about by orchard heating. MI.
Troutman stated that the special COM
mittee of the horticultural society, OF
which he was a member, had arrang-
ed to supply. the fruit growers OF the
Canon City district with heating pots
and oil for fuel at absolute cost and
that there was no reason why every
faneter should not be prepared TO
fight the frost this spring if need be.
Oil would be furnished at four and
one-half cents per gallon.
d. n, Cooper, on behalf of the F're-
mont County National bank, stated
he had been authorized to say to those
that were without the necessary funds
that the bank would advance all nee
essary money to purchase heating pots
and fuel. The bank, he said, was de-
sirous of doing everything it could
10 promote the fruit growing industry
here and would arrange to provide
whatever cash was needed to pur-
chase heating pots and fuel for orch
ard heating. On motion of Mr.. Trout
man a vote of thanks and apprecia-
tion was extended to the bank for
It's offer of assistance.
d. s. Moore said that it cost him the
sum of two hundred and fifty dollars
To heat four acres of orchard for two
years, which included the purchase of
pots, oil and other equipment. He eX-
pressed the greatest confidence in the
efficiency of orchard heating and said
that he expected TO continue the prac-
tice begun two years ago; feeling as
sured that it was a paying PROPOSE
lion. Mr.. Maddox spoke for the Can
on City Business Mems association
and promised the cooperation of the
OF rganization he represented in case it
vas needed.
The consensus OF opinion among the
speakers was that orchard heating
was a good thing and should be car
ried on by the fruit growers of Fre-
mont county in a systematic and
thorough manner in order to assure
a full corp every year.
Cards were distributed among the
audience for the signature of those
who would agree to heat their orch
ards this spring in the event that
such course was necessary and
many OF them were signed and turned
in to the committee.
The matter of lower express rates
which was scheduled to come up for

STATES HIS IDEAS
Editor Record.

Editor Record
am asking space in your columns
10 venture a few suggestions about
our city affairs. So many fear vicious
or selfish ends are being sought. but
fear to speak. Our interests are here
and We are all interested in the pub
lie good. II this is not true then there
are those who are scheming for self
ish advantages at expense OF the gem
eral good.
Canon City is corporation repre-
senting hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars. Every citizen is a stockholder
according to his or her investment OF
whatever character.
According to majority report of FL
nance Committee. our investments are
encountered to the amount of s57e.-
10000. This, however. is to my mind
misleading to extent OF 1926. 10000. yet
with this on 1t leaves a heavy debt.
Not especially discouraging. Howev-
er. when we consider our assets, this
corporation tsame as II II were pri-
vate) needs most energetic and care
full business methods to safeguard Its
interests. Is 1t right to ask or expect
men to do this without reasonable
compensation? II the next mayor
and council do less than the outgoing
have done. they will have failed 70 do
that which they should DO. II their
work was worth 100000. they should
have It land suppose they have) but
few yfissourians hereabout would
like to be shown how they found out
that their successors will be worth
so little compared to them. ] am glad
in a way we have men who are so
philanthropic they are anxious to do
II for nothing. but here venture to
predict. II they do the work well and
faithfully. according to their oath OF
ONCE. they will be a very tired lot In
two years. and further, II they do
It not well and faithfully. we will be
a very tired city In two years.
Very important matters are to be
acted on at once. The corporation
needs to deal with It's own citizens
or stockholders. A valuable asset 10
our surplus water and right now there
is much uneasiness about this mat
ter. Our deal for lights should be
made with some business care that a
private corporation who would need
four or six thousand dollars worth Of
light in n year. would take. priv
ate corporation would spend money
and best talent obtainable to inyesti-
gate an dsurely would be posted be-
fore signing up. See?
You bet they wouldn't be hunting
n free for nothin'" man. 'Twould
take pages to enumerate the many i'm
portant duties the mayor and council
should and could do, but remember. II
takes hard thinking and energy to
gain private OF public success.
Canon City has above the usual per
cent Of public-spirited citizens who
give money and time to push things
along and they will continue to do
this. But we do not believe the pub
lie wish these same men TO do the
city's business for nothing, but rath-
er. want II done well and pay reason
able for its doing.
Respectfully.

 Large Gains.

Li,de Rock.-The total school popu- latIon of the state, as estimated by J. L. Bond, deputy superintendent of public instruction, shows a healthy increase over that of last year, the increase being 1892, or about 2 per cent. Many counties of the state showed a larger increase ill school population than others, among such being Mississippi, Lee, Jefferson, Crittenden and Chicot. The increase in Pulaski county is about 400
 These figIres were secured from the annual reports of the county ex- aminers and county superintendents, and the state apportionment of the common school funds will be based on this enumeration. The apportion- ment of the school funds will be made hext month by the state board of education, which will convene at the office of the superintendent of pub lie instruction.
 The school population of the state is as follows; White male, 210,266: white female, 200,965; total white children, All, ,231; negro male children, 86,084; negro female children, SS,- 419; total, 74,503, the grand total be- Ing 585, ,7S4.

ATWOOD REACHES TIE
 END OF HIS JOURNEY
Aviator Sails Sercneiy Over Myriad Water Craft, Landing on Gov
 ernor's Island.

