WILL MAKE BRICK IN SPRING.
G. W. COnklin Has About Completed
 Purchase of Equipment.

A letter from George W. Conklin, who some weeks ago purchased the old Huston brick plant and ma chinery here, and who has been in Kansas City for some time arrang- ing for additional equipment, states that he has about completed his task and, with his associate, will be in Mena by the middle of No- Vember to begin active work in putting the plant in shape for busi- ness. He expects to be making brick early next spring. Several families will come from Kansas City to take part in the operation of the enterprise.

Two Trials-Same Verdict.

In civil suit in Justice H. J. Rad cliffe's court Friday between A. J Smith and Frank Haas of Big Fork the jury awarded the plaintiff Si5 and costs. This was the second trial of the case. Tn former hear ing before Judge Radcliffe he gave the plaintiff the same verdict. The defendant asked for a new trial and by a jury. This was granted, but in both instances the verdict was the same. The jury was not aware that the ease had been tried before and knew nothing of the former verdict by the justice. Notice of appeal has been filed.

OPEN RESERVATION
WOuI Mean an Influx of Settlers in the Trade Territory Adjacent
 to Mcna.

If the plan of the government eventually to open the national for est reserve to homesteaders ma terializes, it would mean that thou sands of acres of land in the trade territory of Mena would be rapidly settled, and would mean much to the business interests of this city.
 The demand for tillable land in Arkansas is growing in proportion to the increase of population, and the far-famed Ozarks are being called upon to supply this demand. The steady influx of immigrants from practically every state ill the union has made this demand i'm perative to the government to throw open to homestead more land, inas- much as that now subject to entry has dwindled to the extent that 1t is very difficult to secure a desirable claim in most of the sections of the country.
 The government now has a corps of expert soil scientists and survey ors engaged in surveying and classi- flying the soil in the national forest reserve preliminary to opening it for homestead: that is, all that is adapted to cultivation,
 The greatest and most important industry in the state, except agri- culture, answers this common query-the timber industry, It matters not how poor the man and his family may be upon their ar rival at their claim, nor what in digent circumstances they might have always been in, if they have no fear of work they will find a source of revenue and ofttimes lu- cratiVe wages while clearing the land and preparing it for cultiva- tion-the sale of the timber makes | il so.

FINE VISIT WITH OLD FRIENDS
But William Ryan Thinks More
 Than Ever of Polk County.

William Ryan of Egger has re- turned from a visit of two months to Vermont and New York. scenes of his younger days, and with friends he had not seen in many years. He says he never had a more enjoyable time in his life. He had especially enjoyable times on Lake George and other lakes and at Fort TicOnderoga.
 Making comparison between that country and Polk county, Mir. Ryan says he came back thinking more than ever of what we have here. As an example of the long severe win ters there, he stated that they had frost on September 10, killing corn and all garden truck, and soon all will be locked up for months in snow and ice. From the time he left here until just before he started home he saw no rain, and the peo- pie were forced to put forth great efforts to get water. The most of the country he saw on returning was still in the grip of drouth.
 The greatest industry in the country, he asserted, and by far the most profitable as a money pro- ducer, unless it be entertaining summer tourists, is the dairy busi- ness. It seems, he said, to be a natural country of grasses and meadows, but in most all other crops Polk county was far more productive. While that was for merly a great lumber country, now they have but little left, and even are working up the large branches of trees. They do not even edge the boards, and lumber sells at from $40 to Sl00 per thousand feet. As a means 10 acquaint some of his easter friends with the country of his choice, Mr. Ryan arranged for them to receive a Polk county pa per for the next year.

SAWNILLS TO CLOSE
Decline in Price of Lumber Will Affect the Lumber Industry
 Around Mena.

