A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING.

In the drainage survey approplia ton bill passed through congress just before adjournment. wherein the gov ernment offered to pay half the price Of drainage survey here. the bill read something like thia:
 An appropriation for the drainage of Hot Springs. Arkansas,.a a city ad lacent to the government reservation in Hot Springs. Arkansas"
 Now that drainage was misrepre- sented in that phrase. The drainage ia not for city adjacent to the gov ernment reservation, for the reserva- tion itself. The water to be taken care of comes from the government mountains.
 So the committee in regarding the appropriation as one for "city ad- jacent made mistake, The appro- priation is for the government prop erty itself.
 If this mistake had been corrected, fl there had been some enthusiast for Hot Springs in the committee room. aud the appropriation bill had been properly presented the provision re quiring Hot Springs to pay half might not have been inserted.
 The sooner the United States gov eFnment realizes that this reservation is entitled 10 equal recognition with other public reserves. the sooner the nation will come to understand that prejndices no longer exist in national affairs.
 Hot Springs Is the governments sanitarium. II is where the afflicted of the nation gather for relief. It < where they find relief. It is mort than a parkway. or geyser. or a beautiful cliff--for it is part of all these, and more, in that it carries the touch of divinity in its healing prop critics.

BARRIERS HARDEST
WORKER IN STATE
WHEN IN TRAINING

Rex Barber. champion cyclist of
the intermountain west. who will
compete in the big marathon race at
the coming county fair, is said by
many of his friends to be the most
strenuous in his training of any ath-
lete they have ever known. Barber,
to begin with, arises at a. m. each
day, and rides two miles to the fair
grounds race track, where he starts
riding before IL is light. Sunrise
finds him shooting around the track
at 20 miles an hour, working like a
machine. He then rides back to his
home on Orchard Mesa, eats a
hearty breakfast. and rides six miles
east on Orchard Mesa. where he has
a contract for harvesting some
grain.
Ten hours of hard work ends his
day of labor and he returns home to
enjoy sound nights sleep. He states
that he will be in great shape for the
coming contest and hopes to break
the record he made in Denver in the
News-Times contest in 1908, when
he rode the 26 miles 1856 yards in
1:11:10.
other prospective riders are also
training. Fred Halbouer, Robert
Rhone and Arthur Chapman have he
gun 3O-mile day regime with
careful diet, and will give Barber a
bitter tussle for premier honors. No
race in years has been the means of
creating so much talk and comment
as the coming marathon.
