URGES FINANCIAL
AID TO SCHOOL
PROF. TORREYSON TALKS
SAYS CONWAY SHOULD ERECT
NEW BUILDING BY SUB
SCRIPTIONS.
From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
Declaring that many of the rooms
in the Conway public school were ov-
er-crowded by so per cent and that a
new high school building is an imper-
at:ve need of the district, Prof. b. w.
Torreyson, in an address here last
night urged that the citizens respond
to the need and raise funds by public
subscription to erect new building
and pay off the present deficit of the
district.
The crowd which heard Prof Tor
reyson was disappointingly small, but
those who attended were deeply i'm
pressed with his remarks. His speech
was preceded by short talk by Miss
Eva Reichardt of Little Rock, in
which the work of the school improve
ment associations in the state was
outlined.
In beginning his address, Prof. Tor
reyson explained the new high school
aid law and pointed out the many
benefits that had already accrued
since it's enactment. Referring to To-
cal conditions, he said the Conway
public school was in an unusual posi-
ton and had to care for great many
more pupils than schools in towns of
similar population and wealth. Peo-
pie, he stated, move to Conway to send
their older children to college and
their young children to the public
school, naturally increasing the en-
rollment of the latter to large ex-
tent.
"You people must shoulder the bur
den just as you did when you secured
the State Normal and the two other
colleges" said Prof. Torreyson. "You
must raise by popular subscriptions
a sufficient sum to erect a fine high
school building to relieve the conges-
ton in your present building, and you
should also wipe out the deficit now
existing in your districts finances"

j. :. SENATOR'S
RACE VERY CLOSE
CLOSE VOTE In FAULKNER
GOVERNOR CARRIES HOME
COUNTY BY MAJORITY OF
ONLY 107.

AS the Log Cabin Democrat weekly
edition goes to press at 2 o'clock this
Thursday morning the indications
are that Congressman Joe T. Robin
son has defeated Governor Donaghey
for reelection; that the race for
United States Senator is very close
between Stephen Brundidge and Jeff
Davis; that Judge w. L. Moose of
Morrilton has been nominated for at
tcrney general; Judge Frank Smith
for Associate Justice; John M. Oath
out for state auditor, and Sam J.
Rowland for railroad commissioner of
the northwestern district.
The returns from the remaining
state and district offices are too mea-
ger and the races too close to deter
mine the results at this hour.
The Gazette at o'clock this MORN
ing stated that Robinson's apparent
majority was $4,000. Governor Don
aghey's headquarters had not conced-
ed defeat, saying the returns were too
scattering and meager to form an es-
innate. Robinson's headquarters
were claiming majority of 100000 or
more

winter. It is rich in nitrogen, the
stalks have rotted and the soil is more
fertile. Then think of how many boil
Weevils you destrop; also, look at the
grade Of stnf you turn under that
supplies the weevil with winter quar-
ters. Subsoiling is necessary in some
cases, and fall is the only time you
can subsoil
Run cross-fences and plat your
fields UP. FiX yourselves up to be
farmers. All the pretty time a man
has in the fall he should keep his
teams at the plow. You can haul
cotton when it is TOO wet to plow.
Teams should never be allowed to re-
main idle.
Remember, it is not the man who
plants the acreage, but it's the man
who gets the production. 1t means
money to the farmer when he learns
what production means to him. Pro-
ouce on 40 acres what you have been
producing on 70, then you will begin
to appreciate what farming is. More
Or less acreage is your only salvation.
A well-broken, well-prepared seed
bed with good seed and plenty of good
grade fertilizer means production, if
properly cultivated
Do not hasten to butcher in your
seed, but farm as you go along.

