The King County
Game Protective
Association

The follow is a letter to this
paper that is OF interest TO all
sportsmen and, with the writers
permission, we give ii TO you.
The King County Game Pro-
tective Association expects to con-
struct a series Of hateheries for
game and fish in this county. In
several instances this association
has been offered as gilt, sites for
such hataheries, also in several in
stances. lumber to construct the
buildings, fumes etc.
This Association has worked on
the proposition for the last three
years and after thorough invcsti-
CATION we feel that this is the only
way to re-stock game and fish and
has appealed to the county COM
missioners for an annual appropri-
alton for at least one such hatchery
and for funds to erect buildings.
This hatchery is to be the prop
erty of the association and will be
leased to King Co. for $l,00 year
so long as King Co. appropriates
sufficient money for maintenance.
The artificial Matching OF fish is
no longer an experiment and it
should be encouraged thraout the
entire state as our fish and game
are becoming scarcer and our
sportsman more numerous.
A bird hatchery would rear
Chinese Pheasants, Bob White
Quail, and other classes OF game
birds. iil,crc is about IS, ,o0U in
the County Game Protection fund
and on August first the new
issue Of hunters licenses will add
another five thousand dollars to
the fund. The expense OF running
the game warden's Office is abou,
$1,000 per year. The mainten.
ance OF such hatchery is estimated
to be about 1000 per year
The sportsmen are willing &c
contribute licence money but the,
expect some results. The last twt
years we expended about $1,000 {
. year for game birds and we fine
that th!s county is we'll stocked
| Should the commissioners ALLOW
the appropriation asked for, thi
: association will begin operation
' at once. The object is to protec
the game and to restock our iores
t and streams.

Large Sum Paid Out.

In statement made by State Treas urer James l.. Yates, he has paid out of the treasury during the past ten days $150,000 The largest payments of this sum have been made to the Arkansas State University. The first payment to the university was S65,000, d portion of which was provided for in the deficiency bill passed by the recent legislature, the balance, $11,- SIS, on account of what is known as the Morrill, fund This fund takes it's name from the late United States Sen ator Justin & Morrill, of Vermont. Senator Morrill, was staunch friend of the agricultural colleges of the country, and in 1858 introduced in Congress the first land grant bill. The measure passed both houses of Con gross, but was vetoed by President Buchanan. He reintrodnced the bill in 1862, and it became a law with the approval of President Lincoln. In the early sos the Arkansas Industrial Uni yersity, now the Arkansas University. commenced receiving it's pro rata of the grant, amounting to $10,000. IL was increased $1.000 every year. and for two years previous to this year the grant amounted to $25,000 This year the amount raid to the Arkansa. University was $3o,000. the last pay ment on which was made recently, amounting to $11,S1S.

Win Great Victory.

Rome, Noy.-General municipal cleo tions were held in this city Sunday, and il is declared throughout Rome that the Anti-clericals gained their greatest victory since the fall of the church from temporal power. Only municipal offices were filled. but the election assumed a distinct political character. It's importance was not on ly local, but extended all through Italy The contest came as conclusion to the Anti-Clerical campaign. which had its beginning practically with the pres ent pontificate. for the Clericals were then allowed for the first time to par ticipate in the political life of the coun- try. There was a reactionary move tnent among the Anti-Clerical clement; !; some of them swung over from the Conservatives to the Socialists and the municipal elections in Rome were chosen as a battlefield Defeat be- ing inevitable, the Clericals, for the first time since 1870, withdrew from the field and as a result, the Anti Glericals' victory was complete and without precedent. The Vatican or gans maintain that the abstention of the Clerical votes was nothing more than a matter of tactics

Beino Watched With Interest.

The progress of the well which is being sunk by the Neimeyer Lumber Company at it's new mill near the new penitentiary, is being watched with much interest by both the Home Wat CT Company and others who are inter- ested in the agitation for better water for Little Rock, for the success of the well may determine whether it will be feasible to sink artesian wells to obtain a water supply for Little Rock.
 It has been stated that water can not be found at a depth of less than 1000 feet, since strata of rock may be found at a vast depth beneath Little Rock on account of some vol canic disturbance of ages ago. The Neimeyer well has thus far been sunk to a depth of 300 feet, and still it is passing through strata of stone with no water to speak of in sight. The well is being sunk through a slanting strata of shale Oil in small quanti- ties has been found. The oil lies in pockets in the rock. Coal has also been found far beneath the surface of the earth, put not in paying quanti- ties. Should water be found at a mod crate depth. it may be thought cheaper to bore artesian wells for Little Rock s water supply than to go to some other stream than the Arkansas river.

pIanond eearlna Roek.

