Hon. Thomas E. Ludlam, formerly mayor of Sea Isle City, N. J., arrived in Kingman a few days ago and is looking after matters before the dis trict court. Mr. Ludlam is heavily interested in mining in this county and will arrange for the working of some of the properties before return ing to his home.
 James E. Brown recently discovered in one of the old mines at Wright Creek an ore body upon which he sunk shaft to depth of twenty feet. This shaft disclosed two feet of ore that gives average values of nearly 1OO$ gold to the ton. The vein had a shaft sunk to depth of 100 feet some distance from the discovery, but out side the ore bearing ground. A drift can readily be driven from this shaft into the rich portion of the vein and it is probable that this will soon be done.
 R. J. Ferguson is exhibiting a num- Der of big specimens of copper ore from the Redemption and Clyde mines in Kingman. The ore shows splendid values and the report is that the mine is showing big bodies of the same grade of ore. The Redemption Cop per company, owner of the properties, ! is making preparation for the installa- tion of a milling plant at the mine, as we'll as betterments in the mine itself Much new ground has been opened the past few months and in all the openings rich milling ore is showing.
 J. k. Meyers, who financed the Col orado river Dredging Company, has gone to New York to place 1OO.000S ir bonds of the Empire Dredging com pany, an auxiliary concern. This con

all of our wheat product will be needed for our own uses ana we shall cease to be an exporter of grain There is still some room in Canada but it will soon be fill- ed. The relief will be but temp orary. Our own people, whose mineral resources will have by that time greatly diminished must find themselves thrown back upon the soil for a living. If continued abuse of the land should mark the next fifty years as it has the last what must be our outlook?"
 In other words we must hast en both for our present profit and for the future protection and safety of our children to promote a widespread adoption of bet ter methods of agriculture, in cluding ways and means for main taining and increasing the fer tility of our soils, which is the one fundamental and absolute basis of all property.
 The plan embodied in this bill is not an experiment. Ut has had years of successful application in other states, notably in Missouri, Illinois and Ohio. It has never been a failure. Missouri is spend- ing $18,OOO annually for this work, Illinois, $2o,OOO, Wisconsin $1O,OOO, and Alabama S1O,OOO. The General Assembly of Illinois is now considering proposal to appropriate S1OO,OOO annually for 10 years to be devoted eXcius- ively to this work.
 In proportion to the magnitude and importance of this work the appropriation Of S50OO annual ly asked for is extremely small. 1t is the minimum necessary to inaugurate this great undertak- ingl It is an investment which will repay the state many fold.
 Our statute books are filled with laws for the protec tion and conservation of fish and game, we have the most delicate legal inachlnefy Tor protecting the property of minor heirs, for the appointment of guardians, ad- mlnistratOrs, etc, but we are without q word of 4egislation looking to the conservation and protection of 'that property which is the basis of all others namely the fertility of the soil. Under present methods we are surely rObbing not only our chil- dren but pOsterity of this great blrthright which they should possess and enjoy after, us. It is the sole capital upon which we can draw through all the future but the amount of the draft that will be hOnored depends upon the care and intelligence given to it's cultivation and it's maintenance.
 Every citizen should feel it a patriotic duty to see that those representing him in the General assembly support this measure.

WILL ASK SCHOOLS FOR HELP

Little Rock, March 1S.- Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion George B. Cook spent last night in Brinkley, where he met with the school board and made preparations to open the schools there in large tents. the school house being so damaged it cannot be used again for some months. Lists of the books needed for the pupils were arranged for and the books will be donated by the pub fishers. Supt Cook yesterday mail ed out to the schools over the state appeals for dona ations to be applied on new school house for Brinkley He thinks the schools of the state will all send in small amounts, and the build- ing destroyed by the cyclone can be replaced without cost to the citizens of Brinkley.

TO LET THEIR WHISPERS GROW.

