POSTMASTER WILL
 TRY AGRICULTURE
With Newfangled Styles he Buys piow and Will
 Try the Simple Life

An old time plow stock, which was first noticed some days ago by the side of the postoffice build ing, has been the subject of con- siderable comment, and many have wondered where it came from, who was the owner of 1t and what it was doing there.
 Being interested in anything unusual, a Journal reporter, while in a rather inquisitive mood few days ago, decided to solve the mystery of its presence there, and soon made the discovery that 1t be- longs to the postmaster, and learn ed on what seems good authority that he is making preparations to join the great army of tillers of the soil.
 A prominent citizen claims to have overheard a conversation a few days ago, in which the post master IS alleged to have expressed himself about as follows:
 Yes that blow belongs to me. 1 see in nearly all these fool Dem- ocratic papers where they are ad- vising Wilson, as soon as he is sworn in, to revoke the order plac- ing postmasters under the civil service. l look for things to go pell-mell as soon as they get in power, and everyone of us stand patters will be kicked out, so have decided to join the "back to the land' movement and go to farming. 1 got a chance to buy that plow cheap few days ago and bought 1t because it is of the old Abe Lincoln type and Pm not much of hand for the new fangl- ed things and so much frills and fancies In fact, I'm a sticker for the common things and I firmly believe if the Republican conven vention had stuck to the old way of doing things instead of discord- ing them and bringing in that new-fangled steam roller, every thing would still be ali right. And then the blamed Bull Moose got excited and thought they would run some more newfangled dope over the country. But as time rolls on, 1 can forgive them, be- cause when a whole party gets shot with a pea and then declare that they can't find the bullet, there aint much to them. Now If Powell Clayton knew 1 had that old-time blow there, he'd buy 1t at any price, as a relic of war times and would have that fracture on the end of the beam tied up in rib bon. But when Wilson gets in office the country is liable to go to the bow-wows and everybody may have to go back to using that kind of blows, so 1 think I'll just keep 1t; 1t looks good to me, for as 1 said, l don't like these newfangl- ed things and these steam roller doings no way"

MUCH LOSS FROM
 BLACK RIVER FLOOD
Levee Cut Near Lockhart Causes Big Loss to Mill Owners and
 Farmers Along River

Black river is reported higher than 1t has been in a number of years and considerable damage has been done by the high water.
 Near Lockhart 1t is reported that large levee that had been built about two years ago, was dynamited by unknown parties, causing heavy loss to property.
 The Sexton farm, which lies immediately below the levee, IS reported to have been practically ruined by the swift current sweep ing over 1t though the numerous breaks in the leyee caused by the dynamiting.
 Lands belonging to the Jones Investment Co.,, of BatesvilIe, are said to have been badly damaged also.
 It is reported that more than a hundred head of cattle are known to have perished in the flood, be- sides several head of horses and probably 200 or 300 head of hogs.
 It is said that every log on the yard at Wyatt's mill was swept away. Several thousand feet of lumber was lost also and consider able damage was done to the mill machinery. The mill hands lived in small houses near the mill and every house was flooded from two to four feet deep. The occupants were forced to flee to the hills for safety, using such small boats as could be secured at the mill to convey their families to the high lands.
 Some logs and lumber at Geo. L. Greens sawmill were swept away by the high waters, but most of the logs were caught, and the loss at his mill not be so great.
 Considerable material on the yard at D. P. Whisnant'S mill was ruined by the water and MT. Whisnant's loss will be several hundred dollars.
 A number of head of stock were drowned in the Dota neighbor- hood but 1t has been impossible to find the exact loss.
 Mrs. Cora Wilson lost horse, Jim Barber lost a horse and Dr. A. L. McClard lost mare.
 Several head of cattle and a large number of hogs are reported drowned in that neighborhood.
 The ferryboat at the Magness ferry on White river was swept away, as was also the ferryboat at the Chamberlain ferry.
 A large gasoline boat belonging to George Holderby of this place sank near the Chamberlain ferry Mir. Holderby also lost about 250 cottonwood logs which had been banked on the river for rafting. His loss on the logs will be about $500.
 White river has fallen several feet, and 1t is believed that the crest of the flood in Black has passed as 1t reached a stand We'd nesday and was reported yester- day to have fallen a few inches.

