FUNNY
Geography As Portrayed By
 the White Horse Star.

An inspection of the map will show, says the White Horse Star, that the Fra zIer creek mines of the district sholld be tributary to White Horse, Instead of Haines Mission and Skagway. From Haines Mission to the new discovery Is somewhere h the nelghborhood of Iso miles, while on an air line from White Horse west they can be reached In about Go miles and a trail can be built from here through country, with no great difficult ties to surmount, not to exceed In length $ miles, allowing for dsvlatlons which would necessarily have to be made from an air line.
 At present the recording has to be done at tn. boundary line on the Dalton trail, but K. C. Miller, the mining recorder at White Horse says that It should be done at the nearest and most accessible point, and that If the citizens of White Horse would build trail that would make this the nearest point to the mines the record Ing office would most undoubtedly be transferred to White Hore.

HIS SISTERS WRONGS
Avenged bv William Collins at Dumas
Sunday Afternoon.

Sunday afternoon, at Dumas,
Desha county. Leon Lyman was shot
and instantly killed by Will Collins.
The cause Of the killing was due
to an intimacy between Lyman and
Collins young sister, Miss Ollie Col
Inns. The intimacy had reached
period that concealment of it could
not much longer be made, and Col
Inns went to young Lyman and told
him that he must protect his sis>er
by marrying her. which he declined
to do. and Collins avenged his sis
ter's disgrace by killing Lyman.
Lyman was a young man of splen-
did family, and was a son Of Capt.
Lyman. He was in the employ of
Jack Bernhard. of the Dumas News.
He was at his home, sitting on a
pile of wood in the yard. when ap
preached by Collins. and was shot in
a sitting posture. Lyman had .evi-

tol was found on his person after he
was killed. Three shots were fired
all taking effect, one in the head. one
in the hand and another in the wrist.

that the Benton end of it will not he

CAUSES Of TR1UBLE
Army $ Two Heads Always
in Clash in Peace
ROOT SENDS BILL TO CONGRESS
WHICH PROPOSES TO OVER.
COME THE TROUBLE.
Provides Absorption Of Inspector
Generals Department, With
Miles at the Head.
PROPOSES GENERAL STAFF

| Washington. Feb. 17.-"The effort
| to conduct the business of the army
with two heads-the secretary of war
and the commanding general of the
army-has always proved serious
EN- barrassment."
This is one of the arguments en-
plOyed by Secretary Root in advoca-
cy Of a bill for the reorganization OF
the staff system of the army, which
he transmitted to congress. The sec
retary does not refer particularly to
Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles
in making this statement.
Every commanding general" he
says. has encountered similar Oh
stacles, for they are inseparable from,
SO unbusinesslike an arrangement as
those which have operated during
and since the war with Spain. From
the time of General Macomb, each of
the senior officers has been assigned
to duty as commanding general, but
difficulties of an administrative char
acter have been encountered by all.
SECRETARY Root refers to the fact
that the troubles between the secre
tary of war and General Scott were
SO acute that reports were finally
transmitted by the president to con-
gress, and General Sherman became
so discontented in the Office that he
requested that his headquarters be re-
removed to st. Louis General Sher-
idan had considerable difficulty with
Secretary of War Lincoln.
There has never been a command
ing general the secretary asserts.
"who has been able to occupy the
narrow limits prescribed for the du
ties Of that office in the war depart
ment without encountering much Sc
rious difficulty. A vast deal of this
arises from the fact that the finances
of the army, which are distributed
by the various staff departments, are
wholly within the control of the sec
retary of the war, and are exempt
from the control of the general Of the
army, whose duties are confined to
those of administration and discip-
line"