New York.-Sailing serenely over New York's myriad water craft, Harry N. Atwood, the Boston aviator, arrived here in his aeroplane, the first man in history to travel 1,265 miles in a heavier than air machine.
 Atwood's safe landing on Governors s Island after flying down from Nyack, N. Y, above the Hudson river through fog which made him only dimly visible to the million eyes that watch ed him, was a notable incident in the annals of aeronautics. He not only broke the worlds record, covering 1,265 miles in an air line or perhaps 100 more miles with his detours, but he flew all the way in the same bi- plane and with no important mishaps
 Atwoods flight is comparable only to that made by fast trains, for he covered the distance in an actual fly ing time of 2S hours and 31 minutes.

Tick Eradication Fight.

c. k. Jett, commissioner from Izard county on the commission of the Northeast Arkansas Tick Eradication District, has recently published an article in the Calico Rock Progress, on the worth of tick eradication work and says that if man does not be- live that ticks will kill cattle, but will furnish a milk COW to make the experiment with, he will demonstrate that they will kill, or if herd of 10 cattle is infected with the Texas fe- yer tick and none of them die, he promises to resign from the commits sion and head a petition to the gov ernor asking him to cali an extra ses- sion of the legislature, for the pur- pose of repeating the tick eradication law. He furthermore proposes that if man is afraid that his cattle will be killed by the arsenic dip and spray, he will insure every COW dip ped according to the rules, against injury or death for 25 cents, for the rest of the tick season. He promises to give bond to pay for the COW if it dies or is injured

Muskogee, Okla.-When, on three different dates between now and the first of February, 1912, the United States government will sell II 900, 900 acres of land belonging to the Choc- taW and Chickasaw nations, the last of the unallotted lands of these tribes, together with over a million acres originally intended as a forest re- serve, will have passed from the con trol of the red men and have gone to their white brothers. Over $20,- G00,000 will be realized for the mem bers of these tribes as a result of the sale.
 Not more than 160 acres of agri- cultural land and GAO acres of other land will be sold to any one pur- chaser, and the terms of sale are 25 per cent at the time of the purchase, 9 per cent in one year and 50 per cent in two years, at per cent in terest.

Must Pay Back Seo.ooo.

The general revenue fund will re- ceive another hard jolt when the $90,- 600 borrowed from the sinking fund by the legislature the first of the year to pay the first expenses of that body is returned to that fund, which the state treasurer advises should be done before the annual apportionment of common school funds. The money has never been returned, because, up until few weeks ago the general revenue fund did not have sufficient money for that purpose. The sinking fund is to pay the interest on school bonds amounting to about $35 ,O00 each year, which sum is turned over to the sinking fund each year before the an- nual apportionment The money was lying idle in the treasury at the time the legislature convened, and was bor- rowed to pay the mileage and per diem, the general revenue at that time being in straitened circum- stances.

To Dispose of Farm Purchase.

The state penitentiary board will very likely dispose of the additional farm purchase resolution at it's meet ing to be held the first Monday in September. Citizens of Lincoln coun- ty, where the state farm is at present located, will make a proposition to the board for the sale of the upland section of that county. Governor Don aghey is opposed to the purchase of another farm at the present time. He says the provisions of the Patterson act permitting counties to take con- victs out of the penitentiary to work on county roads is fast depicting the penitentiary and if many more coun- ties take advantage of the law there will not be enough convicts left in the penitentiary to work another farm. The governor says all the bids sub mitted for the purchase of another farm for the use of white convicts will be carefully considered by the board. He is not in favor of pur- chasing a hill farm, but if another plantation is purchased, he proposes to buy one situated in the valley re- zion of the state.

HOPE OF BUMPER
 CROPS GIVEN UP
Cotton Has Suffered Serious Damage From Excessive
 Moisture.
LOSSES TOTAL IN SECTIONS
Rainfall Is Unprecedented and Corn in Some Localities Is Rottina
 in the Shuck.

Little Rock.-Reports from various parts of Arkansas state that the rain. fall has been excessive and that its continuation without cessation has been unprecedented. All of the re- ports, with a very few exceptions, are to the effect that the cotton crop has been seriously damaged, and that there is no longer any hope that the crop will be bumper one.
 It is claimed that the stalk is go- ing too much to weed, and much of 1t IS shedding it's fruit From Greene county it is reported that the week just ended has been the most unfa- Vcrable one during the entire season. Cotton has been damaged, it is claimed, but corn is good and large yield of late corn is expected. Early corn was practically made before the excessive rains of the past three weeks began, and late corn has not been damaged, is the claim.
 It is claimed that crops in the country of which Stuttgart is the center have not been damaged. Corn is doing well, much of it bidding fair to make 75 bushels to the acre. Rice is looking fine and a few fields will be ready to harvest in the next two weeks.
 From Lewisville it is reported that cotton is opening prematurely, and that the bolls are rotting before they can fully open. The cotton crop is greatly damaged in that section, is the claim, and that nothing like an average crop will be made
 Army" worms have appeared in the section around England, and it is claimed that the cotton is seriously endangered.
 It is the consensus of opinion, ac- cording to reports from all over the state, that the cotton crop is men, aced, and that nothing like the bump CT crop that has heretofore been ex- pected can possibly be made. On the other hand, it is claimed that corn has not been injured and that an eX- ceptionally good yield is expected.
