Making Ice in Cot.er. Arkansas.

Cotter Courier.
Wednesday this week marked the
beginning Of Cotter manufactured Ice.
On that day the new plant OF johnson
& Frltsch drew of the first freeze Of
10000 pounds Of crystal ice, made from
filtered water taken from the big spring
near which the plant is located. The
ice is hard, clear, free from bubbles
and pure.
The furnaces were fired up Sunday,
the machinery all tried, the freezing
vats and tanks filed, the amonia un-
der heavy pressure driven into the
pipes, the ice vats filed with pure wa
ter, the covers put on, and the first ice
ever frozen in Cotter artifcially began
to form. So perfectly had every one of
the hundreds of connections been made,
so true were all the adjustments that
the manufacturers were not the least
uneasy rs to the result, and 1t seems
that their confidence was well founded,
for Wednesday morning from each
freezer was taken 300 pounds of clear,
solid ice. The cold storage room was
at once filled with the crystal blocks
ready for delivery.
1t requires 60 hours from the time
the water is turned into the tanks be-
fore the cakesere ready to draw. About
a third OF the tanks are filed each day,
thus having ice in all stages allowing
as much as 25 tons to be drawn daily
at the present. time. From the moment
of starting the machinery it has never
stopped, nor will it, but goes night and
day, and every hour. Double boilers
are installed, and all parts of the ma.
chinery likely to break are made in
duplicate and extra parts are kept
in case Of need, so that in
the event of an accident the stop would
be OF but few minutes.

Pioneer Days In Taney.

Writing from Forsyth under the
above heading and the date OF May
ith, "The Circuit Rider" of the Kan
sas City Star, Mr.. Rollins Bingham,
says:
"Setting aside some shadowy and
unsubstantial traditions and stories To
the effect that gold.hunting Spaniards
searching for the seven cities ofCibola
came into what is now Taney county,
Missouri, so long ago that the time
since would run into centuries, the
probability is that the first white men
in the country were English speaking
pioneers from the mountains Of North
Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Ger
tain IL is that the county was organ
lied In 1897. According to rcminis-
cent and biographical history Of the
Ozarks the first settlers came in 1927,
and were two Youchum5, three Denton
brothers and one McA doc, who opened
up farms on White river. But find,
Notwithstanding the common and mis-.
taken opinion that the dwelIers in the
Ozarks are an ignorant and illiterate
people, quite literature, the product
OF native research, containing much in
teresting and curious informa tion, that
gives the date OF the first settlement as
somewhat cGrlier."
From this point the writer takes up
the book, "Fireside Stories OF Elrly
Days in the OLarks," b. s. {. Turnbo,
a copy Of which was handed him by the
Republican, and fills "a couple columns
with condensation therefrom, but as
the Republican had already planned TO
reproduce such of these stories as are
of interest TO the people Of Tauey coun.
ty especially, that portion OF the letter
TO the Star will be passed, and we will
give the concluding paragraph Of the
as follows:

fancy is the fourth county from the west
line OF the state, in the extreme southern
tier, and so bordering on Arkansas and en-
joying to its fullness the wonderful climate
of the Sunny Side" OF the Ozarks, where the
temperature rarely touches zero In winter and the
nights in summer are always cool enough to make
sleep delight.
The county contains 500 square miles, 4i2O0l
acres, Of which about 81 200 acres are under i'm
provement. The soil varies from the rich alluvial
bottoms to the strong limestone soils OF the ridg-
es, producing successfully wheat, on which the
county WAS awarded the silver medal ut the Lou

including the gnmey black bass and jack salmon,
while the wooded expanses abound In small game
OF various kinds. including fox raccoon, oposson.

recreation with rod and gun.
The population Of the county by the last census
was i0,l27 only two OF whom were coiored and
all but 8y American born. The county tax Is but
w cents on the 500, and there Is practically no
county debt. Wood for fuel Is plentiful and cheap,

at $40 to so an acre, while unimproved lands can
be had at l.26 to %. There are still about 5000
acres of government lands, subject to homestead
or cash entry. The county is finely watered, the
White river alone winding In and out for about o.
hundred miles within its borders.
There Is considerable timber OF commercial val.

