Returns From The West

j. ID. Paulson, who went out to
Ely, New, II week or ten days ago,
returned Sunday. He reports
business as very lively in that dis
trict. He says they have a re-
markable copper ore body at that
place, it being IA miles in length
and it has been found to extend
to a depth of 600 feet, but how
much deeper is not known. The
ore is mined with a stea m shovel,
but it is low grade, only running
81 or So per ton.

Public School Matters

Miss Agnes Miller, from Kinks
vile, Mo, a graduate of the State
Normal at that place, arrived
here last Thursday and assumed
the duties of teacher in the Inter-
mediate room. The time during
the departure of Miss McCandless
and the arrival of Miss Miller,
Mrs. E. W. Devine, who formerly
followed teaching, very kindly
lent her services to the Board, and
the help was very much a~ppreciat-
ed.
Miss Miller has had three years
experience in teaching and comes
we'll recommended. She seems
an earnest, thorough going teach
or and takes hold of the work in
a most encouraging manner.
The board of trustees, have de-
decided to only have one weeks
vacation during the Christmas
holidays. The school will close
on December Oath and remain
closed until January 4th This
will give a vacation Of one week
and a day. The children are do
ing remarkably good work at this
time and the board feels and the
teachers believe that there ought
not to be too much of a vacation
in order that the pupils may not
lose interest in their studies.
The board have called for bids
for the construction of a walk
from the street crossing to the.
platform in front of the schoo
building. The town council at
the request of the board, will put
in a street crossing opposite the
school building. This crossing
and sidewalk will be a great con.
venience to the school children in
muddy or snowy weather and
really should have been put in at
the beginning of the term.

How About This

Rebates to the amount Of $751;
$50 in valuation have been made
by the county commissioners, this
being the first meeting of the
board since the completion of the
tax lists. The rebates are the re-
suits of erroneous and double as
sessments turned in by the in.
dustrious Mr.. Wright, who, it has
been claimed by some, was about
the only real accurate, fair and
just assessor the county has ever
had, but who in fact has made
more errors than perhaps all the
Others put together. And the
funny thing is that the mistake
almost invariably was made in fs-
vor of a higher county valuation,
no doubt for the purpose of pref
udicing voters against former adj
ministrations. But it all comes
out in the much talked of increase
in tax valuation has faded into q
myth that had no real foundation
in the first place.-Rawlins Re.

Considerable Improvement
has been made at the bath house

ity to have a pleasant place to cool
Oft in before leaving the building.

Last week while some of the
miners were coming down from
the Ferris aggarty mine, one of
them by the name of F. Colona,
became fatigued and fingered be-
hind. The rest of the party con-
tinued their trip thinking he
would find his way alright. They
arrived in Encampment the next
day after having endured a very
hard journey. After waiting two
days Colona did not made his ap-
pearance, then a searching party
went out to see if they could find
MIN. The party was composed OF
j. B. Bariani, Hank Schenck, H.
J. Renner and others. They could
find no trace of the missing man
and returned. Since then it has
been reported that a man who had
lost his way had stopped at the
Mowry ranch On Spring creek
several days ago inquiring the
way to Encampment. The de
scription answers exactly that Of
Colona, but as yet he has no,
reached Encampment.-Encamp

Conservation Conference

here on the eighth, when the Ma.
tional Conservation Commission
with the assistance of the Govern.
ors of the States and it's other CO.
operators will get under way the
most important part of its work 80
far, the report to the President,
due the first of the year. These
two leaders in the industrial world
were prominent figures in the
Conference of Governors at the
White house last May, which was
the immediate cause of the e
ton of the National Conservation
Commission. The iron masters
speech at that time on the mineral
resources of the country was the
first on the three days program
after President Roosevelt's OPEN
ing speech and the railroad organ
izer began the second days session
with a discussion of the land re-
sources of the United States,
which has been more quoted than
perhaps any other single address
at that Conference. When the
National Conservation Commits.
sion was formed both were made
members.
The participation of these two
hard headed and practical men in
the coming Conference will be of
even greater value than it was at
the White House session because
the time has come now for the
preparation of a definite and work
able program of action to meet the
situation that was partially dis
closed at the White House meet
ing and has been made more clear
by the researches of the National
Conservation Commission since
then.
The attendance of the joint
Conservation Conference will be
composed of men who have been
active participants in the work for
conservation since the White
House Conference. About half
the Governors have definitely said
that they will be present and the
others will send representatives
of their states. These Governors
or their representatives will be &C
companied by the members of the
State Conservation Commissions
which have been named during
he summer and fall. In addition
10 these there will be present the
bpecial Conservation Committees
which have been formed by TWEEN
ty-6ve or more National organiza-
lions.
The session on the morning of
the eighth will be a % or less

