CONTINUED From Our Last Issuel
The arrival OF the two new visi-
tors. and the consequent check
upon Mr.. Wrinkle and the young
lady with the fur round her boots,
would. In all probability, have
proved a very unpleasant Interrupt
ton to the hilarity of the party
had not the cheerfulness of Mr..
Pickwick, and the good humor OF
the host, been exerted to the very
utmost for the common veal.
Now" said Wardle, what say
you to an hour on the ice? We
shall have plenty OF time"
"Capital!" said Mr.. Benjamin
Allen.
"Prime!" calculated Mr.. Bob
Sawyer.
you skate of course, winkle?"
said Wardle.
"Ye-yes, oh, yes" replied Mr..
Wrinkle. "I-I-am rather out of
practice"
ooh, do skate, Mr.. Wrinkle" said
Arabella. II like to see It SO
much"
"oh, 1t is SO graceful" said an
other young lady.
A third young lady said It was
elegant, and a fourth expressed
her opinion that it was swan
like"
81 shoulS be very happy, I'm
sure" said Mr.. Wrinkle, reddening;
but have no skates"
This objection was at once over
ruled. Trundle had a couple of
pair, whereat Mr.. Wrinkle express
ed exquisite delight. and looked
|exquisitely uncomfortable.
Old Wardle led the way to a
pretty large sheet of ice; and Mr..
Weller, having shoveled and swept
away the snow, Mr.. Bob Sawyer
adjusted his skates with a dexter
ity which to Mr.. Wrinkle was per-
fectly marvellous, and described
circles with his left leg, and cut
figures of eight, to the excessive
satisfaction Of Mr.. Pickwick, Mr..
Tupman, and the ladies.
All this time, Mr.. Wrinkle, with
his fact and hands blue with the
cold, had been forcing a gimlet into
the soles of his feet. and putting
his skates on, with the points be-
hind. and getting the straps into
a very complicated and entangled
state, with the assistance of Mr..
Snodgrass, who knew rather less
about skates than a Hindoo. At
length, however, with the assist
ance of Mr.. Weller, the unfor-
tunate skates were firmly screwed
and buckled on, and Mr.. Wrinkle
was raised to his feet.
Now, then, SIR" said Sam, in an
encouraging toneI "off with you,
and show 'em how to do it."
stop, Sam, stop" said Mr..
Wrinkle, trembling violently, and
hold of Sans arms with
the grasp of drowning man.
."How slippery 1t is, SAM"
mot an uncommon thing upon
Zoe, SIR" replied Mr.. Weller. Hold
up, sir!"
This last observation of Mr..
Weller's bore reference to a
demonstration Mr.. Wrinkle made at
the instant, of frantic desire to
throw his feet in the air, and dash
the back of his head on the ice.

Ball-Playing Sammy

The American ability in this d.
rection has aroused the French
troops to great interest in base
ball. Every day the Sammies are
patiently tutoring their friends in
the game. They have had to start
with first principles Of toss and
catch.
In football the men of the two
armies are more nearly matched.
Today the first of a series of in
ternational games between crack
Poilu team and one made up of
Sammies was arranged.

HAkRIsoN.RUsSELLVlLLE ROAD.
Forest Reserve Link in Route Practi.
calIy Assured-South End 20 Be
Built BY Pope County.

Z. V. Clark, supervisor of the Ozark
National Forest, with headquarters in
Harrison, announces that the money
is now practically assured for the com
pletiOn of the road through the for
est, known as the Harrison-Russell-
vile Highway.
Mr. Clark has just completed an in,
.spection of the route in the company
IDf a government engineer, and states
that a survey of a 40-mile roadway
has begun.
From Russellville to the forest
boundary, the road will be built by
Pope county and private contributions.
This section is about 20 miles in
length and will require two bridges;
the estimated cost of which will be
$2S,5OO. The county judge has agreed
to hard surface the road from Russell
vile to Dover, distance of ten miles,
on account of the heavy traffic which
will make the cost of this ten miles
of road $4,000; while the ten miles
from Dover to the forest boundary
will cost $4,000 with ordinary sur
facing.
Five miles of first class road has
oil du hnnn hui Jtrit in
at a cost of $500 The estimated
cost of completing the road through
the forest is $2S,92O; $4,000 of this has
been promised by local parties.
Newton county has promised to CO.
operate in building the road through
Newton county to Jasper and on to the
Boone county line. The road is good
for about eight miles south of Har
risOn and Boone county will see to
extending the road to her boundary
The government land within the Ozark
National Forest which will be benefit
ed by this proposed road amounts to
approximately $1,000 acres, in Pope
and Newton counties. White red and
black oak, and hickory comprises the
principal merchantable timber on this
government land, and represents a
value of $354,960.
There is great need for giving the
people of the country in general means
for getting into the forests; for no.
where else can one find such opportu-
would make them accessible by auto
mobile or other conveyances, to thou
sands of people, at a relatively small
expenditure of money and time.

