The greatest successes in the world are arrived at through utilizing the opportunity that is placed at our doors.
 Here in Hot Springs. during the pe- Tfod of the Arkansas State Fair, there should be given tournament of auto hill climbing contests. with valuable prizes to the winners.
 It would be the innovation of the automobile world and the sporting world
 It would take to the attention of the world the fact that the Ozark mountains surrounding Hot Springs, are threaded with splendidly graded mountain drives. of various grades.
 It would present picture to tho world of autes squirting ap grade over these roads, pictures told m photographic prints in every modern magazine of the times.
 There would be attendant dangers for the contestants. but if there were no dangers there would be no morb'd interest.
 To make the races open to the world, and advertise them properly. would mean thal the auto makers or the world would send their best op- orators here, and the records made here would be advertised for ages to come.
 Sometimes we say if we had a speedway like some of the ocean re sorts we would have auto races Say, If some of the other resorts had mountain roads like we have got they would be holding annual hill climbing and endurance road tests that would he fixture in the automobile world, and the .higgett resort advertising feature ever suggested.
 This is big thing. It means that in the fall of the year from one mountain side could be witnessed spectacular contests on another noun tain side. game or sport in which this city could have no competitions and one that would be certain to at tract hundreds of thousands of pep pie at least after the first year when the game was made famous.

NORTH CAROLINA. FIRST.

Where North Carolina sits is the
head of the table in cotton production
as in SO many other things. It did not
plant SO many acres in cotton as sew
cral other States, but when it comes
TO the amount raised per acre North
Carolina was in the lead. According
to the Government estimate North
Carolina made SO per cent Of a bale
to the acre, South Carolina ga per
cent, Alabama Al per cent, Mississippi
"a per cent, Louisiana IS per cent,
Texas 40 per cent, Arkansas 81 per
cent, Oklahoma "a per cent, while
Georgia and Tennessee made Just
about half 4 bale to the acre.
Next year North Carolina will put
in fewer acres and grow plenty of
hog and hominy and wheat and oats.
1t Will reduce cotton acreage twenty-
tive per cent. It is not too late now
70 plant wheat n oats. Good crops
have been made planted in January.
Ii IS never too late to plant for hogs
and horniny-the basis Of a]ericultnrs
prosperity.

prints the figures, estimates that
North Carolina will build for 1917
1874 miles and that all the South Will
build 3.533 miles.
With fair conditions IL the money
centres. 1912 should be a big year for
railroad building in North Carolina.
Already 1t is certain that the Norfolk
Southern will do much building In
order to onnec the lines they have
purchased. Immediately they will
build roads to connect the Raleigh
and Southport with the Durham and
Charlotte and they will build out
from the Aberdeen and Asheboro to
Concord and Charlotte. Inasmuch
as this road will invade the territory
Of other lines we may expect the older
lines to make extensions, and already
a number Of independent short roads
are being constructed.

For the past few years there has been a persistent rumor that the Japanese current had been diverted by some subterraueau or submarine kink which had caused it to flow nearer the north Pacific coast, thus meuowiug the Alaska climate. When the ceodetic ships came north from the sound this spring, they were given orders to ascertain if there had been any change in the ocean currents. but they have made no re port which has yet been given to rhe public The rumor, however has been passed along until now tt has assumed the importance Of truth. and there are plenty Of peo- pie who are willing to swear to it's authenticity
 The fact that our glaciers are reccdmc. indicates that the climate is gradually growing mnder, but that has been going on for years, perhaps centuries, so there has probably been no noticeable change within the memory Of anyone living in Alaska.
 That chauee which most Of us have noticed. comes not so much from the weather. as from the con veutcrces of travel and the better houses and modern appliances for comfort Tn the early days, when ono had to mush over the trails from tho coast to the interior and carry an his provisions on his back and sleep n the snow banks, it was easily believed that Alaska was the oortesr couatry under the heavens.
