AMERICAN GEM MINES.

1t isn't every man who can own
gem mine and keep it solely to serve
as a source of supply for gems to use
as gifts to his friends. That is what
Col. d. c. Collier, of San Diego does.
Col. Collier, who is director-gencral
of the Panama California Exposition,
1915, is pronounced by many persons
to be a typical westerner." He
ought to be, for he was born in Col
orado, has been over all of the Rocky
Mountain and coast states, and, al
though still young, was pioneer in
San Diego. If you should chance to
see anyone wearing transparent,
violet-colored stone, you would be
pretty safe in assuming that you had
run across one of Golfers numerous
friends, for that is the kind of gem
which the colonel gives to his friends,
and thus far has refused all sorts of
tempting offers to sell. The gem
mines OF San Diego County are world
famous, and the exhibit from them
to be made at San Diego's big Pana-
ma Exposition will be of wonderful
interest.

BASEBALL NEWS.

In the longest and most exciting game
witnessed on the local grounds in late
years. Capt. Roots ball tossers handed
the Frederick All-Stars hard defeat on
Saturday afternoon. The game which
started out to be a walk-over for the
locals went IA innings of the hardest kind
of play. Creeger's slide to third in the
sixth proved costly to the young slab
artist, the shake up and a bruised elbow
causing him to weaken enough to permit
the visitors tie the score in the ninth.
However, to the victor goes the spoils,
so to Eddie goes the credit of the victory.
Besides smashing out home run, win

back of him did excellent work; DR..

With the team going at the rate they
are now, it is to be regretted that town
of this size cannot support them better.
There are expenses attached to the
game besides the guarantee and these

MANY TREATIES.

The State Department has been
making numerous treaties with the
various civilized nations-with Great
Britain, Germany, France, Japan;
treaties of commerce, peace, comfy
aid arbitration. But among the
most important treaties are those of
Nicaragua and Honduras, involving
national loans guaranteed by the GUS
toms receipts. These treaties are not
yet ratified by the Senate, but the
State Department hopes they will he
almost any day, believing that they
will prevent future revolutions and
result in full protection to American
interests in those countries. Nicara-,
qua especially is the scene OF much
activity by American colonizers and
investors, and only assurance Of peace
and protection is needed.,-to insure
the development of the great resources
Of that country.

"DOlNG" UNCLE SAM.

The cunning and finesse shown by
people who wish to defraud the Gov
eminent of revenue duties is remark
able. New York importers have been
especially successful at this game, and
the extent of their operations may be
gagged by the fact that they were
made to hand over millions OF dollars
for duties they had lodged. The
Italian lemon importers are the lat
est to have been circumvented, but
the Government had to revise the
regulations for the importation OF
lemons in order to head them of, and
it took eight months to find out how
to meet the case. Aided by an al
most unlimited "slush fund" put up
by the Sicilian lemon growers, and
by very shrewd and resourceful law
yers who are spending money lavish
ly to buy magazine and newspaper
space, the Italian importers are now
seeking to have the tariff revised in
their interest. This is not the first
time foreign interests have tried to
shape legislation in Congress, but it
is one of the boldest. Meanwhile the
only thing that keeps lemons cheap
is the competition of the homegrown
article, which is really better than
Sicil!an.

He said he was opposed, however,
to women having the right of suffrage,

FROM HIS HOME PAPER
WHAT THE T E X MAN THINKS OF SENATOR ERIE
 DELL'S ATTITUDE.

Under the captain, Related Mes sage" the Texarkana Texarkaniar has the following to say of Senator Friedell of that city:
 Senator Friedell is quoted as say ng upon his return to Little Rock
 rom a visit to Texarkana Saturday nd Sunday, that he had been ques- toned ty many people here anent the
 easons for the extra session; all cx- pressing doubt as to the wisdom of the call, and all demanding the legis- lature adjourn. The Texarkanian thinks Senator Friedell is delivering the message of Texarkana people rather late. He visited his home town several times during the regu- lar session, and if he did not learn on

