County Collectors Fees.

Attorney General Kirby recently rendered an opinion regarding the fees that county collectors are entitled to, in listing nonresident, or unknown property holders. There has been con siderable controversy on the matter between the assessors in the State, and the county judges, the former claiming that they were entitled to S1 for every name of a nonresident that they listed, and the county judges assuming that the assessors were entitled to $1 for each township listed. A definition of the law was requested of the attorney general by County Judge w. T. Martin of Ouachita county, who, it is said, disputed the bill rendered by the assessor of the county Attorney General Kirby addressed the following letter to Judge Martin, which is self-explanatory: Yours of the 11th inst asking my allowed the assessor for making list of real property of unknown and non resident owners, under section b9oU, Kirby's Digest, is received For each list of real property the owner or owners of which are unknown, or non residents, one dollar, and all such lands in one township and range to be embraced or counted as one list. but if any unknown person or non resident owns lands on more than one township he shall be allowed one dol lar for each township. Provided, no fee shall be allowed any assessor for listing any name or personal property unless said party or property, as the case may be, is in the county and subject to taxation" Section 6960 Kirby's Digest The assessor Is entit- led to one dollar, and no more, for assessing all lands of non-residents and unknown owners in each township where there are any of such lands.

Oil FieIds of Fort Smith.

Fort Smiths oil boom continues to grow. A number of outside oil oper- ators are becoming interested. The investigation of the field has devel- oped the fact that this section of the State is not only we'll supplied with coal and gas but that it has beds of shale and fine grade potter's clay, the equal of which is not found in any part of the United States. It has developed that in some parts of the Massard Prairie where the gas is found in largest quantities. holes have been drilled through beds of this clay TOO feet in thickness. The drill has shown that this shale is of excellent quality, buff, blue and black, soft, medium and hard. It is without a break and is suitable to manufacture brick of every conceivable variety It is rich in aluminium and easy of access and will make a high grade tiling. In addition to these deposits, the drill has passed through cement, shale, and coal, and beneath these three valuable miner als. gas has been found in such quan- ties as to lead oil and gas men to say that this field when more fully developed will be the largest gas field in the United States.

Test Would Be Easy.

In the matter of the reported 1n- tention of State Capitol Commission CT Alexander of Pine Bluff to carry the question of the legality of At torney General Kirby's opinion, which prohibits the further eXpendi- ture of the money in the State cap itol fund. to the Supreme Court for final disposition, it has been pointed out bv a statehouse official that the course to pursue for the commission CT was simple and inexpensive. Any one of the commissioners could pre- sent his voucher for per diem to the State auditor for payment and upon his refusal. apply for writ of man damus to compel payment in the Cir cult Court. In the event that the question was decided adversely for the commissioner, the case could be carried to the Supreme Court on an appeal In a matter of this kind, where the public is so generally con cerned, it is very probable that the suit would be advanced peremptorily on the calendar and be heard at once The expense would not be greater than $25 for all the legal for maiities necessary to carry 1t to the Supreme Court.

No Roof For Capitol.

The State Capitol Commission has been in session this week. at which the report of the contractors was received. Beyond the setting of some necessary stone. the work on the build. ing will soon be discontinued. Since the last meeting of the commissioners, construction has been going on, in an effort to finish in places where, if left long to the exposure of the weather, rapid disintegration would take place. Then the contractors will discontinue until either a special session of the legislature has relieved the situation or wait two years until the regular session of the legislature passes the appropriation that will be required to complete the building.

Fred, became demented on the trip and while enroute home he leaped from the rear of the train while 1t was running 40 miles an hour. The train was stopped and backed to the place where he leaped, but no trace of him could be found. Just what became of him immediately after is not known as he sustained a broken leg. and severe bruises by the fall and it was impossible for him to go far Twenty-fOur hours later he dragged himself to a farmhouse and asked for aid. When he jumped he rolled over and over, being severely injured. but reason returned with the physical shock He cut off his trou- sers leg, and cut some stiff. heavy weeds. and placed them around the le. Then he bound them with slips of his trousers firmly in place. His belt was used to lash both legs close together to stiffen the injured member Then he began his wearisome hunt for help

Let Artificial Limb Contract.

The Pension Board awarded the contract for the furnishing of artifl- cial limbs for 14 disabled Confederate pensioners to Harry Glenn, represent ing the Winkler Artificial Limb Com pany of St. Paul, Minn. The price of each limb delivered to it's recipient will be s100. MT. Glenn agreed to take the measurements and will guarantee the fit and wear of the limb. State Auditor Moore has been conducting the investigations and was empowered by his fellow members of the board to make the selections of any make of limb he say fit. He secured cata- logues from practically all the artifi- cial limb manufacturers of the coun- try and decided upon the Winkler limb. MT. Glenn, who wears an artificial limb. gave a practical demonstration of his ability to move about at the meeting of the Pension Board. So well has he adapted himself to the artificial member that he can do nearly everything that he could do before he met with the accident that caused the amputation of his leg. In speaking of the contract, State Auditor Moore said that while $1O0 for each limb is prob ably a high price, he thought that the best should be secured. MT. Glenn will make visits to each of the pen sioners who are to receive limb and will measure them and send in the orders possibly next week.
