LITTLE TO FENCE
 3,OOO-ACRt RANCH

Col. J. E. Little, the well-known Arkansas river planter, is preparing 3,000-acre stock ranch on lands recently acquired by him in Pine Mountain and Danley townships. The lands are low-priced sut-over timber lands, most of which are not tillable, but are fine range and MT. Little thinks the acreage will SUD- port 500 to GOO head of cattle dur ing eight or nine months of the year. He is now having the land fenced, and about 10 or 12 miles of four strand hog proof barbed wire fenc- ing will be erected. A dipping vat will also be constructed on the ranch and two competent men will, be em- ployed as foremen to take charge of the cattle. During the months when grazing is impossible MT. Little plans to feed the cattle from feed stuff produced on his big river plan tation. He has been gradually in- creasing his stock-growing interests for several years and finding it a paying proposition is now planning to branch out on a more extensive scale than any other stock grower in this section of Arkansas.

CREATES COUNTY
 HEALTH OFFICER HARDY BILL IS PASSED
Senate RecOnsiders Vote ny Which Repeal of Actuarial Bureau Law
 Failed to Pass.
specia. to the Log Cabin penocr.t

specia, to the Log Cabin Denocr.t Little Rock, Feb. 23.-The house today passed the bill introduced by Representative H. B. Hardy ot Faulkner county, chairman of the house committee on public health providing for the creation of the po- sition of county health officer.
 The senate passed the bill appro- priating $20,000 to defend suits filed in the federal courts by the state against the railroad companies.
 The vote by which the bill to re- peal the law establishing the state actuarial bureau failed to pass Thurs day was reconsidered in the senate this morning, but the proponents of the bill were unable to secure a roll call upon it's passage today and it was made special order for Mon- day. On both questions the vote in the senate was IS to IA.
 An interesting contest was had in the house yesterday over the Davies bill to permit cities of more than 10000 population to vote on the question of Sunday baseball. The bill was defeated by a vote of 2S to 57, despite the fact that it had been signed by 30 members.
 The previous question was ordered when the bill was called up, and only half an hour devoted to the discus sion. MT. Burnett of Polk and Mir. Doyle led the opposition.
 MT. Doyle argued that the legisla- ture might as well permit saloons or horseracing in the cities, and that the bill should be voted down if the state is to be cleaned up morally Mir. Johnson presented a petition signed by 59 citizens of Greenwood protesting against the passage of the bill.
 Speeches for the bill were made by Representative Josephs of Mil Ter, Emerson of Van Buren, Trawick of Pulaski and Norfleet of St. Fran cis, who declared that whenever the right of a petition or of franchise is denied any unit of our government the spirit of Jeffersonian Democracy is violated.
 Did you violate the spirit of Jef- fersonian Democracy when you voted for the bone dry bill" asked MT. Craig of Greene.
 q think I did, my friend" replied Mr. Norfeet, "but it was done under pressure" which was greeted with laughter.
