the conclusion that no matter what may

HOT WATER PLANT.
Profit Made Every Year From Ar.

Profit Made Every Year From Ar
kansas Hot Springs Reservation.
BY an act of congress, passed in April
1882, when Arkansas was still a territory,
the Hot Springs, with four sections of
land, were set aside for the future dis
posal of the United States. BY the act
of March, 1877, the appointment of COM
| missioners was authorized to lay out into
| town lots and streets certain tracts of
| land in Garland county, a part of the
| Hot Springs reservation. The levylng Of
| a special tax on water taken from the
| Hot Springs was authorized, the money
| arising from water rents to be used in
| improvement of the reservation. BY the
| act of June, $780, those divisions of the
| Hot Springs reservation known as North
| Mountain were dedicated to public use
as parks on permanent reservation, ag.
gregating 800 acres.
The hot water issues from the base and
! side of the Hot Springs mountain, and
| the actual quality is not known; that
| which Is under control and being used
| to supply the lighthouses amounts to
! about 100000 gallons daily, and the
amount collected and passed through the
| impounding reservoir about $50 600, MAX
| ing a total quality of hot water under
control of about $40. 600 gallons daily. This
| hot springs are not under government
| control, but are directly managed by the
United States government, which has an
| investment in them In excess of $500. OO0
| As shown by the last published treasury
report, the total receipts from lighthouses
and hot water rent at the hot springs for
the fiscal year ended July 1, 1898, was
$1S,11. The disbursements by the SUPER
| intendent for salaries, fuel, light. and
water (coldl were SIP, SSS This represented
a profit to the United States of $4,000.
A large number of patrons of the Hot
Springs are INDECENT persons, who, unable
to pay the ordinary hotel charges or to
avail themselves of the paid bathing op-
portunities, are supplied free. There is.
moreover, q free dispensary under direc,
| ton of United States army surgeon.
The total number of patrons is about
| 5000 a day, though the facilities of the
| hot springs allow, as at present arranged,
| for 5000. The resident population of Hot
! Springs is about 5000, and the average
number of persons in town patronizins
! the seventy hot-water springs is about
| 1000 additional
1t is supposed popularity that many of
| the Outside ventures of Uncle Sam are
improbable, but the fact is that he
makes a considerable profit on some of
| them, $4,000 a year on the patent office
s., 5O0,0 600 from the operations of the mint
| and a considerable sum from the sale
| and leases of public lands.

dairy and food commission. 1t is the pur-

nook and corner of the state. There are
large portions Of the state that have
never been worked. 1t Is understood that
the creameries in these sections will re-

1t is the purpose to labor manfully with
the limited means at their command to
protect, encourage and help the homes
and the important industries of the farm
