Government Improvements


 he 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 eryation are works Of great architec- tural beauty.
 The most important improvement to Hot Springs male by the government b 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 sGmmlts 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.

The Hof Springs
 of ArkanS0S

The legendary history of Hot Springs is as romantic as it's history lis interesting since the time the first white man is known to have visited here. If is believed that these tner- nal springs were the ones sought for as the Fountain of Perpetual Youth 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 1541-42 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 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 i'm 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 first person to settle at Hot Springs was Manuel Frudhomme, a Louisiana planter, in 1907. In 1911 he was joined by John Percival and Isaac Gates, In 1920 Joseph Mellard built a double log cabin and this was the first structure that could be termed a hotel. In 1928 Ludonicus Bedding 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 Wrestling Match

The question of who's who"
among the local wrestlers was not
settled in the match at Opera Hall
last Saturday evening. The result
of the match between Theo. Jensen
and Sam Nelson left the audience
more puzzled than ever as to the
relative ability of these two wrest-
lers. Neither man was willing to
take chances and they both played
the game so carefully that it became
a tiresome spectacle for the on
lockers. After an hour and eight
minutes without a sign of any
thing doing" Jenson finally won the
first fall. Nelson came back strong
and won the second bout in five
minutes. They went at the third
bout more cautiously than ever and
after thirty minutes Of see-sawing
back and forth across the mat,
referee Collins called the match a
draw as it was getting too late to
continue.

NORMAL, 19-soUTH SIDE HIGH, 0
The Normal footb all team played
their first at home" game last Sat
urday. The locals trimmed up
team from the Minneapolis South
Side high school in clean and in
teresting game. The final score
was 19 to 0. Considering the fact
that this was the first Normal game
for several years and that almost
the entire Normal lineup is in the
game for the first time this season,
the pedagogues made remarkably
good showing. In Saturdays game
Owens was the star ground gamer
through the line, and Condit ex-
celled in end runs. Thompson, at
center, played strong game and
his passing was perfect. Foley did
excellent defensive work at left end.
Rudow's punting was good and his
field goal from the 35-yard line was
one of the neatest drop-kicks ever
pulled off on the local gridiron.
The forwards held we'll for the kick
plays and not an attempt was
blocked. The Normals were weak
in their interference work though
also in catching punts, making sew
eral costly fumbles during the
game. They have good material for
strong team, and with good, hard
practice should finish the season
strong.

Foot Ball
RIVER FALLS HIGH, 17-GALAHAD,

RIVER FALLS HIGH, 17--GALAHAD, 8
Last Thursday saw the first foot
ball game of the season played in
the city when the high school met
Galahad on the local gridiron. 1t
was fine day for a game, and a
good crowd was out to watch it.
There were few in the crowd who
looked for home victory, and bets
that Galahad would win went beg
cling. Galahad had the advantage in
weight and in prestige. They had
defeated Hastings So to 0, Cumber-
land IA to 0, Menomonie Fl to 6, and
Saltwater II to 10, besides holding
the strong St. Paul Central to a
score of 5 to 0. Their only bad de-
feat had been at the hands of New
Richmond, IS to 0. On the other
hand the locals had no record.
With only three veterans in the line
up, weighing Is pounds per man
less than last year, with the lineup
for the game uncertain until the
game began, with only two games
played this season, one a practice
game with the Normal when the
Normal scored IL and the high 0,
and the other IL to 0 defeat by
Saltwater, their prospects were not
bright. At $50 high kicked off,
and in three minutes Galahad had
scored by the drop kick route, and
it looked all over. But the high
braced, played the visitors TO a
stand still, and duplicated their
trick, making the score to 8. That
was all for the first half, though
Galahad kept the locals on the de-
fensive all the time, and it was free
ly predicted that in the second half
Galahad would do the trick. But,
to the surprise of everybody, when
the second half opened the locals
went after the visitors with a rush,
scoring touch down in quick order,
making the score 9 to 3. A drop
kick by the locals few minutes
later made it IL to g. Then the
coach began sending in subs. One
more touchdown came before the
game was over, but Symes failed
the goal, and the score was II to 3.
1t was a glorious victory, we'll
earned. The locals have one more
game in their way, New Richmond,
next Saturday, and it should be a
battle royal. Both teams have
beaten Galahad, by much the same
score. New Richmond has tied
Cumberland, and beaten Normal
and Notre Dame high. They have
fast, scrappy bunch, and will be
in the game to the finish. They
would rather beat River Falls than
any other team in the circuit, and
we'll they might. The two schools
have played ten games, River Falls
winning 7. The last five games re-
suited IL to 6, II to 5, to O., AZ TO 0,
SO to @, and it is this series of de-
feats that New Richmond hopes to
even up. On the other hand River
Falls has a record to sustain, and
the boys will go into the game to do
it. They are not in the best of con-
dition, and may not be able to put
their best team in the field, but they
will be there to win if possible, and
it is certain that they will give a
good account of themselves. Prof.
H. A. Scofeld, of Superior, will
referee the game, and DR.. Harmon,
of ST. Paul, will umpire it. 1t will
be worth going TO see.

Says Report.

Paris. The report Of the parlia-
mentary commission which inyesti-
gated the naval scandals in France
has been turned in 1t il .
scathing condemnation Of the naval
administration for the last ten years.
and 1t makes an astounding exposure
OF the deplorable condition of the feet
for which France has spent $70D. 000.-
600 since 1899.
The $50 pages Of the report are
filled with details of the inef6ciency
resulting from confusion and red tape.
conditions that make French naval
construction cost IS per cent. more
than English or German.
Perhaps the gravest feature Of the
exposure is the lack OF reserve coal
and ammunition supplies at the yari-
GUS ports and arsenals. One officer
testified before the commission that
at the end of naval battle of six
hours the ships would find it impossi-
BILE to replenish and would be virtual
IL out of commission.