SENATORIAL FIGHT
 WAKES VERY WARM
Robinson Has Advantage Over Opponents and Claims 80
 Votes on First Ballot

Little Rock, Jan. 15.-The bien- nial assault upon the Kirby Digest IS now being made. The 39th ses- sion of the Arkansas General As sembly opened at noon Monday.
 The organization of both houses was in better shape at the conven- ing Monday than 1t had been for many years previously. By We'd neSday of the proceeding week the cohorts of the various candi- dates began their alignment, and by Friday night the Speakership and the Presidency were settled, and the two bodies were ready to enter upon the task of the minor officers from among the horde of applicants The fine Italian hand of the Lo- noke statesman was seen through. out the preliminaries, and from the first he seemed to have the well in hand.
 The first to be settled was the Presidency of the Senate. There were three candidates for the place, A. C. Martin of Faulkner, T. J. Raney of Independence, and W. K. Oldham of Lonoke. The vote was pretty well divided among the three with Raney ing having more pledges than either of the others. Martin, real izing that he could not win, with drew, and his supporters went in a body into the Oldham camp, giving him a strong lead over the Independence county man, who was forced to admit his defeat. This was looked upon by all as a Robinson victory, and many pre- dictions were made that 1t would have no small bearing upon the election of a United States Sena- tor.
 The greatest interest centers about the contest for United States Senator, and all the contingencies clustered about that complex and tangled situation. For the first time since the preferential pri. mary was adopted, the Legislature will be untrammeled by popular instruction in its selection of a Senator. Some of the legislators insist that the question be referred to a primary. Gov. Donaghey suggested that. Col. Brundidge made a proposition that 1t be sub- mitted to a primary. Gen. Nor wood accepted, expressing his willingness to submit to a pri. mary, with or without canvass. To hold primary without a can- vass, would have enabled Robinson to perform his duties as governor in the meantime without interrup- tion. But Robinson declined to enter into primary, declaring it impractical.
 But the friends of Brundidge and Norwood are active, and ex- press confidence. Their ability to muster sufficient force among the 135 members to bring about a deadlock is the thing that will make the result uncertain. It is stated by friends of Robinson however, that he has 86 pledged votes, whereas only 68 are neces. sary. Furthermore, 1t is admitted that Robinson has the advantage of being governor and controlling legislation for the greater part of the session, and this gives him the whip-hand. It is an influence that even his opponents must reckon with.

assessment of SIS was levied against
each county that participated In the
slopes exhibit at the Minneapolis land
show, and by the method the out
standing Indebtedness will be paid.
The Missouri Slope Development
league comprises practically all of the
counties Of southwestern North Da-
kota. During this first year OF exist
Ience it maintained a big exhibit at
the North Dakota exposition in Bis
marck, and another at the Minneapolis
land show. 1T also was represented
at the Chicago and New York shows.
That big benefits were derived from

suits attained through the Minneapolis
show.

AFTER THOSE
Who SELL To
"KID" SMOKERS

Cakes, N. u, Jan. 1s.-The habit
OF smoking and the use OF tobacco.
has become prevalent among the
young boys OF the city. and especially
among the boys OF the public schools
OF late. The deIeteriouE effect of the
filthy weed on the conduct and the
physical and mental condition Of some
OF the boys has, at last, aroused the
board OF education to a realization OF
the fact that a little closer enforce
ment OF the laws with reference to the
use and sale OF tobacco among minor
and school pupils, is necessary and
that the moral welfare of the younger
boys of the city and public schools
also demands that more attention be
paid to the laws prohibiting school
pupils and minors ~frequenting pool
halls. Accordingly, at a meeting last
week. the board of education unani-
mously adopted the following resolu-
ton:
resolved, that hereafter and after
the publication OF this resolution, the
laws regarding the sale OF tobacco in
any form to minors and pupils In the
public schools and the use Of the same
by them, and also the laws relating to
pool halls and the allowance OF minors
and school, pupils to frequent the
same, will be rigidly enforced, and
any person, whether pupil, ~gtorekeeper
or pool hall owner, caught violating
any Of these laws will be dealt with in
the mant1er provided by statute"
"And it is further resolved, that it
is hereby made the duty OF the super
intendent OF the public schools, the
teachers, and the school 5anitor to re-

STATE WELCOMES

WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA Is

Hebron, ". D., Jan. 1S.-Governor

with the business men of the western
part of the state by his recommends
ton for a state business or develop

Dakota has strongly felt the need
of the exploitation Of its natural re-
sources. With 500, 600, 600, 900 tons Of
coal underneath the western half OF
the state, some of it almost at the
surface, no section of the country can
compete with this in cheap fuel and
cheap power. With the great Mis-
souri, river the ideal location for i'm
mense power and manufacturing
plants is found. These advantages,
properly shown manufacturers, could

For years state experiments have
been conducted here with Ignite coal
for the purpose Of making briquettes
and developing cheap gas. There is a
sub station here for that purpose. The
splendid qualities of the clays here are
at this point r shipped to California,
oregon, washington and dozens Of
Canadian points and for the finer
structures in this state. High-grade
clays can be found at many other
points, and further west the pottery
clays are of such high quality they
should attract the attention OF manu-
f~acturers.
