ARKANSAS MINERAL WEALTH


 The immense coal and pottery de- posits of Arkansas long have been matter of common knowledge.
 The rich zinc deposits have been worked and developed rapidly for sev- eral months past under the stimulus of high prices for the ore in consequence of the war. Although railway faci- lities are lacking at most of the min es the present activity has served to establish the fact that the industry is one that will warrant the early at tention of railway builders and when traffic is established the Arkansas min es will ask no odds of any zine pro- ducing section of the country. At present, with the necessary long wag on hauls, the development and pro duction are carried on proftably only because of the abnormal condition of the market for zinc.
 Then Arkansas is the principal pro- ducer of bauXite. clay from which metallic aluminium is produced. These deposits are of extraordinary extent and large plants are dependent upon the supply from Arkansas.
 A new and highly important miner alogical discovery has been made and it promises to become as important as any of thoes previously referred to. Montgomery county, near Caddo Gap, is found to contain an eight mile long vein of iron pyrites in the pure state. Iron pyrites are those glstening crys- tals often found mixed with blue and other clays and bearing the common name of fools gold' from the fact that the inexperienced often have been deceived into believing they had found the precious metal. But, though iron pyrites is not gold, is is possible to commute it into gold by few chemi- cal and commercial processes. From the pyrites is obtained, by the cheml- cal process referred to, sulphuric acid, the essential ingredient of most fer tilizers. and the sulphiric acid IS read fly transformed into gold or green backs or certified checks or anything passing as legal tender that the seller wants.
 The pyrites has been found in vast deposit of great purity and all that re- mains to be done is to establish plant for the making of the sulphuric acid and Arkansas stands ready to serve the country in a very important mission as an aid to the foundation industry of all-agriculture.-tort Smith Times Record.

WHEAT MARKET UNSTEADY
BOTH EAST AND WEST
Movement in New Wheat Has Been
Confined to Few Stray Loads

The following synopsis Of the grain
market has been furnished this paper
by Manager r. E. Pratt, Of the EN-
pire Grain company:
Movement Of new wheat up to date
has amounted to only a few stray
loads-about enough for home con-
sumption-only a small portion Of the
wheat threshed as yet. Returns in
dicate that in some instances output
was some less and in few cases over,
earlier anticipation. It is too early
yet to say anything definite Of results
in bushels, but the crop is generally Of
a good quality.
General markets east and west for
the past ten days have been rather
unsettled but prices have not changed
materially. Demand to date for wheat
on the coast has been for immediate
shipment, lower prices being offered
for August delivery. We quote: Fife
wheat, 81c; and good Turkey Milling,
89c.

HOME OF DIR. SPAULDING
is ENTERED BY BURGLAR
Several pieces of Jewelry and Some
Money Carried Away Last
Sunday Evening

While DR.. and Mrs. L. G. Spaulding
were at the Princess Theatre Sunday
evening their home on Second street
was entered by some unknown thief
who carried away two gold watches
five gold rings, pair of earrings and
about $500 in money. Other articles
of jewelry, bearing marks of identi-
fication and some checks were dis
carded by the robber.
It is thought the burglar must have
been more or less familiar with the
premises. He entered by the unlocked
front door and left by the back which
was locked from the inside after hav-
ing made a thorough search Of the
house. He lowered the window shades
and turned on the electric lights in ev-
cry room. He left behind no clue as
to his identity and the police have
been unable to discover anything that
might lead to his capture.

YORK DISAPPEARS:
DROWNING FEARED
Lab0rer on Abbott Ranch Goes
After Cows and Fails to Come
Back-His Horse Returns

Fred York, farm hand, who has
been employed for some time past on
the big Abbott stock ranch between
Richland and Kennewick, is believed
to have been drowned in the river
Sunday evening.
He left the ranch on horse back to
herd some stock and the last truce
found Of him is where his horses
tracks lead into the waters of the
river. The horse came home without
his rider which first led the, Abbott
family to suspect something was
wrong with their man. Also the fact
that he had nearly twenty-five dollars
in wages coming to him which he had
not collected, made them suspicious Of
an accident. q
A posse Of Richland men went
down to the river to search for the
missing man, but although the search
was made in a systematic and dill
gent manner no trace Of the man was
found and he is still missing at this
writing. Everybody in the district is
of the opinion that he is surely
drowned.
immigration Inspector E. L. Wells,
of Walla Walla, has peen notified and
is endeavoring to locate the missing
mans relatives. He secured the job
with Mr.. Abbott through the federal
employment agency.

