A LITTLE FARM ON

A LITTLE FARM ON
 THE BIG MAUMELLE
 Last April there appeared in The Pulaskian an advertisemnt of an eight acre farm for sale, on the Big Mau- melle. six miles west of Roland. l told MT. |. W. Stewart, the owner, that he should he glad that it did not sell figure that the forty-three acres of bot tom land including one-half mile of the Big Maumelle, deep buffalo water, is worth $4,300 and that the upland with the orchard and improvement is worth $f,700 more, making a total of $6,000, the place is easily worth.
 As I value good water above good land, shall describe his water first.
 First there is a well of the best tasting and coldest water I ever drank After drinking few dippers of this water on hot day you begin to wonder what makes it taste so good and cold. As you think of it you real ize there is delicate flavor remain ing in your mouth that reminds you of the taste left by some good drink you have bought at soda fountain and at last you discern that the water has just enough iron in it to give it the right flavor.
 At the southwest corner of his field is a branch of living water It prob ably is not ever one hundred yards long. but it runs all the year round The branch heads up in the Still House Branch Mountains and is the mouth Of the Still House Branch. Above the farm it runs, but sinks into the earth before it reaches the road and rises again near the corner of the field. This little branch was alive with perch.
 Then there is the one-half mile of the Big Maumelle which is on this land, a wide deep lake or river from 100 to 150 feet wide The buffalo are now about ready to float and today being a real hot day fish could be seen rising to the surface MT Stewart says there are many fish in there larg- CT than I and that he has counted as many as 200 fish floating'i in it at one time. It is a pretty we'll watered place isn't it and big fish crop is q good crop is 1t not?
 There are a few rocks on it. too. Great big rocks right on top of the ground. Part of them have been haul ed off, but there are several car loads piled up on some of the land. Only about ten acres of 1t is rocky and MT. Stewart says he would not sell the rock and allow them hauled off the place. He has a use for them. Down near the river are few washes and gullies. He uses the rock to build dams or revetments across them and in short time they are filled to the top with good rich soil. One, that he called my attention to was seventy five feet wide and fifteen feet deep.
 Under some ten acres or more of this land is bed of rock which looks more like iron than rock, It is a wa far form Q fiop and ic nf no Valltp hu.

ENeLANp's DILEMMA

Would to God that England had
more men like Lloyd George and
Lord NortheIiffe, instead Of the
Tory element such az Asquith and
others who insist that they can win
the war by way Of the English red
tape route. These men ought to
know az we'll as George and North
eliffe that England and France are
at the mercy Of the central powers
without the help Of the United States.
We are in this war to win for our
own salvation In the future, and win
we will, although it may take years
to accomplish our purpose, and by 20
doing we must save with US England
and France, the only two other ma
tions Of the earth whose flags have
carried enlightenment and christian
ity wherever they have been unfurI-
ed. EnoIand's antediluvian ideas

MUST CULTIVATE MORE LAND

Should this war last a number Of
years longer the food situation in
the world would become alarming,
and unless more acreage is cuItivat-
cd actual starvation will seize many
parts.
In every section where the war
has been wa9ed desolation and ruin
Of soil have followed In ito wake.
The fertile country Of northern
France has been ruined by the de-.
nudino Of its soil and the destruction
Of all vegetation by artillery fire Of
immense guns. Roumania, the once
boasted wheat country Of Europe has
been destroyed, a. we'll AZ that Of
Serbia. The once prolific country Of
northern Italy 10 now being devastat-
ID and lain waste by powerful arm
les and all this ruin confirms the
fact that America must piow and
plant to a greater extent than be.
fore to supply the necessities Of life
that ward off starvation.
There are millions Of acres Of un.
cultivated land In Colorado and 9TH
er western states that should next
season be brought into fruitase to
supply Europe's deficiency caused by
the war. The government should al
low its millions Of idle acres to be
cultivated free Of charge for the
period Of the war, and the many fer
tile acres Of Colorado school Iands
should be donated for the same pur
pose.
II America 10 to win this war she
must not only assist England ane

