,n Pike Connecting Two Cities Aa,i wiIl mean More to Valley of Va "" .s Than all of the Rail-
 reads Entering There.

u.rl;ro on the theory that maca-
 rood connecting Hot Springs with .sa ua,' outside world, will mean more for .ns as citv than its dozen or more trains U" ':, the citizens of the Valley of vanors vs have contributed so literally .hat ,t within a month an entirely new ' .ad between Little Rock and Hot e. ca.;nos will be opened. The Little pp.l end of this road, as far as Sa- ,ino county line, has been completed s.. come months. Saline county has M st tbe funds to build such road .eross the county but the county judge hoe done good work there and the dirt ,ood is in excellent condition, and will ,emain that way all winter, no matter how much it rains.
 The Garland county end of this .ood has always been the hindrance tn automobile travel to Hot Springs, though many braved it each year This road wound about in a creek bot tom and when it undertook to climb . mountain side, followed the trail blazed by prehistoric reptile. The new road has been cut along the side of a mountain. and the crest of the hill has been cut away so as to re- duce the grade Hot Springs people motor to the hill every day, to which the road has been completed, and they speak of the pike as dream. They figure that when the road is completed 1900 of the 5000 Arkansas automobiles will be annually seen in Hot Springs, besides several thousand from outside the state.
 This Hot Springs-Little Rock high way is expected to mean great deal to Arkansas as it will encourage oth- CT sections to go and do likewise when the results become apparent.

Descending to the first floor they found that all the books in the library had been transferred 0 a large room on the south wnig of the build ing. During the course of the sum- mer, this room was renovated, and beautifully decorated. MT, Hcerwa- gen, the artist who is decorating the State Capitol at Little Rock gave his services for a merely nominal sum above the cost of the materials used.
 In contrast with it's former some what unkept appearance, the interior of the library is now the most beau itful and pleasing of any of the Uni versity buildings.

RACE FOR SPEAkERSHIP
 HAS TAKEN NEW TURN Tom A. Wilson, of Pine Bluff Labor Leader of 1913 Session Announces for Leader in Lower House
 Contest to be Active.

The race for Speaker of the House in 1915 has taken some new turns and brought forth new candidate in Tom A. Wilson of Pine Bluff, labor leader of the 1913 session. In the shadows several other members of the 1913 House who have been sent back to serve their constituents again, turk in the hope of finding a deadlock which will permit them to jump into the fight and carry home the bacon. John w. Brawner of Clay county, and Sam Rorex of Yell are two of the dark hor- ses, and either would make a compe- tent presiding officer. Alexander, of Mississippi, a new member of the House, is another who may be thrown into the breach in case of deadlock.
 This contest promises to become an active one far earlier than is common because of the fight now started in the interest of L. K. Sawyer of Gar land. Louis Josephs of TeXarkana. and Ben L. Griffin of Little Rock, have been so o'active in the past few weeks that friends of MT. Sawyer became aroused at statements attributed to upporters of the others, and they have planned to come next month to Little Rock and open headquarters. The Hot Springs Business Mems League had adopted resolutions indorsing the candidacy of their native son, and the business men have pledged themselves to get into the campaign in his be- half
 Ben L. Griffin has asserted that he has 65 members of the House virtual ly pledged to his support. As it talk es but 51 to elect, he is on velvet if the other candidates do not cut into his solid strength.
 An effort is being made to fight out the battle on prohibition and anti prohibition lines, side stepping quail ficatons, and if this can be forced there may be some interesting devel- opments, and a strict outsider may oc- cupy the chair.

City Schools
Are OverCrOWded
BOARD HIRES ADDITIONAL TEACHER
Takes Steps To Secure Better Accommodations For
Pupils On School Boat

Complaints have been coming
in to the school BOARD that the
boat that the Red Collar line was
furnishing to bring the pupils
from down the river to school was
inadequate.
There are about forty of these
pupils and it was charged that the
boat was not large enough to
accommodate them, that there
are no guards, and not nearly
enough life preservers.
A committee from the school
board investigated the matter to-
day and took the question up with
Mr. Heston, local agent for the
Red Collar Line.
He said that he did not believe
the company had another boat
that could be put on the run. He
promised to take the matter up
with Mr.. White and see what
could be done. Meanwhile he
promised that guards should be
put up which wourd make it less
dangerous. He also agreed to

Sneak Thief
RObS Dwelling

Last Tuesday afternoon the
house. of A. Foster, near the cleo
trio light office, was broken into
and one hundred and twenty-six
dollars in cash was taken.
Mrs, Foster went down town
about half past four and was
away from home for about three
quarters of an hour and the rob
berry took place during her alb
sence.
Mr.. Foster is one of the fore
men employed by the Two Miracle
Concrete company and the money
was the property OF another en-
pioyee of the company who is
looming at Mr.. Fosters house.
He hid the money in a trunk in
his roon and the lock of the
trunk was forced with pair Of
pincers.
The theft was evidently the
work Of some one who not only
knew the money was there and
where it was kept, but was also
familiar with Mr.. Fosters house.
It must has been some one who
saw Mrs. Foster leave the house
aud timed lis visit accordingly.
Suspicion was attached to an
other employee Of the company
and search warrant was sworn
out and his rooms searched, but
mo- trace Of the money was found
and so far no aeersts have been
made in lhe ease.
The police have a clue which
promises to develop and it is ex-
pected that the guilty party will
be arprehended very shortly.

No Appointment
Until After Election


The appointment Of state en-
gineer to succeed the late Frank
p. King, who died suddenly, will
not take place immediately
probably not until after election,
according to authoritative infor-
nation received at the state
house. Herbert A. Wing, deputy
state engineer, has been tempor-
arily appointed by Governor
Haines to take over the duties of
state engineer and will remain in
charge of the department until
Mr.. Kinks successor is appointed.
The death of State Engineer King
came so suddenly and at a time
when the state campaign was in
full swing that Governor Haines
found it difficult to either name
his successor or definitely settle
the matter before he was required
to take the stump in the interest
of his candidacy for reelection.
That there are many aspirants
for the appointment has become
known. From all parts of the
state applications are pouring in
to The governors Office in letter
form. They are being carefully
filed for the consideration of the
governor on his return to the city.
Many Of these applications are
from engineers of prominence
and have the backing and support
of various men of,inhuence. That
the position is one to which en-
gineers aspire is evident from the
unusually large number of appli-
cations.
The position is one that re-
quires exceptional training along
engineering lines, especially in
the handling of irrigation prob
lens that demand intricate en-
gineering. 1t is said to be felt
by the governor and members of
the land board that the position
is of unusual Importance, partic-
ularly at this time and in the inn
mediate future because Of the diff
iicult engineering problems in the
reclamation of irrigation pro-
jects which so far have been a
failure. Members of the land
board are free in their statements
that in their opinion State En-
gineer King was the best state en-
gineer Idaho ever had. Unusual
confidence was placed in his re-
ports on various irrigation mat
ters and upon his views in the
solving of engineering problems
that presented themselves from
time to time. 1t is said of the late
The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1914-10-16

engineer that he never made a
statement from an engineering
problem without first becoming
familiar with all the facts which
he had given study on which to
base his answer. 1t was for this
reason that his advice always car
Iied a great deal of weight with
the land board.
Mr.. King was also very popular
with all who knew him. While
conservative in making acquaiD-
tances he was a warm friend and
held friendship as one of mis-
closest assets. The governor and
land board believe that his place
will be difficult to hll in an at e.
tempt to secure the services of an
engineer who will have the same
ability end in v Vhom the same re-
liability can bt placed.

AiIShie Opposes
Additional Judges
SAYS PRESENT MEMBERS SUFFICIENT
Three Active industrious Men Will Have No Trouble
Keeping Up With Work

Judge Ailshie is opposed to the
constitutional amendment provid-
ing for two additional judges for
the state supreme court.
He thinks that the present
number ample for doing the
work providing they are active
and Industrious. He has been in
Occur d'Alene on business and
gave out the following interview
just before leaving for Boise
where he is now located practic-
ing law:
"lf the people really want to
cronomize instead of increasing
The public expense, they will de-
feat ny their votes on November 3
constitutional amendment No. 8
providing for Two additional su-
preme court justices.
Three active, industrious men
can do all the work there is to do
of course it is too much for
two men, but not too much for
three.t The work of the supreme
court was kept right up to date
up to last spring, Notwithstanding
the protracted illness of one
member. When it adjourned in
July last the cases from both
Occur d'Alene and Lewiston were
disposed of up to that date and
ther ewere but 54 cases on the
docket at Boise, many of which
were not ready for trial. Yet the
court is still working with only
two judges and when the third is
added it will soon catch up and
keep up its work.

country are women.
II is an oiilce that woman can
ill just as acceptably as a man,
to say the least, and with nearly
one-half of the voters of the
county women, it is only fair
that they should have a represen-
lative on the ticket.
In presenting Miss Seely as
candidate, the democrats have put
forward a candidate who is in ev-
cry way qualified to fiji the pos
ition. She is not only we'll edu-
Gated herself, but she is an edu-
Gator of experience and ability.
She thoroughly understands the
needs of our common schools and
some suggestions which she has
offered looking to their better
ment is we'll worthy the serious
consideration OF the school
boards and others having the in
tcrest of the schools at heart.
She has a faculty for detail
work and the business affairs Of
the Office will be looked after in a
thorough business manner.
She has the confidence of the
teachers of the county and any
suggestions which she might
make would receive an added con-
sideration as coming from her.
She is hanipered in making her
campaign because of the fact that
she is now teaching in one of the
departments of the Occur d'Alene
schools and for that reason is un-
able to get out and see the voters
personally. She is obliged TO de-
pend entirely upon her friends to
do what they can for her and she
will appreciate, not only your in
fluence, but any influence you may
exhort in her favor.

Record Secures
Great Serial Story

Arrant enents have been com
plcled by which The Record will
give to its readers during the next
few months what is probably the
greatest serial story being pub
lished today. "The Million Dol
lar Mystery" by Harold McGrath
has been secured and will run in
serial form commencing with the
issue of Oct. %, and appearing
thereafter in every Friday issue
Of The Record.
This great serial has been Sc
cured in connection with the mo-
ton picture serial covering the
book and the pictures will appear
serially at ]. H. Sommer's Bunga-
10 Theatre on Monday night of
each week.
Read the story each Friday in
The Record and then on the fol-
lowing Monday go to the Bunga-
10 and see the pictures covering
The same portion of "The Million
Dollar Mystery story in the pre-
yious issue of this paper.
"Ihe Million Dollar Mystery"
is probably too we'll known even
now although but recently is
sued, even in the largest cities Of
the country, to the leading picture
houses and newspapers to need
much of an introduction to our
readers. The story is now ap-
I Ipearing sCr.ally in the Chicago
Tribune, New York Globe, Boston
Globe, Cincinnati Enquirer and
200 other leading newspapers of
the country.
Without doubt it is the first
time the story has been released
TO a city as small as st. Maries
and both Mr.. Sommers, Of the
Bungalo Theatre, and the man
aeement Of The Record are highly
delighted to be able to secure the
story for st. Maries.

during the long winter evenings
coming than to have one of the
most popular novels of the day
