TET,T REPORT.
PROPOSED Panama Highway.

The Royal mail boats, the Hamburg
American boats, the French and Italian
boats all bearing their quota OF tourists
sightseers on the IsJhmuS, every one OF
whom seems to be carried away with
the magnitude OF the work going on and
with conditions as they find them. 1t
would not surprise me if, in the near fu-
ture, because of.the magnificent climate
and of the natural interest that is being
centred in and about the 1sthmus on ac-
count of the building OF the cana a
great winter resort should be builded up
here, and especially would this be d
ioregone conclusion If good roads should
be constructed clear across the lsthmus
along the route of the canal. Roads are
being constructed upon both sides OF the
Isthmus by the Isthmian Canal commis-
sion. Mileage is not very extensive, and
there seems to be no tangible movement
toward extending the roads now being
constructed across from Colon to Pana~
ma. The distance is only about II miles
and if pike should be laid out and well
macadanlized. there could be no more
beautiful highway imagined for the
driving Of automobiles and horse high
way vehicles. especially so if the high
way should skirt along the banks of the
canal and the numerous lakes, which
will be formed thereby, so that the pan
oramic view could be maintained in all
it's beauty. There is just enough rise
and fall to break monotony, and at the
same time afford easy grades for vehl-
cles to move upon.
This is. the only highway in the world
where one could cross from the Atlantic
to the Pacific Ocean in two hours time.
1t is DISC the only place 10 the world SO
far as 1 know where the sun seems TO
rise aud set over the Pacific Ocean view
ed from the land. It is also the only
place in the world. if my geography is
correct, where q town on the Pacific
Ocean lies east of another town located
upon the Atlantic Ocean, as is the case
with Panama and Colon. It would be a
splendid thing if the Isthnaian Cana
commission would construct a road from
Colon to Panama.-Baltimore Amerl'
can.

say that great sorrow is generally felt
as the untimelv dea5h of Mr.. Minis IN

Owing to the many expressions OF IN.
dignation heard after the tragedy, and
from information that came TO him dl-
rect, Sheriff Gamble felt that he had
good reason to apprehend that an or
ganized attempt would be made to take
Bethune out OF the hands OF the law aud
deal with him summarily, so he got IN
to long distance telephone communlca-
tion with Governor Ansel and received
instructions to take the prisoner to the
penitertiary in Columbia for safe keep
ing. Pursuant to these instructions the
Sheriff left on the morning train with
the prisoner. Many DO not think tnat
there was any danger of Il iynching be-
ing attempted, but many others thought
the ey saw ominious signs. On the whole
it is probably very well for Bethune 10
be taken away until the time for his
Trial arrives.

TEACHING FARMERS
AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL GIVES
 SPECIAL INSTRUCTION.
Equipment at State University Avail able for Use of Students
 Right Of the Farm"
Little Rock, Ark


 The fourth annual course in the Arkansas Agricultural College and Experiment Station at Fayetteville, which is increasing in popularity each year, will begin January 8, 1910, and close Saturday, January 15. It will be free to all farmers in the state, and the only expense will be that of board
 Most of the work during the ses- sion vii be in the nature of lectures and demonstrations, and it will not be possible in the limited time to in- troduce any laboratory work Most Of the lectures will be held in the Agricultural building. the students going to field, orchard or barn, as the work demands.
 The central thought which under lies all efforts in the College of Az riculture of the University of Arkan- sas is service to the farmers of the state. The college has for a number of years offered a regular collegiate course of agriculture of four years, but this advantage was only avail able to the student who could spend the regular term each year at the school. The demand for a shorter course, for the benefit of the farmer who can spend only a short time away from his work at home has been fully met in the present ar engagement.
 The response of the farmers dur ing the past three years justifies the continuation and extension of the course.
 All the forces of the College of Agriculture, it's buildings, apparatus, livestock and other equipment will be available for those in attendance The farmer students will be giy- en definite, helpful instruction of nature such as cannot be gained else where, except at the College and Experiment Station, where the work is actually in progress.
 Millions of dollars are being spent l annually, and thousands of scientists are searching diligently in the dis covery and dissemination of scien- tific truths in the realm of agricul- | ture.

Looking for Permanent Camp.

Gen. B. ". Green of the Arkansas National Guard is preparing adver- tisements for a permanent camp for the Guard. He desires 160 acres to be deeded to the Guard in the sub- urbs of town which can be easily reached. The grounds must also be well watered and provided with light. The rest the guard can do for itself
 The permanent camp ground is a thing to be desired, says Gen. Green, as the entire state guard will camp there during the year, and at the last encampment s37, 300 was spent, and it means much to the town where the camp ground is located.
