APPROPRIATION
 BILL DEFEATED

Little Rock. May Especial. The house this morning defeated the Oldham bill appropriating SI75,ooo out of which to pay Caldwell & Drake whatever may be awarded them by the arbitration board for their state capitol claim. The vote stood so to 38.
 Representative Parks offered a resolution censuring the governor for sending a special message to the house demanding the passage of submission prohibition bill, while none was sent to the senate. The resolution failed to rass. The special message was read ill the senate this morning, the members refusing to take it up yesterday.
 The senate this morning passed 30 house bills, nearly all being local measures.

Oldham Bill Recommended.

Little Rock, May IT. - After another skyrocket session yester- day the house agreed in con- mittee of the whole to pass the Oldham bill providing an emergen- cy fund of SI75, 900 from which to make settlement with Caldwell & Drake according to the finding of the board of arbitration. The fight on this measure was rousing one, due to a splitting in the Don- aghey forces through his fearless ness in appointing the men he thought fit on the St. Francis levee board. Members in the senate who were disappointed in their work to secure the appoint ments according to their dictation took a hand in attempting to de- feat it in the house. The fight in the house was led by Schafer. Little, Glover and others who favored other admi in istration bills. On the other hand DuLaney Heartsill, Martin, Vim, Dunaway and others who opposed the Old ham state capitol bill and also the Patterson bill have led the fight for its passage. The bill was ad- opted by the committee of the whole, 1T to 3o. Hurst led the fight for the bill and defended the thrusts at the governor.
 The senate received message from Secretary Ludwig asking h ow he should answer a communication from J. G. Adams. the prohibition speaker, asking the use of the state house grounds for speech making. The house and senate united in allowing him the use of both houses when not in use for legislative purposes.
 The house passed the Confed- crate home appropriation bill and killed the second reform school bill.

ENGINEER BROWNING KILLED
And Fireman Doyle Injured in a
 Freight Wreck.
Engine Topples Over Across Track at the Rector Spur Near Palarm
 Yesterday.

Engineer Joseph F. Browning of Little Rock was instantly killed and Fireman J. H. Doyle of Ar genta was seriously scalded when westbound fast freight I68 on the Iron Mountain, which left Argenta yesterday, was wrecked at Rector Spur, near Palarm, TO miles south of Conway, at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 The train was running about 25 miles an hour when the accident occurred. As the train was pass ing the spur a short distance this side of Palarm the pony truck un- der the front of the engine when it struck the uneven track of the con- nection was thrown from the track,
 Not having time to reverse the engine, Engineer Browning threw on the emergency brakes. The engine ran on the ties for a dis tance of four or five car lengths and was thrown on its side at right angles across the track, pin ming Engineer Browning under tile cab and throwing Fireman Doyle through the cab window to the front of the engine, where he was severely scalded by escaping steam. Engineer Browning was instantly killed by the grinding of the cab. The head brakeman, who was also in the cab, jumped from the gangway and escaped in- jury.
 Alter the engine toppled over, the tender, which remained up- right on the track, was rammed in- to the side of the engine by the momentum of the following cars four or five of which, after pushing the tender forward, left the track and went on to the right of way landing in heap on the right side of the track.
 Fireman Doyle was scalded by steam and hot water. Both arms were burned, the left one so serious. ly that it is partly drawn out of shape. His body and legs are scalded and bruised. and he also received internal injuries but they are not serious. While he was be ing pushed along the ground ahead of the engine splinter entered his left cheek which g brakeman afterwards pulled out.

WOULD FORM
 ALL STAR TEAM

To form an all-star Arkansas collegiate base ball team for
 the purpose of making : tour through the south and to the Atlantic coast during the sum- mer, is plan devised by Coach J. s. Leonard and Prof. Thomas Staples of Hendrix College, which has every prospect of being carried into execution. The team is to be selected from the six insti tutions which are participating in an intercollegiate series in this state during the present season, the individual records made by the various players being used as the principal basis for their selection. No player will be eligible on the team who is not bona 6de student and player in his college. An ex- pert coach from outside the state will be secured, and after giving the team week or ten days prac tice, will accompany them on the trip. A financial manager will also accompany the combination to arrange the details of the games. The players will receive no com pensation, except the two months trip, which will be valuable one from every standpoint. and small expense allowance, the purpose of the plan being to provide an op- portunity for the best college play CTS to work out during the summer under a skilled coach and at the same time enjoy an inexpensive vacation trip. Nearly all of the colleges have already signified their willingness to enter into the scheme, and a meeting will be held at Little Rock tomorrow night at which the details of the trip will be arranged.

