Some of them are pretty good, too.

NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-With
opening of the presidential year the
development of the political situa-
ton in New York will be watched
with the keenest interest, for in
that situation is involved the future
prestige and influence of Mr.. Roose-
welt. From an outside view point
it would seem that the presidents
position is not particularly happy

What remains of the old republic
can organization is against him; it
always has been against him when
it could, and always will be when
it can. The new organization, the
one which is pushing Governor
Hughes as a presidential candidate,
also is unfriendly to the president
at the present juncture. Originally
supporter of Hughes and largely
responsible for his nomination for
the governorship. Mr.. Roosevelt's
relation with the state executive has

The friends of Hughes insist that
, the governor is New York's favorite
so for the presidency, and they re-
sent the fact that the president, a
New York man, should not be a
Hughes supporter. It generally is
conceded that as between Hughes
and CorteIyou, the president would
rather that Cortelyou should get the
New York delegation; and that II
would please him better If New
York's votes could be swung to Taft

BROWN MADE WILL
WHILE DRUNK
SUIT BY MRS. BRADLEY IN BE-
HALF OF BROWNS SONS WILL
SET UP THIS ALLEGATION TO
BREAK WILL

SALT LAKE, Dec ga suit has
been filed in the third district court
to break the will of the late Arthur
Brown that one-half of his estate
may be retained for the support of
his sons, Arthur Brown, jr., aged Z,
and Montgomery Brown, aged A.
In order that this suit may be car
ried through the court will be petit
toned to appoint Mrs. M. H. Maddi-
son guardian ad litem for the boys.
Mrs. Madison is the mother of Mrs.
Anna M. Bradley, who was acquit-
ted after a sensational trial on a
charge of killing former Senator
Arthur Brown a little more than one
year ago.
Judge Orlando w. Powers, whose
masterful conduct of the defense re-
suited in the acquittal of Mrs. Brad
ley at Washington, will act for Mrs
Madison and the boys as attorney
in the suit to dissolve the Brown
will and give the sons of the former
senator one-half interest in his es-
tate, which is held to be their due
under the statutes of Utah. ~4AS--
The petition for the appointment
of the children's grandmother as
their guardian for the purpose of
bringing suit against the estate cites
briefly the causes Of action in the
case. Judge Powers sets forth that
the will of Arthur Brown was signed
while the former senator was intox-
icated to such an extent that he was
Incompetent to dispose Of his prop
erty and that furthermore he wal
not Of sound and disposing memory
It also cites that It was not his las

ADMIRAL DEWEY
AGED SEVENTY
HIS HOME IN WASHINGTON TO-
DAY SCENE OF RECEPTION
WHERE HE RECEIVES THE FE-
LICITATIONS OF OLD FRIENDS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 90
Admiral George Dewey. the only full
admiral in the American navy, was
seventy years old today, having been
born December 26, 1897, in Mont
pelier, VT. Ten years ago, early in
the morning of the first OF May,
George Dewey, then merely a COM
mOdOre, made history and wrote his
name in the list of the worlds
great naval commanders. On that
day he sailed into Manila bay and
with his little squadron Of warships
sent the Spanish feet to destruction.
Many friends of Admiral Dewey,
including several of the officers who
I served under him at Manila. called
at his home today to felioitate him.
i The Admiral celebrated his birth
= day with 4 large dinner party last
week, so there was no formal OBJ
scrvance of the anniversary today
beyond the receipt of many congrat-
ulations.
Admiral Dewey is the only living
naval officer serving his country who
will remain on the active list until
he wishes to apply for retirement
and thus be able to point with pride
to an unusually long and uninter-
rupted service. He began his re-
markable career early, and could he
live his life over again, he says, he
would not change the course it has
taken. After a preparatory training
at the Norwich Military Academy,
supplementing the valuable personal
instruction of his father, who was
one of the best known physicians of
his day, young Dewey entered the
Naval Academy at the age of six
teen. Immediately upon leaving the
academy, four years later, in 1858,
he was ordered to active service
and, lacking only a few months
space of time. he has now been fifty
three years in the navy. Admiral
Dewey says that, excepting the too
close proximity of the bullets, the
most interesting training he re-
ceived after leaving school was I'M
der Admiral Farragut, from 1861
to 1868, in the Mississippi river
squadron.
Admiral Dewey at 70 is mentally
and physically strong. He finds a
good deal in life to keep him young
and to all appearances he is no
older today than he was when he
fought at Manila bay ten years ago,
and the vigor with which he COM
manded proved that he was much
younger than his years.
Yesterday he spent Christmas at
home, but this morning, as usual, he
was up bright and early and at his
Office before many of his clerks had
reported for duty. He is president
of the general board, which keeps
him in touch with all that the navy
does. At present he is very much
interested in the trip of the Ameri-
can battleships from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast.
Few public men so honored as
Admiral Dewey has been have more
deeply felt the appreciation of the
country's esteem. He says that the
memory of the magnificent reception
which he received upon arrival home
from Manila bay is one of the things
that have helped to keep him young

