AT A CRITICAL PERIOD.
Is the Apple Industry in Arkan.
 sas, According to Prof. Walker.

That the production of apples in Arkansas as we'll as in the Ozarks generally has reached a critical period was the statement made by Ernest Walker, profess sor of horticulture, University of Arkansas, m an address before the State Horticultural Society at Siloam Springs last week. His subject was ."The Outlook tor Apple-Growing in the Ozarks. :"
 The speaker was optimistic, however, and while predicting the failure and elimination of the careless and ignorant grower, he believed that much good would result 10 the industry as a whole by seperation of "the sheep from the goats.
 ''The indifferent grower will be forced to abandon apple grow ing and take up lines into which he can throw all his energy. Those who continue orchard work will study their business and become expert orehardists," said Prof. Walker.
 "Only fruit of the highest grade of excellence will be pro- duced or marketed When that time arrives our reputation as all apple section will be to our pres- ent reputation as sunlight IS to shadow. Reputation for quality creates it's own market.
 "The outlook for apple grow ing Tn the Ozarks Is better today than It has ever been before.
 He urged all farmers and fruit growers III Arkansas to take ad- vantage of the information which is furnished free by the experi- ment station at the State Univers- ity at Fayetteville.

GOOD JOB FOR PROF. SHINN.
To Be Named as Special Mes.
 senger by Congress.

The following dispatch will be interesting news to the many Springdale friends of Prof. Shinn, who was formerly a resi- dent of this place. Prof. Shinn was president of the Springdale College, and conducted the first Chautauqua ever held Tn Spring. dale:
 Washington, D. C., Jan. 26.- Josiah H. Shinn, now resident of Washington, formerly of Ark ansas, stands in the way to be named special messenger to serve the house. The death of the late Billy Watson, protege of Tammany of New York, made a vacancy, and Champ Clark, the Democratic leader, thought 1t a good plan to fill It with man of exceptional knowledge of ecoi1om- ic subjects, and picked Shinn as the best equipped man he could find. His resolution appointing Shinn probably will be adopted.
 Congressman Sulzer of New York, wants to retain the pat ronagea for Tammany, but Clark's plan to add all economic expert to the pay roll IS endorsed by most Democrats. The wishes of the minority in appointing minor ity employees always is respected by the Republicans.

FROM NEW MEXICO

Dear Editor of The Springdale News: 1 desire to extend many thanks to some one for sending me The News, giving news from Huntsville, my old home, as we'll as general news. It is quite welcome visitor to New Mexico.
 1 am living in southeast New Mexico, in Roosevelt county, Portales being the county seat. This Is a beautiful country to look over, with it's fertile plains, possessing a good elimate-dry winter weather, and the ther- mometer has not been to zero this winter. The country IS all settled up, there being some one on every quarter section. Health could not be better i'll any country. The altitude Is about 1000 feet, with pure light air. We have rain in spring and summer and dry in winter. We have had only one inch of snow this win ter and no rain. We had plenty of rain last summer and raised an abundance of everything. Indian corn, maize, kaffir corn and vegetables could not have been better. Our roads are fine; no rocks or mountains, no mud and no use of a brake on wag- on. We travel by the square, a public road sixty feet wide every mile.
 School districts have been or ganized all over the country, and school houses built. We have just finished ours within a quar- ter of mile of my residence at a cost of $500 and all paid. We had box supper to finish the payment on the house and paint 1t and realized S63.e5. We have good house for church and school, well seated, and church most every Sunday.
 
 Land IS advancing all the time. i Two claims were sold near here, one for S1 ,000 and the other for $1,15O within one mile and a half of me, with but little improve mentS on them. One farm, we'll improved, in five miles of Portal es, sold for S19, 1000. If we get a railroad through this neighbor- hood, or have good crop this year, land will go out of sight.
 My daughter, Bulah Hawkins, of Springdale, spent the holidays with us, and We all had quite an enjoyable time riding around over the country. 1 had saved a large watermelon which we cut the 10th of December. It was delicious and made lips smack that had not smacked before un. der similar circumstances. Bulah is now back at home all O. K. Wishing The News a prosperous year, with all of my friends in Ark.

HOUSE PASSES BILL FOR TWO PAY DAYS PER MONTH.
STEAMERS BILL IS PASSED.
Senator Logan Tells Funny Story...Lincoln Distillery Bill
 is Now a Law.

The House on Wednesday pass ed Senate bill No. 1, bill re- quiring railroads and other cor porations to have two pays each months instead of one. The railroads were opposed to the bill, but 1t was endorsed by the labor organizations of the state, and passed the House by the de- cisive ajority of S4 to :. The law goes into effect July 1.
 The only bill so far introduced by Speaker Brown passed the House Monday. It provides for reducing the number of ehal- lenges Ill felony and mlsdemeanor or cases. Under the present law defendants are allowed twenty challenges and the State ten. MT. Brown claimed that in many cases this permitted the guilty to escape punishment by getting friends on the jury who would tie 1t ups@His bill provides that the defendant shall have ten chal- lenges and the State seven. Not withstanding some of the lead CTS in the House opposed the bill strongly 1t was passed, 65 to 27.
 During the debate Tn the Sen ate yesterday on the semlmonthly payment bill most of the senators managed to work in story to illustrate their arguments. Sem ator Logan told yarn that caused a great deal of laughter.
 He said two boys stole some apples and at night went into an old graveyard to divide the spells. They decided to put the apples into two piles and were meehan- ally counting, Heres one for you and one for me" when ne- gro came along the road and heard their voices. The negro started off down the road as fast as he could run and caught up with white man.
 "What in the worlds the mat ter?n asked the white man.
 ''Jedgement days a-comin' an God an de devil is over in de graveyard now a-dividin' de souls,' said the negro.
 The white man decided to take the negro back to the graveyard and prove there was nothing in the story. They stopped at the gate to listen and failed to see two apples at the gate the boys had dropped. The counting was still going on. Finally the boys ceased counting and one said:
 ''Is that all?'
 "No," replied the other; "there are two more down by the gate and we might as we'll go and get them"
 Whether the white man or the negro got away faster Senator Logan did not explain, as be- tween the laughter from the sen- ators and the noise made by the presidents gavel his voice was lost Gazette.
