SEWARD CITY COUNCIL
 BAR ARCHITECT FOREVER

c. w. Winstead, an architect, has made so much trouble for the city council of Seward that the members have passed resolution forever bar ring him from addressing that body. In a recent issue of Seward paper appears the following:
 G. w. Winstead, who has come to be known as the Tribune of the Peo- pie, rose once more last night on the floor of the city council chamber and delivered Phillippic whose mordant power can be gauged by the fact that the municipal governing body. nem. eternal silence so far as that dis tinguished body is concerned. In other words MT. Winstedt rose to re- mark that the members of the pres ent city council, because they grant ed a right of way on street to men who wish to build wharf, were dis honorable and that at the next cleo tion the voters would express their opinion in no unmistakable terms. Unfortunately the parliamentary correspondent of the Gateway was not present at the time but was later informed that one of the members of the council moved a resolution that MT. Winstedt never again be listened to in that house and the resolution carried. "The silv'ry voice that cheered us is silent evermore." |"

ANCHORAGE of the new Federal Labor Union at work on the labor temple are being criticised for the pernicious way in which they cut logs from adjacent property.
 All of the lots in that section of the townsite are timbered and the logs are held valuable for construc- tion purposes. The labor union is building a log hall and used nearby trees without regard to ownership Considerable hard feeling has re- suited.

Henry VIII. and Puddinss.

Bluff King Hal. otherwise Henry VIII. of England. was exceedingly fond of buildings. At one time he gave certain Mrs. Cornwailis Il house in Aid gate for herself aud her heirs forever "in reward of fine I,uddings." In King Henry vlll.'s private accounts occur again and again entries of his rewards to different housewives for bringing him ruddings. A typical instance ruus thus: "ltem. The same day lH,id L" the wife that made the king lndimgs at Hampton cOrte. vis viijd." This would be about $l.75. but Its value was much greater when the entry was made.

THE TURNAGAIN-KNIK
 REGION, ALASKA A

At the head of Cook Inlet, Alaska, is triangular area defined on the south by Turnagain Arm, on the north and west by Knik Arm, and on the east by rugged, unexplored mountains and glacier-filled valleys This area was examined in 1915 by party from the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, in charge of s. R. Capps, by whom a report has been prepared. This report, which is entitled "The Turnagain-Kni Region, Alaska" has recently been published by the Survey as Bulletin GAZE. It furnishes information regarding the general geographic features of the re- zion and it's geology and the mineral resources. Concerning the mineral resources the report states:
 "The mineral resources of the Aurn- |again-Knik region that have so far received the attention of miners and prospectors are the gold placers and the gold quartz lodes. From 1896 to 1898 a large number of placer claims were staked on the streams tributary to Aurnagain Arm from the north, and on a few of these claims, notably those on lower Crow Creek, mining has been carried on each year sonce. The entire output of placer gold has been derived from the Turnagain Arm slope of the mountains. Tn 1915 some placer claims were staked on tribu- taries of lower Knik Arm

BUY BRED SOWS.

In every county in Arkansas there are many farmers without hog and too many without pure bred hogs. With the fine money for cotton this year farmers will do we'll to invest in bred sows along about the middle of November, or if there is pure pred male available in a neighborhood gilts can be bought earlier and bred along the first of November, and thus far row about the first of March. Why not every farmer in Arkansas invest now in pure bred sow? If not avail able in the neighborhood, farmers should organize and bring in car load from some other country or from another state. Farmers who cannot spare the money will be able to bor- row from a bank for such an invest ment. Banks of DeQueen and several other towns are already announcing their willingness to make such loans. The Extension Division of the Uni versity of Arkansas and U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture will be glad to help in this movement.

