PINE BLUFF STATE FAIR An Interview From the Man Who
 Will Push if to Success

The management of the Pine Bluff State Fair have secured the services of the Hon. Greed =eafa#e as= setiei- Cor for fbe State Fair To be held at Pine Bluff from October 23 ta $. inclusive. When seea today NJ Caldwell sad to | Graphic repre-. sentative "Yes, am going out fB the iHferes of the State fair Ie is my opluiea chat there is no Letter way to advertise the resources of T county or State, and am sure there is no state possessing greater resources than does this. Arkansas carried off the first premium at the Worlds fair for the best long and short staple cotton. AS fire fruits are grown here as any place on earth. The timber resources are unsurpassed by any State in the Union. In quantity quality and di= versity of minerals 1t has no equal. and with it's bubblihg and boiling waters. its pure mountain air. it might truthfully be said to be the health resort of the world. To place Arkansas in the fro1t rank we only need to advertise her resources and, l repeat. there is no better way than through Che medium Of 8 State fair. I expect 10 visit the different eoun= ties in the State anu ask that every county make an exhibit of its priaei- pal resources, placed in charge of some citizen of the county who vii be able to point the advantages fo be derived from investment iH lis particular county. Ido not think any county can afford to lose this opportunity.
 Mr. Caldwell is hustler. and k well and favarabiY known through cut Arkansas. He represented thfs county in the last legislature and was the only representative from Jefferson who did not incur the dis pleasure of his constituents.

When he had learned all he wanted he asked. with gross inten- tional imDadence whether the infor- nation was really true. The governor turned purple. "Dy' question my word2a he said a0h. don't get gay. replied Jones airily. Common gov ernors cut no ice with my office The old man loaned at tha mouth.

November Star Shower.

Those who give particular attention
to the phenomena of the heavens are
anticipating the coming of the Noyem-
Der star shower with more than usual
interest, since the display this fall is
predicted to surpass in beauty that of
any previous year since 1888 Prof.
William Joyce Logan Of the New York
Academy of Science, who visited Seat
tie last week, is authority for the above
statement, says the P.-I.
Annually between November Ii and
20, there are occurrences of these
meteoric showers varying in degree
and attractiyeness; but i! the calcula-
tions long since made are fulfilled to
the letter, the heavens will this month
take on degree of wondrous beauty,
rivaling anything ever seen.
Some time during the week men
toned, between midnight and day
break, the myriads of meteors that
make up the Leonids or Temples
comet will cross the ornit of the earth
and, being ignited by contact with the
earth's atmosphere, will sweep through
hesky, leaving long, luminous trail,
and countless millions of them will be
consumed in their fight. Only the
fact that they will be entirely consum-
ed before reaching the planet saves us
from the dire consequences of collis-
ion.
Every civilized government the
world over will have official observa-
tions made, and all colleges having
proper instruments will have them
focused to obtain the best view of the
remarkable sight. 1t is calculated
that the display will reach its maxi
mum brilliancy about o'clock on the
morning.of November Is. There will
be other but less brilliant displays for
three or four successive nights and
will be we'll worth hours of watching.
On the Pacific coast, if the weather
is favorable, the illumination will be
particularly brilliant, and observations
can be made with the naked eye.

The Olympic Forest Reserve.

Theo. Rixon, whose return from the
Olympic geological survey we chronic
led last week, says the South Bend
Journal, informs US that there will be
little land OF any value included in the
Olympic forest reserve when the lines
are finally drawn. Considerable agri-
cultural land along the coast and some
land back of Port Angeles will be
taken ont of the reserve, but the lines
will be extended little closer to Port
Townsend and the Sound. His party
found no mineral deposits of any
value. As to the timber, it is small
and mostly hemlock. In fact the
state has selected lot OF land in Clal-
lam county which is of little or no ac-
count. The state land cruisers were
paid by the number OF acres selected
and greatly overrated the value OF this
land, IS they had everything to gam
and nothing to lose by favorable re-
ports.
On Mt. Olympus they travelled for
days over a glacier five miles square,
which was full OF deep crevasses, and
progress was difficult and dangerous.
About two-thirds of the reserve has
now been gone over. The remaining
portion lies between Grays llarbor aud
the Quillayute country and will be
gone over next spring.
They found many claims deserted
by settlers who had become discour-
aged by the establishment OF the re-
serve, as it left them SO isolated and
with only government land about
them, the settlers could hope for MOTH
ing in the way of revenue from taxa
tion for roads and schools. Several
queer characters were met with, how
ever, who.seemed to prefer their soli-
tary and lonely life in the woods to
civilization. Speaking of roads, he
says that while Clallam county is
heavily In debt, it has fine country
roads to show for it, and wherever
they run the country is well settled.
A county can afford tc run in debt if
it can secure such roads as he de-
scribes.

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For it is in the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that vweak y
heart, vweak lungs, vweak nerves and
other forms Of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assinilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ of the body well nourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ
The preservation of health which fol-
lows the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifes the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine sure means of strength.
