Pure Food for Poultry.
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor 0f The Star.
 Dear Sir:-Here is something for everybody to know, that eggs are flayored by what a hen eats.
 The digestive system of all an- imals are really living filters. The thread-like projections on the interior of the intestines as they reach into the food have the power, in great measure, to take up the particles which are net dt d by the body, and to reject the other. Here the greater part of impurities are thrown off in the excrement; however, in the ovi- duct, the Altering process is con- tinued so that generally nothing but pure food elements enter into the composition of the egg.
 It Is known that certain feeds, such as onions, will taint the eggs, but it is claimed that the material which causes the taint- ing IS not au ilnpurity. However, it is possible that if the hen is fed on a great deal of impure feed she is liable to produce con- tamiuated eggs. This cannot continue for very long period, however. without resulting in the Arrangement of the oyiduct. It Is no doubt due to the fact that many of the ailments of the ovi- duct, such as gangreeu and simi lar disorders, originate.
 The poultry raiser should make an effort to prevent the laying hens from taking too much impure food intoth systs ms. uotthere is any great danger of 1t conta minat ing the eggs, but for the reason that 1t will be the means of caus- Ing disorders which will result in the entire suppression of the pro- dustion of eggs. k.

TIMBER SEIZED
Forestry Officers Take Charge of 675 Ties, Which Were Gut on Govern
 ment Land Near Rich Mountain.

Guy Brewer, assistant Forest ranger on the Arkausas National Forest, has seized in the name of the United States 400 standard railroad ties and 275 standard switch ties. The ties were cut and hauled from United States governme nj land uear K ch Noun tain, by Walter G. Bunch.
 MT. Buuch had purchased eighty acres of land from D. K. Frizzell, and made an attempt to get the county surveyor to survey out his land. Mir. Imoe, tbe surveyor, was sick and MT. Bunch called on his neighbors to loca c the land he had purchased. The land had not been surveyed, but they attempted to show him what they thought to be his land. And on this information he cut and re- moved the ties.
 If the entire transaction proves to be free of fraud, MT. Brewer will probably assist the owner to get his patent changed to the land he has been cutting timber on and release the ties.

AFTER THE HODGES AGAIN
Officers Gather in Men Charged With Vagrancy. Who Are Put to Work
 on Streets.

Some of the down town streets had good cleanup Tuesday and as result look very much inn proved. The work was done by a gang of men arrested for va graucy. h the residerce district the people have for some time been annoyed aud troubled by great number of hoboes, who seemed to think that Mena was an easy pace to get living with out working for it. Early last Tuesday the tfficers, under direc tion of Chief of Police Joplin, had roundup and came in with eight men, who were taken before Police Judge Alexander aud fined, six of them getting s and costs for vagrancy and the other two $l0 and costs for plain drunks. Ssven of the meu were taken out with the city wagon to clean up the streets. The other one claimed to be sick and was left in jail.
 This is the same method which was used last winter to assist in keeping the town from beiug over ruu with professional hoboes and also keeping the streets in better condition. It has the disadvau- tage of at times humiliating an honest mau, out Of money sand employment, by being arrested, but from the complaints from over the city, it is evident that there have been great numbers of lazy, impudent tramps and this work system certainly helps rid the town of such characters.

Wou'd ike to Be Back in Mena.

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir:-Have you room in your columns to let stranger in? 1 am away back West, entirely out of hearing of Arkansas. 1 have not heard one word of straight news from the Ozarks since left Mena, April IT. 1 have been anxious all the while t, keep up with proceed ings around Mena, but have been hustling to get my business school before the people of New Mexico and have neglected many important matters, one of which, was to sub- scribe for The Star.
 1 wish I were back there long enough to shake hands with all the good people in Polk county. I left Mena twice but the Lord knows that l left neither time from choice. If past disappointments could be for gotten, and I had the claim on Col lege Hill that 1 thought once had, 1 would be almost tempted to return again. When I first saw the charms around Mena I said that it was the garden spot of the world, and my judgment has never changed. 1 am not dissatisfied with New Mexico,
 
 however. This is great country great in many ways. No trouble for a hustler to make money here, but it takes shrewd man to hold it. The altitude is not the only thing that is high in this country. Eggs 40 cents per dozen, beef 20 cents per pound, other things in proportion. Property is very high. If one has home he is fixed, but without hone or a large bank account there are no inducements here.
 The greatest mystery ever dis covered in New Mexico are the "bot- tomless lakes" twelve miles from Roswell. They have been sounded to 250 feet and the bottom Is yet un- known. The water is clear and cool, but man and beast would per ish on their banks. They are small Look just like large cisterns. The ground is hollow all about. A horse trotting along the road makes noise like beating on a barrel. It looks dangerous. but houses are standing on their banks.
 The climate here is simply delight ful. Sun shines all winter, just a few cold days now and then. The sand storms in spring and early sum- mer are little tough on strangers.

VOTE TO FORM
 NEW DISTRICT Property Owners of West Fifth Avenue Aired Their Troubles at Meeting
 Last Night.
WAS OPPOSITION TO TT
M. A. Austin and Others Speak Mayor TOney son the Car pet'-COmmittee
 is Named.

