The other day the writer had oppor.
tunity TO CLEAN a few facts from n
northern cor belt farmer who the
past season had forty acres In beets
and who realizes the amount of atten-
tion which a beet patch Of the size
requires. Ii Is but fair 10 say hat he
had his nerve with him when he tao
kled 80 large II proposition. We found
that of this tract some land vas too
low ana wet to give satisfactory re-
suits. while the highest land i'm the
forty acres was so light and dry that
a very poor stand OF beets was the re-
suit. In spite of these drawbacks he
found on ''sugaring'' OF after the last
ton of beets was aboard the ears that
he had Melted $500 ON the years crop.
or a net return per acre Of $3.50.
While hard 10 determine In terms OF
dollars and cents. II Is fair TO say thai
the excellent filth in which the held
was left as a result OF growing the
beets was of considerable value. while
II should also be ADDED that the beet
tops which were fed the dairy cows
caused them to nearly double In their
flow OF milk after the topping season
started. Next season this same man
win select his beet land more careful
". will either tile or cut n the low
acres ard not plant seed ON land
which IL o dry, and he thinks by fol-
lowing this plan thar he car raise ~
many beets and make Just as much
money on about twenty acres Some
points In this farmers experience may
well he taken into account By those
planning to row beets next season
for the first time.

Shooting Affair at Faith

The following item clipped from
the Faith paper will interest our
readers, w. II. Perkett being the
man who spent several days in
Philip organizing the Woodmen
lodge here. The other party is
also known to many of our read
ers:
Failing to furnish bonds in the
sum of 81, 900, Roy Shepard ac-
cused of assaulting w. H. Perkett
with intent to commit murder,
was taken to Sturgis for incarcera-
ton in the county Jail until court
meets in June or until bonds are
furnished. He was bound over by
Justice Snyder, the preliminary
hearing, which was started, being
later waived.
The alleged assault was commit
ted last Sunday morning, it being
the result of quarrel had with
PerketL, organizer of the Wood
mer- lodge, on the street front of
the Vanderly hardware store. In
the melee Shepard struck Perkett
over. the head with the butt of a
revolver, cutting the scalp, and
fired shot or two. Perkett was
not seriously injured and Shepard
was Immediately arrested and lodg-
ed in Jail where he remained until
the arrival of the deputy sheriff
who took him to the county seat.
A preliminary hearing was be-
gun Monday morning, witnesses
for the state testifying that Shep-
ard struck the first blow and fired
at Perkett when the latter seized
post auger in the store to be used
as weapon of self defense. The
bullett missed Perkett by only a
few inches, the shot passing
through the casing of the doorway.
A number of people witnessed the
fray and manv subpoenaes we're
issued by both the state and the
defense.

Immigrants Arrive

Charles Herschlag arrived last
week Friday with carload of i'm
migrant goods and FIVE head of
horses from Hadar, Nebraska, and
moved into the cement house own
ed by r. M. Waddell in the west
part of town. where he and his
family will reside until he has COM
pleted a suitable home for them on
his farm southwest of town. His
family consisting, of his wife, three
daughters and one son, arrived
Friday night. Sometime ago Mr..
Herschlag purchased 400 acres of
Stanley county land near Philip
and it is his intention to make it a
permanent home for himself and
family. He expects to erect some
substantial buildings and make
various improvements on the land
in the near future and has already
commenced to put in some of his
crops. Mr.. Herschlag was accom-
panied on the trip out by Frank
Drake, who will, after helping to
get things settled, look over the
country around here with a view
to locating in this vicinity should
things look favorable to him. We
are glad to welcome these people
among the residents of this vicin-
ity and hope that they will be
pleased with their new surround.

Decided Against Railroads

Federal District Judge Wolver-
ton, of Portland Ore, decided that
Southern Pacific and Oregon and
California railway companies must
forfeit to the United States about
$4,000 acres of land valued at
SIS, 100000. Congress granted the
land to aid railway construction
with the idea that it should be sold
to bona fide settlers in 100 acre
lots, and at no more than -. SO per
acre. Every contention of the rail-
roads was defeated in the fight.
Here is a Judge who appears to
have an opinion unbiased and un-
intimidated by the great power of
a railroad corporation. This de-
cision will be lauded by all lovers
of justice, truth and an untram-
meled judiciary.

Milwaukee Not to Rebuild

Statements are being made to
the effect that the Milwaukee COM
pany has decided to practically re-
build the Iowa and Dakota division
between Mason City and Mitchell,
and that heavier steel rails are to
laid between the places. A state
ment by the trainmaster of the
company is to the effect that the
anticipated improvements do not
show the least possibility of being
made this season. Two years, ago
he stated, about $4,000, 900 had
been appropriated for this pur-
pose, but with the stringency of
the money market all work was
abandoned, and there has been ab-
solutely nothing done to further
the work since that day. He de-
clares there is nothing at the pres
ent time to the story, and all that
is being done by the crews along
the line is merely to keep the road
bed up. The rebuilding may be
done in time, but there is nothing
on the card now to show that it
will be done this season. Con
cerning the cutoff from Rapid
City to Miles City, Mont, the
presence of the grading outfits at
Rapid City confirm it, but they
had been sent there to winter by a
sub contractor.

