the time hat the American Smelling

be moved from this city to Mexico, it
is gratifying to be SUR about it and
to know that the smelter is to be

Perth Amboy wants all her industries

Many of the employees in the service
of the municipalities in England are
organized. 1t is now proposed to
amalgamate the various municipal
unions of the United Kingdom and
endeavor to take as the minimum the
municipality now paying the best
wages and working the shortest hours.
After receiving a report from corps
of experts concerning the price OF
commodities in districts where the
organized workingmen of the city
live, the EMPLOYERS Association IN
| Chicago, ILL.,, has discovered that the
cost of living has increased 10 per
cent during the last five years, and
has decided that wages should be in
creased in Ike ratio.
Newark firemen are not inclined to
favor the organization of a union, as
is contemplated by the blueshirts of
P%ittsburg. The Newark men claim
that there is no necessity whatever
Tor such an organization in that city
for many reasons. AS the mems
wages are fixed by statute, there could
be no benefit derived through a union.
Then, again, as the Fire Commission
ers have the sole power of appointing
new men, the union could not dictate
as to who should be appointed. 1t is
also commended that no better disci-
pline could be maintained than at
present, for every man in the depart
ment has the same rights and the man
in the ranks has just as much show to
have his side OF a grievance heard as
the head of the department.

Opposed the Contract,

Some fault has been found with Coun.
ty Judge Gross on account Of the cost
Of the Alma and Rudy bridges across
Frog Bayou, it being claimed that the
price-S9 000-for the two bridges, WAS
greater than it should have been with
the apparent competition among the
bridge builders The argument is made
that the county Is not able TO invest that
amount in bridges The Argus heartily
agrees with those advancing that theory
for the reason that 80 900 is considerably
more than they were estimated to cost
There Is no occasion for censuring
Judge Gross in the matter, for he was
opposed to letting the contract at those
figures and in justice to the Taxpayers
Of Crawford county voted against the
contract Messrs. Steinsiek and Neal
were the only commissioners attending
the opening Of bids and the awarding of
the contract As they constituted a
majority of the board Judge Gross WAS
unable to prevent the awarding of the
contract to O. o. Alexander, as pub
lished in yesterdays Argus. This in
formation was not given the Argus by
Mr. . Gross, but by one of the commits
sioners, who thought he WAS doing his
duty in letting the contract Argus,
Who estimated those bridges to cost
less than the amount bid? Has the
Argus in mind the amount Of the APP
preparation by quorum court, if 1t has 4,
this is no estimator The justices were
not in II position to estimate the cost.
Let us compare: The bridge built by
the citizens Of Alma on cash basis and
after considerable competitive bidding
will cost something over 81 100. This
bridge has but one span and no long
approaches, beside this did not include
the flooring of the bridge, In COM
parison with the amount bid for the
Alma bridge, (s5, 200) which will re-
quire two spans and lengthy approach
this does not seem excessive
What we do think 10 there is no press
ing necessity of bridge at Boiling
ford since the bridge at Rector has been
built and instead of spending the money
Cor new bridge there a part Of 1t
should be used to reimburse the citizens
Of Alma who built the Rector bridge.

Got Five Years In Five Minutes.

One day this week, says the South
McAlester Capital an old German blew
into Poteau aud after looking around a
while he unhitched horse from rack
and took him to livery stable, where
he tried to sell him The owner having
missed his horse, started to look for him
and fylnd the German trying to sell him
He claimed him and had the German ar.
rested. Conrt was In session at the time
and the transaction took place within
two hundred yards Of the court house
The German was arraigned, when he
gave his name as Henry Huffman. He
pleaded guilty and gave az reason for
the theft Il at he was hungry.
Judge Clayton sized him up as an old
offender and asked him how long he had
been out of the pen. After some hesita.
ton he said three months. When asked
for what and how long he had been sent
he said; Five years for robbing a
postoffice. - Judge Clayton then said
II will give you five years for this -
AS an example of reckless stealing
and swift justice this takes the cake, al
1t all occurred IN one day.

Natural Gas.

The natural gas question is agitating
the Fort Smith public since the PROPOSE
ton of piping it from Mansfield to that
city has been made. Several of the
wells previously bored over there give
off some gas, but not of sufficient guam
tity to be worth mentioning.
The same is the case in holes bored
in and near Van Buren,, There, like
here the mistake was made Of not bor-
ing deep enough to settle the question
for good and all whether there is enough
gas. bearing strata underlying this sec.
tion to make it worth while boring fol
commercial purposes, Gas has beer
found bubbling up in number OF
springs within a radius of ten miles Of
Van Buren,, Tap Spring on Gus Kram
ers place near Rudy is one of these. II
we could arouse enough enthusiasm
here to sink hole to sufficient depth
to definitely settle the matter it would
be good thug,
