to poinC out and designate such lands and lots as he desires and requires such options upon to a committee of citizens selected at the citizens meeting held in Green Forest on Saturday night, Nov. 10th 1902, said amount of land not to exceed a total of lS00 acres. It is further un- derstood that such options are to be secured without any ex- pense to the said E. s. w. Drought, and that upon accept ing this proposition and comply ing with terms of same by the citizens, the said E. s. w. Drought agrees to accept said option deeds and to surrender the contract and agreement heretofore entered into with the Green Forest Oil & Gas Co. and cancel the same and proceed to prospecting and developing such land as has been optioned, for the purposes stated, as soon as machinery can be procured and necessary arrangements made therefor.
 Discussing the matter Col. Fancher said the proposition was unquestionably fair one; that in accepting same the citizens of the town and community would certainly do wise thing; that everything was to be gained and nothing lost by so doing. He stated that if his land was desired to be included in the amount upon which options were desired he would be onl y too glad to grant same without cost to any ybody or any reservations whatever. He is exceedingly anxious to have the work of prospecting go on and he considered that the last possibility of having strong corporation, like the one repre- sented by Maj. Drought, interest ed in the mineral possibilities of the country, would be gone unless this proposition is accepted.
 Favora ble comments on this of fer of Maj. Drought were made by Capt. Harbert, c. B. Grim, Judge Butt, w. c. Russell and others, at the conclusion of which motion was adopted empowering the mayor to appoint committee of three men to take up this mat ter with Mai. Drought and the people who own the land upon which mineral options are desired to see what can be done.
 Acting upon the motion, Mayor O'Neal appointed Col. Fancher, I Capt. Harbert and Judge Butt to ] constitute such committee.
 Postmaster Grim then called at tention to the fact that the com mittee would necessarily be put to considerable expense, hiring rigs, etc., to get around so see the people, drawing up papers and so on. and that it was too much to exnect the committee men to bear these expenses and do the work for nothing and suggested that a collection be taken Whlch was done. the sum of S39 being made up for this purpose. 1 The committee now has the matter in hand and are endeayor- ing to meet the requirements which it is hoped can be done without undue delay. It would be nothing less than great mls- fortune to our town and commun- itv should the land owners turn this opportunity to continue thls prospecting work down.
 Unless favorable action IS ta- ken. the mining business here IS undoubtedly at an end.

MAI. DRoUGHT's PROPOSAL.
rAort to Continue Mineral Pros-
 pecting at Green Forest.

pecting at Green Forest. The call of Mayor O'Neal for a -meetingof the citizens on last Saturday night to hear and con- sider a proposition from Maj. E. IS. ". Drought to continue his work of prospecting for mineral at Green Forest met with a liberal response, quite a number of the citizens being present at the hour designated.
 The meeting was called to order by Mayor O'Neal, who invited at tention to what Maj. Drought would have to say.
 Maj Drought made a brief Statement of his object in having l the mayor call the meeting. He said that he and his associates de- sired to continue the campaign of prospecting for mineral which they had had under way here for seyeral months past; that their motto was to build up and not tear down; that they would much pre- fer to erect another derrick than premove the one they have had built here. He said that they ask pcthing for the present or future hat is not equitable for all con- erned, that they had not yet nor i'd not expect to ask our people br the donation of dollar to arry on this work. He had eached the point, however, where Omore money would be paid by
 people for mineral options;
 lat the citizens or the owners of 'tSSs sand who might give the de- C2l options must bear whatever &penseS are incurred thereby.
 efurther stated that his propo-
 ton had been reduced to writing 6Col. Fancher who would read k for the benefit of all present.
 Responding to Maj. Drought's quest Col. Fancher read the
 pposihon which is as follows:

Delegate Smiths manful attempt to obtain even small appropriation for the San Carlos reservoir has been de feated for the time being by the sen timent of the house against all appro- priations for reservoir construction, but he may yet accomplish something in that direction.

The outsiders" the steel manufacturers not connected with the trust, have insisted on advancing the price of steel bars, and have actu- ally done so. above the figures of the trust.
 Even our democratic friends will learn by and by that the trust bugaboo is of little more substance than the imperialism scare. The United States has grown to be such a big coun- try that no combination of men can maintain the prices of articles of daily consumption above the level that yields reasonable profits. The laws of trade will conrtol. in defiance of the shrewd- est and richest.

A dispatch from Berlin informs US that water can be endowed with quail ties similar to those of petroleum by means of an invention patented by pr. Karl Lietz, a chemist oi Hamburg. whose supporters assert that the process foreshadows an industrial revo- lution second only to the discovery of electricity. It is explained that Dr: Lietz has manufactured a fluid which gives to water the combustible qualities of oil and renders it capable of produc- ing intense heat and a pure white light twice as strong as petroleum flame. The ingredients of the fluid are nonex- plosive and can be produced either in solid or liquid form, according as in- tended to be used for heating or light ing Exhaustive tests just completed at Hamburg have induced an English syndicate to buy the invention fer the purpose of exploiting it on large scale. Tn recent years scientific discoveries of marvellous nature have prepared the world for almost anything. but the most credulous will ball9 at this water burning business.

President Roosevelt. in a special mes sage to congress, has recommended that Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, the hero
 of the Merrimac episode, be placed on
 the retired list of the navy. and Sen
 ator Gallinger of New Hampshire has
 introduced a bill carrying the presi- dents recommends tior into effect. Cap
 tain Hobson seeks to be retired on ac-
 count of a weakness of the eyes. an in
 firmity contracted at Hong Kong two
 years ago. He applied to the secretary
 of the navy some time ago for retire
 ment under the regulations, but the aD-
 plication was refused on the ground
 that the infrlnity was not sufficiently serious to justify placing the young captain on the retired list under the rules. The secretary. however. recommended to the president that con gress pass a special act for for Hob an ambition to enter politics. and thinks there is a chance for him to ob- tain substantial favors at the hands of the democracy cf Alabama The young man is wise, possibly, in proposing to rest his fame as q naval officer on the single incident of the Merrimac. Within a few months after that heroic act he became q general laughing stock on account of his weakness for kissing ad- miring young ladies wherever he went. and such speeches as he has indulged in from time to time have tended to cheapen him in the public estimation.