FIGHT OVER DRAINAGE DISTRICT
Being Waged Before Legislative
 Committee.
Promoters and Oppon ents of Tupelo Drain age District Having Hearing at
 Little Rock Today.

A fight between the promoters and opponents of the Tupelo drain age district bill, now pending in the legislature, IS being waged be- fore the senate committee on in- ternal Improvements at Little Rock today. Those favoring the passage of the bill are represented by Sam Frauenthal, while the opponents are represented by Col. c. w. Bruce.
 Several attempts have been made to take steps to drain the Tupelo swamp, a body of land lying from five to ten miles of Conway. A drainage district was organized by the county court several years ago, but the promoters were defeated in an appeal to the circuit court. The district was reorganized by the county court last October, embrac- ing slightly different territory and eliminating the lands of certain ob- jectors.
 A Dill was introduced 1n the Sen- ate to incorporate the district last week. Those opposing the meas ure claim that this action was taken in order to secure certain features undesirable to them which were eliminated in the district es- tablished by the county court. Those favoring the measure state that the bill was introduced 80 that the district might be more fmly established and bonds for the cost of the work more easily and favor ably sold. They claim that the general law providing for these districts is loosely drawn, render ing them easily dissolved in higher courts and making the sale of bonds difficult.

WAREHOUSE LOCATED HERE
Farmers Union Company Have Bought
 Drummer Lots Near Light Plant.

As stated in the Log Cabin Dem ocrat last week the committee in charge of the erection of tue cotton warehouse have reconsidered their plans and will build here instead of at Plumerville. Lots just east of the city light plant have been bought from H. Drummer, and the committee hopes to be ready to be- gin work on the warehouse within short time. The warehouse will be built of brick.
 President Joseph Leinhart of the warehouse company has issued the following statement to the stock holders of the company:
 To the Stockholders of the Faulk
 her County Warehouse Com
 pany:
 The directors of the above named company have purchased a lot and are preparing to begin building soon. The business men of Con- way have recently held a meeting and made liberal subscriptions for stock, thus showing their d1sposl- ton to help us in this enterprise. Now, we must have money, If we expect tosaccomplish anything, and we will have plenty to carry out our purposes if those who have subscribed for stock will come up and pay their assessments.
 We do not want to bring any suits and are willing to be as for bearing as we can consistently with our duty as officers of this company; but unless the subscrib- CTS make some kind of arrange ment, either to pay their subscrp- tions or to secure same, our only recourse will be to institute suits.
 Our attorney, J. G. Lille, can be found in his office almost any time, and parties indebted to the ware house company are requested to call on him and make settlement.

ASK FOR FENCING DISTRICT
Citizens of Clifton and Union Townships
 Seek to Form District.

A. l.. Nichols and other citizens of Union and Clifton townships presented on last Monday peti- ton to the County Court, asking for the establishment of fencing district along the North Cadron in the two townships mentioned. It is claimed that the object of the establishment of this district is to do away with the necessity of maintaining fences in the territory soverhowed by the Cadron, where Hit is said to be difficult to maintain sfences on account of high water. } If the district is established fence will be built around the entire ter
 ritory and the running at large of cattle in the district will be pro- 8hibited.
 Some of the land owners in the proposed territory oppose the es- Establishment of the district, and the Hcourt set next Monday as the day
 on which the petitioners and re-
 monstrants would have hearing.

SEVERE LOSS BY FLAMES.
Fire Destroys Gin and Other Property on
 Little Plantation.

