 When the timber men purchase the cheap timber pine lands in Arkansas they had an idea that the lands were practically worth. less and that after the timber Was once removed, they would only he too glad to let large acre ages revert to the state for taxes. The exploitels S of the experimental farm thought different and turned the limelighto OF and ventured in. to scientific farming. The re. suits that have been achieved on this farm have been doubte1 by many both far and near and in order to more thoroughly con vince the renders pictures have been taken of all crops to date which will be exhibited from time to time that they may see the opening up of richer mines than those hidden in the bowels of the earth and which illume with brilliancy before the tall pines surrounding the open space of cultivation. Comparing the fertility and the productive ness of the cut-over pine lands of Arkansas with other sections of the United States, it was found that Arkansas is the greatest all-purpose state in the Union and the most wonderful di. versitied agricultural section in the country.

Enough Glory for All

There is considerable adverse sentiment in Pike county on ac. count of the fact that the Pres colt correspondent or the Little Rock Gazette" claims for the Prescott District" the credit for fruit shipments going through that town. Nearly all if not all, the fruit movement is from Pike County, and the bulk of it from the Arkansas Orchard Planting Company's 2,000-acre orchard in Pike County. Old Pike has for many years seen it's timber moved out to make pay roll for some other town, and has stood many a slight on ac count of it's sister counties that were on the railroad and had more advantages, but now it has the railroads, fruit, timber, dia, monds, kaolin and the best cotton and corn land in Arkansas, and is not going to let other less favor ed counties get away with the glory. MurfreesbOro cores pondent of Little R ,ck Demo crat.
 There need be no jealousy eX- isting between Prescott and Murfreesboro, because of the fruit shipments A few years ago Pike county, although join ing Nevada, was, by it's inaccessi Dility, considered quite remote, but today connected by the Pres colt X Northwestern Railroad, the two sections have been brought to each others door, and their interests ale identical l. Prescott is proud of Pike coun- tvs peaches, she is proud of Pike cOunty'S timber, and she is proud or Pike county s dla- monds, and instead of robbing her of her glory along these lines, we feel that there is enough to share the glory with her. We invite the people of Murfrees boro and of Pike county to come on the 27th to our Land Congress and while we haven't any dia, mOndS, We will show you some rare specimens of genuine hos pitality, and a display of good feeling; and we expect to have on that day for the benefit of our guests a profusion of the choic- est Pike county peaches

At CONCORDIA COLLEGE
Promising Outlook for New School
Year-Improvements Prove
an Incentive.

According to Prof. o. l. Hertsgaard,
head Of the music department of Con-
cordia college, the outlook for that in
stitution for the next school year is a
most promising one; in fact, he says
1t was never better. The promised
large attendance in a great measure
has been stimulated by the extensive
improvements which have been made
TO the dormitories in which new hard
wood floors have been laid on the diff
ferent floors and other changes and
Improvements Of a minor sort have
been made which will add greatly to
the comforts and conveniences of the
attending students, especially the
young ladies. He said, too, that he
was gratified to learn that among
those returning for another year were
all the band boys, which means so
much to the institution, and of course
1t also means that there will be a
higher standard Of band music. The
tours of the band during the last term
were profitable and there is money in
the treasury for the purchase of new
and better instruments. Professor
Hertsgaard left this afternoon, after a
weeks engagement with the Putnam
band at the state fair, for Kindred,
where he will spend a week or two
with his mother and take a good rest

CRIPPEN CAPTURED ON
The STEAMER MONTROSE

her head was so bent that no one could
have seen her face.
Dow, who made the arrest led the
way to the gangway, the steward
carrying a small suit case marked -.
Robinson" This bag was the only
baggage which the two brought with
them.
Hurry Up Trial.
AS soon as the arrests were made the
local court authorities were notified
and Judge Panel Anglers arranged to
hold court this morning. The accused
were held under the law pertaining to
fugitives who are suspected with crime
and court proceedings were arranged
to be conducted expeditiously.
1t hoped that Crippen and his typist
can be sent back to London on the
steamer Royal George, which will sail
on Thursday. However, under the fug-
tive offending act the prisoners have
a right to remain here fifteen days be-
fore the departure. This period af-
fords them opportunity to seek re-
lease through habeas corpus proceed
ingE. Crippen also may exercise his
right as an American citizen to appeal
to the American consul here and SO
make sure that his rights are not in
frtnged. 1t is doubtful If Crippen
avails himself of either chance for de-
lay.
AS the prisoners were about to be
taken ashore, Inspector Dow went with
Crippen when he held firmly by the
arm. AS they passed up the main
companionway to the after deck where
the gang plank way was fixed. Crippen,
his face white as death, walked with
a stumbling gait.
AS they passed the state room which
the doctor had formerly occupied with
Miss Leneve, the door OF that room
swung open and Detective Mccarthy
led, or rather half carried Miss Leneve
out to the passageway.
AS they appeared on the gang plank
and caught sight of the enormous
crowd that surged about the pier des-
perately determined to get a glance OF
the pair, Crippen and the woman would
have dropped in their tracks but for
the strong arms which supported them.
Crippen's manacled hands swung loose
ly from sided to side. Miss Leneve
swayed from side to side. Her closely
cut hair still gave her the boyish APP
pearance which she had tried to adopt.
The little procession had scarcely
reached the foot OF the gang plank
when the pushing crowd closed in
around them and it was only after
the police had charged that they were
able to make passage to the waiting
cab

