overnment Ownership.

VNCtitHCbb OWHCISIttP
 The ownership and control of the Hot Springs of Arkansas by the Unit ed States Government is absolute and its endorsement of them for the treatment of certain ailments is uL- equivocal.
 After due investigation Congress
 took possession of the springs in the year 1882. and it retained around them a reservation ample to protect there from all encroachments. It was the first national park reservation of the country.
 They are set apart by this act as "A National Sanitarium for all time 7 and dedicated to the people of the United States to be observed free from sal or alienation"
 Ill the year 1904 the State Legisla- ture passed an act granting the gen. eral government exclusive jurisdiction and sovereignty over the reservation, since which time the government has made rules and restrictions for hose who dispense the waters an dpractice in connection with the mthat have re- suited in much better service to the sick.
 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 beaut fully parked and planted to snrubbery and climbing vines and flowers. The Grand and other entrances to the res ervation are works or great architec- tural beauty.
 The most important improvement to Hot Springs male by the government
 10 the system Of driveways and walks
 on the three mountains comprising
 the reservation. They wind around the sides of tne mountain by easy
 grades tc the summlts 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 Hot Springs
 of Ark0nS0s

The legendary history of Hot Springs is as romantic as it's history is interesting siace the time the first white man is known to have visited here. IL is believed that these tner- maj springs were tho ones sought for as the Fountain of Perpetual Youth by Ponce de Leon. one of the early 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 a 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 inn 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 Early Settlers

The first person to settle at Hot Springs was Manuel Frudhomme, a Louiciana planter, in 1897. 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.

Speaker Not Erpected to Make
Many Changes.
[From The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington. Aug 4.-The only excitement LEFT
for the House is the appointment OF the commit
tees which will take place on the day of adjourn
ment Much anxiety is being manifested in the
lower body over the number OF choice assignments
which are vacant
Rumors OF all sorts are ahoat One of the hes.
substaniated reports in circulation to-day was 10
the effect that Representative John W. Weeks OF
Massachusetts. will be made chairman of the Com
mttee on Postofces and Post Roads. one of the
most important assignments I'm the House
This position was made vacant by the defeat OF
Jesse Overstreet. of Indiana The ranking member
of the committee is Representative Gardner of
New Jersey, but il Is understood that Speaker Can
non has made up his mind to give the place to
Captain Weeks, who is regarded as one OF the most
capable men i'm the House. This report was given
color to-day when Mr.. Gardner voted against the
appropriation Of $4,000 for automobiles for Speaker
Cannon. and II is said that he has already been
told he will not secure the charmanship
1t has occurred frequently in the House that a
speaker chose a member with no former expert
ence on a committee 10 be it's chairman, that
the fact that Mr.. Weeks has not served on post
ofhces and post roads will prove obstacle He Is
member of the committees Naval Affairs and
Banking and Currency. On both OF these com
nlttees he has done able work Besides this he
is highly effective debater. adding to a command
ing presence great lucidity of argument. He is a
member Of the Monetary Commission.
Another well authenticated rumor is that Repre-
sentative Cooper of Wisconsin will not be depOsed
as chairman of the Committee Insular Affairs.
Until recently he has been dyed- thewool in
surgent," but he voted for the tarn bill and
absent when the Speakers automobile appropria-
ton came up to-day that the organization men
are again counting his support.
II is understood that the Speaker has decided not
TO depose any OF the insurgents except Repre-
sentative Fowler. Of New Jersey. chairman OF the
Committee Banking and Currency, and his depo-
sition is due to popularity and tenacity OF his
views financial affairs.
II has been pointed out to MIN that TO denote
any OF the insurgents would make capital for them
home and this the Speaker does not desire TO do
He believes that he has legitimate excuse in de-
posing Representative Fowler. whose views do not
coincide with those Of Senator Aldrich or the
House leaders financial matters. and who could
not be brought TO agree TO the financial bill Of a
year ago.
