ELDORADO PAVING
STREETS WITH GRAVEL

FL Dorado, July 30.-Preparations
are made to start the work of lay
ing gravel in the north paving and the
Oak street paving districts, and if
there is no hitch to delay the gravel
ought to be here within the next week
or ten days. All the streets have been
graded up to the proper level and all
slrplus trash removed. There is some
agitation to pave the streets around
the square with brick or concrete, and
this may possibly be done after the
gravel is down.
After the graveling is finished Ell
Dorado will be one of the best improv-
ed towns in the state for her size.
There are few towns twice her size
that has as many concrete sidewalks.
\ little over a year ago the town
passed an ordinance compelling one
to put down concrete sidewalks.

BURCLARIES FREQUENT
IN RUSSELLYILLE

Petty burglares are becoming so
frequent as to be a matter of concern
to all, and steps should be taken to
put an end to it. Naturally it is a sit
uation which the officers would find
it hard to cope with unaided, and
about the best plan would be for ev-
erV householder to see that doors and
windows are securely locked at night,
arrange some kind of burglar alarm
when practicable, and then keep a
good gun for ready use when an un-
usual noise is heard. Man knoweth
not the hour when the thief will come
in the night, neither does he know
the night. For these reasons it would
be impossible even for a dozen police
officers on constant duty to watch all
sections of the city and prevent these
burglaries. But every citizen can con-
slider himself a police officer for his
own home and be constantly on watch.
This would soon put an end to petty
thievery, whether it be by tramps or
other itinerants, or as many believe,
some one at home who is more or less
familiar with the places he enters.
The latest burglary reported is at
the home of the city's nightwatchman,
Mr.. Youngblood. Monday night be-
tween IL o'clock and day someone en-
tered the house and secured $3.50 in
cash. leaving the bill book in which
the money was found, on the steps,

STATES COTTON IS GOOD
MAY MAKE 5000 BALES THIS
YEAR-3,0 900 ACRES IN
CULTIVATION.

Little Rcck, July 30.-Several cot
ton bolls have been received here from
the state convict farm in Lincoln
ounty, showing the crop to be about
three weeks behind last year. The
bolls are about the size of a walnut,
and give every evidence of fine con-
dition. The state has 5000 acres
planted in cotton, which is / 900 more
than was in cultivation last year. The
crop last year amounted to l 200 bales
and sold at 16 cents a pound, bring
ing $120, 900 to the pententiary fund.
This year it is believed that the crop
will reach 5000 bales, with as fine
staple as was raised last year. Su-
perintendent Pitcock of the state pen
itentiary says the crop on the farm
is far better than was expected a
month ago, and he is proud of the re-
suits accomplished by J. f. McCook,
the warden.
S. Cohn, superintendent of cooks of
the entire penitentiary, returned from
the state farm yesterday, after a
weeks inspection of the camps at that
place. He says the men are in fine
condition and are being well fed and
take care of by the officials on the
farm. Mr.. Cohn says there are 400
convicts now at work on the farm,
all of whom are in perfect health, the
hospitals being entirely empty.
The report from the farm yesterday
made everybody around the state
house happy, as the penitentiary is in
a fair way to liquidate its entire debt
with the result of this years cotton
crop. The $4,000 received from the
farm last year includes cotton and
cotton seed that was sold.

said against Mr.. Martin, he was not

by delegates from both Faulkner anC

Mr. Martin has therefore been de

Faull ner and White counties, to make
the race for state senator in opposi-
ton to A. C. Martin, the Yell county
citizen. who claims the nomination.
Should Mr.. Griffin run, there is no
question but what he would be elected,

Mr.. Eberhart and Forestry Board Meet
To Devise Means To Combat
Woods Fires.

st. Paul, May 2s-In connection
with the efforts being made to bring
order out of the chaos existing in the
states forest fire protection service,
Governor Eberhart Is planning to rec.
ommend q combination of the forestry
board, the. forestry commission and
the state game and fish commission.
The hsh and game commission has
many employees whose duty 10 to pre-
vent violations of the game and fish
laws. The governor believed these
deputies, wardens and assistants could
all be used for the purpose Of guard.
ing against forest fires.
The first step was taken BY Gov
ernor Eberhart and the state forestry
board to secure better and more EN-.
cient fire protection for the forests Of
northern Minnesota.
The governor met with the state for.
estry board and made recommends.
tions, which will undoubtedly be &C.
cepted and acted upon. He recon.
mended that additional information be
secured relative to forest fires. their
causes and methods of protection. He
called attention to the fact that the
present commissioner had no relation
to the forestry board and thought that
some plan should be involved by
which the forestry commission and
the forestry board should work in har.
mony.
No special reference was made to
the present commissioner, Gen. c. C.
Andrews, but it is understood that the
governor believes the commissioner
should be held responsible either to
the forestry board or to the executive
instead Of being responsible to the
auditor, as is the case.