Fire, which started in a cotton press on the J. E. Little plantation Monday afternoon, destroyed the gin, cotton house, large crib con- taining 6ooo bushels of corn, about 35 or 40 bales of cotton and large amount of seed.
 The fire was discovered about ? o'clock, but owing to the high
 ind and inham mable character of the property, it was impossible to save it. Besides the property men, tioned above, the store house and one dwelling were ignited, but were saved, and several bales of cotton were rolled away before they were burned.
 The loss will probably aggregate about SIP, ,ooo, partially covered by insurance. MT. Little is on his plantation today and more defn- ite statement of the loss cannot be obtained until he returns.

Thomas Howard has sold his farm one mile west of Conway, which he has owned for about thirty years, to M. c. Carr of Little Rock. The farm comprises 2So acres and the consideration was S7ooo, or $25 an acre. The land is located on the river road between Conway and Reeves school house.

Howard of Shawnee, Okla, who has been in the city for the past few days, made the deal for his father, Thomas Howard. The latter will leave with him on his return and make his home in Oklahoma. Two sons-in-law of MT. Carr will take charge of the farm for the present.

.HEBER SOON TO HAVE TRAINS
Expected That They Will Run
 by January I.
Major Max Frauenthal of This City Large Real Estate Owner in Town Reached
 by New Road.

A special to the Little Rock Ga zette from Heber says:
 The indications are now that the people of Heber will welcome the first train from Searcy to this place by January I, 1908, Ii not sooner The impression has been all the time that the extension would be made from Leslie to He Der first, and that the first train would reach here from the north but prominent railroad men and contractors think otherwise and say the extension from Searcy to this point will be made and trains running into Heber from the east surely by next January.
 About fifteen miles of dump" has been built from Leslie since the work was begun last Septem- Der, and the laying of steel will soon begin. Another large crew of men were put to work last week, and over 2,ooo men are now at work between Leslie and Searcy, the terminus of the road. It is thought now that the company will build two or three miles of switch es at this point. The right of way through C..eburne county has been secured, also through the town of Heber. It is understood here that the railroad company has offered to buy the famous Sugar Loaf spring Chine in all, with the ten acre park, from Maj. Max Frauen- thai of Conway.
 MT. Frauenthal owns I6o acres of land-in fact, most of the town here-and has given the right of way through his land and is as sisting the company in every way he can. About fifteen miles of the right of way between here and Searcy has been finished, and dirt is flying for the dump in two or three places. The men are as busy as bees cutting the timber and cut ting and hauling ties for the long 1oOked for railroad

RECORD BREAKING RECEIPTS
Unprecedented Amount of Cotton
 Bought Here.
Receipts Already Far Exceed That of Any Previous Year, With Probably 1900
 Bales Yet to Come.

By the time this paper reaches the majority of our readers Conway merchants will have bought twenty thousand bales of cotton during the present season, beginning Sep tember I, Ioo6. Up to Tuesday night 1o, 622 bales had been re- ceived here, as will be shown by our weekly statement in another column. The balance of 57S bales will doubtless reach here before the close of the week.
 This far exceeds the record of any previous season. The largest number of bales ever bought here before this season was 7,5OO, or more than 2ooO under the receipts thus far this season. Local cotton men are of the opinion thaS at least 1900 more bales will be bought here before the close of the season. Over half that number was bought during the past week alone. The probabilities are that Conway will ship very close to p, ,ooo bales of cotton during the season of 1oo6-o7. At an average price of $50 per bale this would mean that SI, 100, 900 will be paid for the feecy staple in this city during the twelve months ending August 3I, 1907. The total re- ceipts for the previous season were I3, ,o67 and for the season of I9o4- o5 the total was I5,277.
 This phenomenal increase has not been shown by other towns in the state. Morrilton, for instance, having a much larger amount of river land tributary to it, has al ways until this year bought lar ger amount than Conway, but is several thousand bales behind us this year. Hope, a compress town and a wellknown cotton center, according to statement recently published, had received only about a thousand bales more than Con- way.
 The buyers of this city rrclaim that they have been paying top price for the staple and that this ct is becoming known through wider territory than heretofore. Hundreds of farmers who have been in the habit of selling cotton at Morrilton, Plumerville, Searcy, Beebe and other points have brought their product to Conway this year.
