SCHOOL ELECTION
 PROBLEM CLEARED
Attorney General Hal l.. NorwO0d Gives Opinion as to Vote Nec- essary to Select School
 Superintendents

Little Rock, Oct. ii.-To clear up the question of what constituted election of county superintendency during the last school election of which there was some doubt, Su- perintendent c. B. Cook asked for an official opinion from the attorney general This was rendered yester- day and states that only a majority of those voting on the question is needed, and not a majority of votes at the election, as some have seemed to think.
 The superintendent is therefore sending out the following letter to all the county examiners. explain ing this ruling:
 From reports that have come to this department, the question of county superintendency was voted upon in a number of counties at the annual school election in May. The question has been asked this de- |partment repeatedly just what vote was necessary to carry the question, as there seemed to be different |opinions regarding the matter, and in order that there may be no doubt regarding the vote necessary to car ny the question an official opinion was requested from the attorney general on the point. His ruling is clear on the question that it only requires majority of those votes lon that question, and not a ma iority of the votes cast at the elec- ton. as some have thought.
 Thinking that possibly your county has voted on the question, lam addressing this letter. l would suggest that you take up this mat ter with your county judge and thus Ibring to his attention the enclosed lopinion of the attorney general on this question.
 County superintendency will lmean much to the school interests
 of the state, and it is with this idea
 in view that I have addressed this communication to you"

We could see where he had gone to bundle of clothing and torn up shirt for the bandages, also that he had made a trip to and from the water can: and it looked as though he had either started to leave or to guard the cave, as he was near the front, lying partly upon the rocks, where he must have dropped dead, as there was no sign of struggle where he lay.
 There were also two blanket beds on the ground in the cave and two under the shelf at the side of the cave. The peons evidently used these. There were also about eight weeks supply of provisions stored in the back of the cave, with min ing tools and dynamite.
 One Was Missing.
 After we notised the fourth bed, we took another search for the owner of it, but could not find him.
 We buried the white man and the two peons, and piled the dead Indians in the hollow and covered them up. By this time it was get ting dark, and we turned in.
 Next morning we started early, continuing our trip. We had trav- eled about an hour when we found a fresh grave, which we opened, finding a dead Indian. Farther on we came to where there had been a camp and another Indian buried. About five hundred paces on we came to the body of a white man badly decomposed. We could tell, little about it, only that he had been a miner or a working man.

 A Peculiar C0incident.
 From a report from Wabash, it appears that MT. Ridgway was a di- rect descendant of the great Colonel John Brady, familiarity known in history as Indian Slayer" Brady's entire family was murdered by h. dians and he swore eternal ven- geance and ever after this spent his life hunting Indians, becoming one of the most noted Indian fighters that this country has ever known.
 Ridgway was born in Idiana, near Wabash, August 2, 1865, and leaves, besides his wife and four children, a brother, Joe Ridgway, and four sisters.

In the ten-year period covered by the census the cotton acreage in- creased 3i.i per cent; corn de- creased IS per cent; hay and forage increased S2.i per cent, oats de- creased 29.5 per cent, potatoes in- creased i2.2 per cent, sweet po- tatoes increased 6S.7 per cent, wheat decreased S4.i per cent, while rice was hardy grown until 1899, while ill 1909 27,4i9 acres were planted.
 The figures as whole indicate that Arkansas is making good strides in agricultural development. The most pronounced increase, with the exception of rice, which is strictly low land crop, is in hay and forage, and there are good grounds for the belief that it is as valuable to the state as any. While in no state can forage crops be grown to better advantage than in Arkansas, thousands upon thous- ands of dollars have been sent out yearly for hay. Increased pro- duction of live stock follows nat urally an increase in forage crop. This means more meat and more food products.
 Then mere livestock means more fertilizer for farm and garden again more food for all the people.
 Thus it will be seen that the forage crop is most intimately con- nected with the real prosperity of a state, because following in it's track come the actual foods of the nome, the kind that every farmer should provide for himself. Rice IS fine crop where it can be grown. However, like cotton, it is money crop, and is very largely shipped away, and does not lend itself so readily to providing the actual needs of the family in the home as does the forage crop and the ele- ments that naturally go with it.
 Another interesting feature of this statistical report is that potatoes are shown to yield more in value per acre in Arkansas than any other crop. The average for Irish potatoes IS S4S.45 per acre, and for sweets and yams s6075. Rice Is next with an acre value of $4i.s0, while cotton is fourth with S25.35. At the bottom of the list are wheat and oats, S8.S0 and SS.30. respectively.
 Taken all in all, however, it is safe to assert that it is the farmer who first makes sure to produce what his family needs in grain, meat, butter and eggs. and then de- votes his energy to the money crops, that is on the most solid foundation of prosperity and con- fort.
 In Polk county, where total crop failure never occurs, he seems to have first class opportunity to dodge tight money markets, panics and worries about the poorhouse.

St Paul, Minn., Oct. i6.-The United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals, in decision handed down saturday at St. Paul, upholds the contention of the government in the Indian land fraud case in Okla homa that the Indians have no right 70 dispose of valuable zinc lands in that territory, thereby saving lands worth at least million dollars when they would sell for a few thousand.
