uaton as placed for 1915. The as
SCISSOR however reporting a material
decrease of valuation in School Dis
trlct IS due to the fact that machin'

With the end OF the campaign less
than week off all Of the candl dates
for office are redoubling their efforts
to see the voters before it is too late.
The political outlook In Gilmore
county is less certain than 1t has
been before, and the political wise
acres concede that it Is anybody s
election yet. There will be Republic
can and Democrats in the court house
OF prophecies have been offered the
and in the state house too A numbe
Republican but We believe our guess
is as good as anyone 8, and that is,
we don't know who IS TO Win and
have no data ON which to formulate
a forecast.

When you go to the polls you will
receive pink ballot with the con-
stitutional amendment on it. n The
first QUE is the prohibition amend
meat and it is important that full
vote should be given it so that 1t
will be a settled issue. Ii there are
only 10000 or 10000 cast the losing
side will claim that 1t not a repre-
sentative expression and 1T will be
q political football for another four
years. Then look to the second
amendment. 1t provides that the
state can sell 100 sections of school
land each year. The provision at
present in the constitution provides
for the sale of not more than rs
sections in any one year. But the
state owns vast tracts of land be-
sides the public school lands and
there is no limit to the amount OF
that land that can be sold. The opin
ion OF this writer Is that there LIS
enough land to sell without tamper-
ing with the heritage of the district
schools

against Gilmore County, without first
giving said County an opportunity to
make settlement for said timber, and

recover would be on the basis OF the
value of manufactured timber which
would not be less than $1,000 per M

All OF the cases We're promptly quar-
antined and there have been no new
cases since the original three develop

River Continues Falling, But Recession of Flood
 Will Be Slow.
I,AKEBED WILL NOT
 BE DRY FOR WEEKS
May Be FOrtnieht or Wore Before Residents of That Section Can Re. turn tO Their HOmes-PIan to
 Resume Street Car S. vice.

The Arkansas river at Pine Bluff is slowly falling.
 The 1916 flood is about to pass in to history, after having reached an official stage of 29.6 feet, an.i after having broken all previous records.
 Because there is considerable wa" ter up the river which is coming i'll this direction, and because the choll- ed Mississippi is preventing the out flow of the water from the Arkansas, the fall here is expected to be slow for several days, and there is little likelihood of all the overflow water being removed in less than a week or so.
 Many householders, forced to move out of their homes in the flooded area here, are planning to return home during the next few Jays, es- of the reach of the water which filled streets, sidewalks and yards all around them. Others whose Eomes actually were flooded will not be able to return until early in the week.
 In the lakebed section itself, it may be two weeks before many of the houses can be .reoccupied by their negro tenants. Some of the houses had water more than half way 7o the ceiling.
 State street, between Third and Fourth avenues, is again clear of Wal ter and the railroad tracks in Fourth avenue are virtually clear, there be- ing water only in the low spots until the lakebed section is reached. Preparing for Hard Work. With the fall already started, ar engagements are being made for quick resumption of service by the street car company in East Second and East Sixth avenue, which has been inter- rupted since Sunday last.
 The city officials are also figuring on being called to do lot of hard work, repairing bad spots in the streets and clearing away drift ani other trash left by the receding Wa ters. The railroad companies will have much minor work also to do, 5ut they are centering all their efforts now to bring about resumption of all operation in the traffic depart ment. The Iron Mountain freight de- pot, which was partially cut off by the high water, is again reachable without getting wet feet or the need of hoats
