Vernon

1t is very dry in Vernon, both
for the want of rain and for the
want of news.
B. H. Wilhelm and Silas Har-
nS have gone to Snowflake with
loads Of lumber.
There was a grand ball at Los
BurrOS Aug. 20 and the dancing
lasted till daylight.
Mr.. Mclnturf and son Bryan
returned from Holbrook with
some Of their cattle that had
Stayed away.
Mrs. M. H. Baird, grandson,
nenry, and granddaughter, Di-
ana, were in Vernon from Snow
make this week.

ST. JOHNS ITEMS
(From The Observer)

Clay Hunter, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Connor Trammel,
came down from Springerville
Wednesday to fix up mis-. bond in
the case brought against him on
the charge of selling liquor.
While at the Jail he picked up a
pair of handouts and snapped
one on his wrist, just to show

it off, he said. But he found he
couldn't take it off to save his
life. Then Undersheriff Grimes
was hunted up to get the key to
the cuffs, but when found he
said Sheriff Hamblin had the
key and had gone to Eagar.
Hunter therefore returned to
Springerville wearing the cuff.
Arriving there he hunted up
Sheriff Hamblin only to learn
that he had left the key at his
home in St. Johns. Hunter was
obliged to wear the cuff until
next day, by which time his
wrist had become badly swollen
and infiamed. Being unable to
stand the punishment any long
er, he wired to St. Johns and
the key was found and sent up
to him by special messenger.
H. J. Knight has decided to
go back to his old love-the cat
tie business. We are informed
that he will go in with Prime
T. Coleman and they now have
1000 head of cattle on the road
from Mexico, which will be
taken charge of by Mr.. Knight
on the range at Hunt. He will
later move his family there to
live, having purchased the Asahel
Smith residence property. The
Knight ranch in Big Hollow has
been leased by Grover and Jesse
Udall, a couple of progressive
young men who have every
prospect of making good as far
mers and stockmen. Mr.. Knight
made of his ranch one of the
finest places in the entire coun-
try and had it not been for the
breaking of the Lyman dam, he
would doubtless have made a
great success of the underta-
king. The cattle business, how
ever, has always been his spe-
cialty and no man in the south
west more thoroughly under
stands that business.
The administrator of the Cron-
emeyer estate, by order of the
court, is out with reward of
$3.50 for the arrest and convic-
ton of each person implicated
in the murder of Cronemeyer
and his clerk, up to the sum of
81, 900 for the bunch.
The continued dry spell has
affected growing crops seriously,
and it is doubtful if half a crop
will be harvested in the vicinity
of St. Johns, even if rain should
come at once.
The board of supervisors has
fixed the county rate at 81. 80,
the same as last year.

lures and pleasing, magnetic,
genial, charming, effervescent
and altogether adorable person
ality.

PANAMA EXHIBIT MAY BE ABANDONED WARRANTS CALLED BACK NO PLANS FOR COMPLETION OF THE ARKANSAS BUILD

Little Rock, March 16.-The action of the supreme court in declaring in- valid the bill, passed ny both houses and signed by the governor, appropri- ating $40, 100000 for r1e Arkansas ex- hibit at the Panama Pacific Exposi- tion, means that Arkansas will not be represented at the San Francisco worlds fair, although beautiful building has been completed on the grounds. The building was erected through the patriotic action of num- Der of prominent citizens who gave their notes to cover the preliminary expense.
 After the bill was signed warrants were drawn upon the fund for little more than $23,000. Now that the act is invalid, these warrants must be re- turned to the auditor by the holder

EXPECTS A REVIVAL
 IN ROAD BUILDING 1000 MILES IN 2 YEARS
IS AMOUNT LOOKED FOR BY STATE HIGHWAY CON-
 MISSIONER.

Little Rock, March 16.-"It is my belief that in the next two years there will be one thousand miles of inn proved highways built in Arkansas, under provisions of acts passed by the recent legislature" said Commis- sioner of State Lands and Highways w. B. Owen.
 Aside from the passing fthe AL exander bill, which is a general en- abling act for the whole state, there were numerous county acts for the creation of special districts. Among are acts providing for 32 miles of highway in Monroe county, P miles in Grant county, 28 miles in Jefferson county, 32 miles in Washington coun- ty, and 60 miles in Miller county It is reported that an effort is to be made to organize the entire county of Pope for the construction of improved roads. Faulkner, Crawford, Lee and other counties are also active in mak- ing a practical application of the good roads doctrines that have been preached in the state for many years.
 State Highway Engineer H. R. Car ter, and Assistant Engineer flight are in Jefferson county this week making the preliminary survey for road running from Pine Bluff to the Jefferson county line, in the direction of Star City, distance of 22 miles.
 Commissioner Owen says the high way department was seriously handi- capped by the legislature, which cut down the appropriation for the con- tingent fund of the office from $10 OOO to $5,0O0 The free surveys for the roads throughout the state must be paid by this fund, and Mir. Owen thinks that these surveys alone dur ing the next two years will cost more than $1O,000, But the work must stop when the fund is exhausted.

FAXES LESS THAN
 0NE-TH|RD PAID

With only about 20 days left in which taxes may be paid without the penalty, less than one-third of the total number of receipts have been is- sued at the office of Collector w. w. Bishop. Up to Tuesday noon the number of poll taxes paid was 1,4SO and the number of property tax re- ceipts made out was 1,S4O The total number of the former will be about 5000 and of the latter about 6,O0O
 In view of the tremendous rush which is certain to occur during the last few day of tax-paying time, Col lector Bishop desires to urge all who can do so to call and have their re- ceipts made out at once. He especial ly wants Conway taxpayers having large lists to file them as soon as pos sible.

GOVERNOR ISSUES
 HIS THIRD VETO
BRIDGE BILL DISAPPROYfD
THAT IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS SHOULD NOT
 BE INVALIDATED.

Little Rock, March 16.-Governor Hays Monday afternoon announced his third veto, the other two being the Sawyer racing bill and the St. Francis levee board bill. In his third veto Governor Hays assumes a position that he believes will more firmly es- tatlisn the improvement bond issues of the state. He says, in his veto of house bill 338 (Brockman), to amend Act No. 214 or 1911, known as the free bridge act:

 When Governor Hays and Commis- sioner General Hollenberg. were asked what their policy would be for the flu ture, both replied that they were not ready to make any statement just ata this time for publication.
 The fact remains, however, that the building is closed and there are no funds, present or prospective, with which to open it. It is probable that an effort will be made immediately to sell the building, for it is not be- leved possible that the S20,000 neces- sary to carry on the work can be rais- ed at this late day
