| the ely of Mena 10 make law. ful deed conveying Stilwell Park to the Kansas City Southern Railway Employees Hospital As sociation seems at last to De de6- uitely settled-and in the affirma- tive, as 1t IS not probable that there will be further objections from the head of the legal de- partment of the Kansas City Southern railroad.
 On July Is The Star printed a letter from Read & McDonough, the law firm representing the Kansas City Southern in Arkau- sas, saying that they had decid- ed, after reviewing brief setting out the facts and citing authori- ties furnished them by Hal l.. Norwood, in behalf of Meua, that the city could give clear title to the property, and had so ad- vised the head of the legal de- partment of the railroad. At that time the architects had the plans iu hand and were under in- structions to push the work, with the intent of beginning construc ton by September Is.
 The arguments presented by MT. Norwood were surprise, it appears, to the head of the legal department, being different from those expected, and the matter was referred to Read & McDon- ough for further investigation, the work of the architects, in the meantime, belng held up.
 From time to time questions pertaining to this matter have been referred to certain citizens of Mena, and in each instance necessary action taken, Mir. Nor wood on all occasions devotiug his legal talents and time to straightening out the problems that arose.
 Through it all T. J. Clayton and John Mccormack, members of the board of directors of the hospital association, have put forth every effort to push the movement and assist Mena in every way possible.
 The following letters result from the negotiations above men, toned, and will go far toward explaining the present situation:
 Mena, Ark, Sept. 5, 1907. Messrs. Read X McDonough,
 Fort Smith, Ark. Gentlemen
 On July 18th, you wrote me let ter m which you stated:
 Under the authorities which you have cited, and others which we have examined, we are of the opin- ion that the Hospital Association can accept the property. We have so advised" !"
 Upon the receipt of this letter l thought that the question of title to Stilwell Park was settled, and that matter in no way stood in the way of the association building the hos pital upon that property, and was surprised, when, on August 10, MT. Mccormack, member of the hos pital board, showed me letter from MT. Wood to MT Coughlin, from which it appeared that the legal de- partment had not at that time ap- proved the title.
 told MT. Mccormack was con fident there was some mistake about it and showed him your letter to me, of July 13, in which you stated that you had approved the title.
 MT. Mccormack wrote you and le-- quested you to mail me copy of your reply to his letter. l never

Lightning Flashes.

Lightning flashes in a storm are
found by an English observer TO be
much less irregular In period than they
appear. Such storms have usually two
foci, sometimes three, from which the
flashes radlate, and the discharges from
each come at regular intervals The
apparent irregularlty is due to the
varying rates of the different centers.
In one storm noticed the two foci were
about a mile and a half apart, and in
an hour the northern center emitted
thirty flashes at intervals Of fifteen.
thirty, forty-fve, sixty and ninety sec
onds, and the southern center gave six
teen flashes at intervals of seventeen.
thirty-four and ffty-one seconds An
other unexplained observation is that
just before each great fash there is
a momentary faint lighting up Of the
sky In the stormy region.

Minneapolis owns most 1t is a ques-
ton of which Is entitled to the title OF
Largest" owner In the world
When the vast woods of Minnesota
and Wisconsin began to disappear Mr..
Smith led the way to the wooded slopes
OF the Pacific, where he now owns more
millions of standing trees than his mills
can convert into lumber during his life
time. And he is well aware of this
fact. He admits it, and is buying more
every week, almost every nour. He de-
clares he will never sell single acre
of timber land. His aim is to secure
enough standing timber so that his sons
and their sons and grandsons may
make planks and shingles from the
family forests long after the rest of the
North American continent has been de
nuded.
In 1873 Mr. Smith married Johanna
Anderson, whose parents came from
Wermeland, Sweden. They have five
children.

SO he became Smith. Soon he was good
enough TO drive the coach. He went to
school a little, and then entered Pills
bury's hardware store. Finally Smith
went into the store business himself
with Pillsbury as his partner. 1t was
at Herman, Mimi, ana they sold grain,
lumber and farm implements. Every
year the young man was gaining bust
ness wisdom, putting more money away,
and becoming Americanlzed.
In few years the country store was
too smaft for --AAlls-aetiyIties. He went
back to Minneapolis, and the first Of

to cut logs IN 1884 The business grew,
and the mills with 1t. until they soon
were the largest in the world. In 1899
