Vive President, and bringing his pro
gressive following into the Democrat

That would not suit the Colonel's
plans at all. as he seems to be intent
upon reuniting the Republican party

and defeating President Wilson. His
opposition to the latter. and his pol
icies, is the Inspiration OF the Colo.
nel's present period of belligerency.
His mild assertion of loyalty, the po.
litcal experts hereabouts say. would
easily be accounted for as design
to prevent a violent swing Of some
OF his followers to the Democrats. II
he should desert, the whole OrSaniza'
ton would go to pieces.
Opinion is divided as to whether
the softened tone and mellow key in
which T. r. is speaking these days

speaking or writing of the Wilson adj

identiaI candidacy. There be those
who are suspicious of the new phil

may now differ without mourning re.
proach. and drop away without being
clappcd into the apostates' club: who.
while still claiming conscientOusness
for himself. can now accord II to 9th.
ers.
But the likelihood OF that suspicion
developing into realty doesn't seem
TO be worrying the men higher up in
the Republican party organization.
Nor is it any doubt on their part that
the Colonel hasn't fully made zap his
mind to lead his party back into the
fold when he considers the time and
the occasion favorable. What they
find most interesting and amusing in
the case is that there is such a com.
plete swing from one opposite TO an
other OF leader who hitherto has

DAVIS FIRST OPINION
HOLDS MONTGOMERY JUDGE CAN ORDER COUNTY
 SEAT ELECTION.

Little Rock, Oct 9.-Attorney Gen. eral Wallace Davis gave out his first official opinion yesterday in which hs held that the county judge of Mont gomery county can order the county seat election petitioned for by resi-. dents of Womble, despite an appeal from the courts decision granting the petition. He further held, however that the circuit court of Montgomery county may, on sufficient grounds, hold up the election until disposition of the appeal.
 The opinion was asked by Gibson Witt, of Hot Springs, an attorney re- tained by Mount Ida residents in the Montgomery county seat fight. Wom- ble recently lost in an election seeking to change the county seat from Mount Ida to Womble. After the election Womble residents petitioned for a second election, and their petition was granted by the county judge. An ap- peal from his decision granting the election was taken.
 According to the opinion by the at tornev general, whether Montgomery will, on Dec. 1, the date set, hold an other county seat election will depend lupon the circuit courts action If a motion for a stay in the election pro- ceedings is passed.

ROBERT HUTCHINS
 RESIGNS POSITION DEPUTY COMMISSIONER
OF AGRICULTURE TO LEAVE POST AND BEGIN PRACTICE
 OF LAW.

Little Rock, Oct. 11.-Robert M. Hutchins this morning announced his resignation as deputy commissioner of mines, manufactures and agricul- ture, effective November l. He will engage in the practice of law with his brother, County Judge A. l.. Hutch ins, of Woodruff county.
 MT. Hutchins served under Clay Sloan, who was appointed commits sioner after the death of Fred H.. Phillips, and was reappointed by Commissioner Page. He has been a books on the resources of Arkansas, and a number of farmers bulletins.
 In his letter of resignation to Com missioner Page, MT. Hutchins says:
 "I am proud to have been associat- ed with you in your efforts to build up this department, and hesitate over leaving work that has such an oppor- tunity for service. In my opinion, no department of state can render the service to the people that this de- partment can, with proper legislative encouragement. I hope to see immi- grafton encouraged because with more thickly settled communities we can afford more good roads and bet ter schools, that are almost impossi- ble in those cases where so few people bear the burden. 1 hope to see the state encourage mineral development and thereby save to the land owner what is rightfully his. There are un- told avenues for service in your de- partment, and am glad to see it full l fill the mission for which it was ere ated."
 Mir. Hutchins is a son of the late ] Prof. R. l.. Hutchins, who was for years county examiner of Pulaski county, and brother of County Judge A. L. Hutchins of Woodruff county, Lewis E. Hutchins, an attor- ney at Dermott and his predecessor as deputy commissioner, and A. T. Hutchins, an attorney in California.

 KICKS MEN WIN, 13-0.

The Little Rock College eleven Saturday afternoon held the Hendrix College Seconds scoreless during the first three quarters, but in the final period the Bullpups put forth addi- tional pepper and pushed two touch downs across the Catholics line. Sin clair kicked one goal and the Pups won the battle, 13 to 0. The Pups goal was threatened on several oc- casions, but the Headricks braced and held the visitors for downs.

 "Piggie" Sinclair was the principal groundgainer for the local eleven. He played a star game throughout. "Gob" Burr and "Ted" Harton also played star game. "Pint' Mizell and "Squaw" McQuire starred for Little Rock.

Little Rocks Long Fight
 For Constant Gas Supply
BY CLIO HARPER.

