From w. w. strother.

Dear Mr.. Editor: The article of
last weeks REGISTER from Mr.. Stith
of Hadley, Missouri, was good as far
as it went, but where it stopped, it
left me in the wrong plaes nlSn tic
Public School District and all the
Business Men and many others at
Des Arc.
First, after the property was bought
in it developed that the men who
were running the Nazarene College,
knew, as | did, that the Nazarene
church was not incorporated, and
therefore, had no charter. This being
the fact, there was no one to deed the
property to. I refused to turn the
property to them until their General
Superintendent got on the grounds
and assured the people that the
church would make the school go.
Another point was raised by Mr..
Stith in which he said two lawyers had
told him the Nazarene Church could
hold the furniture and fixtures they
had put in the school since they sign
ed contract with the original Board
of Trustees, that was handling the
school under the original charter, that
the Holiness Association people ha d
After Mr.. Stith's statement told him
and G. w. Wallis that L. L. White and
4 would not help take up the several
notes held by the bank of Des Arc if
the church could come in and take
the stuff the notes was given for. 1t
was our understanding the mortgage
covered the whole thing and we would
help pay the debts on the furniture
and leave the property in shape to
carry on the school, While we had
agreed to held take care of the note 8,
vet when the fact was made plain
that we were not getting value re-
ceived we turned it over to Messrs
Stith and Wallis, and the church car
handle it to suit themselves.
I offered to Mr.. Stith and Wallis
that if they would relieve L. L..White
and myself of our part of the 1880 90
and our expenses we would step out
and turn the whole thing over tc
them, and they refused. And before
Mr.. Stith left Des Arc he and MIR
Wallis called me to one side and told
me to try to close deal with the Des
Arc Public School and sell them the
property, as the school election was
near, and as we had told the church
folks we would not lose an oppor'
tunity of selling the property. So
instead OF me coming back to Freder.
icktown that day, ! stayed over ant
went to every business man / coult
see and a lot ofcitizens and told then
to get busy If they wanted the prop
erty, and it met the hearty approva
OF every mani met except two.
Now should have written a lettel
for the REGISTER as soon as I came
home, but the President Of the Con
soldated Store & Mfg. Co., Lin Girls
ham, got his hand scratched in crank
ing his machine and took blood
poison, and ! was the choice of hin
and his family to stay with him ant
care for him, as he preferred staying
at home to going to st. Louis. Hav,

LAST mATANUsKA COAL CLAIM
 SETTLED.

The last of the coal claims located
 in the Matanuska valley, before the
 withdrawal of the lands for the Gnu
 zach National Forest Reserve in 1906, and which has been under contro-
 versy in the land office of the govern ment, has finally been settled, and
 the location cleared from the re cords.
 The secretary of the interior has af- | firmed the decision of the officers of
 the Juneau land office. rejecting the
 application of the Matanuska Coal
 Mining and Development Company, for a group of ten coal claims, com monly known as the Munley group. These are located on the south side of the Matanuska field The only charges made against these claims
 was the failure of the locators to open and develop a coal mine on the claims
 prior to the withdrawal of the lands | in 1906 from the forest reserve. The Juneau land office found these charges were substantiated by the evidence, and their decision has been upheld by both the commissioner of the general land office and the sec
 retary of the interior No money was
 ever paid to the government on these applications.

ALASKANS COULD CLEAN THE
 BANDITS

"One thousand sharpshooters can Mexico It is in my judgment that a body of northerners of this size could whip Villa and his bandits at their own game-guerilla warfare"
 This statement was made by Gov ernor J. F. A. Strong, of Alaska, in Seattle, says the Seattle Times in a recent issue Governor Strong, who has often had occasion to use the business end of rifle, is an earnest advocate of preparedness, and is now on his way to Washington, where he will discuss with administrative off cials the formation of militia com pany in the north. On his recommen- dation a bill, with this end in view, has been introduced in Congress.
 "The class of men I have in view" he said, "are used to hardship; they are courageous and self reliant they have abundant endurance and initia- tive. They are the men who. year in and year out. go into the wilderness with only a rifle, a little salt, and a few pounds of flour, and live off the country.
 Men of this type are the kind of soldiers that the United States needs in the expedition in which this coun- try is now engaged They would ac- quit themselves just as creditably as did the Australians at Gallipoli
 These northern prospectors and frontiersmen are the salt of the earth They are not, to be sure, silk stock inged brigade, but courage and forti- tude abide everlastingly in their hearts. They accept privation and hardship as part of the days work. They are untiring in their energy, their endurance is boundIess. These are the type of men who conquered the great west-the restless, deter mined spirits who are always in the vanguard of coming civilization.
 s"A call to arms would bring them from the hills by hundreds. Some of them are trained soldiers. who served in the Philippines and Cuban cam paigns. They can all shoot and live in inhospitable environments, where city bred men would starye to death. Perhaps they would not make good men to send into a warfare such as is being conducted in Europe. but in campaign like that in Mexico they would be invaluable"
 Governor Strong said there Is a great deal of enthusiasm for the ere ation of a national guard in Alaska, but no action towards its formation can be taken until the necessary law has been passed by Congress. He has recently been in communication with the war department and with James Wickersham. Alaskan delegate in Con gress, and will urge it personally when he reaches Washington. !

careless. I never knew it TO fail"
OF course il was Peter Rabbit
and you remember he did have
something on his mind. He was
trying to ind the new home OF
winsome Biuebird. Black Pussy
watched him as he hoped about
through the Old Orchard. looking
up In the trees for glimpse OF the
beautiful blue coat OF winsome
Bluebird. She saw that Peter was
60 interested In what he was doing
that for once he had forgotten 10
watch out for danger. Swiftly and
silently Black Pussy stole across TO
the stone wall on the edge OF the
Old Orchard. Carefully she raised
her head and peeped over. the tip OF
her black tail twitching with eager
ness. Peter was hopping about In
the most careless way.
Black Pussy crept over the wall.
and then. making herself a. dat as
possible. crawled swiftly behind a
tree and lay down In the grass.
Nearer came Peter. and nearer.
Only the tip OF Black Pussy's tail
moved. A hard, cruel light grew
IN her yellow eyes Nearer came
Peter. and nearer. Careless Peter
He knew that tho Old Orchard was

me. dear me. what . dreadful thing
Il 10 10 forget! Here was Peter let
ting his curiosity lead him straight
into danger and forgetting to even
watch out. And there was no one
abUut to give him warning. Another
hop would bring him within q single
jump Of Black Pussy.
Right then she made q mistake,
h mistake which ether people often
maize. She let eagerness overcome
patience. Yss, cir. that II what shs
did. Instead Of waiting for Pstez
| to make that next hop she crept
forward just . few steps. and then.
! just ~ she prepared to spring ou
him, Peter saw her. Right then and
there there was q lot Of jumping.
To begin with, Peters heart jumped
right mp in his mouth Anyway, he
thought It did. Peter himself jump
ed. jumped with all the strength OF
those long hind legs Of his. which.
you know. are meant for jumping.
And Black Pussy jumped. 1t was a
regular jumping match. and Peters
lifs was the prize for which they
were jumping For Just q wee bit
OF time. as long as II would take
you to count one. II was q question
which would win. Peter or Black
Pussy.
