TRY THE ALASKA CURE

no YOU by any chance have rheumatism! And
- are you looking for health reSort-hot springs,
say' Perhaps you live on the Pacific coast. If
so, better not consider going to Arkansas, or Vir-
GINA, or somewhere else in the States. Why not
try our perfectly good boiling springs at Sitka, or
ketchikan, or Hoonah, Alaska?
All these places are in southeastern Alaska,
few days sail from Seattle Near them are located
valuable mineral hot springs now being used by
the residents OF Alaska. Or If you don't mind the
journey and want sea trip in addition, why not
take summer steamer up as far as Nome, Alaska
Forty miles out of Nome are some fine boiling
mineral springs
As an alternative (tho il might be better to
wait for the Uncle Sam government raroad) you
might 90 into the interior, to the town of Hot
Springs, on the Tanana river. There are located
the Baker hot springs, with bath houses and
hotel-of kind.
Anyhow, many Alaskans journey TO Hot
Springs TO enjoy the baths.
The best thing about hot springs in Alaska is
the fact that they are all on government reserva-
tons
One of the first acts of Secretary OF the Interior
Fisher when he succeeded Ballinger in The office,
was to issue a general withdrawal order covering
not only all known hot springs, but all that might
thereafter be discovered in Alaska.
Altho there is no law under which these springs
may either be conducted by Uncle Sam, or leased
out TO private parties, there is at the present time

It would cove" all the terri tory between Drainage District No. 2, district to drain the bay sand the St. Francis river, the entire length of this county and some territory in Craigheau and Cross counties.
 This would be one of the largest drainage districts in this section and would drain one of the largest and finest areas of land in the St. Francis river bottom. It is necessary to have this canal cut before the road is built from this city to the St. Francis river This would drain about five townships of the finest lands in the St. Francis basin. The road to be built from here to the St. Francis river will give an outlet to the section so that it can be put into cultivation.

Little Rock
 The Board of Control of the State Charitable Institutions is endeayoring to arrange with banks to buy all war rants issued to employees of the chari- table institutions at fixed rate until there will again be money enough in the treasury to redeem them, accor- ing to members ol the board. The amount of the warrants will approxi mate $100,000. Since July the war rants have been redee ~lable at the state treasury or have sold practically at par.
 With more than S100,000 in state warrants now outstanding and the certainty that the amount will con- tinue increasing for sveral months it is certain that warrants will decline in value until the first settlements of county collectors begin next spring. Members of tie board say they be- dove many of the employees of the state institutions cannot afford to sell their warrants on the market and for that reason the board is endeayoring to find a fixed market at a low dis count rate for it's employees.

The farmers have raised more foodstuffs than ever be- fore in Arkansas history They have filled their silos and have made all necessary provisions for the winter, without receiving as much grain as usual from other states. As a result the inbound grain product movement to Arkansas is not more than one third of what it was a year ago. The only business that has shown no signs of improvement IS the stave business, in which depression is said to be due to the small demand for barrels by the distillers and wine man. ufacturers.

w 1T. Garanflo and R. D. Duncan, president and cashier, respectively, Of the defunct State National Bank Of Little Rock, were indicted by the federal grand jury on several counts alleging irregularities on the banks management. Bond cor S1O,0OO was furnished by each derendant after he had been in the custody of the United States marshal for several hours.
 The charges were based on five drafts alleged to have been issued by, the two bank officials, without knowl- edge of the Lank directors, which were drawn on the funds, already over drawn, of the State Trust Company, subsidiary concern of the State Ma tional Bank, in the latter institution. The sixth charge, setting forth the
 ve alleged draft transactions, sets up conspiracy charge to defraud. The five drafts caused the State Trust Company's account with the State Ma tional Bank to be overdrawn $75,- S81.75, it is alleged.
 K. M. Huston, the accountant em- ploycd by the Department of Justice, obtained the evidence on which the in- dictments were returned during last May and June, when he audited and examined the books and accounts Of the defunct bank.
 When the State Bank failed 1000 depositors had more than $900,000 on deposit in the institution. The bank was first turned over to a committee of the directors for liquidation, having oeen dec.ared solvent. Later it was declared insolvent and Lloyd England was appointed receiver. Since the ap- pointment of the receiver two 10 per cent dividends have been paid the de- positors.
