ODDIE Tells OF
RECORD BREAKING
EXPERIENCES

Have / met with encouragement /
in my trip through the state?" said
T. L. Oddie, candidate for governor,
In response to a query yesterday, |
says the Goldfield Tribune. Have
1? Well, yes-and then some. I
have met with nothing but encour-
agement. 1 want to tell you some
thing. The miners of this state
want to see mas who knows
them and their wants in the COVER
nor's chair, and if they can put me
there, they will do it.
I'm not talking now of the re-
publican miners alone. l mean all
of them. The same condition exists
among business and professional
men. Why, at Fallon the demo-
Gratis refused to let the republicans
contribute toward my expenses, and
insisted on furnishing me with gaso-
line themselves. That's the kind of
friends 1 have through the state
and l can tell you things look very
bright to me.
Speaking of donations of gaso-
line, l have had so much presented
to me and shipped ahead that l be-
lieve there is sufficient amount
along the route ahead of me to car
ry me through to the end of my
journey.
You ask why l have so many
friends among the miners. l will
tell you. In the old days of Tono-
pah and Lucky Boy. the fact that
the scale was maintained is princi-
pally due to the efforts of Jim But
Ter, my partner, and myself. We
paid high wages and forced the
other fellows into line. Miners are
a superior class of labor. They DE-
not forget their friends, and / wa!
never more convinced of it than
am now, after having travelled thu
far in my machine-about which

Some individuals, animated b,
childish motives or petty spite, hav

That is nothing more nor les

WILL DIVERSITY CROPS.
Farmers in Phillips County Will Gut
Cotton Acreage.

Helena.-The idea of diversifeation
in crop cultivation is gaining hold
upon the farmers of Philips county
This county possesses splendid soil,
producing from one-half to two bales
of cotton per acre; corn, alfalfa and
other crops and within the last several
months has demonstrated it's adapta-
bility to rice culture. Messrs Rich
ardson & Keesee, on an area of ten
acres on their Lake Village planta-
ton, 20 miles south of Helena, last
year demonstrated that rice of the
highest quality could be raised ON
their plantation. So encouraged wcre
the owners that they are this year
seeding to rice 400 acres, having in
stalled a pumping plant, completed
levees, etc, and predict that 0theg
planters Of this county will plant
large acreage of rice. These planters
are also planting 5 acres in oats and
ten acres in sugar cane, and after the
oat crop is harvested the same land
will be sowed in COW peas, thus pro-
ducing two crops. While they have
no fear of the boil weevil invading
this county, they are, nevertheless,
placing themselves in position to ba
prepared in case they are mistaken in
their judgment in this respect. Sew
eral other planters, among whom 10
Lee Pendergrass, are also planting rice
this season.
Hog raising is another departure for
the Phillips county farmer which il
growing popular. Several of the larg-
est planters have purchased many hogs
and the coming year will probably wit
ness more hogs than ever before raised
in Phillips county.

BY LANDVOIGT & VADAKIN
WANT COMMISSION FORM.
Little Rock Tires of It's Cumbersome
Aldermanic system.

Little Roek.-The hide-a seek play
enacted by the Little Rock board Of
aldermen during the past week over
lieve Mayor w. X. Duley, which result
ed in the selection of Alderman Rogos-
XII, has made many friends for the pro-
posed commission form of governments
for cities and towns of this state.
When the matter was first was suggest
ed there was considerable opposition
to the change. The objections raised
have been gradually dissipated, until
there Is hardly substantial citizen Of
Little Rock who will not gladly well
come the commission form of govern
ment for the city as a Substitute for
the cumbersome and very unsatisfae-
tory board of aldermen plan. The bill
to be presented in the next legislature
has already been drafted and copies will
be sent to nj 1.-The cities of the first
and second class in the state for inspec-
tion. As far as heard FROM the move
ment meets with general satisfaction.
and, with the exception of few de-
tails, meets with universal approval
Some of the advocates of the change
desire that the officers to govern the
cities shall be appointed by the gvoer-
nor, while others are eontemding that
they be elected. The latter plan has the
approval of majority of those in
charge of the movement, and the bill
as prepared provides that all the prin-
cipal officers shall b eeleeted and sub
ordinate officials be appointed by the
mayor. Those in charge of the move
ment will ask Governor Donaghey to
recommend the passage of the bill by
the next legislature in his biennial mes
sage.

Hot Springs to Lose Shops.

Hot Springs. Are which DESTROY.
ed the machine shops of the Pine Bluff
and Hot Springs Western Railroads in
terrnpted the long fight local business
organizations have been making to re-
tain the shops in this city. When the
Missouri Pacific announced the merger
of all it's smaller lines in this state
with the main system the business or
CARNATIONS here protested and secured
an agreement whereby the local shops
and local institutions of the short line
were TO remain intact for a period of
at least one year The shops, paint
house, two engines. one new passenger
ear, motor car and the sheds of the
road were destroyed by fire, the loss
being estimated at $4,000 There is
no doubt but that the railroad will
abandon any thought of rebuilding
here, but instead will carry out the
original plan of merging this line and
have the repairs done at Little Rock,
whore the central Offices are located.
The fire is believed TO have originated
through "a tramp who took refuge in
the roundhouse or paint shop from the
cold, and getting thoroughly chilled,
probably started fire, which spread
beyond his control.

Iron Mountain to Protect Tracks.

Little Rock.-Aceording to informa-
ton received here the Iron Mountain
management has determined to build
hog tight - fence from st. Louis 10
Texarkana, distance of 494 miles,
and work of construction will be start
ed soon. The main line, as well m
practically all other lines of the Iron
Mountain, is fence, barbed or other
wire being used. This, it is understood,
has reduced materially the loss of
stock by death on the line of the Iron
Mountain, as the four strands of wire
prevent cows and horses from reaching
the rails. But hogs, goats, sheep and
small calves find no hindranee from this
wire, and it is stated that the Iron
Mountain will fence this long stretch
with woven wire so that the smaller
stock will also be barred from the
tracks.
