THE WHITE RIVER couurRv.

In the opinion OF one who has trav-
e.ed much and observed closely. the
most truly and rightfully contented
people IN the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coua-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark. to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and.
until recently, the great, uneasy. dis
quieting world, with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than dream. Here. still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than In the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir-
ited Anglo-Saxon Every man Is the
supreme ruler OF his own little prin-
cipality: acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his FEM
inine helpmeet; cringing to no EN-.
ployer; asking no favors from the
world. save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives In a latitude where
the extremes OF heat or cold are never
known. and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
OF Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but 1t is a
question whether he more than dlmly

tempt the hill.dweller to part with his

pass from our hands before We come
TO understand their value. The White

SAN BRUNO SCHOOL
BUILT AT BARBECUE
Citizens Have Saving Bee
and Raise Structure Amid
Most Exciting Sports

SAN BRUNO PARK. Sept. 13-The
colonists in this neighborhood have re-
vived the. old-time saving bee in the
form OF barbecue and picnic and be-
tween the acts of amusements the
many guests are invited to take part
in saw and hatchet brigade, and within
the next couple of weeks the children
of this section will be invited to at
tend neat little school built entirely
by volunteer labor of the coIonists.
Already there are over $50 children
in the neighberhood and when school
opened in other sections of the county
it was discovered that nothing could
be done for San Bruno for at least an
other year. A local firm offered do
nation of $1,000 and the enthusiastic
citizens held a meeting and decided
to build the school themselves. This
work was not as rapid as it might be,
SO the committee arranged barbecue
and dance, which took place Monday
on the school grounds. Several hum
dred people were present and the
school was rooted and hoored during
the day.
The most interesting feature of the
day was a ladies' horse race, in which
Miss Florence Lloyd and Mrs. Fred
Hudson took part. The first heat was
a tie, but at. the close of the second
Mrs. Hudson won by nearly length.
At night the school was so far COM
pleted that dancing was made possible
and the many couples spent the re-
naming part of the evening in that
accomplished art.

BLOWS Of PEODLER
MAY END LIFE.
Maurice Springer Inhicts
Probably Fatal Injuries
on Young Emmett Carr

OAKLAND, Sept. 13.-With blood
streaming from a dozen deep cuts on
his head, and his face badly battered,
Emmett Carr, who resides at 1871
Market street, staggered into the
Central police station early this morn
ing. and reported that he had been at
tackled and beaten by Maurice Springer,
a peddler. Instructions were at once
sent out to arrest Springer, and the
latter was captured today at Olsen's s
market.
Shortly after Springer had been
taken into custody word was received
at the police station that Carr was in a
precarious condition as a result of the
beating he received at the hands of the
peddler, and in consequence Springer
has been booked al the city prison on a
felony charge.
According to witnesses of the attack
on Carr, Springer was the aggressor, at
tacking Carr, who is no match for him
physically, because the latter protested
against being annoyed by Springer, and
a gang of half-drunken toughs who
were in the peddler's company 1t is
alleged that Springer had been tor
menting Carr, and had several times
been asked to desist, when suddenly
without a word of warning, he attack
ed Carr and knocked him down, and
then beat his victim into insensibility.
According to the physician who is at
tending Carr, there is a strong probabfl-
ity that the injuries of the latter may
prove fatal.
