The Blue Streak at Orpheum Tongh

The Blue streak at Orpheum Tom ght
 John H. Barncord's big theatre, the Orpeum is literally running over with big attractions. The flm-fans of Flagstaff have been waiting to get an eye-full of the latest Init" picture that has been turned loose by the William Fox corporation. Here it is and it arrives bearing the title of "The Blue Streak" Those that like the stories of the rugged west that are "chuck full" of thrills and sur prises will now have the opportunity to see the (reeD thing at the Or pheum theatre tonight. With no raise in prices this "sizzler" will be exhibit ed to the Orpheum patrons. It's a picture with new theme and besides having plenty of the breathe catch ing" stuff, it contains a dainty love story that will give a few of the young men in this community brand new idea as to how to engage Dan Cupid to go to work on the heart of his lady fair.

LAMBS HIT SKYLINE

One of the phenominal sales of lambs of the season put Jack LeBar- ron's band to the top of the heap this week. Out of band of 1900 head of lambs he shipped 15O0 head and re- ceived s15.75 for December lambs that averaged 63 pounds in Kansas City. Shorn ewes along with the same shipment brought $11.10. It does seem that the government should get after the sheep men who will sell lambs at that price.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 23, 1917.--Cattle receipts were 10,500 and the market was slow and barely steady, top $12.25. Hog receipts were 12,000, market 15 to 20 lower, top $15.80.s Sheep and lambs today 310O, market 10 higher, woolen lambs $15.- S5, new high record, clipped lambs $12.60.
 Beef and Cattle Receipts Liberal
 Receipts were rather liberal at all markets, due to alarm overthe posi- tion of the government with respect to price fixing, coupled with the high cost of feed. Packers had a slight advantage, the market 25 to 50 cents under week ago even on good to choice steers. Some natives weighing HOO lbs sold at s12.05, but twenty or thirty loads of pulp steers sold at SIP to $1225. Middle class steers sold at $10.50 to S11.50, and light weight common steers to killers at $9.5O to $9.75. Five loads Utah pulp fed steers sold at $11, Utah cows $9.35. About 60 loads of Colorado and Neb- raska pulp steers sold at SIPS to $12.25, pulp cows and bulls each up to $10. Five cars of mixed quaran- tine cattle included cows up to $9.50, steers $7.50 to $9.75, calves $7.50 to s11, bulls s7.50 to SS.25, everything light weight and only fair to good. Best native cows went up to $10.50, veals S13.25, bulls $10.25.
 Stockers and Feeders Decline
 Sales today were steady with the decline of Is to 35 cents effective last half of last week. Stock steers sold at $8 to 10.75 and feeding steers at $9.50 to $11.40, a four car drove bringing the latter price, highest on record, to an Illinois man. Stock steers at S8.35 on Saturday, 700 lbs average, were an attractive purchase by an Iowa man. Breeding heifers and cows sell at S7.00 to s10.50, about S1.00 lower than 10 days ago.
 Hogs Gong at $11.S0
 Continued liberal receipts at Chi. cago spread weakness around the market circle, although prices here or best hogs are practically as high as in Chicago, top here today s11.s0 be, ing only nickel under Chicago. Best medium weights sell 10 cents under best heavy weights, and lights are 2E cents farther down the line, $15.7( and $15.45, respectively, today. 4 large number of middle and low class light hogs sell down around $15, some a quarter more, some quarter less This item causes a rather wide spread in the range of bulk sales here, a compared with markets where thu hogs received are more even, of heav fer and better average finish.
 Sheep and Lambs Still Firm
 The only department of the liv' stock trade to show firm prices is thu sheep house, where light receipts keel buyers on the defensive. Sales wer, 10 higher today, yearling lambs iron Northern Colorado at $15.75, clippe' lambs up to $12.60, ewes worth SIS some 40 ID brusher Angoras today a $9, new high price in that class Light receipts and higher prices ar forecasted. ..

 "Yes," he replied. q am always carried away by music"
 She flew to the piano and ylaped several airs. Then she turned and looked at him.

WILL SHIP SHEEP NORTH

Jack LeBarron and son Walter left Tuesday evening for Phoenix, where they will make arrangements to ship their sheep to northern summer rang es rather than to take any chances on driving them up over the trails marked out by the government. The late spring weather has made it al- most impossible to bring sheep up to northern ranges in the time limit spe- cifed. It is understood that many other sheepmen will also ship their sheep north this year instead of at- tempting to trail them up as has been usual in other years.

