Mr. Woodruff soon had q log hut ready and began the issue oi the pa per, November 20, 1S19. the first pa per published in the territory and the fifth paper 10 be established west of the Mississippi river And from that distant publication il still continues. II was published al the Post until the territorial capital vas moved to Lit tie Rock, and the publication was continued there unto the present time.
 And once agaiu the Post of Arkan- sas was the center of stirring events when il became foremost in the pfc ture of the flashing of the eans in the civil war. The place was sarrisoned by about 5000 Confederates under General T. J. Churchill. \ large fed eral force. with q feet of sunboate, commanded by Admiral Porter, in vested the place in January, 1869. and after desperate battle of three days duration captured the place. taking many prisoners.
 Such is the story. in brief, of the Arkansas Post. It comes to Us as having subsisted in four centuries. and out of it's long and romantic past from it's sometime moderate prosper ity, there is now written upon it's wall "Ishabod;' it's glory has departed.

 In l122 the Post became the center of al =important expedition that start cd out from il. \ report had become current among John Laws colouists and the Company of the West as his enterprise was called that there was large emerald rock somewhere oa the Arkansas river, and all expedition under the Sieur Bernard de la Harpe was fitted out to explore the river, as sembIingat the Pos. They ascende d the stream as high up as where Fort Gib- son is, but turned back from there. having accomplished nothing. On going up the r.Yer they camped at Biz Rock to which they gave the name of La Rochufs Franchise This Was the first Known exploration of the river. The historian of this expedi- ton, NJ Dumont, concludes his ac- count of it by saving If in this eXpe- dition We had not the good fortune to discover the emerald rock which gave il rise. We had the satisfaction of trayersing very beautiful coun- try. fertile plains, vast prairies cov cred with buffalo, stags, does. deer. turtles, etc. We saw rocks of ,asj CT. marble, slate and sale, vefN h ior making plaster. have no doubt there are gold mines in the country. as We discovered d little stream which roll. ed gold dust in it's waters.'
 Events were now shaping them selves by which the country passed out of the possession of France. in the conclusion of the seven years war of 1856 of Europe. when, in the treaty of Paris. in l7633, the country was ced- ed to Spain. The Post now began ac- lively to be settled. The county rec ords run back to the year l76o. Don Joseph Nalliere was the commandant of the Post as early as l1S6 to l790 VillemOn. who was commandant until 1903. when the country passed into the possession of America There is d relative of Don Carlos de Villemont residing in this city. Robert Black mon. who lives south of the park. is direct descendant and has at his house portraits of Don Carlos. showing him in his youth and as commandant
 In 1919 the Post of Arkansas be- came the theater of it's most import ant incidents In that year the ter ritory of Arkansas Was formed and the Post was made the territorial capi- tal. It remained such until 1891 when the capital was moved to Little Rock. and since that time it's course has been decadenl rather than progress sive.
 It is interesting to speculate upon what might have been it's career if il had remained the capital of the terri tory and eventually become the capl- tai of the state.

 It was established in the year 16S6 bv Frenchmen under Henri de Tonti when he was going on his unsuccess- ful search for La Sale at the mouth of the Mississippi. It was in the year 1882 that the French explorer Robert Calayier Sie,r de Ia Sale explored claimed all the country for France in the name of his sovereign, Louis KY, } calling it Louisiana after him. On ascending the river. he granted to his faithful lieutenant, Henri de Tonti, large concession of land, where the Post was afterward established. Leav- ing de Tonti in the country of the H. linos, La Sale returned to France to gather colonists to people the new ly discovered regions. Having com pleted his arrangements, La Sale set sail from France to reach the mouth of the Mississippi, but, sailing too far to the west. missed the place and landed on the coast of Texas.

10 AUSTRALIA.

D. A. Budge, who was sent out by the North American Young Mems Christian association to Australia to introduce successful American meth ods into the associations, has just returned form a second strenuous campaign in that country
 In IT. days he visited fourteen of the great cities of Australia and New Zealand. In five of these cities has been secured $37o,0o0 for buildings and the clearing of debts through campaigns which he set up. In sev eral Australian cities the association had lost control of it's building It had no practical idea of conducting gymnasiums and had not attempted to interest boys under IS, such as fora one-third of the American association membership.
 At Wellington. \. Z.. a campaign to raise S533. .000 for an association build ing was carried through in seventeen days after a central site worth $30,- GOO had been offered by q lady of the city. A young men $ committee of one hundred. which met daily at 7:15 a. n gave and secured Sl2.500 from 945 young men, The balance was given by 446 citizens Archdeacon Williams gave 5000. He was one of the early Maori missionaries whose influence in pacifying the natives was so great that the government had given him grants of land. which has become profitable from sheep raising The income he devOtes to charitable ob- iects he himself living in a shepherds s shack lS0 miles from Wellington. At Melbourne the mayor of the city opened a campaign to re-establish an association by d banquet given Mr. Budge in the council chamber.

When introducinS Mr. Bud&e the archdeacon expressed his grave doubts as to the value of the association in Australia. He be- came its ardent supporter. For a series of evenings. from 6 to 10 O clock. institutes with the leading Christian business men were con dacted, teaching successful associa- ton methods One association gym nasium came into the control of a "SandoW" man. who made it gamb ling place. This building accunlu- lated debt of $65 1000. At one city the association had rooms in a ware house siXty-four stairs up. In an mortgaged that the best part of it was rented cat for income. It will soon occupy. free of debt, a new building constructed on the American plan, with gymnasium on the grounl floor. conducted on bOdy-building, clcan-sport principles
 The leaf from a pamphlet issued by the secretary at Brisbane describ- ing what a Young Mems Christian as socialion ought to do for the young men of a city. and did in America got into the hands of the venerable Will liam Cribb. It so impressed him that he stepped into the association rooms one day with a deed of a property worth $125,000, which he gave to the organization. At Hobart, Mir, Charles Davis gave the association building site worth $7500 and 5000 in cash, which made rapid canvass for a successful.
