DONACHEY TO RUN
 FOR THE SENATE
OPPOSE SENATOR CLARKE
ALSO ANNOUNCED - BRUN- DIDGE MAY RUN.

Little Rock, Oct 29.-It cannot be said to have been the unexpected which happened Saturday, when Gov ernor Geo. w. Donaghey authorized an announcement that he is a candi- date for the United States senate to succeed Senator James P. Clarke.
 For some time his friends had be- lieved such an announcement immi- nent, and his formal entry only serves to advance earlier the gage of what will probably prove one of the state s most interesting political battles.
 From the carpenters bench to a seat in the United States senate, the worlds most august legislative aybOdy is the ambition of Arkansas business governor. He has developed into a political fighter unafraid When he first sought the governors chair he defeated strong combination; he was not permitted to secure seconA term without hard fight, defeating C. c. Kavanaugh overwhelmingly, in the last campaign, for a third term, he was as badly vanquished by Joe T. Robinson, carrying only five counties.
 Governor Donaghey feels that he has still message for the people Of Arkansas, and proposes to tell it to them at the proper time. He prom ises to reveal to them conditions of which they are ignorant, and to do this he aspires to the highest office in the gift of the people of the state, unfinished by former victories, or un- detained by recent defeat.
 His announcement is simple and straightforward:
 
 .'I will be candidate for the Unit ed States senate, to succeed Hon. Jas. r. Clarke
 When the time comes for making a canvass for this office, l shall take the stump and discuss the issues in all sections of the state.
 At the end of this term, Senator Clarke will have served two terms of F years as senator from this state.
 Ut is customary for those who as- pire to this office to have first served the people as governor.
 II have been through the fires of the governors office at a time when there has been more constructive work to do and more of it done for the state than in any period since the days of reconstruction.
 "As to how well my work has been done, after the balance has been struck, the canvass opened and the public informed, then the people can fudge for themselves"
 Nothing further is said as to his platform, or the issues upon which he will rely. It may be surmised that the governor will spend a great deal of his time between this and the pri mary in March, 1914, in mending hIs political fences. And much may hap pen in that time. Senator Clarke has told his friends that he will be a candidate for reelection, although he has made no formal announcement: Congressman Oldfield of the Second district, who will next week be elected

BRIDGES.

Larry ln my administration l be- came convinced that the wooden bridges of the county were sources of needless expense. Expensive re- pairs on them were constantly called for, and l found that in many in- stances the county had paid out on repairs on some of our larger wooden bridges more than enough to pay the cost of installing steel bridges in their places. My predecessor, Judge w. B. Wilson, was the pioneer judge of the county in the matter of steel bridges, he having constructed four of them during his term of office Since my last annual report to you, l have built 16 steel bridges in the county. During my administration of county judge, 1 have built in all 25 steel bridges, and I now have three more in the course of construction. Some of these bridges, such as the King bridge, the bridge at Hartwick's Mill, and at White Oak, are very long, high and expensive bridges. For the 25 steel bridges built by me I have spent approximately $25,000 in scrip. The approaches to these bridges have also been built by the county and paid for in county scrip, and some of these approaches are quite expensive. For instances. the approach to the King bridge has cost in the neighborhood of $2,000, but it is splendid piece of work and we'll worth the money. In my opinion, the county is now we'll supplied with bridges, with the excep- tion of two places. New bridges should be built at once across Muddy bayou at Bristol and across East Cad ron at the Ed Atkeison place.
 COUNTY JAIL.
 Our county jail is now in a good state of repair I am glad to report that the matter of caring for prison CTS in the jail has been economically handled during the past year, and believe l can safely say that the man. agement of prisoners during the past year has been the best in the history of the county. Our sheriff, J. s. John son, understands well how to handle prisoners in jail and he deserves great credit for his work along that line.
 POOR FARM.
 The county owns a poor farm, con sisting of 160 acres, near Conway which is probably worth $5,0O0. On

to his third term in the lower house has announced that he will be can didate for the senatorial toga. EX- Congressman Brundidge, who was de feated by Jeff Davis by less than 10,- GOO, has made no statement of his in- tentions, neither has Congressman Floyd, who is to be elected next week to his fifth term, with the statement that he will not ask for reelection Should Senator Clarke, for any req son, not make the race, Governor Robinson would be expected again tC measure lances with the carpenter statesman of Conway.
 Senator Clarke succeeded James k Jones in 1903, and his term of office will expire March 3, 1915. He has been in public life since 1886, when he was elected to the Arkansas legis- lature from Phillips county. He is recognized as one of the strong mem bers of the senate, a statesman of the old school, and was most warmly com mended by ex-President Roosevelt in Little Rock
 Vim. A. Oldfeld is only 38 years old, but he has been in politics for the last 10 years, beginning as prosecut- ing attorney. He is serving his sec ond term, and has attained great prominence in the house as chairman of the committee on patents.
 Between these three is the fight likely to rage. Each is an indefati- gable campaigner, and each has per- sonal following that will go the limit for their champion. The formal en- try of Governor Donaghey means that the contest will be one of the hardest fought in the history of the state.

 The following extracts from a private letter handed THE OASIS, show that the mining interest that has sprung up in the Patagonia mountains this year, shows no sign ofabatement, and that the outlook for a mining boom over there is greater than ever:
 H''l have just got chance to put a man to work on your claim at $2 per day, and he has started work this morning.
 "There is little chaDce to get men. The R, R. R. wants thirty men, and they are paying $250 per day for Mexicans. The Copper Queen wants men also, and they are paying $4 per day for white men and $2.50 per day for Mexi- cans. t~
 "They (the Copper Queen) have struck vein eighty feet wide be- tween the Worlds Fair and the Trench mines-the east extension of the Worlds Fair mine, in the Harshaw district. Some of their claims run close to the copper group of George Wieland in the Jefferson Camp. They have been hauling rails and cars to the mines the last four days, and now they are hauling lumber to build houses for the men.
 "JohnsOn and 1 were over there yesterday. They are working day and night. They are building trails and wagon roads to get ir their supplies
 "Yesterday (the 15th) there were some of the Queens people coming over from Bisbee in their big auto. mobile to take look at the new strike. A mining engineer named Miller is surveying the ground and also surveying tunnel site They are working two big tunnels now, on the Sheehy group, or which the Queen people took ar option.
 "I was talking with Sheehy yes terday, and he assured me that il is true that the Copper Queer people have bonded their thirteer claims, but he said the price is no so high as has been Stated-$100, 900. He said it is much less, anC