MAYOR DUNCAN ON
new COMMISSION
ELECTED AS Third man
COUNCIL COMPLETES BOARD
TO OPERATE LIGHT AND
LIGHT PLANTS. s

By the unanimous election of May
or W. H. Duncan as the one-year
member of the newly-created light
and water commission, the city coun-
Gil last night completed the organiza-
ton Of this body into whose charge
will be given the operation of Con-
ways municipal plants. The ordi-
nance creating the commission was
passed at a previous meeting and
Wellington Robbins and Frank E.
Robins were chosen as two of the
members, the council failing to elect
the third. AT last nights meeting
Mayor Duncan was the only member
put in nomination and his election
was unanimous. After the publica-
ton of the ordinance the new commits
sion will meet and organize and will
take over the operation of the light
plant from the present council COM
mittee. Under the provisions of the
ordinance the water system will also
be operated by the commission when
it is completed and accepted by the
council.
The special committee appointed to
audit the books of the city light plant
reported last night that they had
carefully audited the books and ac-
counts, item by item, and found them
correct. Superintendent E. V. Lev
erett was commended for the neat and
accurate manner in which he had been
keeping the books. The report of the
committee was adopted
The improvement committee recon-
mended that a petition for an ordi-
nance ordering sidewalk on the west
side Of Harrison street from Oak to
Willow streets be granted and the re-
port was adopted.
The regular monthly report of the
hight plant committee was presented
and referred to the finance committee.
On a tie vote the council failed to
grant a petition of Andy Hess and
others for the privilege of construct
ing a spur track along Railroad ave-
nuesfrom Oak street north to Prince
street.
BY vote of four to two the council
raised the salary of the city marshal
for the ensuing term from $40 to $50
per month.
j. H. Stubs requested the pay
ment by the city of an Indebtedness
Of about 81 200 for funds advanced to
the old light plant improvement board
five years ago, which was used in the
purchase of new machinery, and
which is secured by chattel mort
gage on the large engine and dynamo
Of the plant. A motion to pay half
of the amount due out of the treasury
now and the balance next year was
defeated, and a motion then prevailed
that the amount be paid out of the
taxes received in 1913, after the claim
had been properly Investigated and
audited by the finance committee.
The council adjourned to meet
again Friday, April 5.

ARIZONA GIRL GETS
 A LARGE ESTATE

PRESCOTT.-Miss Emily Kiefer. for the past twelve years resident of Arizona, has been- summoned to her home at Johannesburg, South Africa,
 where she will inherit a snug little fortune. She left the city few days ago for that far-away country, where she was born.
 Her itinerary has been outlined by friends conversant with ocean travel ing,and before she will arrive at least seven weeks will elapse. She goes di- rect to San Francisco, where she boards a steamer for Sydney, Aus
 tralia. The next day after her arrival at that port, she starts on the long voyage across the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, stopping at points in South
 America and along the west coast of Africa, finally reaching Cape Town.
 An inland journey of several hundred miles brings her to her destination, after various stopovers. The expense of the trip is estimated at over $500. Miss Kiefer came to the United States with relatives when a mere child, and during her residence in Prescott and other Arizona cities has become very much endeared to a large number of friends.-Journal Miner.

 ACROSS THE LINE
Denver CattIemen in Clutches of the Law Charged With illegally Cross
 ing 1,500 Head of Cattle.

DOUGLAS,-Thet trial of Thos. He's ter, a Denver cattleman, who was ar rested yesterday afternoon by Marsh al Overlook for bringing atross the Mexican line about fifteen nuI < ] head of cattle will be held this afte1- noon at four o'clock, before United States Commissioner Sames. It is possible the case will be postponed until Monday morning to enable the officials to gather more evidence.
 Hester may be mentally affected, judging from the manner in which he spoke of the United States marshal in describing how and why he brought the cattle across the line during the night time, after they had been refused admittance by the authorities of the agricultural de- partment of the United States on ac- count of being effected with ticks. But the officials contend that it was done to have them kept intact from any attack of the rebel forces who are now operating in the northern part of Sonora.
 The cattle are in charge of Mar shal Overlook and will be held here awaiting the outcome of the trial

GARDEN IF EDEN IN THE YUMA
 VALLEY
EgyptoIogist Discovers Place Where Eve DweIt-Hierogiyphi Carved in Solid Rock Walls Tells the
 Startling Story.

