TO PROTECT OUR FORESTS
Medical Society Meeting Place to Be
Changed-Death of Wealthy Woman
Buys Large Coal Tract-White
River Telegraph Offices.


Reports from Washington indicate
that the Forest Bureau is seriously
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of estab-
fishing a forest reserve in Arkansas.
According to Forester Pinchot, direc-
tor of the bureau, the great forests OF
Arkansas are becoming devastated.
and in fact will be wiped out of exist
ence if conditions continue as now.
If a free hand is given in Arkansas
much longer and settlers are per.
mitted to cut and slash and burn
wherever they will these forests will
practically vanish within a generation,
and the people of Arkansas will be
driven to the necessity of buying their
lumber in distant markets, says Mr..
Pinchot. The forestry service admits
that the lumber industry is the largest
in Arkansas, yet it will not stand idly
by and watch the destruction of what
in the future will be the greatest as
set to the state. There are nearly 3,000,-
600 acres of the public domain in Ar
kansas, and much of this land is yalu-
able for its timber.

State Medical Society Meeting.

The officers of the State Medical So
ciety have been advised that Fine
Bluff will be unable to entertain the
delegates to the state meeting this
year, and meeting of the officers
will be held within a few days to ar
range for another meeting place The
hotel accommodation of Pine Bluff
will not be sufficient to accommodate
the crowd, and the society there de-
cided to let some other city have the
meeting rather than curtail the at
tendance. Inasmuch as Hot Springs
was close second in the race for this
meeting, it is expected that city will
be chosen as the place of meeting.

which moved the Vandals and the Sar

One theory is held that this attemp
