given out at the City hospital in an

dition. A cash about one and one-half
inches long was cut in his abdomen,
but the cut did not penetrate further
than the outer wall of the bowels.

Flood Danger Past.

Supt J. A Pitcock of the peniten.
tiary returned Saturday from a trip
to the state farm, which was threat
ened by the Arkansas river flood. Mr..
Pitcock reports that the state farm
levee is out of danger, but states that
seepage has made 1t impossible to
cultivate part of the state farm.
The damage cannot be estimated at
present. The damage from the seep
water will depend largely upon the
length of time that it remains on the
surface of the earth.
Mr.. Pitcock stated that, in his opin-
ion, had it not been for the convicts
at the state farm, the entire district
at that point would have been flooded.
The leyee on the Willie plantation,
just above the state farm, was in such
condition that when the time the wat
er was at its highest stage 1t was
found necessary to send number of
convicts to strengthen it. Had the
levee broken the entire district below
would have been flooded.
Plan to Revoke Lewis License.
Amovement is on foot to revoke the
license of DR.. f. NJ. Lewis, an East
Second street druggist, following his
recent conviction in Police Court on
the charge of selling cocaine without
written prescription. 1t was under
stood Saturday night that Police Judge
E. r. Ratterree would act, and should
he not do so it is authoritatively stat
ed the Arkansas State Board of Phar-
macy will take up the matter of revok-
ing the license.
Application was made to Attorney
General w. F. Kirby for an Official
opinion on the subject. and he held
that either the court or the board
could take action.
The arrest of DR.. Lewis was the first
in a campaign that has been inaugural
ed to stop the sale OF poisonous drugs
to dope fiends" in this city. He was
fined 800 by Police Judge Ratterree.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
convlrt Leasing Condemned, lnitia-
tive and Referendum Favored
Capitol Question Cup to"
Donaehey.

The election Of the four men
as delegates-at-large to the Demo-
cratic national convention, who
were on the so-called slate of the DON
aghey- Pindall organization, and the adj
ministering of a crushing defeat to
Senator Jeff Davis, who was one of
the candidates for position on the
big Four" were the chief features of
the first days session of the Democrat
IL convention, which convened at noon
Tuesday in the Auditorium in Little
Rock.
The convention adopted strong reso-
lutions endorsing William Jennings
Bryan and instructing the delegates
from this state to vote for him as long
as his name is before the convention.
The election of the Big Four was
the big event of the opening days ses-
sion, overshadowing the formal nomi-
nation of the candidates for state Of
fees named in the Democratic pri-
mary of March &c The attempt to
break the slate of the new Donaghey
in the day to prove formidable, proved
fruitless, the convention naming as the
members of the Big Four Senator
James p. Clarke, George w. Donaghey,
Secretary of State Ludwig and James
H. Harrod, the four men credited with
being on the organization slate.
The final vote received by the nine
candidates for legate-at-large, after
a number of counties had made
changes in their vote, was as follows:
Clarke, 40S; Davis, 1856; Berry, 2T9;
Hinemon, 279; Harrod, 329; Donaghey,
3S1; Tompkins, 179; Ludwig, 301;
Breckenridge g.
The vote was not completed until
$50 o'clock and a motion to adjourn
was made and carried Immediately, al
though the order of business adopted
provided that four alternates-at -large
should be selected Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Robinson also discovered that he
had failed TO announce the members
OF the Platform Committee and order
was restored while he announced that

from each congressional and one from

two years has proven such an eff
cient and popular night police officer
and whose resignation from that Of
flee was announced two weeks ago,
will on November 4 assume the du
ties of merchant police.
Officer Halligan, employed by the

Main street business district of the
city. He will keep a watch on all
the business houses and premises be-
tween Third and Sixth street on
Main. and on the alleys on each side
of Main street and between Third

Officer Halligan. being able to de-
vote his entire time to patrol of the

had. 1t is a good and commendable
move on the part of the business men
of Grand Junction.

his city night police position and the

What starts these forest fires?
This question has been asked over
and over again this summer by read
ers of the accounts of the destructive
fires which have been raging in all
parts of the country.
Campers and locomotives. is the
usual answer. Many of the other
things which start blazes in the for
est are forgotten. 1t is true that per-
haps one-half to three-fourths of the
forest fires do begin as result of
the carelessness of some campers, or
from sparks flying from locomotives
but there are number of things
which set the woods a-fire.
A complete report of forest fires
on the private forests of the country
and their causes is not kept by any
one. Uncle Sam, however, is most
careful to account for the damage
done by the blazes pm his timberland
under forest administration, aggre-
eating about 16S,O0O,OOO acres, and
each year the total area burned over,
the timberland burned over. the
amount of timber destroyed and its
value, the cost of fighting fires, and
the causes of fires are carefully
checked up. These reports are made
at the end of the calendar year. and
the announcement of this year. S
losses will therefore not be known
for more than two months.
Last years figures. however, give
a good idea of the things which cause
fires in forests. OF the 1855 fires
discovered on the National forests
last year, all of which were checked
by the rangers before they had
burned over fourteen hundredths of
one per cent 14-10O of per cent?
nf ha National re
caused BAG. while railroads followed
next with 273; lightning came next,
with 176; donkey engines used in
numbering operations, fourth. with
50; careless brush burning by home
steaders clearing land, "a: fires caus-
ed by incendiaries and those set by
herders and hunters so. For more
than 400 OF the fires the cause is not
known. This is not strange when ii
is remembered that fire may
shoulder for days, if the air is too
thick to permit the smoke to be seen
at a distance before IL breaks out
when famed by a wind so as to reveal
it's presence to the watchful forest
officer.
While campers caused more fires
than locomotives last year there are
many seasons when the railroads hold
undisputed claim to first place For
est fires started by both are mostly
unnecessary. If campers would eX-
ercise care in starting camp fires and
be sure that they are eXtinguished be-
fore they are left. and ii the railroad
companies would use the most mod
ern and efficient spark arresters, il
is reasonable to think that the annual
forest fire loss could be reduced
more than one-half Lightning ranks
third among the causes of fires, and
of course, man has no greater respon-
sibility in this case than to put the
fire out as soon as possible after dis
covery. Careless brush burning by
homesteaders and persons clearing
land is said to be the cause of many

FOUL LIES ARE CIRCULATED.

The Morning Yellow of this city,
in common with many other Repub-
iican and Guggenheim sheets over the
state, is now receiving daily a lot of
vile, lying and rotten alleged tele.
graphic news from Denver concern
ing the political situation. The dec
laration that the election of Bryan
means the rum of the Hign Line
canal, that Charles j. Hughes is at
tempting To buy the senatorship, that
John Shafroth is dishonest and un-
reliable, sent out under Denver date
lines. are few of the stories that
are being sent out in dispatch form
from the Republican State Lie Fac
tory in Denver. The Morning Yellow
is setting the canards out on their
front page each day and expecting
the people to accept them as reliable
and regular telegraphic matter.
The dastardly attempts now being
made to misrepresent the state and
national tickets to the people of Colo
RADIO, by the Republican managers,
shows how desperate that crowd is
getting. However, all of their lies
cannot keep Bryan and Shafroth from

HOW THE GREAT
FIRES START UP

of the fires which have started this
year particularly those which have
swept over the Lake states.
The ranger force on many OF the
National forests have been kept busy
fighting fires. which, if left to run
unchecked, wou.L have done incalcul-
able damage. By quickening com
munication between important points
through the construction of tele-
phone lines. and building roads and
trails, the National forests have been
made more accessible during the past
two years and fire fighting has been
greatly facilitated.
