SAYS LIBRARY IS
 FREE 10 PUBLIC
NOW LARGEST IN STATE
HENDRIX COLLEGE HAS ABOUT 12,000 BOUND AND 5000
 UNBOUND VOLUMES.

Prof. Guy A. Simmons, in charge of the library of Hendrix College, de- sires to acquaint the people of Con way with the fact that the use of this library, which is now the largest pos sessed by any college in the state, is free to the citizens, who may make use of for nominal fee of Sl year.
 q wish to call the attention of the Conway reading public to the fact that the Hendrix college library is open to everybody on almost the same terms it is to the Hendrix students, y he said today. Any one may use books and periodicals in the reading room without charge of any kind. If anybody wishes to take books from the library he may dc so by deposit ing one dollar for a pass card, on which the books taken out are regis tered This pass card is good during the academic year. The library is regularly kept open from 9:15 a. m. to 4 80 p. m., excepting an hour at noon.
 "This year the library has received more than 400 new books,'' said Prof. Simmons, covering a wide range of subjects sociology, science, langu- ages, literature, art, religion, history, fiction and reference books, and it now contains about 12,000 bound vol umes and nearly half as many more unbound pamphlets, magazines, etc.
 Besides these books, the Hendrix library regularly keeps on file more than 100 well-chosen magazines, pa pers, periodicals and bulletins, and in addition to these about 50 bulletins, circulars and reports sent out by the various departments of the United States government, of which this h- brary is depository.
 Many of these books and periodi- calls ought to be of interest to the gen eral readers, and We would be glad to have a great number of Conway's cit izens take advantage of this abund- ance of material by becoming regular patrons of the library"

 Little Rock, April 19.-Taking the floor of the house of representatives this morning, Speaker K. F. Milwee delivered strong address, urging the members to complete the transaction of the great volume of important busi- ness now unfinished, before the ad- journment, on May 13.
 Regarding the proposed second eX- tension of the session, Speaker Mill wee said he not only opposed 1t, but absolutely would not become a party to it, and it would be necessary for the house to elect another speaker if the session went beyond May 13.
 Speaker Milwee warned the repre- sentatives that they could not hope for reelection by their constituents if they left the business of the state in such condition that the governor would be required to call special session to complete the work.

W0UED ADVERTISE
 CONWAY AT REUNION

Secretary G. L. Banner of the Con- way Board of Trade is anxious that osme steps should be taken to adver- tise Conway to the thousands of peo- pie from out of the state who will at tend the reunion in Little Rock next month. He believes large edition of attractive folders, setting forth the advantages of Conway and Faulkner county, should be issued for distribu- tion during the reunion and arrange ments made to induce large number of the out-of-state visitors to visit this city during or immediately following the reunion. It is probable that a meeting of the Board of Trade will be called within a few days to consider the matter. There is no question that the opportunity is the best ever pre- sented to advertise the city to so many people at so small an expense, and many towns of the state are al ready making preparation to take ad- vantage of it.

HAUL LUMBER 4
 MILES IN A SKIFF

Lumber for the purpose of rebuilding the residences destroyed by the tor nado at Wooster is being carried four miles in skitfs, on account of the high water in the Cadron creek making it impossible for wagons to reach the King bridge. The headwater from the creek has backed up Beaver Fork bottom to within a distance of three miles from Conway, and the lumber is being hauled to that point. It is there loaded in skitfs and ferried about four miles to the north ap- proach of the King bridge, where it is again loaded in wagons and taken to it's destination.
 The high water in the Cadron has seriously interfered with traffic and the transportation of the mail to the north portion of the county. The Ar kansas river, however, has not yet reached high stage and it is thought there is little danger of an overflow.

OPPOSITION FOR
 REVENUE BILL KEEL TRIES TO KILL II OMISSION GOV VERN M E N T BILL ALSO MEETS OPPOSE
 TION IN HOUSE.

Little Rock, April 19.-Two of the rocky road in the general assembly Tuesday afternoon, the Bradham- Hurst revenue-ra raising bill in the sen ate and the Holland commission form of government bill in the house
 The Bradham- Hurst bill was called up by Senator Friedell who bitterly opposed the measure as oppressive, tyranncal and unworthy of consider aton. He said it's very basic princi- pie is distruct of citizenship, everyone being virtually called liar and tax dodger. He asserted that it's passage would sound the death knell of Dem ocracy in the state. Senator Carl Lee read statement showing that the legislature had passed and has pend ing appropriation bills aggregating $2,l00,00O, and now, with the session very near the close, nothing has been done to provide the revenue for meet ing these drains upon the treasury.
 Senator Martin believed that the bill sohuld be amended and passed.
 Senator Covington favored it and declared that delays would be danger ous.
 Senator Holland asserted that it would increase all the taxes of the state, and that a great howl would follow it's passage.
 Senator Keel made a motion to in- definitely postpone the bill, which was lost, and the senate adjourned. It cannot come up again before Friday.
 The Holland bill, granting Fort Smith the right to vote on the com mission form of government, occupied the greater part of the day in the house, with Hurst and Glover leading the fight against it, and the Sebastian county delegation acting as is cham pions. A motion by Glover to post pone 25 days was defeated by tie vote of 33 to 33, and in that condition, with numerous amendments under consideration, the house adjourned.

There was a large attend ance of citizens aside from the law makers, and he was given a warm re- ception. There was no intimation in his remarks of political aspirations, and nothing to indicate that he is a candidate for United States senator at the next election. He discussed a few issues directly concerning the in- terests of the state, and indulged in no tirade and no mudslinging.

Representative Frank W. Mondell of
Wyoming.
Representative Mondell charged
that prices fixed by the government
were prohibitive, that they paralyzed
the coal industry in the west, result
ed in increasing the cost of coal to
the consumer from 30 cents to 81 a
ton, and created monopoly.
Mr.. Mondell also said that prices
for coal lands in all the working fields
run from $3.50 to $500 an acre, that
millions of acres are rated at values
above $3.50 an acre, that prices in
the better fields are in excess of
those charged in commercial practice
in the same fields or for better graue
Goals in eastern fields.
All these allegations Secretary
Fisher, after thorough study, submits
as apparently based on misappre

placed on coal lands and as to the
effect which the classifications have
had on the sale of public lands.

Fisher continued, ARE designed not
