Little Rock, July 2.-Failure to cooperate with experts of the Uni versity of Arkansas and the gov ernment is causing Arkansas farm CTS to lose thousands of dollars from hog cholera, according to Dr. J. E. Gibson, veterinary field agent of the United States department of agriculture. Dr. Gibson returned to Little Rock after two weeks trip over the state.
 Dr. Gibson said the cholera epi- demic is general over the state and that only cooperation and care will save the state from large loss. He was sent to Arkansas by the de- partment of agriculture to assist the farmers control cholera and maintains an office in the old state house.

This budget will in each instance cover salaries, expenses, supplies and repairs, feed, fuel and departments will be required to hold expenditures within the bud get allowance"
 After the council meeting Alder men John H. Hollis and c. E. Smith, members of the finance committee, said all credit is due Mayor Taylor for having success fully financed the city's affairs. MT. Hollis hastily wrote out the follow ing statement, which was approved by MT. Smith;
 While Mayor Taylor has had the counsel of the board of public affairs and the finance committee in his efforts to put the city on such a financial basis as it merits, and to make a market for the city time warrants such as the city has never enjoyed, the mayor is en- titled to the credit. He has suc- cessfully carried out the plan for which he has labored unceasingly since he became mayor.
 "The citizens of Little Rock owe Mayor Taylor a debt of gratitude for having made it possible to save the city $12,000 year on account of the difference between the rate of discount on our city warrants in the past and the rate warrants are now being taken by foreign bankers. In addition to this, the city will save at least $10,000 each year by being able to buy supplies for cash instead of hay ing to buy on credit, as we have been doing heretofore

 Herschel Nicely and Med Donald son of this place, J. A. Galain of Stuttgart, Foster Rogers of Texar- kama, Wash Cliborn of Conway and Jas. R. Fernandez of Fort Smith, game wardens for Arkansas, re- turned to Paragould last night from the Big Lake district where they spent four days conferring with the maket fishermen and advising them on the provisions of the new game and fish law. Mr. Nicely said this morning they ran into no trouble with the market fishermen, that all of them expressed a willingness to obey the law, and that forty or fif- ty licenses were either taken out immediately or ordered to be sent to them in the near future. He said the wardens were treated most courteously by the fishermen and that they were invited to visit that section frequently.

 FIGHT ABANDONED
Arkansas Railroad Commission Will Not Seek to Have Two-Cent
 Rate Restored.

Little Rock, July 2.-The Ar kansas railroad commission will make no effort to restore two cent passenger rate on the Frisco and the Kansas City Southern rail- roads, now charging three cents, it was announced here yesterday, though the new freight tariffs which were made effective by the two roads were declared unreason- able in the federal district court Wednesday. The commission asked that the restraining order which permitted the Frisco to place it's own tariff in effect be modified to an extent that court tariff would be operative. The Kansas City Southern had agree to permit the decisions in the Frisco suit to gov ern the disposition of it's own case. The hearing to perpetualIy en- join the Arkansas railroad com mission from putting into effect it's own tariffs will be held in St. Louis in the circuit court of ap- peals Dec. II. Though the Frisco tariff, in effect from April 29 un- ! til August l, when the court tariff will become effective, was declar- ed unreasonable, no refunds will be exacted of the road.
 RATE MATTERS COME UP.
 The regular monthly meeting of the Arkansas railroad commission will take place July ' and 8. Or the last named date rate matters alone will be considered. The usual number of petitions will be laid before the commission on the opening day, including better train service on the Midland Valley road at Midland, Hartford and other towns; petitions for an interchange track and for town switching on the Frisco and Kansas Ci-y-Me.4- phis road at Fayetteville; for bet ter train service on the Iron Mountain at Cushman, Sidney, Bar ren Rock and other points; peti' tion for better train service on the Rock Island at Hubert, and fol better train service on the Iror Mountain at Warren, Monticello Wilmot and other towns in tha' Il section of the State.

PIONEER CITIZENS
 EXCHANGE MEMORIES
(From Saturdays Daily Press.)


 Standing at the junction of Court and Pruet streets today Esq. J. w. Patton remarked to a friend that 35 years ago today he rode over what is now these crowded thoroughfares, but then a swamp, on his initial prospecting tour of this section of Arkansas. Tom R. Lloyd of Bethel came up and re- marked that at about the same time Willis Pruett offered him forty acres where the union station now stands for a small black mule. He declined the offer as a bad bar gain. MT. Lloyd further observed that his father traded a little vel low mule and rickety wagon for the c. D. Morrice place, now worth $8,000. Uncle Henry Cole Joined the crowd of pioneers and said that he came here ten years before any of the others, and that fine hunting could be had then right where the four banks stand and the territory adjacent. These ear ly day "reminiscences were rudely brought to a close by the uproar oi traffic and the hum and pressure of the throngs on the streets and sidewalks.

Little Rock, July 3.-The city Of Little Rock will be on cash oasls immediately. William Salomon' banker. of New York city, ap- pointed fiscal agent through an or dinance passed at special session of the city council, will refund warrants totaling s250,000 at a discount of 1-2 per cent per an- nm In addition, MT. Solomon will receive a salary and expenses, which will make the total cost to the city approximately per cent. All outstanding warrants due on or before August l will be paid in cash, and through future cash purchases of supplies, and the difference on rates of discount, ap- proximately $22,000 annually will be saved.
 The appointment of the fiscal agent and the satisfactory settle ment of the city's financial affairs is the result of several weeks ne- gotiation by Mayor Taylor. He has been in correspondence with bank CTS in Little Rock, St. Louis, Chi cago and New York, and this re- suited in the receipt of several ten tative offers. He reported this to the board of public affairs and the finance committee early this week
 MAYOR IS CERTIFIED.
 Following the meeting Thursday night Mayor Taylor made the fol- lowing statement:
 "I am much gratified over the closing of arrangements whereby s25O,000 worth of Little Rock city warrants, due on years extension, on August l, 1916, have been sold in New York city on most reasona- ble terms. We have been working on these plans for some time, and I naturally take some pride in their successful consummation. The deal was closed through fiscal agent, employed by the city, on basis of a salary and expenses, the total cost of which will not be more than 5 per cent of the total amount of the warrants issued. When it is re- membered that only three or four years ago, and in fact, in less time than that, our city warrants were being discounted in Little Rock and other cities on basis in some cases as high as 10 and 12 or a higher per cent, it will be seen that we have some cause for qualification over an arrangement that gives us money on a similar basis to that enjoyed by other cities of like re- sources. I have contended all along that Little Rock was entitled to the best of everything, including the charges for accommodations by the banks. It would seem that my con- teption has been sustained and that the rate which we now have secur- ed is a fair and reasonable one.
 WILL GET LOWER PRICES.
 "The new arrangement will per init the city to pay cash for it's monthly purchases and will enable us to get the lowest possible cash prices on all bills. This in itself
