already been spent ON plans for
this and most of the councilmen
are for going right ahead with
the work.
The probable annexation of
Puyallup and other suburbs now
makes the gravity system more
practicable than ever 1T is urged,
as the gravity pipe Line will come
right past Puyallup and 1t will

Mystery-No Trace Of Boy
st. Adams. Aug. 27.-Another mys
FERROUS disappearance in this section
was brought TO light yesterday when
il was learned that Carrie Tuscan the
3 year old daughter of Jerry Tuscan
OF Sneldon, had been missing for n
week. The girl who is large for her
age and pretty had been working for
soc mtime for a family at North
Sheldon. A week ago Thursday
she obtained permission to visit
the folks at home and left after sup
per to walk there a matter of three or
four miles. This was the last time
that anyone as far as known saw the
girl. Her absence was not discovered
sooner owing to the suppostion of
both her parents and employers that
she was at the others house Search
ing parties have been organized and
every effort is being made to locate
the girl.
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Kenneth Boynton the 12
year old son of Gates Boynton wno
left home Monday afternoon to go but
ternutting, is as deep as ever. The
officers at Montpelier thought they
had the boy and Mr.. Boynton hurried
down there only to meet a strange
boy and disappointment. 1t is believ-
ed by some that the boy is victim of
dime novels as he is said to have
threatened to take the war path
against tne red skins on several diff
ferent occasions.

Utica, Aug. 3O.-Wita the quota
lions scoring three times higher than

prospects were most encouraging
Blue mold has been discovered on sew

been seen i'm the hop growing section.
1t is one of the most serious forms of
blight that hop raisers have TO fear
and it has been the cause of the rui-

alarmed over this new trouble and
much anxiety is felt for the outcome.
The mold 50 far has been found on

TO EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.

The proper spirit is shown in the resolution offered by Representa- tive Warnock to exempt from tax ation for a period of ten years all money that may have been invest ed in cotton factories in Arkansas.
 It has been endorsed by ths Farmers Union and by many members of the legislature.
 It will be a means of inducine outside capital to come to tn State. proving that the State is not inimieal to capital.
 No greater catastrophe can be- fall any State than for an impress sion to go abroad, whether we'll founded or not, that capital is op posed. harassed and restricted.
 Arkansas needs cotton factories,
 They are needed for the manu- facture of our own raw material and the consequent encouragement of cotton raising. and are needed to provide employment for our own people.
 Several efforts, for time sue- cessful, but eventually failing for various causes, have been made to establish cotton mills in the State
 Exemption from taxation would not solve all the difficulties, but il would be strong card in favor Of the industry.
 Arkansas may not get the mills without making this concession, and with it, several might be in- duced to locate in the State.
 The tax on big plant would be a no inconsiderable item in the budget of mill attempting to gain foothold. and if relieved of this obligation for period of ten years 1t would have a much better chance to become established.
 Not only would this be a most desirable law with reference to cotton mills, but it might equal wisdom and desirability be applied to other industrial enterprises that might thereby be induced to come to the State.
 Take off the bridle and invite capital to come in.
