GOVERNMENT SEEKING LOCA-
TION FOR TRAINING GROUND
FOR STATE MILITIA.
Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 6, 1912.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 6, 1912.
Mr.. Frank E. Robins, Editor Log
Cabin Democrat, Conway, Ark:
Dear Sir-The United States gov
eminent is now seeking a location of
200 to 1000 acres of land to be used
as a permanent camp and mobiliza-
ton point for the Arkansas militia in
case of war. 1t is quite probable that
if desirable location can be secured
somewhere near the center of the
state, that a rifle range would be
constructed thereon, permanent quar-
ters built, and both regiments would
camp thereon each year for a week or
two. 1t occurs to me that Conway
could furnish very desirable loca-
ton.
The site must be located on rail
road or spur, there must be plenty
Of good water, good drainage, and
must be offered for sale at very
reasonable price
1t occurs to me that a location
along the Iron Mountain railroad,
with the Cadron ridge as a back
ground, might be secured.
Other things being equal, | believe
Conway because of its location acces-
sibility and dry state" could secure
this proposition.
| am sending you this for what it is
worth. Use it in any way you see fit,
but if Conway wants to be consider
ed, they must act at once, as the war
department is already inspecting To-
cations. Their committee is at Alex
ander today They will be in no hur-
ny to decide, however, if other loca-
tons are submitted for investigation.
Very truly yours,
o. D. LONGSTRETH.
When the above letter was called
to the attention of G. l. Banner,
secretary of the Board of Trade, he
promptly said; Conway ought to
get it. The natural conditions sur
rounding Conway make for a desira-
bic camping place, for we have three
very important conditions, one of
which is drainage; another, good
water, while the third is freeness
from malaria.
"The fact that Conway is nearer the
geographical center of the state
than any other town in it, is an ad-
vantage not to be overlooked, while
we have excellent railroad facilities,
it is only short distance to the Ar
kansas river, which might be used
for transportation in case of war.
AS a business investment for the
town, the money the soldiers would
spend during their annual encamp-
ment would pay well for all the
trouble of assisting the government
in securing a desirable location.
GAS | understand it, the United
States government is not looking for
a donation in the way of land, but
expects 10 purchase at reasonable
price the most desirable location it
can find for the purpose of a perma-
nent camp and mobilization for the
Arkansas militia in case of war As
to the individual tract to be selected
as best here, we would doubtless hear
from others, who have land to sell or
who would select some definite loca-
ton.
IF the people of the town want it
land it may never have occurred to
you that that's the essential thing in
getting most of the things we have)
| believe the Board of Trade would be
very prompt to give all assistance"

Over Seventy Thousand Dollar;
Will Be Divided Today
Among Them.
SCHOOL FUNDS RETURNED
Decision That Territory Must
Bear All Extra Expense
for Education.
SCHOOL FUNDS RETURNED

As a result of a series of confer.
ences the past week between Governor
Frear, Territorial Auditor Fisher and
Territorial Treasurer Conkling, during
which several reams of scratch paper
were covered with figures, it has been
decided that excess expenditures for
schools must be paid out of the cur.
rent funds of the Territory, and that
it was an error to charge the sum of
$70,l5916 deficit in the school fund to
ial Treasurer Conkling Will, today,
mail checks to the various counties S, re-
imbursing them, and SO bring Christ
mas joy to various boards of supervis-
ors.
The City of Honolulu will be the
largest beneficiary, for it will receive
the sum of 500, 460.04, and the present
board of supervisors will have this
amount on hand to expend before it
goes out of Office.
The county of Maui will receive
$l3, 53s.22; Hawaii, $l5,32s.1s, and
Kauai, $7S32.72.
This money will come out of the
general fund of the Territory and the
schools will end the year of 1912 with
a surplus of $4,000 to $4,000.
The mistake in charging the &c.,
1916 to the counties is explained as
follows:
The last legislature, it seems, made
no appropriation for schools, expecting
that they would be taken care through
the tax receipts for the latter part of
1912.
One.third of all til real and per-
sonal taxes for 1911 were to go to the
school fund and the other two-thirds
to the counties. After the division
had been made it was discovered that
the schools had spent $70,159l6 more
than the sum allotted from the taxes
for this purpose and this deficit was
made up by an advance from the gen
eral fund of the Territory.
When it came to getting this money
back to the territorial treasury, in
stead of repaying it from the school
funds for l9l2, it was deducted from
the shares OF the counties in the
taxes, under the mistaken idea that the
counties had TO pay for the schools,
whereas the schools are to be sup
ported from the funds allotted for the
purpose--the ne-third of the real and
personal tax receipts. The counties
are in no ways chargeable for such de-
ficits as may occur.
Under this ruling if the schools
spend more than the amount allotted
for the purpose, the general fund of the
Territory must bear the brunt and the
Territory may reimburse itself to the
extent of the surplus remaining in the
school fund at the end of the period.
In this instance, if the school fund has
surplus of $25, 900, the school ex-
pense borne by the general fund of the
Territory will be something like
$4,000.

