MUST LOSE TREES
unl sIsIa People Must Saiisr
 For Street WldsBIps.

Just as was expected, property owners in Mill Plain object to the re- moval of some of the handsome shade trees in the neighborhood of the church and school. It is Q pity that 90 many handsome trees have to come down in the widening of streets, but there is no remedy, for once . narrow country road is widened to a width of fifty or sixty feet the new line invariably takes trees that in many instances have been the pride and boast not only of their owners but also of everybody in the neigh borhood. Mill Plain has lot of de- lightful trees skifting It's highways, but every one of them will soon be but memory. The same thing has happened in other places and the residents of the Plains will have to take their medicine whether they like 1t or not. Some of the trees may be spared for & time, but in the end as many of them as arc inside the street lines will have to be removed.

FIGHT OVER SIGN.
Prohibitionists Steal March on a
 SalOOnkeeper.

Prohibitionists Steal a March on Q
 Saloonkeeper.
 Winsted, Sept 23.--The fight over , the license question which has been waged here with more vigor than ever before during the past few weeks, was marked yesterday by sensational developments that have caused considerable excitement. AL though the exciting incident has to do largely with large sign erected by the no-license advocates on the west side of the building owned by Thomas Finn of Derby, and occupied by a grocery store owned by Attor- ney James P. Shelley, lessee and agent for MT Finn, 1t is really the outcome of a movement made sever al days ago when signs advocating the no-license cause were placed on poles of the Southern New England Telephone company about the bor- ough. The signs were erected dur ing the night and the next morning the saloon keepers and their friends were aroused over the action of the telephone company in allowing their poles to be used. Complaints were made and in one instance sign placed directly in front of saloon door was removed.
 Yesterday a sign about 12 by 5 feet, reading, Saloons Cannot Run Without Boys. Have You One te' Spare? Think It Over" was placed beside the Finn building and imme- diately the fun began. MT Finn. who Is himself engaged in the liquor business, was advised of the situa- tion and sent his son, E. J. Finn, a Yale student, to Winsted to have the sign removed. Young MT Finn im- mediately upon his arrival here sought the heads of the no-license movement and informed them thas if the sign was not removed by l o'clock he would have 1t removed to the dump. When about ? o'clock, however, he attempted to move 1t he was informed by Officer Josiah Spear that he had no more right to touch the sign than any other per- son and he was advised to keep hts hands oil. It then developed that the no-license committee had leased the ground from Mir Shelley as MT Finn's legal representative. The news of the contemplated removal had spread rapidly and there was large crowd on hand to witness the act but they were disappointed.
 Not to be frustrated, however, MI Finn sought Attorneys Blodget and Higgins, had MT Shelley removed as agent for his father, and himself ap- pointed and he again ordered the removal of the sign. The no-license advocates still refused, however. At torney Manchester maintaining that the change of representatives did not vacate the lease. Officer Spear was kept on duty beside the sign throughout the remainder of the day and at last accounts the sign was still in It's place. Large crowds congregated. in the vicinity all the afternoon in anticipation of strug- gle but the presence of the officer seemed to have the desired effect.
 Another incident that is causing much talk Is the painting of the words "Vote License No" on the rear of Carroll & Relihan's came during the night. The painting was done in green and the painter stood on ladder which rested in Mad river.

Road Tax Law Valid.

Attorney General w. F. Kirby ha5 rendered an opinion that the act of the recent legislature requiring coun- ty collectors to turn over one-half Of the road tax collected in towns Of four counties of the state to the cities, not specifying whether that money should be used by the town for road improvement work, was constitutional and valid. The question that the law was invalid was raised on the ground that the act does not specify that the money turned over to the town shall be used for street and road improve ment work. Mir. Kirby says that the constitution requires that money col lected as road tax must be expended for road and special improvement only and that, as the special act is silent regarding the disposal of the money, 1t must be held that the legislature in- tended to follow the constitution.

Finds Himself in Oklahoma.

After having travelled hundreds of miles, as relatives believe, without knowledge of his whereabouts, H. s. Kissinger, 1907 West Tenth street, who mysteriously disappeared Tuesday morning, notified those at his home here Thursday that he was in Okla homa City He will return to Little Rock at once.
 Kissinger has, it is said, several times made journeys of this kind, as the result of the peculiar effect of hot weather on him. Those who observe him, it is said, would notice nothing unusual in his appearance to betray an abnormal mental condition, but it is asserted afterward, when he recovers, he has no recollection of places visit ed or people seen during these aberra- tions The time is blank. The state usually lasts only a short time, when he again becomes normal.

Kirby Wants Rehearing.

Attorney General w. F. Kirby has announced that he would file a mo- ton with the Supreme Court for a new hearing in the London and Lan- cashire Insurance Company case, in which the Supreme Court held that a foreign corporation entering the state could be taxed only on the amount of its subscribed stock. MT. Kirby be- lieves that the company should pay on the amount of it's authorized capital stock. Under the law a company may enter the state and pay the tax on the amount of subscribed stock, Mr. Kirby believes that the company should pay on the amount of it's au- thorized capital stock. Under the law a company may enter the state and pay the tax on the amount of sub- scribed stock, which may be very small, and then. after entering the state, increase it's subscribed stock and not be compelled to pay tax on the increase.

State Capital Notes
Cotton on State Farm is Damaged

Cotton on State Farm is Damaged.
 One thousand acres of land planted in cotton at the state farm has been so affected by seepage from the food ed river that the crop on that tract has been ruined, according to state ments made by Superintendent J. A. Pitcock of the penitentiary, who has just returned from the state farm. Three thousand acres at the state farm had been planted in cotton, but Mir Pitcock says a crop will not be secured from only 2,000 acres, and possibly not from that much if further damage is done.
 The soil becomes saturated with water which seeps up through the earth and rests on the surface, cover. ing a large area. It is impossible to drain seepage from the land.
 The running of the crop means loss of thousands of dollars to the state. The last crop sold for more than $60,- 900, and the acreage was considerably less than that planted this year.

Governor Pindall explained his failure to see Mrs. Williams Wednesday, in the treasurer's office, by saying he would entertain petitions for pardon in his office but he did not think he was call. ed upon to go out of his office to seek pathetic scenes. He stated the mes. sages received were to the effect that Moore had committed crime.