WYATT STEVENSON DEAD
PROMINENT YOUNG MAN OF
FORT SMITH BELIEVED
TO BE DROWNED.

Fort Smith, June 27.-The body of
man, believed to be that of Wyatt

young busines men of this city, was
found in a pool of water in Lees
creek, near Lancaster, As miles from

The body fits the description of
young Stevenson. His parents have
practically identified him from a mea-
ger telegraphic description sent here
by the authorities of Lancaster
Young Stevenson left here Sunday
morning for couple of days outing
with his friend, Blass Poole. The lat
ter returned today, leaving Stevenson
at the camp.

|. /. PYLE SELLS
PHONE EXCHANGE
CONSIDERATION, $4,000
LOCAL COMPANY PASSES INTO
HANDS OF NORTHERN
CAPITALIST.

L. H. Pyle, owner of the Conway
Telephone Company, yesterday after
noon sold the local telephone ex-
change, franchise and equipment to
A. l.. Waterman of Mason City, Ia,
for cash consideration of 5000.
The property will change hands on or
about July l. The deal was a consid-
cradle surprise, as much SO to Mr.
Pyle as to anyone else, as he was con-
templating plans for a complete new
equipment and had made a tentative
contract with 10 Frauenthal for the
lease of a model new exchange build
ing to be erected on Oak street and
Locust avenue, the plans for which
had already been drawn.
The agreement Of sale was reached
in Little Rock yesterday afternoon,
and Mr.. Pyle returned this morning
to that city to complete the details of
the transfer. Before leaving he said
that he regretted very much to sever
his connection with the telephone com
pany, but the offer of The purchaser
was such that he could not afford not
to accept it.
Mr.. Waterman is generally suppos-
ed to be representing the Southwest
ern Telegraph and Telephone Co., one
of the branches of the American Bell
company, and has during the past few
weeks invested considerably over
100000 in local telephone exchanges
in Arkansas, having purchased the III
dependent local concerns at Morrilton,
Searcy, Clarksville, Leslie, Heber
and other places.
The transfer will probably put an
end to the plans for the erection of
the new exchange, although Mr.. Frau
enthal stated today if the new owner
desired to carry out the arrangement
made by Mr.. Pyle, he would proceed
to erect the building.
The Conway exchange is one of the
best in the state in city of this size
and has about 400 local subscribers,
besides large number of rural lines.
The franchise to the company was
granted by the city council in 1898
to Prof. George C. Millar and Prof. c
H. Burr, and started out with about
25 subscribers. 1t changed hands sew
eral times until it came under the
control of M. Pyle, who held it for
about 10 years. The latter sold the
exchange to J. A. Frisby of Morlilton
in 1908, but bought it back from him
about one year ago.

MANY QUESTIONS
PEEvE NORWOOD
ATTY. GENERAL BURDENED
BY UNOFFICIAL CORRESPOND
ENCE FROM PRIVATE CITI-
ZENS OF THE STATE.

Little Rock, June 27.-"If all Off
GERS who are entitled to legal advise
would apply to such officers and de-
partments as are authorized by stat
ute to furnish such information, it
would insure uniformity in the con-
structon of statutes, and relieve the
attorney generals office of the whole
sale unofficial correspondence with
which it is burdened," said Attorney
General Norwood in discussing the af-
fairs of his office. He says the vol
ume OF his correspondence has in
creased more than 25 per cent in the
last 18 months, and the letters come
from everybody, official and unofficial.
This is attributed largely to the great
brood laws biennally hatched out, and
the multitude of special acts that
tends to a chaotic condition of statu
tory enactments.
The attorney general says he has
endeavored to inform the public that
he is authorized to advise only the ex-
ecutive heads of the state government
and the state boards upon questions
in which the state of Arkansas is in
terested, and advise the prosecuting
attorneys upon any matters in which
the state or any county is interested
1t is the duty of the prosecuting at
torney to advise county and township
officers, and every municipality should
be advised by its own attorney, or
by the most competent and available
lawyer in the regular practice. 1t is
the duty of the state superintendent
to advise school officers and of the tax
commission to advise assessors and
collectors.

Little Rock, June 27.-There is ioy
In the ranks of the states officials and
employees. There is money in sight N
the state treasury to meet some of the
unpaid warrants. The counties are
beginning to settle with the state for
the past years collections. Sheriff
I. M. Fletcher of Lonoke county is
the first to arrive this year ready to
make final settlement. HIS has turned
into the state treasury balance of
$40,0O0.26, but the banks hold more
than that amount of warrants which
they have already cashed, and it will
not last long. Other collectors are
expected to come in regularly now.
and the state will again be flush in
