On Sunday last the children and
grandchildren of Hon. b. NJ. Estes
gave him a surprise dinner on the
occasion OF his seyentysecond birth
day which was an occasion of enjoy
ment to all participating, but especial.
ly to Major Estes.
In order to permit complete sur
prise Mrs. Estes requested Mr.. Estes
to walk out in the orchard to see if
the late winds had blown down the
apples This gave time for the chill.
dren to come in and spread the din
ner on the beautiful lawn It was a
splendid dinner and all partook hear
tily Of the good things so well pre-
pared.
The party was treated to few we'll
selected songs by the Capps quartet,
consisting of two of the grand sons,
Ernest and Otto Pillow and their
wives, Inc music was well rendered
and enjoyed by all Next was a Dutch
song by Layton and Dorothy Holt,
small grand children, which was suns
in German and much laughter and
cheering followed. Then a few we'll
chosen remarks of thanks by Mr.. and
Mrs. Estes, who expressed their ap-
probation of the many tokens of love,
One expression was, "Yes, dear chill

give them to us now. One rose given

our journey down the western slope
Of life, is worth more to us than a
wagon load strewn on our graves"

financial healthfulness OF Arkansas
and the United States.
Justice Hughes has nothing to talk
about that he could even distOrt into
an issue. and has not BEEN able 10 criti-
else the administration save III gen.
eral way. He has talked himself
down and yet has said nothing. He
has made a long campaign from coast
to coast, but when. you make close
examination you cannot even find his
trail.
The state campaign is going along
fine. We are preparing to send Out a
corps of strong speakers into the
counties that need our assistance, and
will send few to other places to help
get out a big vote. We have a small
campaign contribution on hand and
shall try to pay the expenses of the
speakers as far as we can. Every
thing is in fairly good working order,
and when the campaign is opened, it
will be prosecuted vigorously until the
polls close on November I. | believe
that this year we shall be able to
carry every county in the state. even
the few that have been going Republi-
can. We can do this with the ear
nest cooperation of every Democrat
in the state, and | am sure we have
that. Our purpose is to sweep the
state clean, from. township to state

IN REGARD TO SUNDAY SHOWS.

Many are asking If there will be a
show next Sunday. can answer this
by saying NO. It was not my inten-
ton to run a Sunday show, The rea-
son I opened last Sunday was not to
test out the law, but my picture for
last Saturday had been delayed eight
hours on the Kansas City Southern
Railroad and besides being a Serial
in IS Chapters, which ! have paid for
in full, was either to be run or lost,
and those keeping up with the Serial
would lose interest by missing this
chapter. II being impossible for me
to hold it over until Monday or to get
it back here again within three weeks,
decided to run it on Sunday.
Hoping this explains the matter and
assuring all that there will be no
Sunday show hereafter, | am,

NUMBER n
GOVERNOR ISSUES A FIRE
WARNING TO BOYS AND GIRLS.
Says Young Comprehend Some Things
That Adults can't-Fixes Oct. 3
as Fire Prevention Day.

Adults have fixed habits and set
tied views but the young have open
minds and with unprejudiced discrim-
ination they are better able TO attack
our evil American habit OF burning
up, clrelessly and ignorantly, our
houses. stores and public buildings"
says the proclamation issued by Gov.
George W. Hays of Arkansas, setting
October 9 as Fire Prevention Day"
"Our fire losses amount to more than
$500 ,OO0,OOO each year we are told"
he says, "and includes a toll Of hu-
man life large enough to populate the
average county seat of Arkansas"
Therefore the governor concludes
that Arkansas must look to the young
er generation; the boys and girls in
the public schools and private schools
and colleges TO deal with the great
fire evil, which is benefiting no man
but is robbing the people OF the Uni
ted States of great riches each year.
Citizens generally are asked to ear
ry out the spirit OF the occasion by
taking that day to inspect fhes. wir-
ing, heating equipment and premises
for fire hazards. II is propable that
Fire Prevention Day has never been
so widely observed before in Arkan-
sas as it will be this year.

 Mr. Harper in speaking of the work thus far done on the Conrad properties this season is very en- thusiastic, and stated to a repre- sentative of the Daily ALaskan' that they have been operating only six weeks, but in that time the showing Is even beyond ther expectations, and while real mining mas hardly begun, they have taken out some thing like three carloads of ore which was sacked and has been brought over and will be shipped to the Tacoma smelter. Fourteen men are now employed but this force is being increased as fast as good men can he secured. "The mine has been sufficiently opened up,"' said MT. Harper, "to permit me to state that increased shipments will be made during the balance of the summer and will continue through out the fall and winter, There has been no disappointment in the physical conditionB of the proper ties as the ground has been opened up and the last showing Of ore is even better than oIr expectations Arrangements are being perfected for the shipment of the ore in bulk instead of sacked as at present, and i' our plans are not retarded the bulk shipments will begin in about two weeks"
 MT. Harper is well known throughout the state'of Washington, having operated in the Republic mining district of that state, and Mir. Kyer, while a Cheechako in AL aska, is thoroughly conversant with the great Northland, he being of the Seattle ttrm of Augustine and Kyer, and therefore he has been in touch with the AlasIans and people of the north, and familiar with every detail of mine operations in the north.
