The Hot Springs
 of AYk0nS0s

The legendary history of Hot Springs is as romantic as it's history is interesting since the time tho first white man is known to have visited here. It is believed that these tner- nal springs were tho ones sought for as the Fountain of Perpetual Youth by Ponce de Leon. one of the early Spanish explorers, though in vain. De Soto is given the first credit of discovering Hot Springs and it is quite certain that he and his explor- Ing army spent the winter of 154l-42 here. while directing a search for the fountain of youth as well as for gold. Translated writings of cavaliers, who were with the expedition, mentions discovering hot lakes As there are no hot lakes in this part of America, 1t is certain that this is the place re- ferred to, as up to the time the gov ernment began to make Improvements, the steaming hot water poured down the mountain side, forming large pools or lakes of hot water. The process also formed a deposit called tuba, in- cruising the mountain slope.
 The hot springs were as celebrated among the Indians for curative prop critics as now with civilization They believed the Great Spirit breathed a healing power into the waters, and the savage breast was filled with such sacred awe that in the vallew was inn munity from harm and strife. A great deal of truth is attached to this beautiful tradition, as early French trappers and settlers dwelt here in peace with Indian neighbors.
 The Early Settlers.
 The first person to settle 70 Hot Springs was Manuel Frudhomme, a LouiCiana planter, in 1S07 In 1911 he was joined by John Percival and Isaac Gates. In 1920 Joseph Mellard built double log cabin and this was the first structure that could be termed hotel In 1928 Ludonlcus Belding settled nere, put up the first store and showed great enterprise in build Ing improved cabins. In 1880 Asa Thompson leased the springs and erected the first bath houses.
 The Hot Springs of Today.
 Can truly be called City of Hotels and Bath Houses. No other resort is so well equipped to care fer the sick and afflicted as well as pleasure seekers. Several of IS big hotels are considered among the largest and most palatial in the world, and it's hotel facilities are ample to accommo- date it's yearly increase of visitors.

overnment Ownershin.

ONCiHftCuA OWICf
 The ownership and control of the Hot Springs of Arkansas by the Unit ed States Government is absolute, and its endorsement of them for the treatment of certain ailments is uI- equiyocal.
 After due investigation Congress took possession of the springs in the year 1882, and 1t retained around them a reservation ample to protect there from all encroachments. It was the first national park reservation of the country.
 They are set apart by this act as "A National Sanitarium for all time ? and dedicated to the people of the United States to be observed free from sal or alienation"
 In the year 1904 the State Legisla- ture passed an act granting the gen eral government exclusive jurisdiction and sovereignty over the reservation, since which time the government has made rules and restrictions for hose who dispense the waters an dpractice in connection with the mthat have re- suited in mucn better service to the sick.
 0ONSTnfncnt improvements
 lhe Government scheme of improve ments at Hot Springs has been going on for years.
 The mountain side for a distance several hundred feet has been beauti fully parked and planted to shrubbery and climbing vines and flowers. The Grand and other entrances to the res ervation are works oI great architec- tural beauty.
 The most important improvement to Hot Springs made by the government Is the system of driveways and walks on the three mountains comprising the reservation. They wind around the sides of the mountain by easy grades to the summlts of five or SIX
 ndred feet above the city, disclos- ing at every point some new scene O. beauty among the surroundings peaks and valleys of the Ozark noun tains. There are about fifteen miles of drives and six miles walks.
 The governments interests are look ed after by a superintendent who is appointed by the President.

could be set owing to the lack Of an itemized schedule specifying the class of each business in Montgomery, $6,00o as tax on iiuuor stock IS fair esti- mate. however, s1i.50 to the s1,o0o Is the assessment. which. in view of the se.oo0 collected would place the stock of Montgomery liquor men at about $500. 900. < Thus the license and tax revenues from the iiauor dealers to, the city, oi Montgomery can be placed at s47.e00 < safelv. At least such are the mlnt- mum figures for 1e6s.
 | To stop the leak in the treasury which the withdra wal of the liouoI revenues will bring about, the Council has already busied itself. A general increase in licenses through the new license schedule. the street tax and the dog tax, have become laws through pensating legislation. big piece oi the hole through which the s47000 has fled still is evident. andl the compensa- ton is far from completed.
 To Montgomery County, loss o1 about s2S,500 Is in sight. the effect oi prohibition. Included in license money to the amount of s23. 3.306.25. as was collected last year. and taxes on stock of about $5.00o. During 1907 and again In 1908. the County collected $19,s4O from 22S retail liquor dealers, s2.187.50 from twenty-five wholesale dealers $1.095 for fifty retail beer licenses sS.75 for one wine license; and s75 from three reweries-altogether $23.- 306.25. This. with taxes at the rate oi $t3.00 per $1,000. puts the figures for the County revenue to s2s.500 or even more.
 The County Board of Revenue. un- like the City Council. has taken as yei no steps towards compensating for the decrease. And, in fact. there Is none to be made by the County Board other than an increase in the tax assessment This 1t is practically assured. will come during the spring. when the day of fixing the assessment arrives The road and bridge tax will. In all likelf- hood. be holsted half a mill. and il may be that some other increase will result though no forecast of other raises has been shown.
