A suspicion of criminal negligence
connected with the st. John Lake Gre
vase has caused an investigation in
to it's causes, to fix the blame for the
untimely, unanticipated break. The
levees are partly neglected during
low water time and the interest in
them is awakened only when the first
disastrous tales of ruin in Northern
parts reaches the ears of the engi-
neers and when the river is too well
swollen for staunch, resisting levees
to be built. The United States engi-
neer there contends that it could not
have been prevented. What an exhib-
ition Of resignation and an admission
OF fruitlessness. That same engineer
most likely has built levees which
were powerless and whose destruction
nc one could prevent and he has spent
money in vain, though he knew at the
time that they would be powerless
and possibly vulnerable. If he did not
built them he, by inaction, advocated
their being built, and, behold, we
have the spectacle of a nan confess
ing the non-dependability of levees
and at the same time urging the
spending of public money for the pur.
chase of sand that will fail to stand
fast at the moment for which it was
built.
The Calcasieu Timber Company, OF
Maine, conveyed to the Crowell &
Spencer Lumber Company, of Louisi-
ana, 28,O78 acres of virgin pine lands
in Evangeline Parish for the price OF
S2,O42, 900, or for the average price
OF about S73 an acre. The Maine cor
%poration in 1911 bought 41,739 acres
of land in which these sold acres are
contained for $76O,0OO. The enormous
profit realized on their investment OF
course is not the average, but 1t Is
an indication of how valuable LOuisi
ana's pine lands are to lumbermen in
particular and this fiction-like sale
will interest many who will be scarce
ly able to believe that land in little
less than two years should almost in
crease triple in value.

ALL SPECIAL CAME
 LAWS ARE ANl|LLfD
SUPREME COURT DECISION
FISH AND GAME BELONG TO WHOLE PEOPLE OF STATE,
 COURT DECLARES.

Little Rock, Nov. 18.-One of the most important decisions relative to the game laws of the state was hand ed down by the supreme court Mon day in the case of Lewis vs. State, on appeal from Grant circuit court. In effect, it declares that all the spe- cial and local game laws of the state are invalid.
 George Lewis of the Little Rock de- tective force, was fined $10 for hunt ing in Saline county in violation of act 280, approved March 29, 1913, which provides that non-residents may not hunt or fish in Grant, Hot Spring and Lonoke counties without paying a license of s1, under penalty of $1O to $50. Circuit court affirmed the justice court, but the supreme court reverses and dismisses the suit upon the ground that it is liscrimi- natory because it does not require the citizens of the counties named to pay a license also. The court says:
 "No reason is given in the act why citizens of these counties should be classified within a favored territory, having privileges not enjoyed by oth- CT citizens upon the same terms. The classification is based upon residence only, and without being shown furth- CT on the face of the act, it must be held as arbitrary and unjustly dis criminative as to citizens outside the territory mentioned.
 "The fish and game of the state be- long to the whole people of the stat, collectively. When it becomes neces- sary for the propagation and preser- vation of wild game and fish for the use of the public, the people acting in their sovereign capacity, through their law-making power, may pass laws to regulate the right of each in- dividual which he enjoys in common with every other member of the con- munity to the use of the same. But when the sovereign undertakes to regulate or restrain the individual in its right as member of the commun- ity to enjoy to take and use the com mon property of all, it must do so upon the same terms to all members of the community alike"

COOL WEATHER IS
 A CRIME DETERRENT
ATTENDANCE" AT REFORM SCHOOL DROPS AS HOT
 WEATHER ENDS.

Little Rock, Nov. 13.-The effects of cool weather, which seems to curb the unlawful spirit of the youthful offenders, is being felt at the state reform school. This institution, with nearly 50 inmates in the summer, has dwindled to a daily feed line of 28 There are more on the road to the penal institution, but there are also a number who have about served their terms.
 1t seems as if the warm weather has it's effect upon crime says Super intendent Deaton, flor when it be- gins to get warm the boys flock in and when it is cool they go out, with few to take their places. We hardly have enough boys during the winter to cut the firewood, but in the sum- mer there are more than we can raise vegetables for on our well rocked hillside. So many country courts meeting in the summer may have something to do with it, but l believe the warm weather has more, or we would have more boys in the winter than We do."

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 It is time to sod the grounds of the courthouse park, or it will remain, for another year at least, part of the "ragged-edge" of Conway, apart from the beauty of the park and the aesthetic pleasure it affords the pub lie. The sodding is important to keep the grounds from washing and the soil being deposited on the sidewalk.
 The Conway School and Civic Club wishes to raise money for the sod ding and also for cutting the dead branches from the trees.
 It is hoped the public will take note of this work for another step in the city's advancement, approve heartily and speak and act as valliantly for the cause as it demands.

T IND MAN DYING;
POLICE HUNT PLOT

Found dying on the street few
blocks from his home. ]. w. Rice,
proprietor of a lodging house in
Twelfth and Castro streets, Oakland,
is believed to have been murdered
last night. He succumbed few
hours after he was picked up. A
fracture of the skull. apparently in
fiicted with a blunt weapon. is mysti-
flying the police, who are investiga-
ting to determine whether Rice's
death was due to an accidental fall
or whether he was slain.
Rice was 60 years old and had come
to Oakland some time ago from
Fresno. He had left his lodging
house few hours before and was
evidently on his way home at the
time he met his fate. He did not
recover consciousness before he died.
Rice was formerly one of the best
known journalists in the eastern
states, having been associated on the
editorial stats Of number of big
dailies. He was a personal friend OF
Hoke Smith, United States senator
former governor and publisher OF
Georgia A year ago Rice came 70
