won, but leads him by the mar
row margin OF one point only. That the
offer to bet is not a cinch is shown by late
defeats which these riders have received.
Stevens and Mcfarland, while leading in
the mile open race at Ambrose PARK July l,
were beaten by Owen Kimble in mag
rificent sprint. Mcfarland was defeated
by Tom Cooper at Buffalo July in straight
heats, paced and unpaced. Kimble. the
victor at Ambrose Park, whipped Freeman
| and Kiser in two straight heats at Phila-
| deIpha July 4. Stevens lately met both
| Kimble and Cooper in match races in pri-
vate for S25 side bet each and whipped
| both. Stevens won two of three heats in
each instance. the distance being a third
of a mile, with both men. 1t is therefore
not improbable that the bluff of McFar-
land will be called and the races arranged
with the side bet, the largest ever de-
| manded.

HERoIsM OF AN ENGINEER,
Jeopardizes His Own Life to Save
Hundreds Of Others.

COLUMBUS VO), Jan. 2-It is not
often that it falls to the part of a
stationary engineer to play the part Of
a hero. but that is what happened to
Lee Chalfant, substitute engineer at
Wolff Bros. & Co.'S factory to-day.
Though badly scalded, he leaped
through the binding clouds of steam
raked the fires from the boilers and
prevented an explosion that jeopardiz-
ed the lives of 500 employees in the
building.
The regular engineer of the plant was
Ill, and Chalfant was working as a
substitute. This morning he noticed
that there was too much water in the
boiler, and SO opened a valve to let
some of it out. Then he went around
in front to watch the gauge while the
water ran into the we'll. He soon saw
that the water was going out too fast
and that a jet of steam was escaping
with great force. In trying to shut it
off he was badly scalded, but in spite
of the pain he thought only of the
horrible consequences of an explosion.
There was but one thing to do, and
that was done quickly. Selling a shovel
he sprang to the furnace doors and
began raking out the fires. The boiler
cooled down, and the danger point was
passed. Then Chalfant gave the
alarm. He was taken to his home,
where he lies in a Drecarious condi-

STRIKE IMMINENT.
Trouble Anticipated in the Blum
inous Coal Region.

PITTSBURG, Jan. "A general
strike in the bituminous coal region is
looked for on April LIST at the close
of the term of the interstate agreement
between the miners and operators.
This strike can only be averted by the
miners and operators of the COMPETE
tive field reaching an amicable agree
ment at the convention to be held in
this city next week
A reported interview with Operator
Thomas E. E. Young, manager of the
Hanna coal interests, follows: "It is
the intention of the operators to reduce
the mining scale of wages The opera
tors cannot afford to maintain the pres
ent rate. The miners want a higher
rate, and the operators claim a reduc-
ton must be made You can readily
see the miners and operators are far
apart. There seems to be little chance
of getting together. The operators do
not see how they can maintain the
present scale. Coal is now being sold
below cost. The miners in this district,
comprising the four States mentioned,
are we'll paid if they could work full
time. They have done pretty we'll dur
ing the past year. In fact, they have
made more money than the operators.
THE operators in this district pay
so much more for mining than the
operators in the West Virginia district
that they are not able to compete. We
lose business right along for the reason
mat we cannot meet the competition.
One result Of the strike will be the adj
vance in the price of coal / do not
anticipate coal famine, for the reason
that coal can be obtained from twenty
different coal fields. The inevitable re-
suit of the strika will be that the on
orators will win The operators do not
look for trouble before April 1st."
