BOONE coUNTYS PEACH CROP.
The Most Profitable In County's
History, Bringing Over Thirty
Thousand Dollars.

Peach shipments for the Harrison
section practically close this week,
the year being the most profitable in
its history. Besides heavy express
shipments throughout the season forty
full cars were marketed nearly all Of
these were sold on the ground to
buyers who came here and prepared
them for market, and it is said that
they averaged the grower $500 per
car net, or about $4,000 for the pro-
duct of less than a dozen orchards.
1t is also reported that extensive can
ming has been the rule throughout the
county, and that an abundance has
been reserved for home use. n
Last year this same territory ship
ped but eleven cars, and these were
sold at prices considerably less than
current now.
Two years ago 251 cars were ship
ped, practically all of which were con-
signed to commission men in Chicago
and st. Louis. Not only were the or
chardistS robbed of their entire re
turns, but in nearly every case they
were called on to pay the freight on
their shipments. 1t was one OF the
meanest and most wholesale r0bberies
on record, and as result Of the ac-
tivities of several of our local ship,
pers in the matter nine commission
merchants are now in the penitentiary.

OUR COUNTY FINANCES.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the Annual Financial statement
of Boone county, prepared by County
Clerk Claude Crumpler, and covering
a period of one year. from July, 1916,
to July 1917.
During that period ordinary county
receipts and disbursements have ag-
gregated $23,37032 A payment of
$4,000 was made on the new Jail;
$4,000 transferred to the Poor Farm
fund, and $500 to the general road
fund, for the purchase of the road ma
chinery and expense of its operation.
The general road fund shows an
expenditure of approximately s3,456,
with $4,705 still on hand. In the spe-
cial road districts about $3.50 has
been expended and $6,542 remains in
the treasury According to these fig
ures we have spent last year on our
roads some $12,406 and have nearly
as much in the treasury for the COM
ing year. A thousand dollars a month
ought to make some showing on the
roads of Boone county.
AS usual the school funds constitute
or largest expenditure. Our school
disbursements have aggregated over
forty thousand dollars, and now, at
the beginning of the new school year
we have $26,37O.62 in the treasury,
over 5000 more than we had last year

near future Washington county will
forfeit state and federal and privi-

ARKANSAS MINING NEWS.
>>>>>>>>>>>

The following are the ore shipments
for the week OF August 8:
PINDALL.
j. C. Shepherd Mining Co------7i.000
Lucky Dog Mining Co----------S0,0 900
The Lucky Dog Mining Company
is installing a Chats Elevator and
opening up larger face OF ore, and in
the near future will operate the mill
in three eght-hour shifts
Ike Kilgore, working a lead mine
near Ponca, has secured a three year
lease upon the whole 100 acres and
as fast as the others that have leases
work out their time he takes over the
ground. Mr.. Kilgore will commence
erecting a mill upon the property a.
once, having purchased a mill in JOp-
lin. This will open up large tonnage
Of lead as he already has out enough
mill ore to run the mill three shifts
a day for eighteen months or more,
and now has out a car of free ore that
he will haul out as he hauls the ma
chinery into the mine.
This property has four large moth
er lOdes that go clear through the prop
erty and Mr.. Kilgore has his ground
well opened up and blocked out and
will be able to get out a great deal
Of free ore while working the ground
for the mill
Adjoining leases on the same prop
erty that will eventually be turned
over to Kilgore are the Minicus and
Villines lease which is proving an
immense body of free lead and mill
ore, having a tunnel and shaft into
fine ore.
Young and Hamilton's lease which
was one of the last to start working,
is in fine body of free lead and pro-
ducing a good tonnage.
Mr. Whitley, who has sunk a shaft
into a good body Of free lead and mill
ore, and as his time is very short, Mr..
Kilgore will soon take over the lease.
This will give the mill four fine runs
of lead to work from and will keep il
busy three shifts a day cleaning up
ha hn chf
free ore.
This has been one of the best pay
ing properties in the Arkansas dis
trict. Up to short time ago there
were eleven leases in operation, seven
working carbonate and four lead, but
as the carbonate leases time are out
the owners refused 20 renew them,
prefering to turn the whole tract over
to MIR. Kigore so that he could oper-
ate it as strictly lead mine and
erect a large mill for the working of
the mill run ores.
The new State Highway from Har-
rison to Ponca and Boxley is surveyed
right through this property and will
enable them to haul their output cas-
ier than heretofore.
The Confederate Mining Company is
now hauling out their oil engines for
the large mill they are erecting on
their mine at Cave creek.

VACCINATION OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Dear Editor Times:

Dear Edlt0r Times,
SO many people have inquired OF me
as to the recent rule for vaccination in
our public schools that | promised a
number that | would investigate the
matter and ask the courtesy OF your
columns for public information.
The order made by the State Board
of Health reads as follows:
mo person shall be entered as a
teacher, employee or pupil in a public
or private school in this state without
having first presented to the principal
in charge or the proper authorities, a
certificate from a licensed and compe.
tent physician Of this state certifying
that the said teacher, employee or
pupil has been successfully vaccina
ted, or in lieu Of a certificate Of sue.
cessful vaccination, a certificate certi-
flying a recent vaccination done in a
proper manner by a competent physi-
clan, or a certificate showing immu-
nifty from having had smallpox"
Under date Of August 11th, the State
Board of Health wrote me as follows:
Replying to your recent communi-
cation relative to the compulsory vac
cination order beg to advise that this
order applies to all schools in this
state, both rural and urban, public
and private, white and colored. The
order does not become effective until
September |. Therefore schools open.
ing after that date will be subject to
this order and the teachers will be
held responsible for matriculating pp-
pills who do not present a certificate
stating that they have been formerly
successfully vaccinated; that they
have had smallpox or that they have
been recently vaccinated, the certifi-
| cate to be signed by licensed physi-
clan. Any licensed physician may is
I sue this certificate. There will be no
discrimination in the enforcement Of
this order"
"The War Council, in Washington,
is urging that this order be complied
with by every patriotic citizen, and il
we had the machinery to enforce it, it
would be made to apply to every indi-
vidual in the state. AS the school,
| however, constitutes the focal center
from which originates most of our
epidemics and as the children BECOME
immune against smallpox it will not be
many generations before all the adults
will eventually be yaccinated anyway,
and permanent immunization rendered
to the entire state against smallpox.
1t is not only a preventive measure,
that should appeal to the individual,
but is is an economical measure, as
smallpox has been prevalent in this
state for the past year or more.
There are several restricted epidem-
les in the state now. Some cases are
very severe, a few daths have occurred
and a few cases of blindness. 1t is q
patriotic duty to assist in the enforce
ment Of this order at this time TIE
Supreme Court Of the State has up
held the authority of the State Board
Of Health to promulgate rules and
regulations affecting public health in
the State"
The order together with the explana-
ton given in their letter is perhaps
as clear as any comment of my own
could make it.
Respectfully,
LLOYD SHOUSE,
County Attorney
