BOOMERS AND THE RESULT

The real estate boomers of Cali
fornia for a year and a half past
have been painting the state as an
almost unoccupied Eden, a garden
laden with fruits and flowers only
awaiting for people to occupy it.
Some months ago we asked how
much land that could be profitably
cultivated without " alter to irrigate
it, could be obtained, and how
much with water tn irriagte it
could be had, and asked those inter
ested what they would do with the
hundred of thousands of poor i'm.
migrants that they expected would
rush in when the canal should be
finished and the new steamship
lines from southern Europe began
to unload the thousands upon them.
They did nor respond, as we hop
ed they would. They anwsered
nothing that we asked, but merely
reiterated that there was room for
allS' Yhen:we asked for practical
details. somethingBthat an honest
would berimmigsant could depend
upon, and the second answer was
butts louder reiteration of what
had been first proclaimed. One
knaRe or idiot. we do not know
which, asserted that San Joaquin
county alone could take care of L.
100000 people.
Now it seems: that some of the
birds have already come home to
roostst San francisco and Los An
geles; it: seems are crowded With
thousands of men and women who
have nothing and are clamoring for
something to do by which to obtain
food. We were all the time afraid
of such climax for while Califor-
MIA is great and glorified state,
she is not yet prepared to give
great hosts of people employment
and until her rivers are turned and
her waters scientifically impounded,
she never will be prepared for
denseNpopnlation of farmers and
fruit-growers.
The danger ahead is so protein
tious that in our judgement the
Federal Government should send
experts there to Investigate and
if necessary warn would-be immi-
grants, away.
We think 50 because other states
are directly Interested. Already a
good many' of. the disappointed
ones have drifted from California
to Utah. Utah has her own people
to look after and when her land
dealers invite people from the out
side it is because at vast expense
some great tract of land has been
supplied with water to irrigate it.
No state isbould be made to suffer
because unscrupulous boomers in
another state have drawn :rowds
that cannot he given employment
in The state Of the boomers and are
forced to invade other states. We
never saw more unscrupulous BOOM
ing than was done IN Los Angeles
last spring. And if suffering comes
from it thea boomers are the ones
who should have the punishment.

ATTORNEYS HAVE
 AMPLE AUTHORITY
SUPREME COURT RULINGS OF OTHER STATES TO BE
 PRESENTED.

Little Rock, March 1S.-While Ar kansas has never before been placed in tangle over the office of governor as it is today, the attorneys appear ing in the case will have plenty of au- thority from other states, which have constitutions identical with that of the one adopted by Arkansas in 1874.
 When the case is argued in su- preme court Wednesday morning, the attorney for J. M. Futrell, president pro tenn of the senate and claimant to the acting governorship, will present rulings by supreme courts of other states, in which the suit is almost identical with the one now before the people of Arkansas. In all of these cases the courts have held with the claimant who was in the same posi- tlon occupied by President Pro Tem Futrell, There was a case in Cobra do at one time, which is said to be exactly the same as that of Arkansas, and the court there held for the pres ident pro tenn of the senate, busting the former president of the senate who had taken the office of governor.

COMMISSION PLANS COMPLETE CAPITAL NO OBSTACLE REMAINS GROUNDS AROUND BUILDING TO BE CONVERTED INTO A
 BEAUTIFUL PARK.

Little Rock, March 18.-The state capitol commission is meeting today to take up the proposition of complet. ing the building and furnishing il from cellar to garret. There is now no obstacle which can prevent the commission going ahead and install ing permanent heating plant in the endorsement and dispensing with the temporary affair which has done ser vice since the building was first oc- cupled two years ago.
 The commission will go over the en- tire work with Cass Gilbert, the New York architect, and prepare for the asking of bids upon the completion of the building. The capitol will then begin the transformation from par italy completed building, with bare walls, to thing of beauty. The walls will be tinted so there will he no trace of dirt, as is now shown on the formerly white walls. The rough concrete floors of the basement and sub-basement vii lbe completed and marble will be their pavement. The scagllola columns, politician factor in Arkansas in days gone by, will give way to marble and the old brick-lined excavation around the building will be changed so it will be regular or nament
 The commission is expected to se cure the services of a competent land scape gardener and architect, who will take charge of the grounds and convert them into a park with ter races all around, and asphalt walks and driveways intersecting.
 One of the first things to be done Tn beautifying the capitol will be the removal of the old penitentiary hos pital which now shuts the view of the building from the north off from peo- pie passing through the city on trains.
 The recent legislature appropriated nearly half million for the compile ton of the building, and though there is now less than $300,O00 on hand. the taxes collected this year, and the one-eighth mill remaining for next year will make up the deficiency so the building will be completed and out of politics forever before the begin ming of the next regular session of the general assembly.

