Bulletin Issued.

| Agricultural Commissioner Guy b.
| Tucker has issued a bulletin descrip
tive of Arkansas. According to the
report of the commissioner it appears
that the most valuable granite forma-
tions are in Pulaski county within
three miles of Little Rock.
Mr.. Tucker says: Arkansas
contains more varieties of stone than
any similar area on the globe, and
all of superior quality. Fourche noun
tain in Pulaski county, is a mass of
blue and gray granite. Typical gran
lite also appears in Saline county. The
blue granite, known as Pulaskite, of
Fourche mountain, has been subjected
to every test and in every instance
proved to be superior to that of any
other in the world. This blue granite
withstands higher pressure than
any of the well-known GRANTEES of the
country. Its low absorption of water
is greatly in its favor for building
purposes, while its qualities on the
whole rank it above all other known
GRANTEES. 1t is fine grained, even in
texture, and contains very little mica
and horn bLende. 1t is adapted for
building and paving purposes, and for
monument work. A portion OF the
streets of Little Rock Memphis. Tenn,
and Louisville, Ky, are paved with it.
Among the buildings which have been
constructed of the Fourche mountai,
granite may be mentioned the Dallas
county court house of Dallas, Tex, the
First Methodist church of Memphis,
Tenn, the Pulaski court house at Lit
tie Rock, the Roman Catholic cathe
dral at Little Rock, and many others.

Reunion of Masons Closes.

The Scottish Rite Masons of the val
! ley of Little Rock. have concluded
their work after a three days session.
A class, composed of representative
| business and professional men from all
sections of the State, have been ele
waited to Scottish Rite degrees, and
those who attended declare that the
sessions just closed were the most
interesting and instructive held in
years. The staff of officers who con-
ferred the various degrees, from fourth
to thirty second, were we'll versed in
the ritual, and the ceremonies were
most impressive and interesting. The
Arkansas consistory is now composed
of some 900 members, one of the larg
est in the Southern jurisdiction, and
possesses the finest home in the South.
The death of Frederick Weber re-
Gently was the cause of much regret
among the high Masons attending the
reunion. Mr.. Weber, one of the high
est Masons in the United States, was
secretary of the Supreme Council at
the time of his death. The Supreme
Council will, at it's pleasure, elect an
other to succeed to his place in the
council, which is composed Of SO thir
ty-third degree Masons in the United
States. And from this thirty-three, a
successor to Secretary Weber will be
elected. The Mason who will succeed
Mr. Weber as a member of the SUI
preme Council will be selected from
the list of honorary thirtythird degree
Masons in this country. There are
IA Masons of this rank in Arkansas,
and many others throughout the coun-
try. c. E. Rosenbaum is the Arkan-
sas member of the council

COLORS SEEN In DREAMS
Scientist Declares Red and yellow tn,
Only Two Visible to the
Sleeper.

Red and yellow are the dream coll
ors if DR.. Havelock Ellis is right.
No other hucs come to the dreamer
of dreams. Simroth has declared
that red is the most primitive of
colors, and long ago protoplasm
from which human beings derived
their origin on the new earth prob
ably responded to or was affected
by red color waves.
In the depth of the sea the algG
or seaweed are red. With the saw
age red is the favorite color, and for
bright piece of red calico African
savages gladly would give valuable
elephant tusks.
Red strikes the note of intense
emotions. 1t is the color of JOY,
eXuItation, jubilation. Savages paint
themselves red and rejoice at seeing
each other in burning hues. German
women of the early ages daubed
their bodies with brilliant red and
yellow. and considered themselves
beauteously adorned.
On sacred festivals in Rome and
Greece Pliny records red was smear
ed over the statues of Jupiter and
was the color of religious rejoicing.
The human eyes, it is said, can
distinguish 100000 different hues or
colors, and can appreciate and diff
ferentiate twenty shades of each hue
In other words, the eve is capable
Of 10000 color impressions.

The Arkansas Baptist State Conven-
ton is in session in the capital city
this week. This is a state organiZa
ton embracing 500 churches with a
membership of 10000 Delegates are
still pouring in and judging from the
unprecedented number of arrivals pre-
Vious to the opening session, the hopes
of the members for an attendance OF
1000 will be realized. The temper
anee sentiment in the convention is
very strong and it is believed that
one of the first resolutions to be con
sidered after the appointment of com
mittees will be one calling for a con-
stitutional convention for the purpose
of amending the constitution to Sc
cure statewide prohibition. Encour-
aged by the success of the prohibi-
ton adherents in Georgia and Okla
homa, the Arkansas Baptists are con-
fident Of securing the passage OF
prohibtory amendment should a con-
vention be called. Interest also cen
tiers around the probable president or
the convention for the next year Three
men are being prominently mentioned
for the honor. They are General Will
liam E. Atkinson of Little Rock, an
attorney; DR.. J. H. Kitchens of Para
gould, president of the First National
bank of that place, and Judge H. T..
Bradford of Lonoke, former commits
sioner of mines, manufactures and ag-
riculture The present officers are:
John Ayers of FIT. Smith, president;
Rev. w. F. Doris of Hope, and John

lance from the convention.

much reliance on the Canada coast
game, for which last year was so
bad that the Eskimos were half
starved, and had to be fed by the
expedition. In return they acted
as hunters for the expedition, and

Will Not Leave City.

Official denial has been made to
the report sent out from Chattanooga
through the Associated Press that the
Little Rock baseball franchise has
been sold to Chattanooga for $4,000,
The Little Rock franchise will mot be
allowed to leave the city, according
to a statement of baseball officials.
The report is believed TO have origin
ated in the fact that Dallas (TeXas)
broker recently wrote the Little Rock
Baseball Association asking whether
the franchise could be bought. A re-
ply was sent, so the story goes, that
Little Rocks rights could be had for
$4,000, providing the purchasers
would agree not to remove the fran
chise from Little Rock.
