Fitch Will Oppose Further Improvement

Capt. Graham D. Fitch, United
States engineer in charge of the
government work on the rivers of
Arkansas, has recommended to
the higher authorities at Wash
ington that no further appropri-
ations be made for the construc-
ton of locks and dams in White
river and that this system of ini-
provements be abandoned.
The reason assigned for this
recommendation is that the White
River railroad has been construct
ed along the river, between
Ratesville and Buffalo City, points
between which the series of locks
and dams was intended to be
built, and that il is, therefore,
unnecessary that White River
should be made permanently nav
igable.
Such a report naturally brings
forth quite a wall from the Bates
vile papers, which section of
country is greatly benefited by
the expenditure of large govern
meat appropriations regardless of
! the permanent value of the work.
Millions OF dollars are squandered
on such internal improvements
and a general retrenchment pol
icy upon the part OF Congress
would prove popular with the
mass Of the people.-Newport In

Stale Convict Farm Gotten.

Financial Agent ]. c. Moore Of
the penitentiary has sold 100 bales
of convict raised cotton for SOL
46 per bale. The average weight
of the bales is 526 pounds, and
the price paid per pound was 12,1O
cents. The cotton was sold to
the Lesser Goldman Cotton Com
pany of Helena, through Jos.
Sullivan. The purchasers pay
insurance and freight, the state
selling the cotton as it stands
ready for shipment at the gin Oh
the state convict farm in Lincoln
county. Two weeks ago the state
scld $50 bales at 10 cents per
pound. Since then prices have
advanced, but the last sale was
unusually advantageous to the
state in that the cotton brought
more than the market price. FL
nancial Agent Moore ascribes
this to the fact that the states
cotton is desirable because of its
uniformity of staple and grade.
1t is estimated now that the
state will derive S125,000 from the
crop on the state convict farm
this year. This result exceeds
expectations, and is entirely sat-
isfactory to the members of the
penitentiary board who voted to
purchase the Cummins plantation
one year ago for S190,000. When
the purchase was made the sum
of $50, 1000 was paid down, leaving
a balance of 100000 due. Mr.
| Moore states that he is sure that
the state can pay $4,000 on the
farm from the proceeds of the
first years crop.

German and Roosevelt

A recent dispatch from Wash
ington contains this interesting
political gossip.
Viewed in the light of their ef-
feet upon the presidential cam
paign. the recent elections are re-
garded by the democrats here as
a great victory for the party. The
republicans were severely de-
feated in Maryland, where Presi-
dent Roosevelt did all in his pow
er to aid his party in a contest
where he and his unpopular at
titude on the negro question
formed the main issue. Much OF
the credit for the victory is due
Senator German, who calls at
tention to the Presidents unwar-
ranted interference in state af-
fairs, and to the danger of his
policy toward the negroes. The
Senator's chances Of receiving
the democratic nomination next
summer have been thus greatly
increased, and he is recognized
as a strong rival of President
Roosevelt for highest honorin the
land. If he is nominated the race
issue will become the main issue
in the campaign, and it is known
that many Northerners OF the
Presidents own party do net
countenance the Booker Wash
ington dinner and all that it i'm
plies. AS the political situation
now stands Roosevelt and Cor
man are the most likely candi-
dates. The democrats lost in
Ohio, where the republican sue
cess is regarded as a personal
victory for Senator Hanna, who
is now being doomed for the re-
publican nomination, apparently
in spite of himself. Hanna is
popular with the party in Ohio
and in the East and has many
powerful friends, who unless he
positively prohibits it, will con-
tinue to boom him for the nomi-
nation. The President is popular
in the West and his friends are
equally determined that he shall
be the choice of the national con-
ventlon. 1t is certain that Presi-
dent Roosevelt fears Hanna as
much as he does German. The
Roosevelt Hanna question may
yet completely destroy the re-
publican harmony.