Little Rock, Sept. 23.-A popula- tion of probably 125,000 depends up- on the gas that flows through six teen-inch main for it's domestic heat, both summer and winter, and for a large amount of it's industrial heat as well. In the city of Little Rock alone, when winter makes the great est demand upon it, the Louisiana gas field must furnish as high as | l17,000,0 ,000 feet daily to meet the re- quirements of the consumers.
 To provide for this tremendous de- mand, the Arkansas Natural Gas Company has invested a total of $5,- 500000 in a pipeline and terminal plants for bringing the gas maxi mum distance of 250 miles. The con- yvruction of the pipeline is in itself a considerable engineering problem, since it crosses six rivers and as many bayous that are in high water as traecherous as the rivers.
 Little Rock and intermediate points have had natural gas for five years, During the past year the consumers have been deprived of gas four sepa- rate times on account of breaks in the mains, and the question is one that has concerned many thousands 1 of people. In order that clear un- derstanding of the situation might be had, a committee of the Little Rock city council, accompanied by an en- gineer, visited the point where the gas mains cross Red river, near Gar land City, Miller county, last week, and made a thorough inspection.
 There has been no trouble what ever where the pipe line crosses Red river, a mile below Garland City, nor where the line crosses any other rver. All the trouble has been on the opposite side of the river and four miles above Garland City, where the pipeline parallel with the levee and on the landslide of it.
 Red river is notoriously one of the most treacherous and uncertain streams in the United States, and in tte memory of man it's course has

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Boston, Oct. 12.-For the third suc- cessive time and by an identical score, the Boston Americans today humbled the Philadelphia Nationals, 2 to 1. Shore, who pitched the first game and lost to the mighty Alexan- der, was sent in again by Manager Carrigan today and he triumphed over Chalmers, although the pitching honors were almost if not quite even. Boston made eight hits to seven by the Phillies, but Chalmers struck out six against Shores four and Chalmers walked only two against four passes issued by Shore.
 The series now stands three to one in Boston's favor, with a possible three more games to be played. When ever the American Leaguers win one more, however, the series will end, and the Phillies' desperate chance lies in winning the next three games. After having defeated the National's s star pitcher, Alexander, however, this chance is considered indeed a slim one.
 Boston took the lead in the third inning of todays game and was never headed. In the third Barry, first up, was given a pass and Cady singled. Shaw went out on a grounder to third, advancing Barry and Cady. Hooper singled and Barry scored. Scott flew out to left field and Speaker popped to first.
 In the sixth inning, with Speaker retired, Hoblitzel singled and Lewis, whose single broke up yesterdays s game, poled out a long double, scoring Hobby from first.
 Boston lost a fine opportunity to score again in the eighth. After Scott had gone out on grounder to third, Speaker singled past third. Hobllt- zell followed with a single and Lewis was given a pass, filling the bases with but one out. Gardner, however, hit into double play, retiring the side. Chalmers pscked up his ground CT and rifed it to Burns, forcing Speaker, and Burns doubled Gardner at first.
 Philadelphia's lone score came in the same inning. With two out and three balls called, Shore grooved one for Cravath. Cravath met the ball souarely and it went on line to cen ter, bounding over Speakers head, for three bases. Luderus singled, his third hit in the game, bringing Cra- vath home in a walk.

undergone some tremendous changes. It's alluvial banks, an alluvial bed, known in places to be nearly 100 feet deep to bedrock, and the flat, allu- vial fields, offer little resistance to the terrific floods that sweep down it's tortuous channel, in places almost doubling itself, seeking outlet for the vast volume of waters The recent August rise is said by those familiar with the history of the river to have been unprecedented, and it is there fore not surprising that the pent up waters broke their way through levees, wrought disaster to fertile plantations, swept out pipelines and threatened railroads, and around Gar land City spread out in varying depths for a width of twelve miles.
 No artifice of man could have with stood this terrific force of nature The heavy 16-inch pipe line was washed out and far away the people of Hope, Prescott, Gurdon, Arkadel- phia, Hot Springs, Sheridan, Pine Bluff, and Little Rock were deprived of gas.
 It was impossible for workmen to reach the break while the flood was at it's height, but as soon as the water had subsided so that negro Worknen' waiding in water and mud to thelr waists, and sometimes going in ever their heads, could reach the place, q temporary 10-inch emergency me was carried across with infinite lapor' and the gas turned on, only to pc out not long afterward by another rise before the line couu be permanently repaired.
 Again a temporary line was car, ried for half mile through the drll' and the ooze, to meet the emergency, As soon as the water had recedeu and resumed it's channei' work was commenced on the consJruc- tion of a permanent pipe line, so con that it is reasonably suio that not even rise like those ot thi' vnar will oOrrv if out aOain.
