SLIPPED BACK A LITTLE-After

ten days of bravely holding its own
the Roosevelt reservoir yesterday
slipped back a little and scored the loss
Of 525 acre feet of water, the elevation
being, l67 feet even, as against 1918.
But its all right. That little bunch of
water would never have irrigated more
than about so much land anyway and
that is what it has been saved for.

DONAGHEY MAKES
 WELCOME ADDRESS

Little Rock, Ark, May 16.-Gov. George w. Donaghey. in welcoming the Confed- crate veterans on behalf of Arkansas, to- day said:
 Veterans of the Confederacy-More than half a century after the beginning
 of the war between the states. thousands upon thousands of people have come here from all parts of the south to honor the Confederate soldiers. Hundreds of thou
 sands who cannot be here join us in pay | ing tribute of our affection. Those lot here in person are here in spirit and all | over the sunny south the hearts of the people are turned today to this city, where
 are now gathered together more soldiers
 of the Confederacy than will ever again
 be assembled in this world. You are worthy of the honor.
 | Tn behalf of the people of this great
 state bid you welcome to Arkansas. We
 are delighted to honor you, not only for
 the bravery you exhibited on hundred battlefeds, but for the no less splendid
 courage you manifested in the hour of disaster and defeat.
  various causes that led you to organize
 the Confederate government Your case
 has been stated with unanswerable logic by Mississippis great statesman, Jeffer-
 son Davis. Nor need I stop to go over in detail the history of your great struggle, the battles lost, the victories won. Suffice lit to say that though greatly outnum- bered you maintained your cause through four long and weary years. "Generatlons yet unborn will be thrilled with the recital of your heroic deeds, and your devotion to liberty will stand forever as an inspiration to mankind When the future historian shah write the name of those who won immortality in that great struggle, our beloved state will contribute it's share to tie list of honor. History will keep alive the names of the generals and commanding officers.
 But what of the private soldier, humble and unknown to fame, who went forth to battle that his country might be free?
 Upon every southern state there rests Ne imperative obligation to procure the name of every one of its Con .ederate sol dicrs and preserve the sacred roll in its archives forever"

FIRE DESTROYS
 DONELSON HOME John Donelson Displays Heroism in Rescuing
 His Father

The residence of John Donelson, 111O North Twenty-fourth street, was de- stroyed by fire yesterday morning at $40 o'clock. John Donelson, who is a well known contractor, was painfully burned about the head and face as a result of rescuing his father. J. B. Donelson, Sr., from the fire.
 The elder MT. Donelsons,was i'll when the fire broke out and was unable to get out of the burning building owing to weakness from an operation. All the members of the family dressed hurriedly and rushed out when the fire was dis covered with the exception of MT. Donel- son.
 The family gathered on the street when if was discovered that MT. DOneson would be unable to get out unassisted. John Donelson rushed back into the burning dwelling and forcing his way through the worst of the fire brought his father to safety wrapped In blan- ket.
 The damage done by the fire was about s25OO. The building was totally destroyed and a large part of the furniture. The fire was of unknown origin and had gained considerable headway when dis covered by member of the family. The fire department responded to the alarm but 1t was too late to save the house. By good work the 'laddies" kept the flames from spreading to adjoining res idences

TREATY YDRAF TED
 ON ARBITRATION

Washington, May 16-The proposed treaty of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain, upon which rests the hope of the English-speaking E peoples for permanent peace between the two great nations, which probably will be model for peace pacts with other nations, has at last reached the stage where it Is to be presented to the British government for approval.
 Ambassador Bryce of Great Britain, be- fore the cabinet met today, had a half hour conference with President Taft when certain points in the treaty were discussed. This was the final conference. The treaty was presented to the cabinet for its approval and apparently 1t was satisfactory.
 The tentative draft probably will be sub mitted tomorrow to Ambassador Bryce for transmission to the British foreign office.
