All the lands are entitled to their

Amount Of Water in Doubt.
The amount OF water has been vari-

ures or the bureau OF autobiography are
so scientific in terms they have 10 be
interpreted to secure a commercial
basis for comprehension and action.
The government has not the heces.

well adapt itself to the varying circum.
stances OF seasons. cultivation, and in.
dividual notions in applying the water
to say two hundred homesteads.
II has been trying to have the two
plantations set aside personalities and
form an independent government SUI
pervised organization to conserve and
distribute the water.
I mention the two plantations, as
they are the only main. sources of
capital and have at nominal leases
made large amounts OF money out OF
these government lands and leases.
The governor believes this policy o!
independent conservation and distribu
ton can and viii be brought about,
and that the factors to bring it about
are in the governments hands.
Some OF the incidental delays and
problems have been very trying and
have felt the homesteaders and public
would feel weary. There is. however,

TRANSPORTATION for these lands and
products must be adjusted to a public
service basis and administration.

The facts are available to everyone

On Kauai there are 1o.05e acres OF
cane land, all leased, except $50, but
in the course Of two to FIVE years
most Of them will be available for

only be determined by survey and not

The administration is earnestly try.

they might prove temporary relief,
they have not been calculated to final

PROSPECTS GOOD
 NEW MAIL SERVICE
Plans of Wilbourne and Du- val Will Give Service on
 Two Iron Mt. Trains.

] Postmaster John D. Wilbourne and
 Assistant Postmaster c. E. Duval are
 much enthused over the prospects of
 success attending their efforts to | have railway mail service established on Iron Mountain passenger trains 1 Nos. 137 and 13S, such service being badly needed not only by the business ! men of Pine Bluff, but by the busi- ness men and farmers in the> country between Little Rock and Eudora.
 The proposition is to have the mail
 car with clerk placed on those two trains, and to be operated between
 Little Rock and Eudora, a distance of approximately IA miles. At least two railway mail clerks, and perhaps three will be needed to handle the service.
 At present, most of the smaller towns on the Iron Mountain have but
 one mail train day, and the new
 service, if it is installed, will give
 them two mail trains each way each
 day, which will work greatly to the
 advantage of the small towns and
 the big cities alike, in allowing of
 more rapid means of mail communi- cation. Nothing definite has been done in the matter yet, the postoffice author ities at Shreveport New Orleans ! and Washington having taken up the
 proposition in formal manner, and all of them having set in motion the
 necessary preliminaries, upon the re- suit of which the final decision will | depend.

Saved by FireHies.

The gigantic tropical frefies
which swarm in the forests and
canebrakes of most Of the low lying
West Indian islands once proved
the salvation of the city Of Santo
Domingo. A body of buccaneers,
headed by the notorious Thomas
Cavendish, had laid all their plans
for a descent upon the place, in
tending to massacre the inhabitants
and carry away all the treasure they
conveniently could, and had actual
ly put off their boats for that pur-
pose. As they approached the land,
however, rowing with mufled oars,
they were greatly surprised to see
an infinite number of moving lights
in the woods which fringed the
bayou up which they had to pro-
ceed, and, concluding that the Span
iards knew of their approach, they
put about and regained their ship
without attempting to land.

Perpetual Fires.

The following are some of the
perpetual fires in the world.
The sacred fire of Baherem, re-
puted to have been kindled 1900
years ago, burns in temple in the
village Of Jodwada, India. This fire
was consecrated by the Parsees in
commemoration of their safe voy-
age to India.
In the vaults where the czars OF
Russia are buried two great candles,
one at the head and the other at
the feet, are always kept burning.
When the tomb of Pallas, son OF
Evander, was opened in the twelfth
century, they found lighted lamp
hung above his head, which had
presumably been burning for S,ooo
years.

Ridino Away With the Bride.

In many Of the border counties
Of England the quaint old bridal
customs of hundreds Of years ago
are still in vogue. The parents
carefully abstain from appearing at
the marriage ceremony, clinging to
the idea that the bridegroom still
rides away on foaming steed with
his bride behind him as in the good
cid days. The brides prefer the
custom to the modern method OF
being given away at the altar in the
orthodox fashion.