Texarkana, March IS. A spring crop of whiskerS is flour ishing in Chinatown. The Almond eyed Celestials present a bewi.d- ering assortment of sideburns, imperials, mustaches and the common or garden variety of "Il- lacs," which would make asham- ed a bunch of Kansas tobacco mastica tors. Male Chinamen whose chins are within the age limit to possess the required fer tility have sprouted facial fringe until enterprising representatives Ol hair mattress factories have started a hot competition, if a truthful newspaper man of this city is to be believed, for the rip ene0 crop.
 The cadse of the boom in whis- kers is a recent edict which fol- lowed the death of the dOwager empress, Tsi An, that all loya. sons of China abstain from the use of the razor, excepting upon cornS and their enemies, for the TeXarkana chinkS are thorough ly AmericaniZed the enforced ban on tOnsOrial exercises to continue for a period of six months. Chin csc laundrymen who have had some difficulty in learning how to squirt water through their teeth on to the bosom of Mel- ican shirts without beard inter- ference and some youthful Vhinks with over. finicky frances are the only ones to raise any strenuous objections to the Imperial >Whis- kers Mandate.

But since landing at the ostrich farm he has refused to associate up- on terms of equality with the commoner birds. His food of rus ty nails, tin cans and scrap iron remained untasted. Mir. Cockburn grew worried. He heard however that there was an aristocratlc American bird at the >Passadena California farm. He wired and made arrangements to have her shipped to Hot Springs He thinks she will be Mr. Ostrich's true affinity. Thus are the titled foreigners taking our American girls.

SEN. McKENZlE'S SOIL BILL.

Senator Mckenzie has introduce ed one of the most important measures likely to come before the present General Assembly.
 The bill provides for a thor ough scientific investigation of the soils of the state, including their chemical analysis; and al- so for the establishment of coop erative test fields will be wide ly scattered over the state up- on which fertilizer and rotatio tests will be carried ,out and all possible ways and means stud jed for maintaining and increas- ing the fertility of all Arkansas soils
 By the passage of this bill Ar kanSas will join the great nation al moven ent for tiO. of national resources. At the Con ference of Governors at the White House last spring called to consider the conservation of our natural resources. James J. Hill in an address before this conference made the. following statements
 Were any statesman show us how to add two billion collars annually to our foreign trade it would be the sensation of the hour. The way to do this in az riculture is open. Our share in the increase would not be the per centage Of profit allowed by sue cessful trading, but the entire capital sum On the other hand stands the fact that the unset tied area suitable for farm pur poses is almost gone. Besides, we have been for the last century reducing the producing power Of the country. No where in the range of national purposes is the reward for tion of a na- tiOnal resource so ample.
 By the fixed rate of increase in the past we must count upon a population of over two hun dred million in the United States in the year 1850. The annual increase from natural growth is about one and One-half per cent. each year Adding for immigra- igration only 75O,OOO per year. which is less than three-quarters of the figures reached in recent years, we shall have about one hundred and eighty million peo- in 1925 and at least two hundred million by the middle of the cen- tury.
 Where are they to go, how are they to be employed, how fed, how enabled to earn a living wage? The pressure of all nations upon the waste places of the earth grows more intense as the last of them are occupied. We are approaching the point where

used on telephone lines, would be use less because 1t could not hold back this enormous pressure. Therefore the high tension lines must be carefully insu- lated with the best kind of insulating material These insulators are the very best that can be made and they do the work all right until the light ming begins to break things up and commit crimes aiong the line until it has to be arrested.
 Among the numerous types of light ming arresters for high tension lines recently invented by the engineers of the General Electric company. is one which is known as the electrolytic, the operation of which is very interesting. This arrester consists of a number of aluminium trays mounted on a central rod and stacked one above the other as dinner plates might be stacked. These trays are filled with an cleo trolyte or liquid which forms very thin film between each pair of plates. The trays are then placed in cylin- drical casing which is filled with oil. and are mounted on a pole.
 One end of the series of trays is con- nected with the earth. The other end is connected with heavy metallic strip which leads up to a horn shaped wire placed close to the line wire. The open space between the horn and the wire is known as the spark gap. Ordi- narily the line voltage cannot break down the air resistance of the gap and leap across. but when lightning strikes the line the surging which is set up is so powerful that the discharge leaps the gap and passes down into the ar rester. Here peculiar action takes place. The electrolyte. under ordinary voltages. is of very high resistance and could not be broken down by the line voltage But the extremely high voltage of the lightning discharge. which lasts only an instant. punctures the electrolyte in a myriad of places. and for the moment allows the current to flow to earth and relieve the stress

