Farmers Union Resolutions

AT representative meeting of th
farmers of the state of Arkansas
held at Jonesboro, Jan. lst, 1910
the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas: Within the boundaries
of the State of Arkansas, there are
six million acres of land now un
productive, which, if properly
drained, would become at once as
productive as any land in the
United States; and,
Whereas: The farmers of the
State of Arkansas are thoroughly
alive to the necessity of reclaiming
and placing under cultivation, with
out further delay, every available
acre within the state; and,
Whereas: The National Govern
ment, through its Bureau of Drain
age in the Agricultural Department
has about completed a comprehen-
sive drainage survey of several coun-
ties lying along the Mississippi
River in the northeast corner Of
the state with view of retaining
the same for the people thereof;
and,
Whereas: The reclamation of
the wet and overflowed lands of
the state is of equal Importance to
the commercial interests and the
farmers, therefore be it
Resolved: That this convention
select six representative farmers,
who shall act as committee for
the purpose of securing such muni-
cipal, state, and federal aid as may
be possible in securing the complete
reclamation of the wet and over
flowed lands of Arkansas, and the
adequate Improvement of the streams
in the drainage area; and be it fur
ther,
Resolved; That Mr.. G. A. Cole,
State President of the Farmers
Union, be one of our committee,
and hereby empowered to conduct
such negotiations with the CONNER
cial bodies of the state as will Sc
cure the selection of their com
mittee and its cooperation with the
committee of farmers selected by
this convention, and be 1t further,
Resolved: That it is the sense of
this convention that the cooperation
between the farmers and business
men of this state should be so
thorough and active as to not bring
about the reclamation of the lands
above referred to, but also lead to
The complete development of the
Vast resources of this state, which
have heretofore been neglected, and
Of which the outside world has lit
lie, if any knowledge.

WIDENING OF HOLLENBECK
COURT is RECOMMENDED

Acting on the suggestion of City En-
gineer Hamlin the board of public
works will recommend to the council
that Hollenbeck court be widened from
Chicago to St. Louis streets. This street
is now little more than an alley, as it
is but ten feet wide. Mr. Hamlin
would have it widened to forty feet and
all the land for the increased width
taken from the grounds Of the Santa
Fe hospital.
The property owners who will be as
sessed for this improvement are in
favor of it and have petitioned that
some such step be taken.

QUIZ ASPIRANTS FOR
POLICE FORCE STARS
112 Applicants for Positions in
Department Are Given
Civil Service Test

One of the largest classes of appli-
cants that has ever applied for posi-
tions on the police force was put
through the civil service test by Ex~
aminer F. M. Dee at the Grand avenue
school yesterday.
There were 112 aspirants for stars,
some of them already serving as
emergency appointees. Those who
have been serving in an emergency
capacity will receive a certain per-
centage for experience.
But with the percentage of fallures
that always occur in an examination
of this kind to be reckoned with, there
will not be enough who pass to I'LL
the vacancies in the police force. With
twenty sergeants to be appointed from
the list of eligibles who are all mem
bers of the force now, there will be
twenty vacancies for patrolmen from
this cause alone. The council has pro-
vided for an increase of about eighty
additional patrolmen, making total
addition to the force of 100 men, 1t
is hardly to be expected that 100 out
of 112 will pass the rigid test, and
if they did the supply of available
men would be exhausted by immediate
appointments. That would leave the
police department without eligibles to
draw on, and vacancies are constantly
occurring through designations and
discharges.
1t also happens that after some OF
the men are appointed they show
lack of the qualifications to make
good officers and it is found necessary
to drop them.
This is the first time there has been
a lack of material for the police force,
for positions in that department are
considered worth striving for. pa
trolman's net salary the first year is
$1,000, the second year $1100 and the
third year $1,000. In addition to these
amounts each patrolman is allowed
50 a month which he pays into the
police pension fund, and if he is dis
abled while on duty he is retired on
a pension equal to one-half his salary.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Mrs. Josephine

SUPERVISORS MAY GET
BRUNT OF GARBAGE FIGHT
Loading Station Site Selected
Outside City Limits

By selecting a site for his garbage
loading station outside the city limits,
Charles Alexander, the garbage con-
tractor, has probably transferred a
storm of protest from the city coun-
Gil to the board of supervisors. The
site selected is on Indiana street, on
the Covina line, just over the boun-
Diary line of the city and county. The
public welfare committee of the coun-
ell viewed the place yesterday under
the direction of Attorney H. J. Goudge
and seemed pleased with the selection.
Samuel Rees, VIII has been one Of
the strongest protestants against the
garbage loading station on Also street,
called on the mayor yesterday to sug-
gest a location for the garbage dump.
He would have, it dumped on a large
tract of land owned by the city near
IngleWood. This land comprises more
than 500 acres and was purchased by
the city when the outfall sewer was
constructed. The land is not fertile
and Mr.. Rees believes that if the gar
bage was dumped on it for a number
of years and turned under the soil it
would enrich the land and make a
valuable asset for the city.

William strickIsna Suicides.

PREscoTr, Ariz., April 20-Lift- ing d glass containing cyanide of potassium to his lips and with the words: This is my portion of the property" William Strickland, an assayer oI Wickenburg, drank the deadly draught and ended his life in tragic manner.
 The earthly troubles that led to the suicide were due to financial despondency and were precipitated by unpaid bills, it is said. He had been warned that unless certain obligations were met, his property, consisting mainly of personal effects, would be seized, and as a creditor entered to make the final demand, Strickland met him at the door, and with the deadly poison in the glass uplifled, uttered the dramatic sentence quoted above.
 He staggered to his bed, and fall ing upon It, was dead in few min- utes.
 The deceased was d man of unus ual attalnments and melallurgica learning, graduating from Heidel burg, Ill Germany, from technical school in England, and the Colum- hla School of Mines in New York. He had been resident of che southern portion of the county for about fonr years. and was recog- nlzed as q man of mining ability. H5 was about 70 years of age and d native of England At one time in his early life he WIS man of wealth, and had charge of many big mining companies, as we'll as attaining fame as all instructor in metallurgy.
 Deceased was we'll known in No gales where he ran an assay office at one time He ran an assay office at Magdalena likewise, and had visited many different parts of Sonora He was photographer also, and following that line he tra elled in nearly all parts of Sonora. Some six or eight years ago Henry Stuart, now at Nogales, and Strickland travelled together in the photographing business, cov- ering almost the entire state.
