RIVER ROAD
COMPROMISED
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

By agreement between all par
ties concerned the controversy over
the location of the public road
along the river front in this county
has been amicably settled, and the
road will remain at its present To-
cation close to the river bank.
The high water last month caused
the road to cave into the river in
several places, and County Judge
J.. A. Lea ordered a road 'es-
tablished on the inside of the
levee, fixing the compensation to
the property owners affected at the
same rate at which their land was
assessed on the tax books.
The order was resisted by the
owners, on account of the low rate
paid for the land and the fact that
1t intersected their fields and left
tillable land on either side. An
agreement was reached this morn
Ing whereby the road is to remain
on its present location, the affected
landowners signing a contract
never to make any charge to the
county for additional land for a
road which may be necessary from
time to time on account of the
caving banks.

NEED AGRICULTURAL TRAINING
Farmers Should Educate Sons
for Life Work.
Correspondent Says Boys Should Enter
Corn Contest and Learn Scientific
Methods of Farming
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
A fathers greatest interest GER
tainly ought to be centered upon
his own family circle. Perhaps
one of your greatest mbitions is
to give your sons and daughters
the very best opportunities that
you can provide. 1t is your desire
to develop your sons and daughters
into stalwart characters the work
the reputation, the life of whom
will do credit to you, to themselves
and to the PEOPLE whom they will
serve. Another one of your am
billions is to contribute to your coun-
try in manner that will prove to
the public that you appreciate the
American atmosphere of national
ity which is maintained and pro.
NOTED by the support of its sub
jects.
One of the greatest legacies that
you can give your country is a we'll
developed son that thoroughly un-
derstands and is able to demonstrate
a profession which will directly af-
feet the lives of his CT untrymen.
No other profession will affect a
greater number of citizens than
that of agriculture. And the orb
of agricultural light is but now
degining to dawn upon the profes-
sion of agriculture which will no
doubt in the future be one Of the
most prominent professions in our
country.
If you have son that has a
taste for agriculture, it is your
duty to encourage him to grasp
the opportunities that are now be-
ing offered the agriculturist, by
the various departments. En-
courage your boy to enter the
corn contest next spring, for it
will soon be time for him to begin
his preparations. If he does not
win one of the prizes that will be
given in this contest he will be
we'll paid for all efforts put forth,
for the prize is the smallest thing
In the contest. The thorough
training in modern agriculture and
up-to-date farming is the greatest
feature. Being recognized by the
business men, and the educators Of
your state, this contest is surely

TO ERECT BIG WAREHOUSE
Farmers Union Delegates Decide to Form
Corporation at Little Rock.
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

Late yesterday the delegates of
the Arkansas warehouse associa-
ton and Farmers Union Cotton
Co. adopted solutions to c-nsoli-
date their interest and erect a big
warehouse in Little Rock from
which the business of the state will
be handled, also the formation of a
big corporation to enable the or
ganlzation to carry on the business.
The exact amount of the corpora
ton was not decided upon. The
delegates spent the day in execu-
tive session and all left the city
last night.

STAGES OF ARKANSAS RIVER
Record of Many Years Kept by
D. O. Harton.
Last Year Remarkable for Flood Stages
Which was Reached Four Times
and Almost Fifth.

For many years D. O. Harton
of the firm of Martin & Harton
has kept record of the high wat
er in the Arkansas river each year
as recorded by the government
guage at Little Rock. The other
day he perfected this record by Sc
curing data from the weather bu-
reau, SO that it is now complete for
81 years, and includes the estimates
of high water extending back for
period of IS years, or until 1888,
when the higest water since the
settlement CT the state is known to
have been reached.
The record shows that during
the 81 years there were I6 years
when the flood stage of p feet was
not reached. The highest water
during this period was in 1892,
when a stage of 29.2 feet was
reached, and the next highest was
in 1904, when the water rose to
27.6 feet. In 1900 the river was
never higher than ten feet below
the flood stage and the following
year the stage never exceeded IS. 5
feet
Last year was remarkable in
that the flood stage was passed on
four different times and almost
reached fifth time.
Levee Affords Ample Protection.
By reference to the history of the
river it will be seen the lands pro-
tected by the levee in this county
are scarcely in danger of ever be-
ing overlooked. The levee is now
built to Withstand a flood stage of
3I.6 feet at Little Rock, a point
which has never been reached
since the gauge was installed,
althou h the estimates for 1888
and 1914 are some higher than
this mark. Last year it would
have been absolutely impossible to
make any crop whatever on most
of the lands protected by the levee
if it had not been built, as the
lands would have been successfully
overlooked in April, May, June,
partially overlooked in October,
and again covered in December.
The High Water Marks
The following is copy of the
record, which was furnished us by
Mr.. HartOn:
