 Little Rock.-High freight rates, the one problem Little Rock merchants have had to contend with may soon become a thing of the past. Traffic on the Arkansas river apparently is as sured, as two dredge boats which are now being built by the government will arrive in Little Rock within 60 days and work of cleaning the river of stumps and snags will be begun.
 q believe it is possible to make the Arkansas river navigable," said H. F Auten, president of the Little Rock Packet Company, Monday, and the people should do all in their power to push the project"
 These boats, it is understood, will operate during the entire year, keep ing the river free from snags and etumps, and in condition for operating freight boats.
 T am advised that the two dredge boats now nearly completed by the government to operate in the Arkansas river, will both be here within 50 days The first will be here about the middle of June and the second a month later These boats are built Cn the latest model and are thoroughly up to date equipped with electric light plants for operating night as well as day. and am advised, will be stationed so that one will keep the river channel in condition from here to the mouth of the Arkansas river, and the other will he used from here up the river as far as the coal fields
 "These boats cost about s4O0,0OC and there is an appri ,priation for oper ating them immedia ely. This appro priation and these goats are the re suit of work done h'tSenator James P Clarke, backed 'e lige w. M. Kava pangh and os .<dlrecSssasss-- of the Lit tie Rock Packet Company"

 Publicity Law Endorsed.
 The Publicity Law Committee, con- sisting of A. D. Murlin, Fred W. All sopp, Elmer B. Clarke, Claude Mann and T. L. Pound, submitted their re- port, which was adopted. They re ported that as a result of an aggres- sive campaign made by the committee, petition containing 1892 sigma lures of qualified waters, or 4,292 more than required under the law, had been filed with the Secretary of State, in- suring a vote upon the proposed act at the September election. Eliminat- ing all petitions of doubtful legality, there were left 15,413 names, or 1915 more than required.
 Your committee compliments this association on the splendid work done in this cause by it's members all over the state.' says rhe report. We f1Iiv appreciated the reluctancy witbI which she publishers themselves asked their friends to sign a petition flor a law which apparently favored them, but it is gratifying that practically every county contributed signatures, makin our petition the most representatiy petition ever filed under the initiative and referendum in Arkansas. We con- gratulate the Arkansas Press Asso- ciation on the fact that the best Pub licity Law ever proposed in any state is in no danger of being killed in committed A law which means vastly more to the state at large than to the newspapers as class is in no danger of being pigeon-holed or otherwise side tracked. It is now it's third read ing and will be put on its final pas sage on September IA. Practically four months intervene for a full and candid discussion of it's merits before the people,"
 Upon the recommendation of the committee, the Association authorized the executive committee to enter upon a campaign of education in favor of the bill. Every publisher in the state was invited to cooperate in this cam paign to the end that the voters may become thoroughly advised as to the merits of the measure. It was also recommended that an effort be made to secure the adoption of plank in the next Democratic state platform.
 This is the best opportunity we have ever had to get needed publicity laws" says the committee, land our success depends wholly on the extent of our efforts, our consistency and or ganization. We must go frankly before the people, admit our interests in the matter and show them their interests"
 Editors Take Jaunt.
 After the sessions of the Association closed the editors and their families took an excursion trip to the north eastern part of the state.
 A special train carried the news paper men. The special left Little Rock Wednesday morning and return ed Saturday night. Many scheduled stops was made where hospitable re- captions were rendered the visitors.

GOV. HAYS HAS DISTINCTION

Little Rock.

LlILlo ROcR.-
 After being in session three days, most of the time being taken up by business sessions, the Knights of Py- thias adjourned after re-electing the old officers and selecting Hot Springs as the next meeting place.
 One of the most important matters undertaken by the Knights Was the reduction of the age limit from 21 to IS years. The limit was reduced and the matter will be taken up for final legislation at the convention of the supreme lodge when it meets in Win nepeg, Canada, August IT.
 All of the grand lodge officers were reelected. The officers are: Gov. Geo. W. Hays, grand chancellor; J. s. Mcconnell, Hot Springs, grand vice chancellor; J. L. Goodbar Charleston, grand prelate; B. w. Bartlett, Little Rock, grand keeper of records and seals; F. w. Horner, Pine Bluff, grand master of the exchequer; c. A. Dar- land, Fort Smith, grand master, at arms; Geo. J. Gray, Texarkana, grand inner guard, and Frank Harty, Benton, grand outer guard. The grand trustees are: Fred Rossner of Little Rock, H. s. Horner of Helena and W. s. Stroud of Jonesboro, who was reelected, his term having expired.
 The Arkansas domain of the Knights of Pythias enjoys the distinction of being the only one in which a governor of state has held simultaneously his public office and that of grand chan cellor of the lodge. It is also rare that a grand chancellor serves two consecutive terms.

Bad Feed Found on Market.


 Commercial feed inspectors in the office of Commissioner Page have been finding bad feed in different parts of the state during the last few weeks In one week 2,213 bags of feed were with held from being sold.
 Last year there were 75 horses killed in approximately one week in one county in Arkansas on account of eating moldy and rotten feed, said MT. Page. 'I have instructed my in spectors to look after this character of feed very closely this spring and early summer, and to advise with the local dealers and consumers about the importance of knowing what they sell and feed. Feeders should be exceed ingly careful about what they feed the stock N e66G alG.s 2 moldy feed from all parts of the state and forbidding it's sale, but they can not catch every bit of the feed that will heat and mold at this season of the year. The greatest danger comes from heated corn chops. However, last week two carloads of mixed feeds had become moldy. It is safe to watch every bit of feed that is fed to the stock at this time. There is danger of the corn in the crib heating, ger minating and molding."

MIGRATORY BIRD

Nothing in Constitution of the United States Gives Congress Power to
 Regulate Killing of Game.

Western Newspaper Tnion News Service
 Little Rock-In the United States District Court Judge Jacob Trieber handed down his opinion in the case of United States vs, Shauver, declar- ing the migratory wild bird act of Con- gross of March 3, 1913, unconstitution- al. Congress, by that act, sought to protect the migratory game in the United States. The court holds that the wild game, whether migratory or local, is the sole property of the states where found, not in the proprietary sense, but for the benefit of all the people, and that the states alone can enact legislation for their protection.
 Judge Trieber in his opinion holds that the powers of Congress are limit ed to those granted by the constitu- ton, either expressly or by necessary implication; that the police powers over the internal affairs of the states have been retained by them, and Con- gress possesses the police power only as to those subjects expressly granted to it; that wild game has always been recognized as the property of the states and subject to their control un- der the police power; that nothing in the national constitution justifies a construction which grants to the na- ton any control over or interest in the game.
 In reply to the contention that the states are powerless to protect the game, the court holds that this does not justify the courts in extending the powers of Congress beyond those granted by the constitution, but that the people alone, by an amendment to the constitution. can remedy that de- feet, if it exists.