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

A man may not even do with his own body what he pleases. Suppose he tries to kill tito commit suicide. If he fails he will go to Jail. And yet If the United States government should decide to go to war with any other nation it assumes the right, if necessary, to send him to the front to be shot down. He belongs to the state as we'll as to himself.
 If the state should decide that the saloon is a menace. and that 1t dis penses poison, then society has right to say that the saloon must go. no mat ter how 1t may affect anybody's per sonal liberty. We accept the restric- ton which the state imposes upon us In other relationships, Why not ac- cept 1t with regard to the saloon, espe- cialiy since it has been so clearly de- monstrated that the interests of the saloon are always opposed to the in terests of the workingmanf-Charies Sickle

CIRCUIT COURT
 CONFINES TODAY

Judge George R. Haynie of Pres colt convened circuit court in this city today. There was the usual crowd at the opening session at 10 o'clock this morning and the usual routine business was disposed of. It required until noon to empanel and instruct the grand jury, which is com posed of Is of the strongest citizens of the county, of which D. B. Thomp son is the foreman. Up to noon the clerks and bailiffs had not been select ed by the jury
 In his instruction to the inquisi- torial body Judge Hayne did not mlnce words. After instructing the jury in its duties with reference to investigating the affairs of the coun- 1 ty and the county officers records. he took up the charge against the pris- oners being held in jail awaiting ac- tion by the grand jury. He defined the laws governing various crimes and laid especial emphasis upon boot logging whiskey, carrying pistols and gambling. His honor delivered an exceedingly strong charge on these offenses against the law. He charged that the crime of selling whiskey in Arkansas is one of the vilest that comes before the court. In his in- structions he touched upon the effect of the crime upon the community and said that if these three particular vo- lations of the law could be abated the criminal branch of the court would have little work to do. His charge was lecture for temperance that. coming from the bench, should have great weight. He is fearless, frank and straightforward and does not hesitate to give his unofficial opinion upon what he considers the degree with which the crimes should be pun ished, and suggests that certain laws should be passed, especially covering the carrying of pistols, making it a felony.
 The civil docket will first be taken up. It is not large and as soon as it is disposed of the e-criminal docket will take the boards for a hearing While the cases docketed are not numerous, yet with the cases to be investigated the court will be kept in session the greater part of the next three weeks, it is thought-Hope Evening Herald, Oct. ?.

FIGHT THE BOIL WEEVIL.

Unless the farmers of Southern Ar kansas respond to the suggestions made by the Extension Division and by the bankers and others, to blow cotton fields this fall, seed rye on sopng fields and burn trash along dltcheS, roads, fences and about build lngs they will have the fun of plant fmg cotton next spring to feed the boil WeeWl. Of course if we have a severe winter probably eighty per cent of the VeevllS will be destroyed, but it is not safe to take the risk.

 One of Bongras' rear-room luxuries was portable telephone for every group of tables. Brouillard made a sign to the waiter, and the desk set was brought to him. If David Mas singale recognized the number asked for, he paid no attention; and, since a man may spend his life digging holes in the ground and still retain the in- stincts of a gentleman-if he happens to have been born with them-he was equally oblivious to the disjointed half of the telephone conversation he might have listened to.

Brouillard's antagonist in the game of hardihood changed his tactics.
 Forget it." he growled moroseIy. What do you want this timer"
 T want you to send a wire to Red Butte telling the smeIter people that you will be glad to have them handle thc Little Susan ore"
 And if I do?"
 If you do, two things otherwise due to happen adversely will go over to your side of the market. I'll agree to keep out of the way of the sham Wash ington delegation, and I think I can promise that Harlan won't make a scarehead of the facts concerning the COronida land titles"
 MT. Cartwright thrust the other arm into the remaining coat sleeve and scoWled. But the rebound to the norm of brusque good nature came almost Immediately.
 You are improving wonderfully, Brouillard, and that's no joke. I have a large respect for man who can out bid me in my own corner. You ought to be in business-and you will be, some time. I'll send the wire, but l warn you in advance that I can't make the smelter people take Massingale's Is ore if they don't want to. All can do is to give the old man a free field.'
 That is all he vii! ask-all I'll ask, except one small personal favor Don't rub your masquerading Washington delegation into me too hard. A fine quality of noninterference is about all you are buying from me-"
 Tell me one thing, Brouillard :: What is your stake in the Massingale game? Are you silent partner in the Little Susan'?"
 No"
 Then why are you so anxious to make old David a rich man at my ex- pense? Are you going to marry the girl ?"
 The engineer did not resent the ques. tion as he would have resented it a few weeks earlier Instead he smiled and said: "A little while ago.. MT. Cartwright, I told you that you didn't t know men; now I'll add that you don t know women"