Township Boards Will Be Organized
and Fifty Per Cent Basis Will
Be Adhered To.

sent certificates to the assessing Of
ficials of all counties announcing tNat
a so per cent of market value basis
would be used in assessing property
under its jurisdiction, and ordering
that all property in the state be as
sessed on the same basis.
Under an act of the 1917 legislature,
county assessing and taxing officials
must use the basis specified by the
state commission or suffer $500 fines
for each violation Assessments here
tofore have been made on any basis
desired by county officials, and have
ranged from as low as 1876 per cent in
one county to as high as Is per cent
in others.
The new assessment law provides
that the county judge shall appoint
two citizen tax payers, justices of the
peace, where practical, who shall place
fair valuations on the real and per.
soma property of their respective
townships at the time Of the visit of
the county assessor who makes his
itinerary as heretofore. 1t will be the
duty of non-residents, or their agents,
to furnish the assessor with a list of
their property in each township,
specifying the school districts where
in it is located, on or before the first
day of the time advertised for as
sessing taxes in such township, in
which such nonresident shall own
property which list the assessor shall
submit to the board of assessment and
valuation for the township in which
such property is situated

Township members will receive a
compensation of $3.50 per day, the
time of their services being reported
by the assessor.
The equalization board is abolished,
and the assessor is ordered to make
his report in the form of the regular
tax book on which the clerk will later

M. & N. A. RAILROAD WINS SUIT.
Train Crew Is Exhonerated of Blame
in the Upton Ford Wreck and
Road Given Big Damages.

A clean victory for the Missouri and
North Arkansas Railroad was declared
Saturday at Bentonville, when a YER
dict of $1S9,996.58 was rendered by a
jury in circuit court in favor of the
NJ & N. A. railroad against the Kan
sas City Southern railroad for death
claims growing out of a wreck be-
tween a Missouri and North Arkansas
motor car and a Kansas City South
ern freight train near Upton Ford,
Mo, on August 5, 1914.
Fifty persons lost their lives in the
crash and fire which followed and
thhty-fiYe were injured.
The jury was out less than an hour
and rendered a verdict for the full
amount sued. Interest on the claims
brings the judgment up to $4,000
AT time of the accident the investiga-
tions were not fully made and since
hand writing experts and living wit
nesses have disclosed facts that prove
beyond doubt that Operator Hadley
failed to deliver the order placing the
meeting point at Upton Ford between
1st Sc and No. 2O9, the NJ. & N. A.
crew leaving Joplin without any
knowledge of such meeting point and
going to their death due to the negli-
gente of Operator Hadley. The ver-
dict rendered clears beyond doubt the
crew of the M. & N. A. train and
places the responsibility upon Opera
tor Hadley, who has since left Joplin
and is working on the Midland Valley
railroad at Skiatook, Oklahoma.
This verdict clears the record of the
NJ. & N. A. crew consisting of Con-
ductor S. A. Nicholas, of Harrison:
Engineer Herbert Ratliff, of Eureka
Springs, and Brakeman Carl Bradley,
of Leslie, Arkansas. Nicholas was a
widely known railroad man, having
served for years as a conductor and
superintendent on the M. & n. A. and
many patrons of the road would never
give up the idea that some day he
would be cleared of the awful respon.
sibility and will be glad to learn that
at last he was proven innocent.
This was the largest civil suit ever
brought in northwest Arkansas. The
verdict will meet the approval of all
who had reasons to know anything
about the case.
The collision between the Missouri
a. North Arkansas motor car and the
Kansas City Southern freight train
took the greatest toll of lives of any
southwest Missouri tragedy. The mo-
tor car was en- route south from Jop.
lin and collided headlong with the
freight on curve a short distance
east of Upton Ford, ten miles south
of Joplin.
Although the exact number of per.
sons killed never will be known It
was estimated that at least fifty lost
their lives. Immediately after the col
llsion occurred the gasoline tank Of
the motor car exploded hurling flames
over the car, Passengers were unable
to extrlcate themselves and perished
in the flames that destroyed the car
Both the conductor and motorman
of the car were killed and the engineer
Of the freight train died within few
days from his injuries.
All claims from the wreck were set.
tied by the NJ. q N. A., and 1t was to
recover the total amount of these
claims, together with interest, that
the suit was filed against the X. c. S.
