enumerated the different projects now
under consideration, beginning with
the Columbia river and ending with
the Ohio. There was not murmer
in the big banquet room until the pres

came a burst of handclapping from the
Ohio delegation. which was followed
bv cheers from Indiana and then shrill
shrieks from the Kentuckians, much
resembling a famous yell heard during
the Civil war The other interested
states Joined, the delegates rising to
their feet and waving their state ban
ners for several minutes. After the
tumult had subsided, President Taft
remarked slowly: 81 believe that

To Have a Fair this Fall

E. s. Foreman attended the meeting of the stockholders of the North Arkansas Fair Asso- citation at Berryville on last Saturday.
 A. J. Russell was elected sec- retary of tho association and as such will be at the head of the management of the affairs of the association during the coming fair year.
 It was determined to hold a fair about the usual season this fall, probably the first week in October.
 MT. Foreman thinks with the present outlook for crops this season the fair ought to be made greater success than it has ever been before.
 Work on the catalogue and the securing of attractions will be commenced earlier this year and the advertising feature will be pushed with more vigor than has characterized any previous eff fort.

Good Prospects for Route 4

The petition recently forward ed to Washington asking for the establishment of Rural Route 4 out of Green Forest has been re- turned for correction as to some technical point and it is expect ed that inspection of the propos- ed new route be ordered shortly.
 The road question is the only barrier that the proposition is likely to meet and patrons of the proposed route should get busy and see that the bad places are all mended before an inspector is detailed here to go over it.
 w. R. Phillips has made 8 plat of the route and has assist ed in working out some of the details. He believes the route is feasible and barring the bad conditions of the roads he thinks the chances first rate for secur- ing it.

Likes the Way We ak

"l Wish to express my appre- citation of your articles on the de. velopment of this country" said a business man of Green Forest to The Tribune editor Monday.
 "That rhubarb article last week was as true as gospel, " continued the enthusiastic talker.
 ''I honestly believe there is nothing to hinder any farmer from making good money at vegetable raising. That experi- ment of Mir. Standlee's in grow ing rhubarb is only an instance. 1 am sure as much could be done in other varieties of vegetables" !"
 The above quotation is only one of several such expressions given The Tribune editor lately and it is certainly gratifying to know that we have furnished the means that have caused some thinking among those whe are interested in the country's devel- opment. People who think are those most calculated to act and action is all that is necessary to bring about a most desirable condition in this country.

Dealing with the Hogs.

The hog question is still a question in Green Forest. The devoted friends of the brute are making vigorous pull back on the effort of the new mayor to enforce the ordinance requiring them to be shut up.
 The fact that the vote was de- cidedly in favor of enforcing the ordinance does seem to be a matter of any weight with those who prefer to live in veritable hog pen.
 The principal argument urged is that the ordinance is imprac- ticable for the reason that that out side hogs cannot be success fully kept out of the incorpora- tion.
 Mayor Scott is determined in his effort to make a test of the matter, but the result is ques- tionaole owing to the opposition that has been manifested.
 Raising hogs on the commons if not curbed by ordinance offers an open field, and just suppose that every person should stock themselves as some few have done, the population of hogs in the town would out number that of people by about five to one. How would you like for such a condition to come about? We don't believe that people who prefer to have hogs around them should be deprived of such liberty, but we do believe that they should be kept around them and not permitted to disturb others.

Sunday School Convention.

A complete surprise was t,prurg on the people of Green Forest when it was learned on last Sunday that a convention Of Sunday School workers of Car. roll county was programmed to be held at the Baptist church here this week.
 It seems that the meeting was agreed upon several months ago at A meeting of the convention, but Green Forest not being re- presented the fact was not made known here. Those entrusted with the preparation of the pro- gram iss ued same and sent it out just prior to the meeting, which conv,ned Tuesday and by this means the news reached Green Forest.
 Taking the eather in consld- eration with othe facts, 1t IS sur- prising that the effort did not fall through, but it hasn' t. What the attendance lacks n numbers seems to be made up in quality and those in attendance declare the meeting success.
 Among those present are n. A. Bowling and Miss Mindling, state workers, and Rev. G. w. Conner, pastor of of the Presbyterian church at Eureka Springs, who are possessed of fund of infor- nation for Sunday School work , CTS.
 The Tribune regrets that the meeting was not understood here ] and that becoming pre- paration had not been made for it.
