ed Lewis Heck, acting vice consul to
open an inquiry into the ctrcum-

Armenian, who had been paying some
attention to Turkish women. Two
Turks, determined to punish tho
Armenian, forced their way into the

private advices to the bible house,
which indicate the murder was delib-
crate. The murderers were arrested

The message Is couched in very

feels the world generally ought
to recognize the situation in
Mexico as abnormal, being con-

That circumstance. the president
believes, will not obscure the

TREASURY ENRICHED
BY FRANCHISE TAX

Little Rock, Aug. THE state
treasury was enriched $4,000 We'd
nesday afternoon, when the Iron
Mountain railway and the Southwest
ern Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany paid in their franchise tax. The
railroad paid $4,000, and the tele-
phone company paid $4,000. This is
the first of the franchise tax money to
find it's way into the treasury, but if
it is not all paid in by August 10, the
delinquents are subject to penalty.
1t is figured by the Arkansas Tax
Commission that there will be $780,
900 paid in franchise tax this year,
and the corporations will have to
move lively if they all pay in within
the next four days and escape the
penalty provided under the law.

BEST METHOD OF
OILlNC THE STREETS
STREET COMMISSIONERS HON
EYCUTT OF CROSSETT AN
SWERS INQUIRIES.

from Saturdays Daily.
In answer to letter of inquiry as
to the proper method and cost of OIL
ing the streets of this city, L. L. Hon.
eycutt, street commissioner at Cros-
sett, Ark, says:
''To oil the streets effectively, they
should be cleaned of all trash and the
oil put on with sprinkler made for
that purpose. The oil must be applied
in hot, dry weather, as it will not
penetrate the ground if there is+water
in it. The dust should be one-half to
one inch in depth and very dry, also
the hotter the better, as the oil goes
in faster whwen it is hot and dry. You
can get the oil from any of the oil
companies. We bought this year of
the Gay Oil Co., Of Little Rock. If
you buy of them, get No. 2O-22 road
oil. If you buy of Waters-Pierce Oil
Co. get their No. 3 road oil. The
Waters Pierce people and the Stand
ard are the same, as to number and
quality. The price is about the same
with either company, and will cost
about 6 cents gallon, delivered in
car tanks of 5000 gallons or more. 1t
will require one-half gallon of oil to
the square foot of street, put on slow
enough to allow it to go into the
ground without pudding or standing
in tracks and low places
