Bear Killing Story a Fake

The Gazette of few days ago contained "bear story" in which a 600 lb. black bear. after a dreadful battle with the hunter and dogs had been killed in the bottoms west of Brinkley, near Dagmar.
 Our clever old friend. w. R. Daugherty, of Brasfeld, was in Brinkley Saturday and reports that the story was all a hoax. The only bear that has been killed in the bottoms recently was one weighing 281 lbs. killed by Ramona Daugherty on Nov. 21st. 2 miles north of the Rock Island tracks. No dogs were killed in the last encounter thor in the first. except on paper.)
 Mr. Daugherty. who knows the woods like a book, says that the 600 pounders are going to be saved for a special purpose and the ARGUS man will tip this off" later on.

grade" of cotton. If our people can but realize the advantage of growing ONE satisfactory kind, the question will be solved. The Government Experts, together with the experience of the large cotton growers in the boil weevil district, should be profitable in determining on the best variety for the Brinkley territory farm CTS to plant. Quite a favorable expression is given of the Polk Early" as being even better than the Express, and l understand that quite a few of our farmers are preparing to buy the Polk variety of seed.
 Right now is the time for a concert of action and it does look to me like there should be a date set for our farmers and land owners to come together and consider as a whole, this and other matters of vital importance to their success and to the pro- gress and development of our community.

 A short but impressive charge to the juries was given by Judge Trimble, and he paid particular attention to the violations of the whiskey and cigarette selling laws.

Of course my wayside jotting from the Woody West" is of small consequence compared with the bread and meat question just now.

To many of our readers the streets of Wynne are almost as familiar as those of our own town, and we are naturally in- terested to read of happenings there. The following report from a well-known and respected resident will be helpful to num- bers of men and women here in Brinkley.
 Mrs. M. B. Burk, Wynne. Ark, says: ''Once in awhile l used to get right down on my back, owing to kidney trouble. Specks often hoated before my eyes and I could hardly see. l had dizzy spells and headaches and my kidneys didn't act as they should. Doan's Kidney Pills removed the pain in my back and strengthened my kid neys. {"

snap that passed over most of the country last week but 1t IS dry and bracing now.
 The contest in this state over the Governors race is unsettled yet, Gov. Geo. w. P. Hunt, the present incumbent. has been in office since the state was ad- mitted. The republicans ran Tom Campbell. a young man who was raised here in Prescott, and who has a good clean record as citi- zen, and who has made good wherever he has been tried. The state is safely democratic, many have fallen out with Gov. Hunt and turned him down at the re- cent election. The last report from Phoenix is that Campbell was ahead over one thousand votes.
 I see that old Arkansas gave Dr. Brough a rousing vote for governor, and also that you elected Judge Kirby for Senator. And did not the nation do the righteous act in re-electing Mir. Wilson for president? Fine man he is. But it appears there are perilous times ahead, who knows? Mir. Wilson and his cabinet will have plenty to do as new prob lens are continually arising. Prescott held a fair for the five northern counties the 19, 20 and 21 of Oct. The exhibits of farm, including corn, potatoes, hay, apples, pears. cotton, sheep, goats, hogs, chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks were good. The mineral exhibit was large and varied. There were also many school exhibits, also of art, be- side much interest was taken in the horse racing.
 This last week was Fair week at Phoenix, the state capitol. Ac- cording to newspaper accounts it was well attended and was quite a success.
 Workmen are under headway with the foundation for their S25O, 900 court house here. The principal material will be granite that they are getting from a quarry near here. This is a great state for stones and min erals. The mining interest seems to be ever on the increase.
 Let us have more of your trip with the Arkansas on Wheels. You people had just as we'll pre- pare for an influx of home seek CTS from Tennessee, Mississippi. Alabama, Georgia and the Caro- l Iinas, they are sure to come. And why not? You have plenty of good lands to give homes for thousands of farmers. l pre- dict that Judge Greenlee and Parker Evan will find buyers for some of their surplus acres. Men who are renting there would do Swell to buy now before the boom comes. But 1 must close. With best wishes to one and all.

WASHINGTON MOST

ARKANSAS VISITORS SEE
 INTERESTING SIGHTS.
Visit Many Noted Places During Stay of Train at
 Nations Capitol.

