To this end he proposed to send free of all expense twenty-five sets of gov ernmental reports of latest and most approved methods, and when these arrive they can be had at the Star office on applica- tion.
 He reported that the apples of this vicinity, while not a large crop, was quite perfect with the exception of some bitter rot in a few orchards. He found sev- eral apricot also an occasional plum and cherry tree that had been killed by very insidious borer which worked underneath the bark near the ground without leaving or causing any outward signs of it's work as on apple and peach trees. For twig blight on apple trees he said the only remedy was to watch the orc hard closely and upon the first appear ance of this blight cut it off and burn thereby preventing it's spread to great degree at least

Ft. Smith, Ark, July 26.-Wednes- day morning Joe Johnson, an attorney of this city. filed in the federal court at Muskogee, bill in equity restrain ing Tams Bixby, commissioner for the five civilized tribes, from re-openlng the roll for the addition of from
 1000 to 10000 persons recently born. The complaint is brought in the name of Henry Eiffert, Cherokee, who al leges that the act of congress ap- proved April, 1906, providing for the re-opening is unconstitutional and that the opening will cause to be distributed among the new additions from $5,000,0 to $l0.000,000 worth of tribal property now belonging to those already on the roll and in which those who it is proposed to put on the roll under the act have no rights.

Alter the petition was filed parties representing Arden, near the cen ter of the county, stated that they wished to file a petition and enter Arden as one of the candidates for the county seat but were not ready with their papers. On motion of Hal l..

It was first established at Rocky Comfort (Foreman), then moved to Richmond, then back to Fore man, then to Ashdown, and now pending contest will decide whether 1t will remain at Ash down or to some other point that may contest for 1t.