Col. ] 4. Wo0dson of Little Rock and Walter Mauney of Pike county placed on exhibition recently at the Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture a dozen or more speci- mems of diamond-bearing rock selected from the diamond field territory near Murfreesboro from lands owned by Col. Noodson and MT Mauney. The lands of Col Woodson and Mr. Maui ney adjain those of the Reyburn-Stifft syndicate, in fact nearly surround the latter Col. Weodson owns tract of leo acres east of the Reyburn-Stifft syndicate holdings. and Mir Mauney owns between 3.500 and 1000 acres. The specimens presented to the bureau are in various stages of de- composition. One piece of the perido- tite rock, taken from Mir Mauney's land and weighing about pound, is in q far advanced state of decomposition. It is expected this rock will disinte. grate in about three weeks, and much curiosity has been aroused at the agri- cultural department as to whether il contains one of more diamonds, O. any. The piece of rock will be closely watched and the process of disintegra- tion noted daily. There are other spec imens that will not deeompose before the end of six months or year, and until they deeompnse and erumble ths secret as to whether they contain dia- monds will not be divulged

Report of Death a Mistake.

The press recently announced the sudden de:th of Chancellor Alonza Curl while on his way to Mt Ida to hold court The report was accepted
 as true not only by the people and press of Hot Springs, but by the Judges family, who made arrange ments with q local undertaken to send for the body. It was later learned that the announcement of his death was a mistake due to the misunder= standing of long-distance telephone message On his way to Mt. Ida Judge Curl stopped at the house of man named Shockley. It was this man who died suddenly, while Judge Curl was there, and in telephoning the facts of the death and the presence of Judge Curl the message was misunderstood.

CAN GAIN INDEPENDENCE
Fllipinos Believe That Taft's Vjsi, Will Aid In Securing Their Lib
 erty

Manila, NOVA feature of the visit of Secretary of War Taft 10 Manila was the presence of Auginaldo at sev. eral of the functions, for the first time since his capture. Discussing the probable results of the visit of Mir. Taft to Manila. he is reported as say ing.
 Tt is my belief that the benefits to follow the visit to the Philippine peo- pie will be greater than they can rec ognize at the present time. I am at present unable to form an opinion off hand of the possible future advantages but am confident that it has done good. The inauguration of the assembly has gone long way to cement the friend ship of my people with the people of the United States. As fulfllment of solemn promise. which many expect cd would not be fulfilled. the secretary of war did not bring independence for my people in his pocket but he brought the means of attaining it. He told Us how We can get it. The Filipin- os are thankful for the information and pleased al what the assembly has done especially in the interests of leg islation, education and agriculture" President of the Assembly Osmena- considers that the most important re suits of the visit has been the harmon izing of the feeling between the Amer jeans and the Filipinos, and leoks upon teo as-aa-bly as having been the great- est thing done yet. He is confident that much more has been accomplished than appears on the surface.

Plans For Reclaiming Land,.

A party of drainage experts are touring eastern Arkansas for the pur- pose of making plans for the forma ton Of drainage district. There is a swamp extending from the northern to the further end of Ashley county west of Lake Village. In this district there are more than 200, 900 acres of which not more than 10000 acres are under cultivation. By the digging of a short ditch which will divert some of the water from Bayou Macon into Beeuff river. great part of this ter ritory can be drained. it is believed. The cost of the work will be small in comparison to the extent of the ter ritory which will be effected It is expected that district will be formed within a short time to carry out this project.

Crop Conditions In Arkansas.

Reports received by Commissioner Guy B. Tucker of the agricultural de- partment from 32 counties in Ar kansas. indicate that the cotton crop in Arkansas this year will be frac- tion more than GA per cent of what it was last year. According to the es- innate based upon the return from the 32 counties. the number of bales that will be produced will be about 550,000. Some of the counties in which rain has been plentiful, have not reported Commissioner Tucker estimates that the state this year will produce about G50.o00 bales The re- port shows that the corn crop is about half what it was last year. In nearly all the counties reported labor seems to be sufficient to meet all farm demands.

The location of the Knapp drinking fountain has never been decided upon, but Mayor w. F. Lemon still has the matter under advisement. He has re ceived many suggestions regarding the most suitable place for this feun- tain, and in all probability will within day or 50 decide where it shall be placed. This fountain was bequeathed to the city by Mrs Knapp, who died in Little Rock some three years ago. Inability to decide upon location has delayed it's erection.