Omen tho Locks.

Sportsmen and all lovers OF fishing
complain of the comparative scarcity
OF game fish in White river and its
tributaries this season, and for the past
year as well. II is said by those who
have fished these streams for several
years that until last season there we're
four fish in the streams to one at this
time. This scarcity is attributed to
the negligence Of the care.takers OF the
locks and dams near Batesville. These
locks are provided with a waterway SO
arranged that fish can go up or down
at will, and these waterways are sup
posed to remain open when the Jocks
are not in use, but the care-taker either
through ignorance, neglect or purposely,
keeps them closed the entire time, thus
preventing fish from coming up stream.
This is unfair, unjust and illegal and
deprives the people along thousand
miles OF White river and its tributaries
OF pleasure, privilege and benefit
heretofore enjoyed. fproperly tended
the locks would not in the least inter-
fere with the passage of fish. There is
remedy and 1t viii be applied. Cot

Has Changed His Mind

James Barton Adams, who with his
wife stopped over in Houston few days
last week, said that coming down from
Denver he got in conversation with a
Texas cattleman who sang the praises OF
grand old Texas world without end.
"You are not of the same opinion as
regards Texas that Sheridan was" OBJ
served Adams.
"What opinion was that?" queried the
cattleman.
"Why, he said that if he owned farm
in Texas and one in hell he'd sell the one
in Texas, as he would rather livein hell. ."
mo, I amt of that opinion" observed
the cattleman, thoughtfully, ''and I'll bet
Sheridan has changed his mind by this
time."-Houston Post.

indignation, the half-dozen occupants of
the car declared they were entitled to ride
free.
"Look at your own board" said the
spokesman. 1T says, Every carriage, cart
or wagon drawn by one beast, 2 cents;
every additional beast, cents. We're
not drawn by any beast at all"
"No; but here's where ye come in, sab" )"
replied the darky, pointing to another
clause, as follows, Every half.dozen hogs,
4 cents An three times four is twelve"
he added.
The twelve cents was paid.

The daily papers of the State seem to
be prosperous. The Charleston News and
Courier and the Columbia State are at
present installing fine new presses, and
the Charleston Evening Post has an
nounced that new and up-to.date ma
chine is now being erected for that news
paper. The Post expects to install its
new press about the first of September.
Evidently this wave of prosperity which
has struck the dailies, missed the weeklies.
~
We see no benefit to be derived by
s4locating" the grand lodge Knights Of
Pythias, but on the contrary there are
several reasons against the proposition,
the greatest of which is that holding an
nual sessions at various towns in the
State brings the membership of the order
into close contact with many people and
results in great good to Pythianism. To
our mind this accounts very largely for
the rapid growth of the order in this
State. However, if a grand castle hall is
to be erected, we would prefer to see it at
Sumter. That town is near enough the
center of the State, and in no city is more
interest taken in Pythian affairs. Sumter
is the place for the castle hall by all
means,

Photography has recently been en-
ployed in Switzerland to obtain exact
pictures Of the glaciers as they now
are, says the London Telegraph. In fu-
ture times the terminal moraines can
be compared with those Of the present
day. Whatever may be the cause, the
fact seems to be that glaciers all over
the world are shrinking. They were
once certainly far larger in Swttzer-
land than they are now. The ice caps
round the poles are also growing less
As to the north pole, this was pretty
well known some time ago, and now
the antarctic explorers report that the
ice fields round the southern pole are
also far less than they were when Ross
made his antarctic voyage sixty years
ago. When the reasons for this de-
crease Of glaciation are known a clew
may be found for the occurrence Of
the glacial epoch, eighty or hundred
thousand years ago.
