CONDITION UNPRECEDENTED

London. April 5.-Great Britain to-
night IS in a peculiar position, being
without a premier or ministry. The
long expected resignation of Sir
Henry pbell-Bannerman, prime
minister, was officially announced, Ac
eording to the court circular he re
signed on the urgent recommendation
Of his medical advisors. As the con
stituti n of the country provides no
automatic successor it is resting with
the king to choose a new head OF the
government and IN accordance with
custom and precedent, the whole cab
met resigns with the premier. no
step can be taken to appoint a minis
try until Herby NJ Asquith, chancel
Tor of exchequer, who has been sum
moned 10 Biarritz 70 rthe purpose has
seen the king.
The position Of the country Is quite
unprecedented there being no pre-
viouy example Of a change occurring
in premiership while the sovereign
was abroad. On this account the
course of procedure to be followed is
in some doubt.

In many localities down state the

GREAT INTEREST
IS IN PACIFIC
EVANS SAYS UNITED STATES
SHOULD LOOK AS MUCH TO
PACIFIC AS TO ATLANTIC.
ROAD To THE FAR EAST
Should Be Protected With Our Ships
So Brains and Dollars Can Ac-
complish ommercial De-
Velopment.

San Francisco, April Admiral
Evans IN an interview today said:
The greater interes; of the United
States today Is in the Pacifs. The
coming of the fleet to the coast has
mot only demonstrated to the world
that we have sixteen battleships that
can be brought together for a long
cruise at moments uptice, but il
has called the attention of the peo-
pie of the overgrown country to the
well as an Atlantic and that ii will
be defended just as much as every
inch of land around New York and
that our interests In the Pacitis are
today greater than in the Atlantic.
"This is a short road to the eoun-
tiles of the Far East. where greater
commercial development is to he.
With the development will come war,
fought with brains and dollars and
not with ten-inch guns. 1t will be
aud part of the navy is always ready
I'VE do not plan nor fight CONNER
cial battles.
'"rhe coming of the fleet was most
opportunely timed by the President
and its arrival In the Pacific has re-
suited IN the present assurance Of
peace. Not that | ever believed that
there was any actual danger of war.
The people of both countries realized
100 well what dreadful calamity such
A war would have been If the navy
should ever be called upon to fight
In the settlement of our interests In
the Pacific it would stop with its guns
the commercial development for
which the leaders OF industry are bat
Ting with brains and dollars.
when the fleet sailed through the
straits of Mangellan to the Pacitis the
ships were in better condition and
better prepared for action than when
we sailed That was proven by the
target practice at Magdelena bay and
the records of that practice, which are
most satisfactory, will show It.
San Diego Prepares.

ing of the Pacific fleet less than ten

The Illness Of Admiral Evans is n
source of deep regret all along the
coast. He has figured above every
thing else in the reception plans, The
committees are going ahead with the
idea that he will be able to be with

A Limited Dollar Wage.

Cotton pickers are receiving $1 per 100 pounds in the vicinity of England, Lonoke county, according to Postmas- ter Schooley of that place, but It IS only in the lowlands northeast of Eng land. where it is necessary to gather the crop at once lest heavy rains should come and inundate the fields The cotton, too, MT. Schooley says is of rather poor grade and a picker cannot gather as many pounds as Tn a first-class crop.
 The tempting price is having it's effect on the negroes, and the other plantation owners of that district ma it necessary to raise their price III order to secure help. As high as So cents is being offered on plantations where the growth is heavy and easy to nick. but in all other portions ol the county and in Pulaski, 50 cents remains the ruling rate.

 Arbitration worked in Memphis, and Manager Bragg believes that It Will in Little Rock At all events, all legal action against the roads will be dropped until the results of the conference are shown.

Only Frost at Bentonville.

AS result of the cool wave. the only heavy frost occurring in Ar kansas. according to Weather Bureau reports. was at Bentonville on Mon- day and Tuesday mornings. The frost at that station was heavy, but was not killing one Cotton planters said Tuesday the cotton had received a chill that will doubtless affect It some. but as far as is known no meas. ureable damage resulted.
 H. F. Alciatore, section director, explained the cool wave was an "or- thodox" one from weather mans standpoint. When the area of high pressure appeared in the northwest there was an area of low pressure south and east. This permitted the high. with it's attendant cold, to swing to the south and east with rapidity. Similar conditions in winter result in cold waves throughout the country.
 Tuesday morning the wave had crossed the Mississippi river, and At lanta. Ga. Chattanooga, Tenn, Jack sonville, Fla, Mobile, Ala, Montgom- cry.

NAME WAS A COMPROMISE
Explanation of Remarkable Cogno
 men Of Nevada Town.

A Nevada man having extensive mining claims in the goldheld region tells of lucky strike that was made last year near Carson City, strike that proved to be of such promise that a goodly sized camp immediately sprang up around it.
 The two principal mine owners were, respectively, an Irishman and a Jew, and as q compliment 10 these leading citizens the camp decided to leave to them the bestowal of a suit able name upon the new community.
 There followed many conferences between the two, none of which result ed in an agreement. The Irishman stood out for a name that would sug gest his native isle while the Jew was just as insistent, on his part, for a name that should be suggestive of the chosen people. This deadlock con tinued so long That the rest of the camp grew restless, and finally insist ed that there should be a compromise. So the now camp was called "Tipperu salem. ."-Lippincott's.

The picture shows the feed box on the tongue, where it was placed when the oxen were feeding. While on the journey the feed box was bolted to the rear end. There were two "booms," across which can vas was fastened to protect the fam fly.
 To draw this ponderous vehicle from Kentucky to Missouri Mir. McCanne used two yoke of oxen and span of horses The wagon had a capacity of six tons of freight.

It has been estimated that were a llOutIH MdSOl idtlbIy SiN'u tilt Noii- tract to duplicate the Virginia Trail er," using only hammered iron, and making mortises instead of holes, it would cost nearly $l000. The ancient vehicle was constructed with thought full care for every emergency. The hubs for the rear wheels are nearly as large as beer kegs, being 20 inches in length and ten inches in diameter. The bed is 16 feet from end to end.