Northern Pacific and Horn Rap
ids Irrigation Companies are
Not Handicapped
PLENTY OF WATER AT
THE LOCAL HEADGATES
Allowances of Waterusers Under other
Projects This Year Have been
Cut from Is to 33 Per Cent

Unusually low water in the Yakima
River caused by light snowfall in the
Cascade mountains, fortunately, has
not interfered with irrigating opera
tions in the Kennewick and Richland
valleys. While numerous reports of
water shortages have been received
from the upper-valley projects, the
supply in this district has been nor
NAL. In fact, it appears that the Nor
thern Pacific and the Horn Rapids Ir-
rigation companies, whose intakes are
at the same point on the Yakima, are
the only concerns operating in the
Yakima valley that have been able to
deliver the full contract allowance to
their waterusers.
In speaking of the water shortage
]. H. Siegfried, superintendent Of
generation for the Pacific Power e.
Light company, said: "We have been
fearful that the extremely low water
in the Yakima would seriously handi-
cap US in the operation Of our Naches
generating plant. So far, however,
we have been lable 70 meet all de-
mands on the system without using,
our auxiliary steam plant or pur-
chasing any current from the Priest
Rapids plant. But we recently re-
ceived orders from the government to
reduce the water allowance to all wa
terusers under our Wapatox canal Is
per cent. / understand that water
users under the different units of the
government project have had their
water reduced from Is to 33 per cent
under the contract allowance"
Asked as to what effect the low wa
ter had had on the local project, Man
ager j. j. Rudkiri, of the Northern Pa
cific Irrigation company said: "With
the exception of one day our company
and the Horn Rapids company have
been able to deliver water in excess
of the contract allowance, including
the double water rights held by many
of our users. There has been only
one day this summer when the canals
utilized the entire flow in the Yakima.
That day no water passed over the
dam at the intake, but even then there
was no shortage in the canals"
Mr.. Rudkin said there has been an
average flow of about six inches of
water over the dam throughout the
summer. The lowest flow in the
river at the Horn has been about 300
second feet, while the flow farther
up the valley has been as low as 13
second feet. The larger volume Of
water at the local headgates is due to
the heavy return flow from the Wapa-
to and Sunnyside projects making
abundant water possible here when
the river above is practically dry. AS
this return flow increases as the irri-
cation season advances there is no
danger Of shortage in either the
-nnewick or Riehland valleys.

Coming of Government Market
ing Experts Eagerly awaited
in North Yakima
ACCREDITED SHIPPERS
HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED
Davidson, of Hood River, Arrives in
North Yakima and Arranges to
j Open Ohices

While local dealers and agency man.
ayers have but little TO say regarding
the outlook for marketing this years
peach crop and while that little is by
no means encouraging, hopes through
out the Yakima Valley seems to be
pinned to w. II. Paulhamus and his
growers council plan, and the assis-
tance Of government marketing ex-
perts.
Regarding the situation the Yakima
Republic says:
Nothing definite win be done in the
way of announcing plans for handling
the marketing of the Yakima valley
peach crop till the two government
men arrive on the scene and H. F.
Davidson can have a conference with
them. This was the decision reached
by. Mr.. Davidson after an informal
conference with few Of the shippers.
/ Mr.. Davidson spent yesterday in the
preliminaries Of getting Office rooms
and looking up house for his family,
who are here for the summer. Office
rooms were selected in the First Ma
tional bank building and will be fitted
up Immediately for use as headquar-
ters for the marketing Of the Yakima
peach crop under the direction of Mr..
Davidson and Messrs. Fisher and
Schleussner, government experts who
expect to arrive in the city not later
than tomorrow. ~ lisa
Mr.. Davidson has nothing to add to
the announcement as to who are the
accredited shippers who will handle
the crop under the supervision of the
Fruit Growers council. w. H. Paul
hamus gave to the press the names OF
IA shippers of the valley naming the
following:
Hays Fruit Company, Randolph
Fruit Company, Yakima County Hor-
ticultural Union, The Fruit Exchange
Richey & Gilbert Company. Thompson
Fruit Company, the e. E. Samson
Company, C. R. Paddock, Pike &
Blood, Yakima Fruit Sellers, Hafenel
& Plath, The H. H. Davis Company
North Pacific Fruit Distributors, tht
Northwestern Fruit Exchange.
This leaves out the Pacific Fruit &
Produce company, the Lynch & Taylor
Company and ]. M. Perry, each O
whom at recent meeting Of the ship
pers signifed their intention Of co
operating with the movement when i
was fully organized. Their signature
are expected to be sent in this week.

PARTY OF GYPSY CAMPERS
WORRY THE LOCAL POLICE
They Tell Fortunes and Trade Horses
But Seem to Be in No Hurry
To Move On

A miscellaneous collection Of gypsy
fortune-tellers, horse-traders and show
actors, who arrived in the city Tues
day and pitched camp along the river
near the N. P. bridge, have kept the
police department working overtime.
AS yet the visitors have committed no
very untoward acts, but their very
presence rather gets on the nerves OF
Mayor Richardson and Chief Cope
land.
One of the fortune-tellers was
brought into court yesterday morning
and fined SO and costs for plying her
trade in violation Of the state law.
She had told the fortune Of Mrs. John
Breithaupt and received therefor six
chickens. Five Of the chickens were
recovered and the sixth was devoured
This little court scene failing to put
wheels under the gypsies' camp, Chief
Copeland started on a new lead. He
sought to oust them by the trespass
route only to find that they had paid
So for the privilege Of camping. This
morning Deputy Sheriff Baxter saw
one of the women help herself
to some of G. M. Annis' flume but
when he arrived at the camp he was
unable to single out the offender
from among the some dozen OF he'
sisters.
AS we go to press Sheriff Duffy
and Assessor Wheaton are at th'
camp for the purpose Of either as
s,ssing or arresting all the poor gyp
sies' horses.