Room of the Willard Hotel for the

rill be among the speakers who
will address the members of the
joint Conservation Conference, the
Rivers and Harbors Congress, the

objects whose sessions in Wash

make up what has been called

LAME EVERY
 MORNING
A Had Back Is Always Worse in the Morning-Pine Bluff People Arc
 Finding Relief.

A back that aches all day and causes discomfort at night is usually worse in the morning. Makes you feel as if you hadn't slept at all. Cant cure bad back until you cure the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys--make you feel bet ter, work better, rest better and sleep better.
 Permanent cures in Pine Bluff prove the merit of Doan's.
 D. c. Riden, 101l East Seventh street, Pine Bluff, Ark. says. About ten years ago I began to suffer from kidney trouble. l would get up in the morning so lame and stiff, after pass ing restless night, that could hard ly stoop. Although the kidney secre- tions were far too frequent in ac' tion, the passages were scant and burned terribly. I tried several so- called kidney cures. but none of them helped me. About two months ago l read in the paper of Doan's Kidney
  Pills and as they were highly endorsed by the people of Pine Bluff. made ur my mind to try them. I porcured g box from the Mann Tankersley Drue Co. and the affects of their use was wonderful. I am still using the rem edy and improving every day. I fee sure that by the time I have taken thf contents of another box of poan's Kidney Pills, will be entirely cured l would not take five hundred dollars for the vast benefit I h; ye already received"

PIONEER SALESMEN
 HOLD A REUNION
Are Elaborately Entertained by MT. and Mrs. W. F. Martin at F0rdyce--- All of Them Have Passed Half Cen. tury Mark-Organize New Associa. tiOn.

A novel gathering of veteran trav- cling men, every one of them past the half-century mark, took place recent ly at Martins Hotel, Fordyce, when MT. and Mrs. w. F. Martin had an even dozen of the oldest commer- tial travellers as their guests at an elaborate dinner. Not one of the men at the table has seen less than twenty-five years continuous service in Arkansas as a commercial travel CT. IA feature of the gathering was the frevival of many incidents in which the twelve men figured in early days and old memories were recalled and friendship strengthened. As guests of honor, in addition to the twelve statesmen, were c. M. Hamp- ton and A. B. Banks, two capitalists of Dallas county, Arkansas.
 During the dinner it was suggest ed that the "old comrades" form a permanent organization. w. r. Mar tin was elected president, and A. B. Barton, secretary and treasurer. The new organization will be known as "The Veteran Commercial Travellers of Arkansas. "Only those present at the dinner arc eligible to membership and those who were absent, but were unable to be present at the gathering X handsome watch charm, with an appropriation inscription, is to De furnished by the new organization, and is to be worn by the oldest tray cling man. in point of service. At his death the charm is to pass down to the next oldest i'll point of serv- ice and so on. The last man wearing the charm, shall, at his death, pre- sent it to member of his family-a son, if he be a travelling salesman The object of the association is to promote social enjoyment among the members in their old age and the cementing of years of friendship. ti NJ. Hampton and A. B. Banks were elected honorary members. Mir. Banks presented the old Travellers with ; handsome gold watch, to be worr with the charm.
 l w. r. Martin, who was for years a travelling salesman, is the origina' tor of the idea to organize the new association. He and his wife enter tained their guests ill elaborate style The following veteran salesmel were among the guests and their stat of nativity. age and year they com menced to travel and years of con tinuous service on the road are a. follows:

lie is reported that when Mr.. Taft
launches on his speaking tour he will
be challenged by Mr.. Bryan for de-
bate on the issues of the campaign. 1t
is not at all probable that Mr.. Taft
would accept such challenge. for he
knows fullwell what his lot would be at
the hand of the Nebraskan-one an old
hand at the game; the other scarcely
little more than an amateur. A
broadside of facts on present issues
from the eloquent tongue of the Demo-
cratic nominee would make Mr.. Taft a
subject OF much lidicule and might in
crease the antipathy of the American
people for Republicanism.
