TIE Government Report to Decide.

Vegetable Gamers temporarily scored
a vic DRY in the federal court over the
state dairy and food commissioner, j. q,
Emery, who sought to enforce ruling
of his own that the use OF beuZoate OF
soda in the preserving OF tomatoes and
other vegetables ives unlawful, being, he
declared, the use of a deleterious sub
stance in' food product The ruling OF
the state commissioner was promulgated
to take effect on the first of December
He was argued with by representatives
of the Gamers who informed him that
the federal government required that in
the canning of vegetables for use ia the
army and navy benzoate of soda must be
used, and that il it is used in vegetables
for the army and navy and sanctioned
under the federal pure food laws, it
ought not to be forbidden by an individ-
ual state by a rule promulgated by e de-
partment official and not forbidden by
statute. However, the commissioner
maintained that the use ia food products
of any substance deleterious to health
way unlawful, and that benzoate of soda
was deleterious substance. The can
ners thereupon secured attorneys and
applied to Judge A. u. Sanborn in the
United States district court for an in
junction restraining the commissioner
from prosecuting under his ruling.
Judge Sanborn held conference of the
parties in interest and advised them that
he was disposed to issue the Injunction
prayed for. Thereupon the commits
sioner decided to withhold his ruling for
time, until more expert and scientific
information could be secured to deter
mine the question of whether or not
benzoate of soda is deleterious to health
when used in the process of canning
vegetables.

ARKANSAS FOR ARKANSANS
Forest Supervisor Record Insists That Local Men Shall Hold Positions
 in His Department.

Arrangements are being per- fected for the transfer of Samuel K. Lemiug who is now steno. grapher to tue Superintendent of Indian Schools at Washington D. O., to the office of Forest Supervisor Record at Fort Smith
 MT. Leming was assistant postmaster at Waldron for three years, and railway postal clerk in and about Fort Smith for a year and half, He was admitted to the practice of law there and followed that profession for some time. Later he secured the DO. sition of assistant clerk at the Seneca Indian School at Wyan- dotte, Ok. He should prove of very great service in the admins. tration of the National Forests  here.
 This is in keeping with Mir, Records policy of appointing only residents of Arkansas foi positions in this state. The efforts of many influential people outside, including some of his best friends, have been unavail' ing in securing positions which could be as well filled by local residents. Arkansas for Ar kansas" is his motto. The ere ation of the National Forests will preserve the timber and land fol the people who should have i,-- the people of Arkansas and tneil descendants.

PROTECT FARMERS
 FROM YARMINTS
Government Will, if Necessary to Pro- tect Stock, Employ Professional Hunters and Trappers in the
 National Forests Here.

One of the objections made by farmers against the creation of the National Forests in Arkansas and the prevention of fires is the danger to their stock from var hints and predatory animals. There are a great many wolves some bear, wildcats and partners n the mountains and the annual toll in slain sheep, goats, hogs, and calves will reach an enormous figure. You can ride through al- most any part of the forest where settlements are few and hear the bowling of wolves and at night 1t is very common to hear the screech or panther. The situ- ation is too serious to be over looked and Forest Supervisor Record has sent out a circular letter to his field force asking for a full report of conditions.
 If it is found that conditions warrant it, he will recommend that a professional hunter and trapper be employed to destroy these animals. The government furnishes ammunition, poisons, baits, and traps for such work, and in addition to his salary the hunter will receive bounties for all wolf scalps. One skilled hunter can so reduce the number of wild animals that the loss from that source becomes very small. He locates their dens and sets his traps or leaves poisoned carcrss nearby. He can frequent ly locate a den by the peculiar wolf odor and find therein litter of pups which are soon dispatched with a club. Every wolf killed means a saving of $50 worth of livestock.

Four men claiming to be coal miners, two of whom blew in from Fort Smith and the other two from Texarkana, started a trough house" down in the yards Thursday afternoon by breaking out the lights in several windows of a caboose and chasing one of the employees with rocks.
 A riot call was turned in aud Deputy Sheriff D. E. Joplin and Deputy City Marshal Jesse Poil- pot went down and placed two of the men under arrest, the other two made their escape. They were later arrested at Rust, where they had been followed by Deputy Sheriff John Bfatcher and Deputy Marshal PhiIpot on horses.
 All four of the men were placed in the county jail where they are being held awaiting the action ol the railroad officials as to wheth CT charges would be preferred against the men.

 Rhotou is in Washington and gives out a most sensational interview to the press of Wash ington, embodyiug these charges and elaborating on them greatly to Dayis' disadvantage. These charges are not new in Arkansas but given publicity in Washing ton will do much to clip ths wings of the junior senator from Arkansas.

BANK LAW UPHELD
Oklahoma Deposit Guarantee Statute Withstands Test in Court
 Injunction is Denied.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 1o.-Judge A. H. Houston, in the district court here this morning, sustain ed the demurrer filed by the attorney general iu the injunction suit brought by the Noble State bank against the state banking board, regarding the collection of bank tax, on the ground that there was not sufficient facts in the petition to constitute cause of action.
 This is the first test of the Oklahoma guarantee deposit law.
 In passing on the case Judge Houston states that, under the police powers of the state, given by the act, defendants have the power to collect a tax as banks that are allowed to do business in the state are corporations and that they are as much accounta- ble to the legislature as any other corporation which serves the public.