WATERWORkS

The waterworks are down and out temporarily, and just when the clear, sJarAing waters ot Point Remove will go ripping through the mains, we know not. Monday night the council got wise and ordered the hydrants flushed" and Tuesday morning the
 arrangement complied with the coun- cirs demands, and that's where tAe trouble began. Several days ago heavy rains on the Canadian river n Oklahoma put that stream up, and 8 r,ch, red chocolate rise of about four teet came down here, and as our boii- CTS were net equipped with a mud evapolatol, they refused to work and went oa a strike, and until the rive falls or the creek rises sufficient to give the boilers water for steaming.

those occasions that the sentiment was for the do-nothing legislature to adjourn, then Judge Friedell does not possess the powers of observation for which the Texarkanian gives him credit.
 Not only have the people of Tex arkana clamored for something like three months that the session and the expense should end, but those of the entire state as well.
 But the voice of the people has been ignored by the senate politicians until it seemed to suit their own ends. "Gentlemen, you are playing cheap politics. You know it. And what is far worse for you, the people are also | aware of the fact.
 You are seeking to embarrass Governor Donaghey, but it requires I no seventh son to foresee that your cheap tactics are likely to prove boomerangs that will swat several of you into the oblivion from which pea nut politicians seldom return. "The people are onto you"

INDFBTFDNfSSNOW
 COVERED BY NOTES
0UACHITA-CENTRAL FREED
NOTES FOR $50,000 CONSIGNED TO FLAMES AT ARKA-
 DELPHIA.

From the Baptist Advance the Log Cabin Democrat reproduces the fol lowing story of the progress on the OuachitaC Central financial campaign:
 Tuesday was June 6 and our people want to know about the college situa- tion. We'll, S50,000 worth of notes went up in the flames. Of these S25,- 900 had been paid before our las. convention and S25,000 had been paid since then.
 Brother Bowers announced that S2.- 70 was yet needed to wind out the i o,O00 that we started out to raise Y i this commene ement. Some more he roic giving was done in sums of from f25J down to $500 and the whole amount Of the deficit on the S30000 was covered, the amounts to be pald tl.s very week; and the last time we saw J. G. Harris he had his hands full of cheeks.
 The entire indet tedness is now cov- cred by good notes, more than SAC. .000 of it being on the S50,O0O guarantee notes. Brother Bowers can call these in now and before long we will let am say when, Ouachita and Central shall be free.
 We understand that the board of trustees recommended to the state convention that the charters of the colleges be so changed that they car never again be mortaged This is il keeping with the plans set out at tn. opening of this campaign. l Now the hope of entirely payin, these debts depends solely on those having promised, paying up theil notes in full We are not out of deb until this is done; but we are out |. it is done.
 Let all the people rejoice with us.
 Philadelphia did nobly on this fina pull, paying at least half of the bal ance due on the $30,0O0 in addition to the $10,000 they guaranteed toward the $50000.
 Brother Bowers has raised more than S6O, ,000 in cash since he has beer in this educational work and has se cured S50,00O more in good subscrip tions on the debt.
 A gift of S750 from Rev. w. A Forbes and another of $75O from Rev P. c. Mays were announced, the mon ey being used to purchase more ground for the industrial home. It is pro posed to enlarge this home so that i may accommodate at least 50 youne ladies. The property was bought from Prof. Warren I. Moore, wht gave $500 off on the price of the prop erty.
 A gift of S100O was also announc. cd ty pr. A. U. Williams toward help ing purchase an athletic field. He also said that he would help pay foi every other piece of land that Ouachi. ta sees fit to purchase.

la, the new management to take charge July 1, says the Morrilton Headlight. This business change came as a surprise to our citizens and in truth surprise to Mr. Frisby for he had not contemplated the sale cf the Morrilton exchange. He went to Little Rock on that day to figure or the sale of the Heber Springs proper ty but received such a hattering offer for the two that his financial acumen would not permit him to refuse. We were not given the selling price for publication but it was far above the average, and the genial MT. Frisby IS now wearing the contented smile Of a ''bloated bondholder."
 Who will manage the exchange in the future is not known yet. It is nos beyond reason that the Southwestern Telephone Company is behind this move and if this should prove the case we can look for extensive improve ments in few months. Mir. Frisby IS as yet undecided as to the future but as he still retains his business property here it is likely that he will take it easy for while and confine himself to arduous work of making his monthly rental collections He has given us good telephone service and we regret to see him out of the busi- ness, but congratulate him on the sue cessful trade.
