 Washington.-Tari revision will continue to occupy both houses of con- gress for a time. When the house passes the excise income tax bill and submits woolen schedule revision to the Democratic caucus the revision program there will have been ended.
 The Democratic revision measures are piling up in the senate. The fin ance committees adverse report on the house iron and steel bill will be made. Chairman Penrose and his Re publican colleagues will make an elab- borate statement of their attitude on the revision bills.
 The Finance Committee heard Chair man Emery of the tariff board on the house chemical tariff bill, hearings on which will occupy some time. Hear ings on the house free sugar bill will follow the chemical bill.
 Meantime the Democrats and pro gressive Republicans are no nearer an understanding though some of them express confidence that the talked of common ground might be reached on some tariff legislation.
 Democratic leaders in the house are determined to speed up legislation. Some members of the ways and means committee and many other Democrats are insisting upon free wool to which Democratic leader Underwood is as much opposed as he was originally to free sugar.
 Mr. Underwood's idea is to report schedule which would conform to the conference report on schedule K, ! of the present law last summer, which provided a 2 per cent adyalorem tariff on raw wool
 Disposition for the excise bill in the house will open the way for fur ther consideration of appropriation bills. The postoffice bill which would establish a parcels post system will be considered under a special rule. Opponents of parcels post have op- posed the bill on the ground that it bears new legislation point the new l rule is designed to meet.

HOT SPRINGS IN DARKNESS
Fire Underneath Machinery Causes
 Great Damage to Light Plant.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Hot Springs.-IIot Springs was in total darkness and street car traffic was entirely suspended as a result of a fire which started under one of the tandem compound engines in the pow CT house and caused damage which may run into the thousands of dollars. It is at this time impossible to make an estimate of the damage caused by the fire and water, as thorough test of the machinery and wiring in the plant will have to be made before this can be done.
 The fire originated under the tan, dem compound engine which controls the street car power and elevator cur rents, and spread to other engines, causing a complete suspension of cleo trie current Only those business houses fortunate enough to have aee- tylene gas equipment and the larger hotels which manufacture their own current, had light and tallow candles are sold at premium.
 The location of the fire is in close proximity to the switch board and the entrance of all the wire into the build ing. and as soon as the flames were discovered, everything was at once cut off. Five hundred and fifty volts shot through the body of Walter Keith, negro helper, who is in a serious condition, but it is not thought he is fatally hurt.

 HeIena.-In one of the most seath' ing denunciatory arraignments ever heard from the bench in this city, Judge Jacob Trieber, judge of the eastern district of the United States court here, scored the defendants in the injunction proceedings of the Big Lake Shooting Club of Mississippi county this state.
 For fifteen minutes the jurist de- livered himself of an oration of biting invective against the alleged market hunters of the district, concluding with the statement that he did not propose have a repetition of the Reel Foot lake outrages in his district, so long as he was judge of the federal court, and that Arkansas was adequately fill. ed with residents of a criminal nature, without appealing to other states for more.
 The hearing dates back for several years, at which time the official board of the Big Lake Shooting Club se- cured an injunction against all alleg- ed market and pot hunters for shoot ing wild fowls on the preserves of the club. The case has come up for ad- judication in this court on several pre- yious occasions, but in each instance some technicality sufficed to carry it over
 Judge Trieber sentenced Dick Hill. house and Ed Donovan to jail sem tences, the former being given six months and the latter thirty days. Judge Trieber, in his review of the proceedings of the two case recalled the burning of the two club houses, alleged to have been committed by the market hunters, also the attempted destruction of the present property, together with the shooting of Watch man Gleason.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Washjngton.-Dr. Harvey w. Wiley left the laboratories of the bureau of Chemistry-where for nearly 29 years he had been chief chemist-no longer a government official, but determined to champion the cause of pure foods from the ranks of the people.
 Friction with his superiors and ir- reconcilable differences of opinion as to the enforcement of the pure food and drug act were the reasons given by Dr. Wiley for his resignation.
 Dr. Wiley will devote the remain der of his life, according to a state ment issued by him, to the promotion of the principles of civic righteous ness and industrial integrity which underlie the food and drug act, in the hope that it may be administered in the interest of the people at large in- stead of that of a comparatively few mercenary manufacturers and deal ers."
 President Taft expressed regret at the resignation. Secretary Wilson said pr. Wiley had been valuable man."

HIGH SCHOOL WORK WANTED
School Patrons Discuss Methods of
 Securing Long Felt Want.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Prof. B. w Torreyson, professor of secondary education, returned from Mablevale, where he went to confer with the school patrons regarding the addition of two years of high school work to the school at that place. A meeting was held to discuss the mat ter and a desire to secure the high school work if possible, was shown by all those who were present, Prof. Torreyson said.
 One plan is to secure the consolida- tion of several districts in the viein- ity of Mableyale. This would give the necessary funds to secure more teachers and add the high school work to the course. It is thought probably, however, that the money can be secured in another way, if it is found impossible to effect the con- solidation.

BIG INCREASE IN VALUES
Large Percentage of White People Own Farms While Negroes

 Little Rock.-The wonderful pro- gress that Arkansas has made along agricultural lines recently is hardly realized by prospective homeseekers or even by large number of inhabi- tants of this state, and so for the in- formation of the exceedingly large number of homeseekers from all over the country, and also for the informa- tion of the natives of this state, Depu- ty Commissioner of Agriculture Rob- ert M. Hutchins has prepared very interesting article on agriculture in Arkansas. The article deals with the marvellous increase in the value of Arkansas land, the amount of farming done, the amount of money made by the average Arkansas farmer, etc.
 "The most pleasing statement of facts for the prospective investor is a review of what has been. The fol lowing data was taken from the last census report, which has just been issued:
 During the decade from 1900 to 1910, the average Arkansas farm in- creased S36 per cent or from $10.15 to $1S.64. The average value of land per acre increased from $6.32 in 1900 to $14.13 in 1910, or 123.6 per cent. The total value of farm property in creased 1905 per cent. The value of land increased 134 per cent. The in crease in the number of farms was 20.1 per cent as compared with an in crease of 20 per cent in the popula- tion, or the number of farms increas- ed in Arkansas for the 10 years at an average rate of 3,59S per year. The total acreage of improved farm land has increased 16.1 per cent within the last decade, keeping the pace set for improvement of land in 1870 propor tionate to the amount in cultivation
 From 1890 to 1910 the average debt of the small per cent mortgaged farms in Arkansas has decreased 119 per cent, while the value of these same farms has increased 531 per cent, or an increase of 104.9 per cent in the owners equity.
 Tt might be of interest to know that 70 per cent of the Arkansas farmers are white, while 769 of the tenants are negroes.