When women re fuse to remain dependent, and strive to be independent through their own eff forts. ther- is no reason why they should not be assisted. They are.

! Tobacco is threatened from a new quarter. A Paris cablegram informs
 the world that custom, which is said to owe it's inception to the Jockey club. is now rapidly gaining headway in Parisian society. particularly in the cir cles of the Fauborg St. Germain. This is the consumption of cigarettes made from coffee leaves dried and presented in forms similar to those of the tobacco of commerce. Coffee leaf smoking is said to be not only perfectly harmless, even if indulged in to excess, but to possess the property, deemed by the inventors an unquestionable advantage, of imparting to those who practice it an intense and lasting dislike for the flavor of tobacco. The hygienic cigar cite is declared by smokers to draw satisfactory, and it can ba smoked with comfort, if not with intense delight, to the end. The scent and flavor are sui Eeneris. though vaguely reminding enc of some Belgian tobaccos. The owner of the chemists shop where the coffee leaf cigarettes are to be had says that there is quite run upon them and that he has some difficulty in keeping abreast with the demand.

Tomorrow at 1 o'clock the senate will vote on the Philippine revenue bill. Following that. the Hansbrough-New- lands irrigation bill will have the right Of way until disposed of. It is supposed that the senate will enact some meas ure along the lines of the bill already drafted, but it is by no means certain that this will be done, in view of the serious division in the ranks of the irri- saticn advocates. The extreme wing of the national irrigationists is de nouncing the Hansbrough-NewIa bill so savageIy that it is altogether probable the senators not directly in terested will decide to vote against any legisla ton on the subject. And. of course. there is no prospect whatever for favora ble action in the house. In deed. the leaders of the national irriga- ton movement are now advising their followers to abandon the subject for the present session and try for better results at the next session, or the sue cceding congress. This is the advice of the Los Angeles Times. the ablest and most energetic of all the national irrigation forces.

Experience has demonstrated that trusts are permanently successful only
 when they are satisfied THE ONLY with moderate profits POLICY FOR and when they seek 70 TRUSTS. make their profits
 through cheaper means of production rather than by trying to keep prices at a high level. The Stand ard oil company recognized this law of trade years ago, and notwithstand- ing the brilliant success of that cor poration. smaller men have attempt ed to follow the opposite policy-with the result that the commercial centers are strewn. with the bones of "busted'' trusts. The policy of the Rockefellers always has been to maintain the price of oil at low figure. The sugar trust has followed the same policy to a large degree, and since the forma ton of that trust consumers have purchased sugar al a lower price than formerly. But these two combinations have been ex- captions to a general rule. The man. agers of other trusts were more greedy than wise and most of them have met with misfortune

The officers of that corpora tion have steadfastly refused to ad- vance prices, regardless of the enormous demand for steel products, and President Schwab has announced that the policy of moderation will be continucd.

Piqued. presumably. by the disclos- ures from Berlin that Lord Pauncefote.
 in April. 1898, proposed A SILLY to his fellow representa- FAKE tives of the European
 powers that a concerted note be sent to President Mckinley pro testing in an offensive manner against the attitude of the United States against Spain-a disclosure which has placed the British ambassador ''in q hole''-the Washington correspondent of the London Times cabled to his paper few days ago an absurd state ment refecting on the late president. The Times correspondent is regarded as Lord Pauncefote's mouthpiece. This dispatch. which was immediately cabIad back to this country from Lon don. stated that President Mckinley withheld from congress . communica- tion from the Spanish government ''vir- tually conceding'' the American de- mands. The implication against MT. Mckinley related to the alleged sup pression of note from the Spanish government cf April 10. 1S9S notifying the United States that General Blanco. the captain general of Cuba. had been authorized by the queen regent to de- clare an armistice with the insurgents flor such time as he shall deem pru- dential"
 How the English journalist could hope to benefit Lord Pauncefote by dis tcrtinS history it is impossible to un-
  suppose the world has forgotten the facts and that the public might be di- verted from contemplation of the Brit ish ambassadors embarrassing position by sensational revelations" to the effect that President Mckinley was guilty Cf bad faith toward congress and the American people. The state papers of the late president are so accessible everywhere. and, besides, the events connected with the Spanish war are st,I so fresh in popular memory. tha it is a matter Of common knowledge that the president instantly communi- cated the tenor of the Spanish note to congress, and that in his special mes sage on April II he said: Yesterday. and since the preparation of the foregoing message. official infor- nation was received by me that the latest decree of the Queen Regent of Spain directs General Blanco. in order to prepare and facilitate peace, to pro- claim a suspension of hostilities, the duration and details of which have not yet been communicated to me. This fact with every other pertinent consid dera tion. will, I am sure. have your just and careful attention in the solemn deliberations upon which you are about to enter. If this measure attains a successful result, then our aspirations as a Christian. peace loving ! people will be realized If it fails. it ! will be only another Justification for our contemplated action.'
 With Mckinley. as with Lincoln, it was always considered a first duty to take the people into his confidence on ali public matters so far as national in terests would permit. Moreover, the president was earnestly seeking some means of avoiding war. and in the light of these facts the London Times fake is peculiarly silly. Lord Pauncefote. by the way. pre- I serves an eloquent silence in answer to the inside history that has been given out by the German government