MANY FOUNTAINS
]: IN HALEMAbMAU

TECHNOLOGY STATION, Deem
Der ,l2.-The changes in Halemaumau
during the week have not been great;
the lava is rising and increasingly ac-
tive with many fountains. The follow.
ing levels have been measured:
Deg I, 366 feet approx. below s. W.
station, 10 a. m.
Dec. 9, 35s feet below s. w. station,
IL a. m.
Dee. IL, 356 feet approx. below s. W.
station, noon.
Dec. ~, 3j2 feet below S. w. station,
1890 p. M, south cove.
Dee. u, $40 feet below s. w. station,
1890 p IN, west end.
On December Z the fumes were dense
from fumaroles w. NE, Sc. and SW
1t was rainy weather with veering
winds which diffused the fumes and
made seeing difficult. Shepherd 8
blowing cone at the east end of the
floor around the pool appeared larger
than before, and there was a still larger
cone under the Tuning wall at the west
end.
The strong activity with many foun-
tains recalled the July conditions. Old
Faithful was exploding heavily at in
tervels averaging one minute, and there
was second large rhythmic fountain
in the west part of the pool. There
were covcs NV, W., s., and Sc, with
ebullition and downsucking at their
extremities, and SW. peninsula of
scum made out into the lake, sometimes
dividing it in two, then rending apart
so that the two halves fiOated off east
and west. The surface currents pour
ed in all directions away from this
peninsula, meeting others from the west
and south.
December 8, in the very early morn
ing, it was cold, and four pronounced
vapor Jets were conspicuous, seen from
the observatory, on the high NE. slope
of Mauna Loa, between the two highest
conelets Three were between these
cones ard one was below the lower of
the cones, as seen in profile from the
Volcano House district. The highest
Jet was the second from the summit,
and as this rose four or FIVE times the
height of the cones, it must have been
several hundred feet high. The visi-
hility and height of these jets are
doubtless enhanced from time to time
by atmospheric conditions Two jets
at this same place have been under
observation by us since August, 1912,
but this is the first time we have seen
four.
There has been snow on Mauna Loa
and Maura Kea recently and probably
the cold weather on the mountain in
creases condensation in those vapors
which contain water, thus making them
more conspicuous. Since this date
Mauna Loa has been very free from
cloud and generally visible, but the
vapoI' lets have been rarely seen.
On December the coyes were less
pronounced, the lake was a long oval
with slight promontories SW. and Sc.
with a line of downsucking trending
northeastwafd across the western half
of the pool. The morning of Deeem

of the lake over the platform of chilled

GOVERNOR SAILS
TO FAR-A-WAY
ISLES
Revenue Gutter Thetis Starts
for Laysan and Midway
Islands.
SCIENTISTS ALSO ON BOARD
Attorney General Lindsay viii
Be Lost at Sea With
Ceremonies.
ALSO ON BOARD
(From Monday Advcrtisor)

The Governor of Hawaii has left his
bonnie home and sailed oversee to the
lar end of his dominions. Likewise has
gone the chief lawman, the attorney
general. The United States revenue
cutter Thets at six 'clock last night
was midtown to westward and fast
disappearing in the direction of Laysan
Island, lonely little spot in the middle
of Father Pacific, whittier the Governor
fees.
At four clock yesterday afternoon
the anchors of the Thetis sucked out of
the harbor, n sailor slipped down to
the martingale and hosed the mud Off the
chain ms it appeared and the Governor
leaned over the rail and snapped pic
turc of him. Then he shot his camera
at the four ends of the earth, thereby
insuring himself complete view of the
Home Harbor long after his vista has
narrowed down to coral reef and u
hunk of sand way out to nowhere.
The Governor spent a busy morning
preparing for his trip yesterday, but
when about three O'Clock he stepped
into tie Thetis' launch at the boat
landing in company with Attorney Cen
eral Lindsay, he had left all his cares
behind him. Once on the deck of the
Thetis, he fastened to stow his luggage
in the cabin selected for him aft and
then sauntered about the deck taking
pictures of the start, At five minutes
past four the screw of the Thetis gave
n chug, boatswain signaled the bridge
that all was clear aft, as the stern lines
ran in, and the revenue cutter slipped
out of the harbor with nary commotion
or fuss.
The attorney general went below as
soon as the Governor, but he stayed
there,
"Where's Judge Lindsayf" queried
an inquisitive person from rowboat,
"He's all on board now, but i can't
say how much of him will be in n few
minutes" replied Governor Frear with
a twinkle Mt the companionway, whittier
the face of the attorney general that
moment appeared. The latter blinked.
lie is "rotten" sailor and the first
two days are always misery to him.
The Governor will return with this
trip of the Thetis, but Attorney Gem
era Lindsay will never come back.
Somewhere out in the middle of the
Pacific round about Christmas Day he
will drop his title overheard midst SOL
emn ceremonies, wherein, doubtless,
Captain Cochran of the Thetis will prob
ably read the funeral service. When
he returns he will cease to be chief law
man of the Territory, but simple Alex
ander Lindsay, Jr., attorney and coun-
| sellor-at-law. Another man will have
filed his shoes.
Commodore Salisbury, u. S. NJ, re-
tired, and his three assistants, who will
make an pathological survey or Lay.
san and other islands, sailed with the
cutter.
