Dear Sirs:
[ have just returned from delivering my

to write to you. We got the engine and
pump and hauled it out and set it up. If you
remember [ was nervous about the entire af-
fair, and when | saw it, made the second trip
back there to buy five inch pump, and you
persuaded me to try the four inch I bought.
Alderman set the machinery, lined it up,
and got everything just right the first time.
When he started it you should have seen the
amount of water that outfit threw. No one
could make me believe until [ saw it. that
that big an irrigating head could be forced
through four inch pump; and that engine
just plays with the work 1t was a revela-
ton to us ALL and entirely satisfactory In ev-

are interested in propositions of this kind

A County Fair for Boone County.

The Agricultural Department o
the Missouri Pacific Railway is lead
ing a movement for county fair,
throughout North Arkansas this
fall, and proposes to assist such en-
terprises in a substantial way. The
following letter from its Commits
sioner of Agriculture to our County
Judge is self-explanatory:
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Apr. 10, 1911
Hon. S. N. Alexander,
County Judge, Harrison, Ark,
| have your letter of March 1st re-
garding the proposition of holding
a fair in Boone County this fall and
trust that you will pardon the delay
in replying. The fact is we desire to
gather data from various parts of
our territory before replying and
this is taking considerable time.
| note your statement that the
Farmers Union of Boone County
are anticipating movement in
favor of a fair and | am writing
some of the leading farmers of the
county regarding the proposition.
| would suggest that you begin in
a small way, have small fair and
allow it to grow into something
larger as the people of the county
rally to its support. Some of the
best county fairs that | have ever
seen were the outgrowth of the
small street fair at the beginning in
which farm products, live stock,
and other things of in
terest to the farmers and general
public contributed the principal ex-
hibits.
A beginning of this kind will cost
but very little and the results usu-
ally are very beneficial. In case
your people should decide to under
take anything of this kind you may
rest assured that this department
stands ready to assist you IN any
way practicable.
Yours very truly,
l., A. Markham.
Commissioner of Agriculture of
M. p. Railway.

LITTLE Rock, Apri

LITTLE NOCk, ApTll 20.
Childish and indefensible have b. en-
some of the methods adopted
by law makers duriug the closing
DAYS of the session to defeat the
very things for which they were
elected. Last week the Senate, with
malice aforethought, postponed the
Bradham-Hurst revenue raising bill
upon which the House had labored
six weeks, until the 25th of May.
and this angercd the lower house
until the members were ready for
any course that would show their
resentment,
The opportunity came when the
Senate, more in a spirit of jest than
anything else, passed a resolution,
introduced by Senator Holland, to
adjourn sine die May s, instead of
on May 13, as had previously been
determined upon. This was intend
ed as rebuke to the House, where
it had been stated by the Speaker
that reports were being circulated Of
the Senate's desire to extend the
session until June 3. Many of the
senator's who voted for the reso-
luton did not believe it would ever
pass the House. But the House was
in a resentful mood, and the reading
of the resolution caused a commo-
tion such as has not been witnessed
in the halls of the General Assembly
in some time.
The House proceeded to ''ca'l the
Senate's bluff" and, much to the sur
prise of the few senators watching
the proceedings-the Senate ad djourn-
ed as usual Friday noon until Mon
day morning-the resolution was
carried by tremendous storm Of
ayes. Parker of Ouachita even
wanted to change the date of ad-
journment to April 25th, and offered
an amendment to that effect, but it
was voted down. Some counciled
deliberation and a careful consider
alton of the states needs, urging
that it was no time to play cheap
politics, but the temper of even the
ordinarily level headed members
was at a white heat and they would
not listen to the voice of the har-
monizers
The movement for the adoption of
the resolution was led by Speaker
Milwee and Messrs, Hurst, Going
and Parker. Mr.. Going made the
most sensational speech Of all, de-
claring it had been demonstrated
that it was absolutely useless to
stay any longer, as no revenue bill
could be put through the Senate
