MUST ELECT ALL
DELEGATES FROM
COUNTY AT LARGE
CONSTRUCTION PLACED ON PR.
MARY PLAN BY THE STATE
CHAIRMAN.
VARIES With The LOCAL DICTLM
Pattersonites Plan for Election From
the Districts to Convention Called
to Again Nominate T. BIedsoe
Brown for the Senate.

According to letter received by
the Editor of The Herald from Chair
man Morton, of the democratic state
committee, the delegates from all of
the counties to the state convention
of August Is will be elected from the
county at large. That is every voter
in the Patterson or regular primary
of August will vote for twenty.
three candidates for delegates
The following extract is taken
from Chairman Morton's letter:
Il wish to call your attention to
the provisions of the primary plan in
regard to the election of delegates
to the state convention, as follows:
Ballots for delegates to the said
state convention from the respective
counties of the state shall be,separate
from the ballots wherein appear the
names of the candidates for Cover
nor and railroad commissioner. ANY
ballot wherein is written or printed
the name of any person as candi-
date for delegate to said state con-
vention shall be counted for the per-
son whose name Is thus written or
printed thereon.
Each voter can vote on his ballot
for as many candidates as his coun-
~ is entitled to delegates.
N'For illustration, if the county is
entitled to fifteen delegates, ballot
beaded Delegates to the state con-
vention, and having written or print
ed thereon fifteen names, would be
counted for all of the fifteen names
thereon. No voter can vote for more
candidates than his county is enti-
tied to delegates II the county is
entitled to fifteen, and if the ballot
has sixteen or more names on it, it
lie a void ballot OF course a ballot
with less than the full number is a
good ballot, and will be counted for
those whose names are on it,
It is evident that this construction
is somewhat at variance with that
placed on the plan by the local Pat
tersonites. The latter have also ar
ranged for a primary to name dele
gates to the senatorial convention to
nominate T. Bledsoe Brown at Ho-
henwald. But they have made a
very different plan. The delegates
to be elected to the senatorial prima-
~ are to be chosen from the sevasal
districts and not from the county at
large. 1t was generally understood
that the same persons would consti-
tute the delegations to both of the
conventions.
Whether or not there will be a
fight for delegates to the state con-
vention is not known. 1t is practi-
cally certain that the powerful Pee
bles machine will have ticket in
the field But it is by no means
equally as certain that the McMillin
supporters here, who are both power
full and numerous. will allow this
ticket smooth sailing It may be,
however, that PEBBLES will concede
sufficient delegates to the McMillin
faction to avoid contest for dele
gates.

William Britt. town treasurer and municipal magistrate was received, and acted upon, the resignation being accept ed. The name of H. J. Lynch was brought up before the members of the council, and as there was Eo opposition, Mir. Lynch was given the job of looking after the citys cash and settling all disputes and con- troversies which might come before the town magistrate.
 Mir. Britt, in resigning, gave as his reason for so doing the fact that his business would take him from Skagway a considerable DOT ton of the time, and he therefore could not give the matters of tae joint office of treasurer and muni- cipal magistrate the time that they required.

The specimen is six feet long, has very large head, but no scales nor backbone. It is of a dull brown shade and is evidently a stray fish rom deep water.
 The fish was unknown to he fishermen at the traps and was sent to Professor Kincaid for identifica- tion. E. E. Ainsworth of Ainsworth .& Dunn, packers, identified the specimen.
 The first one of the species was captured at Quinault, Wash, in 1887, by Charles WillOughby, and is described by Dr. Tarlton Bean in the proceedings of the United States national museum.

DAVIS HANGS PICTURES
 OF MIDNIGHT SUN

The wonderfully beautiful color effects which distinguish the noun tain scenery of Alaska are repro duced in a hundred variations il the oil paintings by Leonard NJ. Davis. on exhibition at the Arctic Club. Mir. Davis spent six years in the Northern country, during which time he produced a large number of landscape paintings which met with a flattering reception in the art centers of Eastern Ameri- ca. With the exception of a few smaller paintings, the exhibit at the Arctic Club is confined to noun tain, water and sky studies. Many Of them are almost startling Tn their vividness of coloring, repro ducing effects which almost have 10 be seen to be believed, says the Seattle P.-I.
 The most striking pictures in the collection are those showing the ef- fleets of the midnight sun of the Arctic summers, and some wonder full contrasts in light and shadow are presented. Another feature of the exhibition is the peculiar foliage of the Alaska mountain sides, re- produced very effectively in a num- Der of the paintings.
 Mir. Davis was a student at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, at Paris, taking lessons under Benjamin Con stant, Paul Laurens and other no- table artists. He returned to New York in 1896, exhibiting with sue cess at the Academy of Design and becoming recognized as a painter of mark. He went to Alaska in 1SgS, travelling up the Yukon river. He remained in the North for six years and since that time has spent his winters in New York, exhibiting at the various academies. He is a member of the lecture staff of the board of education, of New York City, and a member of the National Arts Club.

Bedding, secretary of the Arkansas State Fair at Hot Springs, commenting most highly the exhibit of the University at the fair, and the efficient service rendered by the Uni- versity officials.

 "At a meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Arkansas State Fair Association, held last evening, was instructed tQ write you a letter ex- pressing ouf@ appreciation of not only the magnificent agricultural exhibit, which was a credit to the state uni- versity as we'll as to the state of Ar kansas, but also the very valuable ser vice rendered by the men of the agri- scultural college of the University. l believe that by the good work of these men and the splendid exhibit made by the University and the general in- terest manifested, not only deeply im- pressed all who were in attendance but will leave lasting impression upon the members of the General As sembly and the many national char acters who attended this fair.
 You have always shown deep in- terest in the State Fair in the past, but your effort this time far eclipsed all previous efforts and we sincerely appreciate it."