SCHAS PROVES TO
Be GREAT DRIVER
FEW REALIZED HOW NEAR AUTO
ACCIDENT DURING RACES CAME
TO BEING FEARFUL CATAsTRo-
PHE-JUsT MISSED FLOWING |
THROUGH CROWD.

Although those In the grandstand
during the auto races at the fair
grounds on Saturday evening were
aware that they had witnessed what
might have been a much more serious
affair, when Driver George B. Schas
hit the fence, few realized just how
near they came to seeing terrible
catastrophe.
When Schas turned his machine
from the fence which he had struck he
was going at terrific clip and was
headed directly toward the crowded
fence rail ON the outer side of the
course. Had he lost. his head for a
moment he would have plunged
straight into the crowd with awful
results.
Schas had TO think at lightning rate
He had to protect not only his own
machine and the crowd along the outer
rail, but. the other autos which were
whizzing toward him from behind at
more than a mile a minute.
When he kept cool and swerved his
machine clear around and away from
che inner side of the race course where
the other machines were coming and
saved himself, the crowd and the other
drivers from injury, he proved himself
a really great auto driver.
His machine was in excellent shape
for Just such an accident 1t had been
frightened and prepared to Withstand a
shock, and although 1t moved down
several fence posts it was not hurt iii
the least.

Moorhead Department
SALOON VALUE
FIGURES WRONG
so SAYS AN OFFICIAL CONCERN
ING THE VALUES PLACED ON
MooRHEAD SALOON PROPERTY
BY ATTORNEY AT WASHINGTON
-PosToFFIcE WILL SUFFER.

An official who is in touch with
realty and personal values in Moor
head and Clay county stated today that
the figures Of saloon values alleged
to have been used by the attorney who
has been at Washington, d. c., sup
posedly in the interest of the brewers,
and published at his instigation, really
show nothing at all when 1t comes to
getting things down to brass tacks."
The low valuations of saloon proper
ties in Moorhead and GAINESVILLE have
been known for years and have been
discussed by the equalization author
tiles year after year. The saloons are
no higher and no lower than other
other business properties, but the
withdrawal of the former means a
much higher assessment If the people
continue to demand the continuance
% civic improvements and the sup
plying of different public conveniences.
One institution in the city which will
receive telling upper cut blow with
the proposed discontinuance of the
wholesale and retail liquor business
from Moorhead will be the postof1ce,
the business of which will be pruned
down at least two thirds, in fact some
business men say that 80 per cent Of
the sales Of stamps and stamped paper
at the Moorhead office come from the
wholesale liquor houses. There is one
firm alone which uses over $4,000 an
nually. The stamped envelope item in
this office is immense. The question
now has arisen that as the local office,
II the radical changes indicated by the
order of the Indian department are
carried out, is doomed to a great re-
duction in class, will the contemplated
public. building be erected in Moorhead
as per appropriation obtained by Con-
gresham Stevenson?

Sees GREAT Peril
IN EXTRAVAGANCE
Ut. TALBERT, NEW YORK BANK.
Err, PRoNoUNcEs TT THE MA
TIoNAL AND MOST DAN
GEHOUS OF VICES.

New York, Aug. 1.-Joseph T. Tai
bert, vice president OF the National
City bank and formerly a banker in
Chicago, in an interview with young
woman on a local newspaper, says that
Americas greatest vice is extrava-
gance and that the pace in New York
Is set by Goal Oil Johnnies.'
Extravaganza has become our ma
tional vice, because we have a big
country and the littIest OF us has ideas
and ambitions to match it. The man
who makes $4,000 a year wants just
as good an automobile as his neighbor
who makes 100000. What Is more, he
gets 1t, though he has to mortgage his
home for the price.
1.-THE same thing is true Of other lux
uries. You, for instance, go into a
shop, try on two hats, one priced at
S25 and the other at SIS. You will de-
eide the SIS hat is more becoming
and you will pay the money, whether
you can afford 1t or not, won't your
Dodges Leading Question.
"Are women responsible for the ma
tional vice?'
Mr.. Talbert smiled.
II don't know that a bachelor has
any right to answer that question" he
said, but went on: Few women are
naturally extravagant. AS a sex, you
are much more saving than men. Some
women spend money recklessly, whose
husbands, through Dragging spirit.
have deliberately misled them as to
the amount of their incomes. Women
save in little things more naturally and
cheerfully than men. They are hap
pier In misfortune The cooperation
of sincere intelligent woman is the
best thing any young man can hope
