CANT COME TO AID OF COOK

Hartford, Nov. 16.-Through the loss of correspondence bearing on the Cook Peary controversy, James A. Bo- len of this place will be unable to come to the aid of Explorer Cook, as has been his intention, to refute the charges against Cook by Edwin N. Barrill, Cooks guide, on the Mt. Me Kinley expedition.
 For several weeks Mr Bolen, who is a member of the Bolen-Darnall Coal Company, has been conducting a sys- tematic search of the company's files, seeking for letters and photographs, describing, it is averred, the success ful ascent by Dr. Cook of Mt. Mckin- ley in 1906. Mir Bolen stated that Barrill apparently took great pride in the claim that he reached the summit of Mt Mckinley a short distance ahead of Dr. Cook. Bolen's acquaint- ance with Barrill was formed in 1905 in a hunting expedition in the west, and since that time they have core sponded.
 To correspondent of the Arkansas Daily News Service, Mr. Bolen said today: T fear that the correspond ence between Barrill and myself de- scribing the successful ascent of Mt. Mckinley has been lost, as it was purely of social character, and I was not expecting to be called upon for it. thought it was on file either in Me Allister or Kansas City. We have moved two or three times since 1906, so I have small hope of finding it.'

CONNECTS BRING
 STATE A PROFIT

Little Rock, Nov. 16.-Never in the history of Arkansas have the state convicts been so profitable as at pres ent Sunday an additional 120 men, all negroes, were taken from the state farm and put to work on a contract at Van Buren, each of them to draw $140 per day for the state. There were 200 out on contract at that time and another 100 will be taken from the farm before the end of the week, mak- ing about 450 men the state will have bringing in S1.40 each per day. Be- sides these, the state has 40 men working on the state capitol, which bring 50 cents each for 100 and Sl.4O each for the additional 40
 This will leave the aged negro men and the women on the farm to pick out the balance of the cotton. Up to Sat urday, when ties run out at the gin, there had been ginned S91 bales of cotton. Of this 800 has been sold There was picked at the same time be- tween ,000 and 1925 bales of cotton and the field was still white with the staple, forcing Superintendent Pitcock to raise his estimate from 1, 1,000 to 1, 100 bales. This cotton is all on top however, and though the field looks white, the yield will be light. He fig ures that the balance left on the farm should pick this all out by the first of the month.
 There are now ITO mules on the farm, and just as soon as the cotton is all picked out Superintendent Pitcock will put these to work breaking up the ground for spring planting. The teams have been worked on the road to Var. her, but this is completed TOW and the property holders in that section must fulfill their portion of the agreement and place six inches of gravel on the road so there will be a good way tC get in this winter.