OFFICIALS ASSURED
 GUARDS TO REMAIN IF MONEY IS ADVANCED
LITTLE ROCK BANKS READY TO TO COME TO ASSISTNCE OF
 NATIONAL GUARD.

Little Rock, March 18.-Positive as- surance has been given officials of the Arkansas National Guard that if they can finance the organization until the next session of the legislature, the government will continue it's donation to the maintenance of the guard. With this end in view the officials have talk en the proposition up with Little Rock banks and five of them have practic- ally agreed to carry the account The final arrangements will be completed at the meeting of the state associa- tion Thursday,
 With such encouragement. the mem bers of the guard have ceased to wor- " about the failure of the legislature to make the usual appropriation and announcement has been made that the usual school for officers will be held at Fort Logan H. Roots in April, with the annual target practice for the reg lment at Beebe and Fort Smith rife ranges. There will be a brigade en- campment in the summer, held jointly with the regular United States troops. possibly at Texarkana. In past years only one regiment has been going to the joint manouevers at a time. There will be also school of instruction for non-commissioned officers, to be held at Fort Logan H. Roots, which is a decided departure,

KING ELECTED
 FAIR MANAGER THIRD. CONSECUTIVE TIME PLANS FOR EXHIBITION OF TOWNSHIPS ADOPTED LAST
 NIGHT.

At a meeting of the directors of the Faulkner County Fair Association held in the store of Wilson Bros. last night, J. A. King was elected manager of the fifth annual county fair which will be held in this city on October 2, IS, 3, and 10, inclusive. This is the third consecutive time Mr. King has been elected manager, and by his un- tiring efforts, has made the last two fairs better in every particular than those which preceded.
 Manager King will begin at once making arrangements for the fair. It IS his intention to have the 1913 fair superior in every respect to the others.
 An exhibition contest will be fea- ture of the fair this year and will doubtless cause great amount of friendly rivalry among the different townships of the county. Each town ship will have it's own exhibition and the one with the best display of agri-
  culture, horticulture, poultry, etc. will be awarded first prize Four prizes will be awarded, the first being $50; the second, $25; the third, s15. and the fourth, $1O.
 Cadron township, which includes the city of Conway, will be exempt from the contest on account of it being much larger than the others. Howev- CT, residents of Cadron township will be eligible to compete for individual prizes, which will be practically the same as those of preceding years.
 Every township that competes for the prizes will have man to take charge of the exhibit, and the fair as- sociation desires that they be notified in advance of the ones that intend to enter the contest, so that ample space can be provided for each one.

REMAINS IN LITTLE ROCK.

Little Rock, March 18.-At the close of every session of the legisla- ture, Little Rock gains several in population through members who re- main behind to make their residence in this city. It is usually for the purpose of lettering the condition of the member, but the past session gave Little Rock resident for a far more different reason. James G. Rice, eld- est member of the house, aged 73 years, from Brazil, Saline county, re- ceived message last week that his wife was taken ill suddenly, and be- fore he arrived at his home she was dead. He returned to Little Rock heart-broken, and stated he could not bear to live at the old home, where he had spent a half century with his wife, she not being there. Mir. Rice has asked the Board of Charities for a position as watchman at the Con federate home, and if he secures it, will spend the balance of his days there.
 G. L. Grant, representative from Jackson county, is another new resi- dent of Pulaski. He will not return to Newport, where he was engaged in the practice of law for a number of years, but has moved his family here,

PEN COMMISSIONERS
 PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR
ARE SPENDING PORTION OF WEEK ON STATE FARM AT
 CUMMINS,

Little Rock, March 1S.-The board 'of penitentiary commissioners left Little Rock Monday for Warmer to spend the greater portion of the week on the state farm, looking after plans for the years crop, and getting ev- erything there in shape so the com missioners will be able to handle it with less difficulty Twenty-two con- vcts were also taken to the farm, among them S. w. Rhea, whose sen- tence was recently commuted to life imprisonment by Gov. Joe T. Robin son. Rhea will be put to work just as the other convicts, but in time he will probably be made a trusty and placed in charge of a squad of men. Rhea was a plantation manager at the time Vital Archard, Saline county Nficer, sent to arrest negroes on the plantation, was killed. Rhea was charged by several negroes as in structing them to assassinate Arch ard, and he was convicted of the Icrime,
 The commission will not take com plete charge of farm or penitentiary until April, and soon afterward the question of purchasing a farm upon which the white eonvicts are to be worked will be considered.
