For Arkansas Forest Reserve.

Reports from Washington indicate that the Forest Bureau is seriously considering the advisability 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 II conditions continue as now
 II 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 generation, and the people of Arkansas will be driven to the necessity of buying their lumber in distant markets, says MT Pinehot. 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.- 900 acres of the public domain in Ar kansas. and much of this land is valu. able for it's timber.

State Medical Society Meetino

The officers of the State Medical So. ciety have been advised that Pine 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 accommodations 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.

NO CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT
Because Uncle sam Wants to Know How Many Fighting Wen He Hns,
 1t Doesn't Mean War.

Washington The mere fact that the war department has asked the ad- jutant generals of the various states concerning their available military strengtk, requesting minute informa- ton regarding the number and present disposition of the state troops; their equipment, arms and munitions of war and their availability for immediate transportation 10 a given point of mo- bilization. has no bearing on the fear of trouble with China. IL is the cus- tom of the government to make such inquiries. and they would have been made if there was no fear of trouble with China or any other nation. For instance the records of the war le- partment show that Illinois had 5599 organized militia on December 1, 1905. and there were I56. 900 men in the state available for military duty: Indiana 2.6iS organized militia and 510, QUO men available for duty. Missouri 2,776 and 3a2 900; Ohio 5.537 and 60,O00; Penn sylvania 9.s20 and 960.0o0; New York, ,5.s s53 and 1000, ,00e available for duty. hV S"hi' itPoit SHoNs that oH De- cember 1 1905 all the states had IT, t4i organized militia and 10,609, ,4S0 men capable of carrying arms.
 Uncle Sam always knows how strong he is on land and sea
 Even in event of trouble with China the militia would not be called upon. The United States army is considered strong enough to cope with any trou- ble there; and even if 1t was not, it would be recruited up to the required ,tr h
