Asks Aid of White Union.

The Grand State Colored Farmers Progressive Union. which held it's an nual session in Little Rock. Aug IT., it's regret that the Farmers Union. at it's recent session, voted to have noth- ing to do with the negro Farmers Union. The Executive Committee presented report in which it was stated that it had been hoped thatthere might be some work upon w.ich the two organizations could get together and act in concert. It was declared that the negro union represents a great body of farmers who want the assistance of the white union farmers The report suggested that the County Executive Committees of the negro union try to arrange in their respec- tive counties to have their cotton placed where it can be handled and sold at the same time and to the sama buyers who buy the cotton of the white farmers. and at the same price. There were about D delegates at the con vention, representing 19 counties.

Picking Up Pointers.

Attorney General Rogers was at St Louis recently gathering evidence in support of his suit to annul the charter of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, on the ground that it has violated the Arkansas antitrust law.

Keep It Before the People.

The strong and earnest support given Amendment No. s by a resolu- ton unanimously passed by the Farmers Union at it's convention in Little Rock shows the healthfnl trend of public opinion on the all important subject embraced in that amendment. It has been plainly shown by State Superintendent Of Public Instruction John H. Hinemon. the interest of the proposed amend ment to our state constitution, that it's passage into fundamental law will not, cannot, increase taxation, but only gives those directly interested the power to tax themselves for the purpose of popular education. This true status has been so plainly estab lished that even he who runs may read and the result is the people of the state and especially those most vitally interested, the country citi. zenship. are fully awakened to the importance of the matter. and will cast their votes in favor of progress siye popular education at the coming election. The Farmers Union, repre- senting the bone and sinew of the land, and the fact that it has emphat- ically endorsed the measure speaks volumes in favor of the enlightened forces of the toiling masses of the commonwealth The fact is, what is called the common people, have al. ways been aetuated by the principles of common sense; all they ever want or ask, is to have subject clearly and plainly defined 10 them, in order that they may act promptly intelli- gently. and wholly without prejudice. The Farmers Union, speaking in their behalf, has declared in favor of Amendment No. s. and it will carry at the September election. And it is only fair to state that through the modest though strenuous and constant labors of Supt Hinemon in making a plain exposition of the matter. the prospective success of that amendment shall be in no small part due

OLD BATTLE-GROUND IN ARKAN.
 SAS MADE BREEDING PLACE.
Company Organized for the Purpose of Preventing the Threatened Extinction of the Noble
 Creatures.

In Arkansas, in the heart Of his once lordly domain and on the ground over which the armies of Mccullough and Siegel conducted the campaigns which eliminated in the battle of Pea Ridge, is Elk mountain. the only elk farm in the world, and where man is attempting to stay the certain fate of extermination which must be the elk's without human intervention.
 The stories of the Osages which painted the forests of the Ozarks as almost the happy hunting grounds do not seem such remote traditions, for there are whites still living who tell of seeing as many as 60 elk in one cove within six miles of where Eureka Springs stands to-day.
 The large pair of antlers which adorn one gable of the F.lkhorn Tav- ern, still standing on the historic bat tlefield of Pea Ridge. were taken from a big elk killed near the spot. The history of these mute witnesses of the

club in Chicago recently, by defeating Nat Emerson, of Cincinnati, in three out of four sets. The premier artist or the west made it known to his frleHds some time ago that in case he should win the western title this year and get possession of the trophy he would never again take part in the contests. This is the second time that Collins has won the trophy and he thinks that it is about time that he stepped out and gave some one else a chance. Collins is 31 years old In all he has played tennis about Il years. He came within an ace" of winning his second cup in 1903, when he had two legs on the trophy. but Neil defeated him in the challenge round that year. Collins has won
 every western since that time and feels that he has his fill of glory there.
 Collins has cut quite a figure in the tennis work both in western and na- tional play since he began the game II years ago. For his first two years he competed in the western and did
 not do anything startling. but in his third year of play he startled the ten his world by going through the whole field and landing the honors. Since

domestic animals. Elk meat is not only the choicest, but 1t is becoming the rarest of venison; there is no maximum price. it is solely a question of opportunity with the epicure The dressed skins are much sought; good pair of antlers readily brings $50 to s75, and the demand from mem- bers for teeth as emblems of the Or der of Elks has far outstrippee the supply.
 For the capture alive of every elk at large, buck or doe, young or old, there is a price equivalent to s200 per head delivered And the company could empty it's pastures at these fig ures on a days notice were it's stock on the market. It's purpose is to build up the herd to point where not less than 50 head can be spared in sea son without materially retarding the increase.
 Two years ago I9 head were brought from Wyoming and put in a pasture of 1000 acres, inclosed by an eight-foot wire fence. They now have B head, and the increase from calves this summer will probably swell the herd to 40. One buck was gored to death and another was impaled on cedar snag during an ice storm. None has died from disease. They are as fat and sleek as well-conditioned cattle. They have been fed nothing, subsisting entirely upon leaves and branches of trees, scrub growth and weeds in preference to grasses, al- though the whole park has been sown in orchard.

 Two reasons for these surprises: In the flinty soil-common in the Ozarks-which produces only pine and black jack-grasses do not grow But Elk Park is in the hard wood belt, and when it's owners saw wal nuts, sugar naples and red hickories two feet in diameter growing on the highest points, they knew that to start grasses they had only to burn the leaves, cut the brush and SOW the seed
 The old settler marveled at the re- sult-still there was a mental reserva- tion in his wink-knowing that where undergrowth is so rapid the tender grass blades would soon be ehoked out But he had not reckoned with the elk. which browsed down the brush and left the grasses to nature and seed the ground anew, whereas horses or COWS would have beea an ally to weeds and vines in exterm'uat- t. ing the grasses.

Little in 1904 he won the na- tional championship in doubles at Newport, and last year, playing with L. Harry Waidner. he was defeated. This year Collins was chosen a mem- Der of the American team, which rep. resented the United States in the Davis competition in England. but was in miserable condition and did not do himself justice. Since returning from England he has rounded into form fast and in the challenge round at the Kenwood courts showed all of his last seasons speed and skill. Last season Collins played with Waidner in the western doubles championship, but this year, owing to a misunderstood ing, Waidner made arrangements to play with Nat Emerson, of Cincinnati, and Collins, playing with Rueben Hunt. California champion, lost out to his old mate and the Ohioan. Nat Emerson should be the logical success sor of Collins in the west, unless some one of the youngsters who have shown up so well should take the measure of the lanky Cincinnatian.