Little Rock, March 26..The 1917
meeting of the Arkansas Press asso-
citation will be held in Fort Smith
21-23, to be followed by an excursion
to be arranged later. This was de-
cided at meeting of the executive

today.
At a, conference between represen-
tatives of the Little Rock Press club
and the Arkansas Press association.
the mayors of Little Rock and Hot
Springs, officers of the Hot Springs

Rock board of commerce, and repre-
sentatives of the railroads, it was de-
cided to invite the 1918 meeting OF
the National Editorial association to

The only, question raised was that o.
finances, and it was the opinion of al
that, the necessary funds could be
raised.

SO that the interested citizens must
secure an official copy of the act, or
wait until the acts are printed, before
they will know what law they are
supposed to be observing.
Put Salons on Salary.
Undoubtedly, there will be a move
ment to place the members of the leg
islature on salary, with an unre-
stricted term. 1t is true this propo-
sition was once voted down by the
people, but it is believed that a sys
tenn worked out more deliberately by
the representatives OF the people
would meet with greater favor. It IS
unlikely that. extremists will have
suggestions for the abolition of the
Legislature and the substitution of 2
commission will NEE. with little
favor. The convention, however, MAJ
be expected to place greater restric.
tons upon local and special legisla-
tong, by providing that the greater
quantity Of these local matters be re-
ferred to the county courts, commits
sions, or other authorities for settle
ment.
1t will probably be demanded that
the members of the general assembly
be placed on a salary of $1,000 or
some other fixed an adequate amour.
for the two-year term, with no limit
except probable sixty-day minimum
for service. Thiapwould enable the
legislature to remain in session as
long as might be necessary to trans
act the business required, and they
might be called back in extra ses-
sion at any time without extra cost
to the state, except for mileage and
contingent expense. 1t is believed this
proposition would be received with
favor.

DISCUSS
PROVISIONS OF
CONSTITUTION
Change in Legislative sys-

Local Legislation. /,
tBy Clio Harper)

F. Little Rock, March 27.-Already
there is beginning a general discus
sion of questions that are to be con-
sidered at the constitutional conven-
ton next November. The indica-
composed of the best minds in the
various counties. and the personnel
of the candidates announced is aver
aging high, and justifying the pre-
dictions of the convention sponsors
| who insisted that the best men would
offer.
Attorney General Arbuckle has, re-
lieved the worry of some who had
"raised the point of order" that mem
bers of the 41st general assembly
could not become candidates for dele
gates to the convention. He holds
that they do not come under the con-
stitutional inhibition against airy
senator or representative being ap-
pointed or elected to any civil office
under the state for the term for which
he was elected. He CONSTITUTES the
term "any civil office under the state"
not to include delegates to the consti-
tutional convention.

bers to continue in the race, including
Representatives Hardage, Wagone..,
Johnson, Babb, Choatc, Adams and
others.
1t has been DEFINITELY decided that
the women will not be qualified TO
vote in the convention primaries on
April IA. The law giving them the
primary franchise is not effective
until June s. 1t is probable that the
| first votes cast by Little Rock women
| will be in the municipal primaries to
be held next December. Many are
paying their poll taxes here and all
over the state. It is expected that it
will be several years before they vote
! in sufficiently large numbers to be-
| come balance of power in Arkansas
| elections, but already it is being con-
clusively proven that the women will
| vote when given a chance.
| Extend Legislative Term.
One, of the questions that will come
up for serious consider alton will pe
that of change in the legislative
/, system. It is admitted by nearly
everybody that the present system of
60 days limited sessions has been a
mistake since it does not give suf-
ficient time for proper deliberation
in any of the measures adopted.
Jokers easily creep into bills that are
frequently not read even by the men,
bers requested to introduce them.
"Oh, it's only a local bill affecting So
and-So county," is all the information
that member ordinarily asks to
vote for BILL. There are instances
of bills. that have been passed in this
manner affecting property rights
amounting to millions OF dollars, with
the statement that it "is only little
local bill"
Another instances came to hgnt
last week. in county up the Fort
Smith road. A road district bill had
been passed, affecting large section
of the county. 1t was known that
it became effective early this month
but one one else seemed to know
anything about it.. The representa-.