I had about determined to close the series of articles on the recent visit to Washington, D. c. and would have done so with last weeks article but for 8 number of ARGUS readers, both in Brinkley and in other states, have asked that they be con-. tinued.
 Last week I wrote of a half day spent at Mt. Vernon, in wis., iting the House Office Building and The Treasury. The after-4 noon and evening of the same day was the busiest of all for it was done on about the closest and fastest schedule ever. We drove in special sight seeing autos making the city, the White House and Executive Offices, The Capitol, the Bureau of Printing & Engraving, the Cocoran Art Gallery, the Nation al Museum. the Pan-American Building in the afternoon and the Congressional Library. the worlds finest and greatest build ing, at night.
 By a special arrangement we were shown thro' the White House and Executive Offices. One of President Wilson's body guards was our guide and having for years served in this capacity he was exceptionally interesting and entertaining as he conduct ed us about the White House. To me one of the most interest ing rooms in the White House was the State Dining Room. beautiful room paneled in dark English Oak and decorated with the heads of American big game. Surmounting and surrounding the magnificent marble mantle was a gorgeous old Flemish tapestry despicting country scene. In the center of the room was a massive table that seats 100 guests. In this dining room, brilliant state dinners mark the Washington Official season, the dinner to the Diplo- matic Corps, the Cabinet Dinner and the Supreme Court Dinner. For more than half century these dinners have been given by each President. l he com panion room to this was the East Room or State Parlor and here I saw a beautiful golden piano costing $50, ,000.00. The most gorgeous chandilier 1 ever beheld was here.
 The Blue Room is the Presi- dents Reception Room It is a Blue Room because the walls are covered with a gorgeous blue corded silk, with window trim mings and trappings to match. On the mantel saw the solid gold clock presented by Napoleon I to Lafayette and then to Wash ington.
 The Red and Green Rooms, the Presidents Room, the inter- esting display of the White House China in the corridors all furnished much interest as did the pretty grounds of the White House, with it's trees, flower beds, fountains and sloping lawns. On the south of the White House, is the sloping grounds where the kiddies" have annual Easter Egg hunts in commemoration of custom which we trace back to the time

SHIPPERS LOSE FIRST
ROUND IN FIGHT UPON
HIGHER FREIGHT RATES
New Classification on South
eastern Railroads. Effective
January 1, Allowed by Inter-
state Commerce Commission
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.--New classi-
locations of freight on the southeastern
railroads, which will result in increased
freight charges effective January l,
were allowed today by the interstate
commerce commission.
The southeastern lines serve the ter
ritory generally in the Atlantic and gulf
states south of the OHIO and Potomac
and east of the Mississippi river. In
allowing the new classifications the COM
mission specifically stated that it did
not place it's approval on the increases
and would entertain any formal COM
plant which may be made against the
reasonableness of the new changes.
The general revision of classification
to higher levels will result in general
increases on all classes of freight. The
commission has no estimate of how
much it will mean to the railroads, but
there is no doubt that if allowed to stand
finally the change will increase the
revenues many hundreds of thousands
OF dollars a year.
COMMISSIONS NOTICE.
The notice issued by the commission
follows:
During the present month the COM
mission received numerous protests
against tariffs filed by southeastern
lines to become effective January 1,
1916, and later, in response to its fourth
section order number 1866, and it also
received numerous petitions against
suspension of these tariffs.
MANY petitioners appeared in person
before the obard of suspension at in
formal hearings held in this city De-
cember 8, 1915, and December IA to
81, 1915, inclusive.
"The commission has declined to sus-
mend the operation of the tariffs protest
ed against which will become effective
as indicated January /, 1916, and later.
1.-THE fact that the commission has
not suspended the new schedules carries
with it no expression of approval, and
this action is subject to the duty of
the commission to investigate the law
fulness and reasonableness of any
schedule which may be made the sub
ject of formal complaint"

SIX BELIEVED DEAD
FROM EXPLOSION

CHICAGO, Jan. six workmen
missing and property damage esti-
mated at $4,000 are results of fire
which followed an explosion today In
the plant of the American Linseed Oil
company in South Chicago. The plant
was virtually destroyed. A number of
firemen and employees of the plant suf-
fered injuries.
The plant was known as the Cleveland
Linseed Oil company, branch of the
American Linseed company, and con-
sisted of four four-story brick build
ings. The flames demolished the in
terror of all four buildings.
The first explosion was in the perco-
lator building. The roof of the build
ing was blown off.
The first blast was followed by
smaller explosions as the flames reached
different tanks.
An oil barge in the Calumet slip
caught fire while it was being taken to
a place of safety.
The surface of the Calumet river was
coated with flaming oil> hindering the
work of the fire tugs.