Strange as it may seem. this prac- tical failure of our most elaborate and scientific attempts at ventilation. while theoretically discouraging, is really just the contrary. from a prac- tical point of view. In short, it has led us to define fresh air" as a working concept, as air which is sim ply what it's name implies. fresh from outdoors Wherever you get this into a room, you get good lung food" Wherever you don't-poor lung food"
 In other words, the simple. every day method of ventilating, which is within reach of 90 per cent of us. day and night. through open windows and doors. is the one that gives not only the best, but the only satisfac- tory results. It requires constant and intelligent attention. It must be. as the artist Turner said of his colors. mixed with brains" But that is one of its advantages.-Dr. Woods Hutchinson. in the November Out ing

Practically, we must judge fresh air like the classic handsome" not so much by what it is as by what it does. If it makes those who breathe it under normal conditions feel fresh it is fresh. If it doesn't. it isn't We must always remember that we are not ventilating rooms. but people
 This is no reflection on the invent DTS of systems of ventilation. On the contrary. 1t is a frank confession of our ignorance as hygienists. as to ex- actly what constitutes pure air" or to put it more precisely. what the clements are which render air inn pure or unfit for breathing The better class of inventors and engi- neers, by fans. forced draught and suction. have delivered the goods. " in the language of the day. according to our specifications.
 We were even more disappointed than they to find that they did not fill the bill. But an honest con- fession" is exceedingly good for the soul.' and our comparative failure in our more ambitious efforts has led us to re-examine more carefully and radically what are the qualities which we wish to secure and what are those which we wish to avoid in good air for breathing purposes. In other words, what is really fresh air?

As soon as this is over. the punctures close up and prevents the line voltage. generated by the dis tant dynamos. from following up the advantage and forcing current to the earth through an arc of conducting vapor which would be formed in the gap As a double precaution against the formation of such an arc. the gap is made with two diverging horns. An arc formed down in the narrow part spreads upward and outward in a fan shape and is eventually blown out of itself

UTAH CANAL TROUBLE
 GETS INTO COURT
The Company Asks for Relief Against
 An Alleged Obstructionist.

Trouble which has been brewing along the banks of the Utah canal \ for some time, yesterday found it's way into the district court in the suit of w. w. Dobson, s. c. Sorenson and F. W. Sanders, directors of the Utah Irrigation Canal company. against James Johnson.
 fendant has been obstructing opera tions along that waterway. He is the owner of a quarter section of land through which the canal runs. and that part of it has been fenced in with a barbed- wire obstruction which not only interferes with the free flow of the water. but prevents the clean ing of the canal
 1t is stated that the defendant. by threats of personal violence, prevents the zanjero from entering the en- closure. and also keeps out the men who have been employed to clean the ditch. It is stated outside of the complaint that the defendant guards his preserves with a shotgun.
 It is the contention of the plaintiff that the company is entitled to strip of lard twenty feet wide along the ditch for the passage of the gan jero and other persons under his di- rection for the purpose of keeping the canal in order It is contended that this right has belonged to the com pany ever since it's organization

 Lightning is so quick. so big and strong that nothing of human design can be made to capture 1t or keep II in confinement Therefore 1t IS oniy a question of letting it escape Tn the best possible manner for all concerned
