w off Bounty
 Bill Passes

The Sulzer Wolf Bounty Bill passed the Senate of the Alasks Legislature last Saturday, and the news is received throughout South eastern Alaska with much joy.
 In bringing the bill up for the final reading Senator Sulzer stated:
 We know that the wolves live on the deer, and have talked the matter over very thoroughly with many prospectors, miners, tlsher- men and woodsmen, and they al
 agree that wolf will destroy al least one deer a week. If we piac'
 the average deer at 50 pounds sno value the meat at Iocents a pC uno
 we have a value of $ tor each dee1 For the year, granting a wolf w2u
 Id kill 52 deer. it would be tota value of S26o worth of meat that every wolf would destroy every year. Surely it is worth SIC O. the territorial money to save S260 per annum. If the wolf Is killed he is removed for all time, and this s26o would be saved for the territory every year. Of course I do not know how many wolves there are in Alaska. l know that on Prince ot Wales island alone line most conservative estimate would place al least ore thousand wolves on the island, and, theie- fore, with one thousand wolves de- stroying at least S26o worth ot
 venison annually each, ilere
 would be loss to the territory oi s26o, ,ooo per annum on one island. The government regulations provide strictly for the protection
 of deer against man. The season i for killing deer in southeastern Alaska IS limited to the period
 from August 18th to November $, The number of deer killed by any
 one person during the open season
 is limited to six. The killing oi deer on many of the islands is en.
 tirely prohibited. Thus the deer
 are amply protected from the en- -cfoach.nents Of nan, but the vol. l, |
 res are allowed absolutely full
 sway to live and prey and desro, these neat producing animals.

"The wolves are becoming (

'The wolves are becoming q menace to human life, they are frequently seen on the streets of the smaller towns anasyilla ges and have been known to attack prospectors and men alone in the forests. Unless something is done to decimate them they will soon have the deer destroyed and t will then be unsafe to travel through the forests.
 We have a peculiar condition in this respect throughout South eastern Alaska, this section can never support any great number of beef cattle. It will, however, sup port hundreds of thousands of deer without any expense and will give us a most valuable meat sup ply amply sufficient to support ouf people If we are only wise enough to destroy the great enemy of the l iacr and allow the deer to mutt ply ''I have heard arguments again. st the fact that the deer are des- troved by wolves. It has Teen stated that severe winters d i've the deer to the beaches and .hat tley perish in the water. 1t is the wolves that cause this COT dit ion. When there are heavy ST WIS and the wolf starts on his h nt, t C deer seek the water for protect ion and swim the bays and irlets t) escape the wolf. Reaching the her side they are exhausted, are inable to travel, and thus soon freeze and perish. This is why they are found dead along he beaches at such times.
 To nv mind ve can render no greater service to our people han b assure them a bountitul SUI ply ol meat. and if We can succeed ir destroying the wolves this will : surely be accomplished.
 T hope every senator will vote

BANK ROBBERY ATTMPTED
 AT BENTONVILLE

Bentonville, Jan. 25.-An attempted robbery of the First National Bank, of this city, was foiled Sunday mora ! ing at 1:25 o'clock when an electric burglar alarm attached to the vault of the bank was sounded as the would=be robbers lifted an iron bar ia front of the vault door. There was approximately S25,o00 in cash, fully l covered by burglary insurance at the time the robbery was attempted, acc ording to Cashier D. w. Peel.
 On the sound of the alarm many residents of the city were awakened and several of the officers of the bank rushed to the building. Every thing was found to be in order and there was no trace of the building having been entered, but is is beliey- ed that the bandits had a duplicate key to the building as the alarm went off for the first time since it's install ation more than eight years ago.
 Shortly before the alarm sounded, two suspicious looking characters ap- preached night-watehman Ed Hub bard, who was making his rounds, ac- cording to Hubbard, the men told hin to move along" which he did to the best of his ability, according to his statement. After he had travelled some distance he heard the alarm.
 No clue as to the whereabouts of the bandits has been found and other than the story of the night watehman and the sounding of the burglar alarn the affair is still unfathomed

GOVERNOR HAYS FAVORS A
 STATEWIDE BILL

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-Gov c. w Hays today sent a special message Q the Senate withdrawing his rec ommendation that the prohibition question be submitted to the qualified electors at the next general state election in September 1916 and ask ing the Senate to pass the statuatory statewide prohibition bill, introduced last week by Sen. T. C. White. of Jefferson County The Governor s message was presented almost imme- diately after Sen. Collins, Of Drew County, had introduced bill submit ting the matter to the vote of the people.
 Efforts to have the rules suspended on the submission bill'' in order that it be read d second time and advanc- ed on the calendar failed by a vote of b to IA. 4 motion that it be indefi- nitely postponed then prevailed by a vote of r to 15. with three absent and not voting, all of whom are known to be unfavorable to proh1bl- ten. It is probable that motion will this afternzen be made to recon sider the vote by which the ssubmis- sion bill' WIS indefinitely postponed and that the liquor interest will at tempt to have his bill passed fit comes to a choice as between 1t and the statutory prohibition bill.

WEATHER IN SPRIhGDALE IN
 FEBRUARY, 1899

The cold snap which visited Spring dale latter part of last week, be- lasting until Sunday evening, during lasting until Suday evening, during which the thermometer registered at one time, early Saturday morning, a temperature of four degrees above Zero, has caused Springdale folks to
 remember time' when it was COLD in this section
 The weather Friday was rain, which started early in the morning turning to snow as the day passed, and the temperature dropped from 24 degrees above to 4 above in twenty four hours. This was followed by a of1ef cold snap on Saturday. and Sun day morning snow fell almost con- tlnually starting about nine o'clock.
 In reference to cold snaps" that have visited Springdale in the past the following is taken from the is- sue of The Springdale News, under date of February F, 1899. The art lcle, and the cold spell mentioned will be remembered by majority of the present readers of this paper:
 The cold weather record for this section was broken Saturday night and Sunday. Saturday evening the thermometer registered 12 degrees below zero, and early Sunday morn ing was down to 26 below, and some report as low as 30. It was zero all day Sunday, and but few people ven- | tured out. Church and Sunday School at the different churches being poor ly attended. Monday it began mod erating, and by Tuesday night it was rwarm and pleasant, being 38 de grees above zero Tuesday afternoon. The oldest inhabitant" says this is the coldest weather ever experienced in this section and we have yet found no one who can remember of the thermometer ever registering 20 degrees below zero before. So far as We have been able to ascertain but little damage was done. All are of he opinion that the strawberries and apples are uninjured, but it is likely that the peach crop is done for, although some are of the opin. ion that We will have peaches for home use' The thermometer at the University Experiment station registered "A degrees below Sunday and 21 below Monday. The heating pipes at the University burst on ac count of the cold, and school was dismissed while necessary repairs were being made"
 From this it will be seen that the present cold snap is very moderate compared to what has been and what might be-

UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION.

Almost everything conceivable is being done to gt the present legisla- ture to make a befitting appropria-
 ton for the University of Arkansas: the latest being the club women of Fayetteville receiving an invitation from the state president, Mrs John
 Ike Moore, urging them as members of clubs, and as individuals to work for a larger and generous appropria- tion for the University. She suggests
 write their representatives asking , them to support the University measure. She also suggests that they
 write the governor letter along the
 same line. Women all over the state are taking up the matter of an added appropriation, so that the University | of Arkansas, may take her place ia the ranks with the other Universities of the south, but will their work avail anything? The appropriation
 bill for the University will never be passed, unless q curtailment is made of the many local bills now being in-
 trodueed It is to be hoped that the
 present law makers will see fit and proper to give a handsome appropria- ton to the University this session.
 and thus make for themselves name
 far greater than one to be gained by passing q law keeping John Smiths chickens on the north side of the creek. .
 Representative John F.. Jones. of
 Washineton county. has introduced q bill in the elgislature proposing new auditing system for the various counties of the state. The passage of the biD is shrouded in deep mys- tery but may come through alright. | It will doubtless have tendency to lessen some of the petty grafts'' tha+ often charaoterize an officials incumbenoy. \ case CT two in Wash Iiagton county. with such law. might have been averted

The prohibition question seems to cause quite q little worry in the Ar. kansas legislature, and test vote recently showed both branches about equally divided. It was suggested by Governor Hays, in his message that the question of prohibition be submitted to the people and some of the legislators think this the best plan to rid themselves of such q thorny question. At any rate folks may look for something to be done with the prohibition question before the present legislature adjourns.