be done by laying plans now to plan

HOW TO ESCAPE DRAFT

A person who, we suspect, is annoyed by the prospect of enforced military duty pens the following pathetic inquiry:
 Portland, May T.-To the Editor Will you please let me know through the col umns of the Oregonian if there is any proc ess by which an American citizen can Volun- tariy relinquish his citizenship without swearing allegiance to another naton? "A MAN WITH TOO MUCH COUNTRY"
 We hasten to assure our distraught cor respondent that there is. Conviction of fel- ony automatically divests one of the prac- tical rights of citizenship and they can be restored only by the governor.
 Moreover, it insures for one board and lodging in a place whre one is not subject to military duty and where one hears little of those acts of the nation which may be offensive to him. Withel, the penitentlary is considered an ideal place of retirement for man with too much country.
 If one is tender er-hearted he can still find way to commit felony without materially injuring a fellow-man. The correspondent IS advised to notify the police that he in tends to burglarize certain house at a certain hour and keep the appointment Portland Oregonian.

WICKERSHAE AND STRONG
 FOUGHT CONFIRMATION
 OF JUDGE X. W. JENNINGS

An explanation of the fight being made by the Juneau Empire against the re appointment of Governor Strong Is found in dispatch to the Fairbanks News-Mner dated Juneau, June 9, which is as follows,
 Dispatches from Washington say the scnate unanimously confirmed the n0mlna- tion of Judge Robert W. Iennlngs after ap- proval by the judiciary committee following an exhaustive examination. The conhrma- ton was originally held up al the request cf Governor J. I. 4. Strong, who wired to senators and then turned the fight over to former Delegate Wicl,erSham.
 Judge Wickcrsham Cn May 2G made a thvee-hour speech against the confirmation, end submitted an elaborate brief, ba5lng his objection on Jennings decision in the dele gate contest He declared Jennings unfair, unjust, collusive, unconscionable and cor rupt.
 Tn the course of his speech he attacked the constitutionality of the Alaska election law, saying he had purposely framed the territorial government measure that the legislature could not change the election methods.
 "In spite of the Strong and Wickersham objections, the senate committee and senate acted unanimously in favor of Jennings"

GOOD WORK OF VOLUNTEERS
 SAVES TOWN OF DISCOVERY

A fire at Uotilla's saloon and restaurant at Discovery, Otter. on Tuesday last, caused damage estimated at between $500 and S40O and threatened for time to wipe the little mining town out of existence.
 With strong wind blowing, fire was dis- covered in the roof of the building. The alarm was quickly given and volunteer fire fighters were soon on the scene The dredge force were released to help in fighting the fire, and bucket brigade formed quickly and brought up water from the creek. Tie fremen were unable to make any headway because of the heavy wind, when suddenly it shifted and the building was quickly soaked with water,
 The sudden change of wind Is sand to have been the only thing that made possible the saving of the town

APPEAL FOR BELCIANS
 MEETS READY RESPONSE
 FROM PEOPLE OF DISTRICT

Probably no appeal eyer nude to the generosity of the people of the Iditarod dis trict has had such profound effect as that contained in last weeks issue of The Pioneer in behalf of the starving children of Bel gium. The matter has been topic of gen erai conversation, and it appears to have appealed to everyone As result there have been numerous inquiries as to what steps were being taken to raise a fund for this purpose and as to who would take charge of it.
 It may be stated that no organization has been formed here, but that arrangements have been made so that those desiring to send contributions for this worthy cause may do so with the minimum of trouble
 Dick Button Will Receive Funds
 R. C. Button, cashier of the Miners < Merchants Bank of this city, has kindly consented to act as treasurer of the relief fund, and to forward the same to the treas urer Ot the Rocky Mountain Hoover fuHd for Relief in Belgium. He has posted a subscription paper at the bank, on which already appear numerous names represent ing a considerable sum, and arrangements have been made to post similar subscription lists at the creek towns, It would, of course, help the fund along if some person or persons who could spare the time would circulate these lists but 1t is believed that the mere announcement that they can be found at some given place will be sufficient notice to the charit&bly inclined to help in this stupendous work of humanity by con tributing toward it.
 The subscription lists will be published later in The Pioneer.