Yuma, Ariz.-From the earliest times the location of the North Pole, as we'll as that of the Garden of Eden has been a matter of considerable conjecture and intense interest. All are familiar with the recent discovery of the North Pole the the cold, bleak, wind-swept, vast stretches of ice and snow representing the total scenic in vestitute instead of the land of prom superior humans which the imagin- ation was pleased to conjure into be- ing.
 More in accordance with the soar ing of the imagination is the location of the Garden of Eden recently dis covered by Mrs R. N. Gilbo, Egypt ologist and student of ancient re search. After an exhaustive study and translation of the hieroglyphics carved in the solid rock walls of Ari- zonas matchless canyons, Mrs Gilbo stoutly maintains that the rich and fertile Yuma valley is the one, only and original Garden of Eden. These hieroglyphics consist of representa- tions of objects of every kind, a pic toral record for ages gone by. There is hardly a cliff in Arizona that does not bear some inscription or sign of those ancients, whom Mrs GilbO de clares are the familiar figures of the Old Testament.
 Whether or not Mrs, Gilbo is cor rect will be left open for speculation. but it is none the less true that a more ideal spot could not have been selected than Yuma valley, with it's thousands of acres of semi-tropical fruits and waving fields of grain glistening in the sun.

PICTURESQUE PIONEER DIES; BAXTER REMARKABLE
 CHARACTER

W llllam BaXter WHO was ldlQ away yesterday in the Pioneer cemetery of Miller valley, was one of the remark able men of Arizona of early days, and of whose splendid citizenship on ly his more intimate acquaintenceS had any knowledge.
 He arrived in Tucson in 1860, and ~fter the breaking out of the Civil
 Var went to Fit. Union, New Mexico. where he voluntarily entered the ranks of the Union side, although he was at that time a native of England. Serving over two and one-half years as chief of artillery, he was mustered out at the expiration of his service when he again returned to Tucson, and later in 1864, he arrived on Lynx Creek, near this city, where he fol- lowed placer mining. He returned to Southern Arizona and was in charge of the business of several freighting sessing keen business ability as an accountant.
 Again he returned north, and in the early 70's was in charge of the cor rals of the military post at Fort Whip pie. Retiring from that vocation which was a very responsible one in that day, he went to Los Angeles specifically for the purpose of being naturalized. Judge Sepulveda per formed this duty, when MT. Baxter again came to Prescott and for over thirty-eight years resided continuous ly in this country.
 One beautiful trait in his military career in New Mexico is revived by his death and shows him to have been a man with a magnanimous soul. The occasion was when he was mustered out of service, when he overlook on the trail toward Tucson bunch" Of fifteen sympathizers of the confeder- acy, who had been ordered out of the district of which Fort Union was the center. MT. Baxter found these men without food or water, and all were blindly going over a mountain trail that led nowhere. GaHoping his horse up the steep trail, he brought them to la halt, and informed all of the peril that awaited the party if they persist ed in travelling further. He wore the uniform of the union soldier, and he knew who the men were when he of fered them assistance that saved their lives. Ten of these confederates were afterward residents of Prescott and there are still alive in Arizona at least five who will substantiate the above
 incident as having occurred and ac- cord the deceased that homage due his memory. MT. Baxter was a man of extraordinary physical ability, and while he possessed will of iron, his gentle manners and generous dispo- sition were known to those who knew him best. He was among the first to be admitted to the Pioneers Home in Prescott, and he was beloved by every one of that colony. Privations of early days undermined his wonder full physique but the mentality of the man was preserved and up to the last
 minute and he was as genial as in the days gone. He passed away from a hemorrh- age of the stomach, an ailment that seized him many years ago. He was
 aged about S3 years, and a native of
 England-JournalM Miner
