COUATY'S SHARE Of WORK
ON CUTOFF EEARlY DONE
RAILWAY CREW NOW ENGAGED
IN WIDENING PASSAGEWAY
TO 20 FEET.

The county's share Of the work on
the cutoff leading to the bridge ac-
ross the UmatlIla above the St An
thongs hospital is now virtually COM
pleted and a railroad crew is engaged
IN widening the passageway under the
bridge so as to make II 20 feet in
width
The work on the cutoff was handl-
ed by force account and cost approx
imately $4,000 The change in the
road works an immense improvement
both In the grade and in the curve so
as to render travel much safer.
The work by the railroad company
will also be beneficial, the bents be-
ing moved so as to make them paral-
lei with the road. In excavating for
the cutoff the county used the dirt for
making a rs foot fill at the east end
of the bridge, thus doing away with
one section OF the bridge approach. A
small bridge in the Riverside road
was also eliminated and the floor Of
the Wild Horse cut improved
The cutoff by the bridge is now in
Use and all that remains to be done
consists in the removal of a small
ledge Of rock near one end, Within
few days this will have been removed
and the railroad bridge will have been
strengthened so that the improve
ments will be complete except for the
surfacing of the road. County Judge
Marsh says the surfacing work will
have to wait until the macadam plant
is brought down from the east end OF
the county
The steel for the new bridge over
the Umatilla has not yet arrived. The
county is to place the concrete work
for this bridge and this work cannot
be done until the river is low.

some immediate action.
There is little ground remaining
in the central part Of the city which
can be acquired for park purposes
and the city should not permit this
opportunity to pass by" they said in
part.
The attitude of the acting mayor
was distinctly opposed to the prop
osition. His objections were several.
In the first place ne declared he was
against mourning any debts for fu-
ture administration to pay. Moreover.
he suggested that If the north eide

Chances for the revival of the rac- ing game in Arkansas, principally at Hot Springs, was killed when the Ar kansas Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by the Arkansas State Fair Association asking fer a manda- mus to compel Secretary of State Hodges to advertise the Sawyer rac- ing bill as one of tho acts passed by the last Legislature. The court dis missed the case on the ground that the acts had already been published by the secretary of state.
 For the reason that we cannot now grant the relief prayed" says the de- cision, Eve decline to decide whether the appellant would have been entit- led to relief were it in our power to afford it, and his appeal therefore is dismissed"
 Continuing, the court said:
 Since submission of this cause here the fact is called to our attention that the acts of the General Assembly for the session of 1915 already have been published by the secretary of state, and it is now become impossi- ble for this court to award appellants the relief prayed, even though we should determine that they were en- titled thereto"

FARMERS URGED ID
 RAISE MORE HOGS
U. S. AGENT OF ANIMAL HUS BANDRY SAYS NUMBER WILL
 NOT CONSUME CORN CROP.
ONE FIRM SHIPS 10000 HEAD
Fulton County Is the Only One of Many Arkansas Counties Which
 Handles Hogs Extensively.
Little Rock,

LlCLle ROCK
 The retention of hogs in Arkansas rather than the sale of them to other states at this time, is recommended by Dr. c. M. Morgan, agent of animal husbandry, United States Department of Agriculture, who returned to Little Rock from trip through north Ar kansas. pr. Morgan said that one firm of stock buyers in Fulton Cou..- ty has shipped 10000 hogs to Nort1- ern markets in the last two years.
 With bumper crop of corn farm CTS should keep every one of their hogs and if possible buy more," he said. Cattle for feeding can be bought later, but at the rate hogs are being sold, they will be very scarce by the time the corn is harvested. The firm in Fulton County is only one of many in north Arkansas which handles hogs extensively. They have to immunize for cholera before they can be taken across the line into Mis- souri, and this causes the young and unfattened hogs to cost more to the farmer proportionately than they would if fattened on the farm and then sold"

BOMB WRECkS ROOM IN CAPITOL BUILDING
OFFICIALS BELIEVE EXPLOSIVE WAS PLACED BY A CRANK
 WISHING SENSATION.
CLAIMS NO ONE INJURED
Superintendent Woods Examined the Structural Features of Building
 and Found No Damage.

Washington. A tremendous ex plosion, believed to have been caused by some kind of bomb or irfernal ma chine, wrecked the public reception room on the east side of the capitol building. No one was injured
 Officials believe that the explosive was placed by crank who desired to create sensation. Visitors were al lowed in the room during the day and Q timed machine might have been left without attracting attention.
 Superintendent Woods of the capi- tol building, summoned by panic stricken watchmen, made a hurried investigation, then telephoned for an expert on explosives. Until the ex- pert has made his report no official statement will be made
 Part of the ceiling and side walls of the room were shaken down, q huge mirror and crystal chandelier shattered and the doors blown open. One of the doors led into the offices of the vice president and is said not to have been opened in 40 years.
 The building had been closed since dark and there was no one in it but the watchmen and telephone switch board operators. Watchman Jones, on the floor below at the east en- trance, said he was blown from his chair by the explosion.
 The report could be heard for a mile and in few minutes a crowd of excited people had gathered on the east plaza. Lights had been switched on and excited officials were rushing back and forth on two floors of tho great building.
 A strong odor permeated the build. ing, but no one seemed able to detect just what it was
 While some officials thought the ex- plosion was the work of an irrespoL- sible crank. others suggested that it might have been perpetrated by q person desiring to demonstrate disap- proval of some of the policies of the American government. It was appar- ent that there was no intent to<sa- stroy life, as it is generally known the room is empty at night.

B|G DECREASE IN
 FERTILIZER SALES
SAYS COTTON REDUCTION DE CREASED BUSINESS TO ONE
 THIRD OF 1914 DEMAND.
NEW LAND IN CULTIVATION
Actual Number Acres Planted in Cot ton Last Year, But Planted to
 Something Else Is 20 Per Cent.
Little Rock.

Arkansas cotton crop this year will be less than in former years, accord Ing to John H. Page, commissioner Of mines, manufactures and agriculture. From reports which have come to his office, MT. Page estimates the re duction in acreage to be between H. and 20 per cent. From his records of the amount of fertilizer sold this year, fin comparison with other years, Mir Page believes the yield per acre 7s- pecially in the upland districts, will be decreased. The amount of ferti- nzer sold this year, most of which is used on cotton land, was approximate ly one-third of that sold last year, or 83.O00 tons. Last year 99O60 tons were sold.
 The actual number of acres plant ed in cotton last year, but planted to something else this year, probably is greater than 20 per cent, MT. Page said, "but it must be taken into con. sideration that thousands of acres are in cultivation this year that were not last year. Most of this newly cleared land is in cotton. I believe the great est reduction in cotton acreage is in northeast Arkansas. Reports I have received indicate that the large plan tations have reduced their cotton be- cause they are better equipped to raise other crops than the average small farmer"