Although opposition developed at a meeting of the property o&ners of West Fifth avenue, held atSthe Board of Trade headquarters last night for the purpose of taking yinitial steps for the formation of a new improve-5 ment district to bring about the re-
 paving of that tbproughfare, two- thirds of the weaathiest propertN owners on th.at stfeet finally voted to form the new district for the pur- rose of paving the street over fits present gravel vement, which ghas teen in use for seve enteen yearsS A committee, composed of P. P/ Byrd, Fred Senyard and Captain R M. Gal hraith was named to make all inves- legations into cost county and city appropriations, if any, material to be Used, etc., and to report back to meeting to be called later to make preliminary arrangements for the work.
 The meeting last night was presid- Cd over by Dr. J. L. Caldwell and Pinchback Taylor was elected secre- dd tary. M. A. Austin fired the first bomb, deelaring that he was opposed to new improvement district for Fifth avenue. He said he had al- ways favored improvement districts, but that he did not believe the prop erty owners of his street shoull be taxed further individually, in view of the fact that they had never received financial aid from either the city or county in improvement work, except ing about $2,500 which wyas appro- priated to repair the street, but the money was used to take up the re- r1aining bonds of the old graveling district. He said he was opposed to creosoted blocks, having no faith n their durability, and with the neg ligence of the city in making repairs and the abuse the street would doubt less be subjected to, he did not be- i.eve that or any other pavement would be Of value. He charged tho water company and the plumbers with failing to repair the streets of the city properly and asserted that if the property owners voted to form the new district and tax themselves for such improvement it would set a bad precedent in that it would nat urally result in the county and city appropriations from the tax fund be- i1.g sidetracked in the future, when appropriations would be needed for street improvement in this city. Lat CT when the fifteen of the twenty two property owners present voted to form the improvement district, MT. Austin termed their action an out rage.
 Speeches were also made by Judge John M. Elliott, who favored the dis

SERVICE SUIT
 GOES UP HIGHER Transcript Filed in Supreme Court of Suit F'ilo.l by City Against Pine Bluff
 Corporation. INJUNCTION DENIED
INJUNCTION DENIED
Brought By City Attorney SorreIls Some Months Ago and Vigorously Prosecuted in Chancery
 Court.

Little Rock. May G.-There was tiled ln the Supreme Court this morn- ing q rather interesting transcript of appeal in which the Pine Bluff Cor noration and the City of Pine Bluff are the ltigants. The Pine Bluff Corporation succeeded the old water and light company of Pine Bluff, and has been operating under the fran chse to that company by the city council of Pine Bluff.
 Several months ago the Pine Bluff City council passed an ordinance re- quiring the water corporation to ex- tend it's service pipes to the curbs snd repair all leaks in them when they occurred. The old ordinance required the property owner to pay Tor the connection with the mains of the water company, and for laying of the pipe from the curb to the mains.
 When the ordinance went into ef- feet the Pine Bluff Corporation went into the Jefferson chancery court and asked for a restraining order. It was denied to it for want of equity and the case has been appealed to the higher court.
 Mayor w. L. Toney and other off, cials of Pine Bluff are made party defendants in the suit. The suit was brought by City Attorney w. B. Sor- rells and has been vigorously prose- Cuted by him.

6ID MAN DIES FROM NEGLECT
 Wesley McGehee, Ex-Con- l federate, Took Drug Be- lieved With Suicidal ! Intent.
DIED AT POOR HOUSE:
|City Physician, County Physician, Mayor TOney and Others Were Appealed
 To.

An overdose of some drug, believed 1 to have been taken with suicidal in- |tent, resulted in the death of Wes- Hey M. McGehee, 70 years old, an ex- Confederate soldier and one of the oldest and best known residents of this city, at an early hour yesterday norning. The old man died at the Jefferson county poor house, where |Ee was sent by County Judge James Gould after City Physician W. H. 3ankenship and County Physician A. gE. Loving had been requested to "come down town" and attend him, out did not do so. Mayor w. l.. Toney, who was appealed to at 5
 o'cock in the morning for some as- sistance for the old man is said in-
 formed those who made the request
 that he would be down town at 8
 o'clock and would have the old man
 cared for. MT. McGehee died within
 short time after he was taken to
 the county hospital and it was stat cd by those who spent nearly four
 hours trying to get medical attention
 for him that they believed his life
 might have been saved had one of
 the physicians responded. The old
 man was observed in an unconscious
 stupor at 3 o'clock yesterday morn
 ing, seated in chair in the office of 1the Temple Bar, Fourth avenue and
 State street. H. Cromwell, who was
 on duty at the time, had his atten-
 tion called to the man by visitor at
 the place. The visitor stated that
 he was medical student and that McGehee was suffering from some
 kind of poison. He urged immediate
 attention and declored that he would
 cie unless given it. Not being
 licensed physician the man would
 rot administer to him. MT. Crom-
 we'll called Dr. H. B. Williams over
 the phone and was told that Dr. w.
 fl. Blankenship was the city physi-
 clan. He then called Dr. Blanken-
 ship, but Dr. Blankenship refused to
 respond. He stated last night that