PUBLICATION IS REGRETTED
Pres. Anderson Sorry that Ouachita- -Hsn-

Pres Anderson Sorry that Ouschita- -Hsa-
 drix Controversy was Made Public. Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I see in yesterdays issue of The Log Cabin Democrat that you have an article of considerable length on, Hendrix Boys Are Indig- nant. You will allow me to say that I am very sorry indeed that such a publication was made. From my point of view there is nothing to be gained by discussion that tends to make the colleges of our state antagonistic toward each other. The recent contests at Little Rock are settled and so far as I see nothing is to be gained by reference to them.
 Besides, Ouachita will be the gu est of Conway this week. Dr. Hartzog, the president of Ouachita College, is to deliver the literary address for our public schools, and the Ouachita- Hendrix debate is to be held in the Hendrix College auditorium on the evening of May IS. It is the duty therefore of our schools as we'll as all our citizens to make the visit of the president and students of Ouachita College to our community as pleasant as possible. What though we do disagree about insignificant mat ters? The great task of Ouachita and Hendrix is one and the same. We must not forget that we be brethren and fellow workers in the same great field. I repeat tho S fore, MT. Editor, that 1 am soM that the publication of yesterday appeared in your most excellent and enterprising paper. V
 Very respectfullyF7

HORTICULTURE IN ELMORE COUNTY

The horticultural possibilities of

of the young fruit must be practiced
for the good of the tree Thus with
the annual yields the profits of fruit
growing is so attractive as compared
to the humid section of the East
that there is no comparison to be

In the humid sections of the East
two or three crops in five is about
the rule, as against annual crops
here and double the amount each
year. For this reason the arid sec
lions can produce the fruit much
cheaper than the humid. Aside from

The developed fruit section is the
source of supply for the demonstra-
ton Of a fruit section at the fairs
or in the markets This demonstra-
tion is a publicity of value and the
sole guide of the novice or land
seeker DESTROYS of location to better
his condition by the production Of
such attractive fruit
The undeveloped fruit section hav-
ing equal, and at times superior,
conditions to the developed section
is never heard of by the land seeker
at the fairs or markets, and therefore
he cannot make himself believe that
another and perhaps superior exists
The object OF this article is to set
forth the possibilities of this and con-
tiguous localities that the land
seeker may know that there is hope
for him here with his limited cap
ital when other wise he is barred
from the purchase of land in the
developed sections because of the
high but not excessive values.

the oldest sections of the Northwest,

eases so prevalent in humid sections
and causing heavy losses of crops
through the marring or decomposi-
ticn of the fruit.
The flavor of the fruit raised under
arid conditions is sometimes ques-
toned as compared to the fruit
raised in the East. The criticism is
oftimes justified, but it is not the
result of climatic conditions, but Gull
tural methods. The abuse Of the soil
conditions by the misuse of water
and the lack of the proper physical
conditions of the soil so that the
tree may thrive without fluctuations
is the cause Of much orchard trou-
Bile.
If climate is an aid to flavor and
quality, then it should be in favor

the fruit growers themselves, and
the mention of the value to the
stranger. unaware of the POSSIBLE
tiles of production and the profit de-
rived, cannot conceive of but gross
Misrepresentation.
The special attraction for fruit
growers, under arid conditions is due
to the fact that the heat is a great
factor in Transforming weed growth
into fruit development, materially
assisting in maximum yields and
early production. This, together with

within fruit belts the value of which
is local and not to be computed in
comparison with the contiguous sec
tion, because of the greater diversity
IN the variety of fruits to be raised

locations greater value
Gilmore County is not the best fruit
section-for there is no such place.
II is part of the best fruit country
which must supply the apple markets
OF the world with the finest apples
that can be grown in any other part

The strife for supremacy as to the
best fruit locality is best demon
strated at the national competitive
fairs, when the victor loses to his
competitive neighbor at the succeed
ing exhibition The exhibits are a
great educational factor and when
exhibited in carload lots with each

fruit raised under arid conditions is
such as to command three times
greater price than is offered for the
apples raised in the East Thus the
price, the annual yield. the immense
yield and color of the apples raised
under arid conditions are the factors
which are attracting the fruit grow
ers from the East to enter the in
dustry here.
Aside from the above advantages,
the arid conditions cause the fruit to
be free from the many fungus dis

due to the rarified conditions as
aided by elevation. The better the
light, the better is the development
of the leaf, which is the vitality of
the tree, and the better the leaf
development, the better the fruit.
While the above does not hold true
with all plant growth, it is especially
true with the most of the orchard
fruits.

arid conditions and requiring un-

mild winters, the orchardist is safe
in planting a greater variety of