It was rumored on the streets of Mena Friday that the sharp decline in the price of lumber would cause the two blaming mills operating in this city to close down.
 In an interview with a Star rep resentative as to the probability of the Mena planers closing, and as to whether or not the action of Congress in placing lumber on the free list was responsible for the present low price of that com modity, A. H. Scoggin of the Scog- gin Lumber Company, said:
 Tt is not altogether the removal of the tariff on lumber that is re- sponsible for it's low price, Of course that has it's effect, but the failure of crops and other depress- ing conditions have caused a de- cline in the demand for lumber.
 We have contracts to purchase the output of about fifteen mills in this vicinity, and we are not re- newing these contracts as they eX- pire, nor are we making any new contracts. Without a market for their output these mills will ne3es- sarily have to shut down. As it is we can hardly operate at profit, and on some lines we are losing money.
 We have enough rough lumber on our yards and at our mills to enable us to operate throughout the winter, and probably until spring; after that l cannot say.
 Tt may be that conditions will change for the better But from all appearances people have quit buy ing lumber.'
 W. E. Watkins, of the Watkins Lumber Company, attributes the present low price of lumber tC overproduction, and is of the opin- ion that the present tariff law will not affect the industry to any great extent. He is confident that the business will soon adjust itself and become normal. Their blaming mill will not close.
 Both Mr. Scoggin and Mr. Wat kins are optimistic about the fu- ture of their business, and are con- fident that the present depression in the lumber industry is of g temporary nature.

$l,S47,775 IS PAID
 IN FIRE INSURANCE
Park Hotel Owners Receive Largest Sum of Hot Springs Sufferers
 Companies May Withdraw Un- less Better Protected.

Hot Springs, Sept. 26.-According to the report of insurance adjusters, I$l,S47,775.3l has been paid to policy holders of the insurance companies doing business in Hot Springs since the great fire of Friday, September 3. The report of the adjusters, which has been compiled with great care, furnishes some very interest ing statistics on insurance.
 The Garland Hotel Company of Chicago, which owned the magniti- cent Park hotel, carried the greater amount of insurance. To this com pany the adjusterS state they have paid Sl75999.75.
 only twenty-seven policies called for Si0,000 or more each. Three the Park hotel, the public school district and the Hot Springs Water Company, carried insurance that totaled S376,249.75. The school board will receive Sil0,500 for the loss of the Central High school building and the two negro schools that burned. The insurance of the water company will aggregate SS9,- 750. The Moody hotel carried an insurance of $56,500 and S55,000 rep resents the insurance on the Gar 1 land county court house. The Houseley Bros, represent the next heaviest insured interest, their policies calling for $3i,250.
 Demand Better Protection.
 Insurance companies doing busi- ness in Hot Springs have been rather hard hit the last ten years Two great fires have taken place iI that time. It is said that unless the city meets certain demands the Icompanies will decline to do busi- ness in Hot Springs in the future Among the demands, it is reported will be the following:
 An increase in the force of fire men from twelve to twenty men.
 The city to again put in service the old aerial truck. This, provid- cu IHOIUI IS IllSIdlltu, VIII COo' about S3,OOO.
 The immediate purchase of an additional auto fire truck.
 Immediate improvement of the city's water service, including the placing of larger mains, with more crossings of mains where connec- tions are to be made.
 The full equipment of the fire de- partment with all necessary hose and other fire-flghtng materials al all times.
 The foregoing are not considered unreasonable demands. The board of public works has already beer instructed by the city council tC purchase an auto fire truck, anC the citizens realize that the time has come when Hot Springs must protect itself against fires.

 Interest paid out on indebtedness.
 National state, county, school or municipal taxes paid within the year.
 Trade losses or storm or fire loss es not covered by insurance.
 Worthless debts charged off dur ing the year.
 A reasonable allowance for the depreciation of property,
 Dividends from companies whose income has already been taxed.
 Interest from state, municipal or government bonds.
 It is a clear provision of the law, however, that the taxable person must make a return to the internal revenue collector for his entire net income, and exemptions claimed under the law must be submitted to the federal officers for them to determine upon their reasonable ness or legality. PrOpOrtiOning of Tax.
 The amount of the income tax as finally agreed upon follows:
 From S3.O00 to S20,000 1 per cent,
 From S2O.0OQ to S50,000, ? per cent.
 From S5O,OOd to S75.000 3 per cent.
 From $75,OOO to $l00,000, 1 per cent.
 From slOOOOO to $25O,OOO, per cent.
 From S25OOOO to $5OO,OOO, 6 per cent.
 Above S50O,OOO, : per cent. A single man with an income of S25,OO0, for example, would pay 1 per cent on Si1O0O and ? per cent on 5000, total tax of S270.
 If married the first tax of 1 per cent would apply to only Sl6,00O of the income.
