Increased Assessment.

The school tax in Arkansas for the year 9Oz. under the increased assessment of 5 mills, will amount to something more than one mill ion dollars. It has heretofore been in the neighborhood of $7OO.OOO. The Confederate pension fund was also increased one-half mill and will now amount to some $4OO.- 900, instead of little less than $5OO,OOO as heretofore. With this increased school fund and the increased district tax voted in a large majority of districts through out the state, Arkansas will take her place as one of the most pro- gressive of all the southern states in educational advancement. There could no surer indication of our future progress than this ad- vanced step for education.-Ouachi- ta Herald.

For time he was also en- gagged in the mercantile business with c. B. Wood. He was a courteous. honorable Christian young man and held in the highest esteem and respect by all who knew him.
 In December, 1906. he was married to Miss Clemmie Garter. daughter of Mir and Mrs. R. T. Garter. of New London, and their short married life had been one of peace and happiness.

SAFE BLOWERS AT FOLDING.
Rob Safe of Harrison, Tucker ( Co.,, and Sc.
 cure $i5O.O0.

The store of Harrison, Tucker & Co.,, general merchants. at Bedding five miles west of this place on the E. & B. railroad. was entered last Friday night and the safe blown open and completely footed. At least $l5O in currency was se- cured. The safe and surrounding stock and fixtures were damaged to the extent of probably $500 more. There is no nositive clue to the perpetrators, but party of six or seven Wel)-dressed strangers. evidently not of the common tramp variety. were noticed cooking their dinner out in the woods only a short distance from the town. There is some reason for suspect ing that this was the party of crooks that did the work. They scattered apparently, and have not been seen since in that vicinity.
 The work was done in a manner that stamps it as a job of expert
 yeggmen.' Nitro-glycerin was probably used, as particles of soap were blown all oyer the office The safe door was blown outward from it's hinges. and each drawer was found afterward, rif1ed of it's contents, near the railroad track, several hundred yards distant. Sacks of salt and clothing from the stock of merchandise had been piled around and over the safe to deaden the sound of the ex- plosion. People living near by heard the noise, but, hearing no further disturbance. concluded it was some noisy night reveler ex- ploding a cannon cracker. Hence the robbery was not discovered until the arrival of the proprietors next morning.
 Only currency from the store funds was taken. A number of cashiers checks were not touched: nor was the postoffiee money or stamps in the same building mo- tested. although easily accessible
 Similar rob oeries have been per petrated at Marion, Randolph and Lala, other near by towns in north Louisiana, in which the sums taken were even larger than here. It is presumed that all the johs were the work of the same gang.

lion. s. C. Baskin for Senator
The News this week announe

E The News this week announce: Hon. s. c. Baskin, better knowr to all as Uncle Sam as a. candi- date for State Senator from this the Eighteenth Senatorial district He is an old confederate soldier who did viliant service in the civil war for his county: has served sev- eral terms in the lower house of the general assembly thereby fitting himself for the position to which he now aspires and has record in public life which is an open book and which he invites every voter to investigate.
 MT. 9askin favors giving the railroad commission full power to regulate passenger and freight rates and to compel the railroads to give the travelling public the necessary accommodations and connections.
 He is in favor of the convicts all being kept on the state farm and what cannot be worked there be utilized in the manufacture of such goods as are controlled by trusts and sold to the public at too great a profit.
 He favors compulsory school law and the state furnishing uni form text books at cost to those who are able to- purchase them and free to those children whose parents are too poor.
 He also favors a stock law for Union county if the people of the county want it.
 Regarding the Eastern District, Mir. Baskin wants to leave the question to the voters to be de- oided at the general election whether or not they want it so the matter will be forever settled which will be a good thing for the political life of the county.
 He is so we'll known to most of the voters of the county that it is unnecessary to say much about him, but to the new corners we will say that if you vote for him you vote for honest, capable gentle man who is qualified to fill the po- sition with credit to the district and it's enti e citizenship.

NEW RED BUTTE
DISTRICT

Dan LeBarron of Jackson Mountain
arrived in town Thursday of last week
aud returned to his home Sunday.
Mr. LeBarron claims the honor of
being the original diseoverer of the
Red Butte mineral belt, having locat-
I'd the first claims in the districr in
February, 1907.
In conversation with a representa-
tive of the Silver State News regard
ing the prospects of the new mining
district Mr. LeBarron said:
"In my judgment the Red Butte
mining district is destined to become
one of the greatest mineral producers
in the world. / located the first
claims there in the early part of last
year, but today every foot of groun
in a territory six miles square has been
taken up. There has been very little
prospecting doae as yet but there have
been great strong ledges uncovered and
when thoroughly exploited there will
be found practically every known nj n
eral
- Assays made show some wonderful
values, but as these stories are only
hearsay, / will not repeat them, but
will only speak of my own. Various
assays that / have had made from oles
taken from my claims show gold a'
ues OF from IS to $25, from to 50
ounces of silver, and from to 30 per
cent in copper
A Salt Lake man by the name OF
of knight has ledge of high graee
antimony, which will run from so to
20 per cent.
''There is a postotfice in the dist.
called Bonita Springs, situated about
forty-tive miles northerly from Hum
boldt House, from which point a stage
coach makes two round trips week.
"Bonita Springs is uidistant from
Winnemucca, lying but forty-fve miles
westerly of town, and there should be
a stage service inaugurated from this
point, which will eventually be the
distributing center for the new dis
trict.'
