ENGINEERS AND ENGINEERS.

To the Editor OF The TribCne.
Sir. The editorial paragraph in to-day's issue
commenting the disasters OF several years upon
works constructed by engineers might have gone
further with this query. Are all of the so-called
engineers employed upon public works engineers
in fact? I am certain that there are many en-
ployed engineers especially on the public works
in this State and by the Aqueduct Board. the Park
Board etc. who do not even possess the primary
essentials for their professions / know of
the payrolls as civil engineers who never took a
high school course. TO say nothing of not having
received technical education; men who never
have made a drawing OF any kind. could they
extract the cube root of given figure, 70 say
nothing of their ignorance OF algebra or their

posted. As goods are actually required, they
can be purchased and charged to the account.
Every dollar that is not spent is always draw

ACCEPTED CHALLENGE.

The Yellville base ball team will play Newport on grounds to be fixed in Chast"in's addition or below the Choctaw tracks on Thursday, August 27th.
 The challenge has been accepted by R. T. Simmons, who has set about to organize a team for that event and no one doubts Mir. Simmons ability to deliver the gooos.
 Robt. Randy and o. s. Mulheron will probably be Newport's battery, though Marvin Matheny of Bates vile, another good twirler, may divide time with Randy. Other local talent who will probably be called upon are Ralph Richardson, Henry owen, Clar- ence Holmes and Felix Simmons, Glover and Dameron of Tupelo.

OFFICIALS ON TRIP.

General Superintendent w. f. Tyler, Division Superintendent J. c. Harti- gan and Trainmaster w. s. Hobbs left here Saturday morning about 7 o'clock on special train behind en- zine 435, one of the fastest on the road, for an inspection trip over the White River branch.
 It is expected that new schedule will be put into effect soon on the White River road and the passenger run through from here to Cotter, re- quiring two crews, alternating every other day. This would throw the ar- rival of the passenger here late in the evening, though under the new order, this train would no longer handle the local freight above Batesville as at present.
 Just when the change will be made has not been announced, but this trip of the officials will probably determine the time.

QUAIL FARM FOR ARKANSAS,

Guy Gordon of Columbia, Mo-, is about to start quail farm in Arkan- sas, working on the theory that the birds can be raised on the same prin- ciple as poultry. His experiments in Missouri have demonstrated that quails can be raised as easily and with as little expense as chickens, but the question of profit remains to be deter mined. It is questionable whether Gordon can market the birds in Ark ansas under the present game laws, but he will no doubt be guided by legal advice on this point.
 Gordon's method of quail farming is said to be interesting. The birds are matched in an incubator at a tempera- ture of 104 degrees, and while in the care of the mother get along well enough in the daytime without artifi- cial heat. At night, however, it is necessary to keepla lamp burning in the brood house to insure a tempera- ture of at least 90 degrees. Like all incubator products the birds are sur prisingly tame, and even the full grown quails can be picked up and fed out of the hand.
 The quail breeder has one peculiar obstacle to contend with in the matter of reproduction. A pair of quails once mated are united for life. Neither the male nor the female will desert it's mate for another, and the loss of one out of pair is equivalent to the loss of both. Even after the death of one the other is not fit for reproductive purposes. If the hen quail is paired with any other bird than her original mate her eggs are barren and never fertile. The aver age quail hen lays about sixteen eggs year. The setting season lasts three months, usually from April 1 to the last week in June.

OBJECTIONS URGED
 TO PUBLIC HANGINGS

Doubtless in every city of the land, provision is made for the killing of surplus dogs, else our towns would be- come dog ridden just as the ruined sections of Rome are now infested with dogs ravenous as wolves and oftentimes as dangerous.
 But protest is being offered against the employment of cruel methods of ending the lives of these dumb animals.
 For the past two days, the marshal has been hanging these dogs beneath the stairway of the city hall in plain public view from Walnut Street. This death by strangulation is neither a speedy nor humane method of kill ing the dogs and it is this against which the public doth pro- test. This duty of ridding the town of these ownerless dogs is no doubt a distasteful and disagreeable one to any officer, but humane man. ner of death is due even the outcast dog.
 | Ordinance No. 12, dealing with this issue, defines the duty of the marshal to be to cause all dogs found running at large from June 1 to October 31 upon the streets and alleys of New port Cor which license has not been paid) to be impounded. Within two days thereafter notices must be posted ill three different places within the city limits, bearing description of dog impounded, the date of the impound ing and notice that the said dog will be killed at the expiration of five days from date of notice. The ordinance further provides for the reclaiming of dogs and the fees to be charged But all this seems unessential and the protest which is being made arises solely on the manner in which these dogs have been put to death.
