No More Log School Houses

Not one log school house has been
erected in Arkansas in the past five
years, the little red brick scboo,
house is becoming the rage in all
sections of the state. There are
now but t9S Of the old log school
houses lrkansa', and many of
these sse still standing ready for
use in an emergency, but at all
other times the brick school houses
are being used From the reports
sent in by the county examiners,
there has been much building of
school houses in Arkansas during
the past year. There have been sO9
school buildings erected in the state
during the past year, more than one
for each school day of the year.
The t,tal valuation of the new
schools is 1861, ,55S.54, or any aver
age Of $2,2lO for each building,
which ls much higher than the av.
erage value of school buildings in
many of the old eastern states.
Deputies in the Office of the superln
tendant of public instruction have
been working upon the annual re.
ports for some days, and while they
have not completed the totaling of
all items, they have uncovered some
very interesting facts. The school
population for 1909 was 557, 46S,
and increased to 573,S43 IN 1910,
and this year it is 5S5, 1874. The
total number of school houses in
1909 was COOS, in 1910 6lS2 and
this year 63O6. While the number
of buildings was high this year,
next year will probably greatly ex.
ceed the present one in the value of
new buildings, so many fine high
school buildings of brick being now
in course of erection. The value of
the new buildings in 1909 was $452,
l67.3O, in 1910 it was S55I,1S7.66,
and $667, ,553.54 in 1911. The
total value of the school property
of the state in 1909 was So, ,067, 342
90, in 1910 it was So, 939, 32O.52,
against 81, SSl, $500 for this year,
Within the next few days all the
balance of statistics for the fiscal
year ending June 30 will be complet-
ed.

ALASKA COAL CLAIMS VOID
Cunningham Filings Are DisalIowed
by Land Commissioner Sanctioned
by Secretary of Interior Fisher.

Washington.-The famous Cunning
ham Alaskan coal land claims, through
which it has been alleged that the
Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate planned
to extend its vast interests in Alaska
and to control one of the most valu-
able coal fields in the world, were
finally disallowed by the department
of the interior.
Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the
interior. having approved the depart
ment's decision, as handed down by
Fred bennett, commissioner Of the
land office, the last door is believed
to 1ave been closed to the Cunning
ham claimants. Their attorneys have
threatened an appeal to the United
States Supreme court. but such an
appeal can be based only on some
point of law involved and not on
the findings of fact as announced by
the department.
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye longer than two
years. They brought about the Bal
linger-Pinchot Investigation by con-
gress and the dismissal from the pub
lie service of Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot Louis r. CLAWS, a chief of
field division in the land office, and
several minor officials. Both Pinchot
and CLAWS we're dismissed for insuh-
ordination incident to their attacks en-

SEASON FOR BLOAT IN STOCK
Agricultural College Professor Gives
Out Information Regarding NAL
ady Among Cattle AMI Sheep.

Madison-''From now until the
close of the pasturing season, cattle
and sheep will be subject to bloat or
hoven," says DR.. f. b. Hadley, as
sistant professor of veterinary science
in the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin. This dis
ease is an excessive accumulation Of
gas in the paunch, and is usually
brought about by permitting animals
to pasture on clover or alfalfa which
is wet from either dew or rain. Large
quantities of these feeds are greedily
eaten, especially in the spring fol-
lowing winter feeding on dry foods, or
in the later summer when the herds
and fiocks are turned into the second
crop after the usual pastures are
dried up or closely cropped.
THE chief symptom is a disten-
sion of the paunch noted in the left
Asaxsak, continues DR.. Hadley. IRE.
lief, which must be Immediate If Ell.
fective, is best afforded by the trocha
and canula. This instrument should
be in the hands of every stockman.
The proper place to insert the in
strument is on the left side in the
center of the triangular area bound
ed in front by the last rib, above by
the lower edge of the loin muscles
and behind by the hip bone. Leave
the canula in position 10 or l 5 min
utes, reinserting in a freshly made
opening if necessary Medicinal
treatment is of minor Importance as
a rule.
Prevention is easily carried out
either by limiting the time at pas
ture to few minutes each day until
the stock becomes accustomed to the
change of feeds, or by feeding large
quantities of dry hay in the morn
ing before they are turned onto the
green pasture. In either case care
should be taken that no moisture is
present"

In the first test of strength on reel

President Taft expressed great sat

and there are still more to be intro
duced. They run the entire gamut of
tariff revision. ETs all amendments
