PREDICT OIL SOON
 AT RUSSfLLY|LLE

The drill at Gravel Hill has con- tinued steadily the past week, inter est has grown from day to day and announcement that the Kibler sand has been struck is now hourly ex. pected, according to the Courier Dem ocrat. Many leases have changed hands during the week, and lease, holders who do not care to sell are having their leases abstracted and titles perfected.
 The drill has been in a very hard sand formation for a week and is now to a depth of about 2,320 feet. Geolo- gists have estimated the Kibler sand in this section at 2,300 to 3,350 feet Drillings now show oil indications and those interested in the well are in a state of eager expectancy. T. C Lockwood of Oklahoma, one of the largest stockholders in the drilling or ganzation. arrived yesterday after noon, and his partner has been on the ground for several days, watching de velopments.

The bill first referred to in the above dispatch grants more specific authority to the county judge for the adjustment of road benefits during the life of the districts concerned, which are the Conway and Damascus, Conway and Vilonia and the Conway and Palarm districts. Under the measure, the county judge will be en- powered to increase assessments on property where improvements have been made. The increase in taxation thus gained would be offset the fol- lowing year by decreases on all prop erty in the districts through de- crease in the rate of taxation.
 The bill regulating regular work on the county roads, extends the authori- ty of the county judge in certain phas- es of road work, and was framed to facilitate road working It also pro- vides some payment of the personal expenses of the county judge incurred in the discharge of his duties as road commissioner.

BIG ACREAGE CUT
 IN CONWAY COUNTY

Morrilton, Feb. 4.-Disregarding their former pledges to reduce their cotton acreage to one-third of last years crop, delegates to the Conway county convention of farmers, held at the courthouse Tuesday afternoon went further in their plans of reduc- tion by agreeing to cut the cotton crop this ytar to one-third of the tillable soil. This plan would result in reduction of about 50 per cent. while the other plan, to cut the acre age to one-third of last years crop would mean a reduction of only 33 Ia per cent. By such reductions it is proposed that more attention be given to the raising of food and feed crops.
 Probably one of the most effective inducements to the farmers to raise home products was the experience of John Stobaugh, a farmer living in the county. As the result of raising everything needed for home consump- tion, MT. Stobaugh said he has bought only one bucket of lard in 20 years. Other speakers included R. D. Earl q. J. Scroggin and J. l.. Phillips: county farm demonstrator.
 To carry out the plans of reducing the cotton acreage in the county, an, other meeting of the delegates will be held March l. A meeting next Sat urday will be held for the purpose ot effecting an organization among strawberry and fruit growers. Efforts will be made to secure an expert hor- ticulturist to give suggestions as tc the poper care of fruit trees.

GOOD ROADS.

It has been evident for the last
 six months that road building in many places in our state has been done too expensively and without regard to all the people interested. We believe .n good roads and have advocated road laws and improvements for 25 vars, but we have capitally doubted the wisdom of the methods employed in the last two years to secure them. When 1t was announced that during the next five years our state would spend a hundred million dollars on new roads we were proud of our pro- gress. Now we griove because of the unbusinesslike plans and. reckless ex- penditure of money The report of the Pulaski county grand jury, which has for three months made careful study the situation, is enough to bring the blush of shame. Everything possible should be done by courts, com missioners, and legislature to reme- dy the grievous wrongs which are be- ing perpetrated. If taxes and inn provement assessments are further in- creased in our state the effect will al- most be confiscation of real estate. The good thing improperly handled may bring disaster Contracts with any taint of illegality should be ter minated. Extravagant fees should be eliminated. High bids should be re- jected. New work should not start while costs are unreasonable. We have roaditis, and need rest.-Ar- kansas Methodist.

Solves Grievance

According to MT. Hawkesworth, this matter of one educational syS tenn in Alaska will go a long way to- ward solving the native problem in the Territory. It is the one princi. pal grievance the native people now have, he said. The Bureau Of Edu- cation, he reiterated, comedies that the natives have an education coming to them and will always see that they get it and he thinks it should be re- ceived through the schools of the Territory. He says that native child ren when assimilated with white children make rapid progress in their studies, that the necessity for saEi. tary homes so that they can attend those schools, stimulates their par ents to emulate the white people in their home life and that the whole moral tone of the native race re- ceives an uplift.
 Asked how natives who claim that they have to live out of the cities can have their children educated. Mr. Hawkesworth said that there were two methods open, either send ing the native children to the native school at Chemewah, Oregon, or to the Sheldon Jackson school at Stka where the Government boards them. if necessary

School Law Cited

MT. Hawkesworth met the common objection to the native children on account of their irregular attend. ance by saying that in cases such as these the Alaska Compulsory School Law would be used and the penalties enforced to the utmost. Only in this way, according to Mir. HaWkesworth, could the child be as sured of an education.
 Summing the whole matter up, Mir. Hawkesworth said that the plan contemplates elimination of Bureau of Education schools in places where the Territorial schools and Nelson schools were in operation, with the natives attending the schools on all even footing with white children if their parents had severed their tribal relations and were living in sanitary homes. This would act as a lever to secure Federal funds that would be diverted from the Bureau Of Edu. cation to the Territory for the sup port Of the schools of the Territory, he said
 While at Wrangell few days ago MT. Hawkesworth had a conference Of several hours with Louis Paul, the leader of the Alaska Native Bro therhood. Mir. Paul is a native, a lawyer and a leader among his peo ple' and has made it an issue that there should be no distinction in me races and he said some hard things against the Bureau for it's policy in having schools for natives only. After the conference, all the misunderstanding had disappeared, and in the future, according to MT. Hawkesworth, the Alaska Native Bro therhood and the United States Bu- reau of Education would be found to be closely cooperating in the matter oi education. the Brotherhood seeing that the children were worthy to at tend the schools of the Territory and the Bureau seeing that none were deprived of educational facili. ties.

It has been accused of wishing to segregatc the native people and to keep them from being on a plane with the whites. The contrary. however, is the case, and from now OF, the policy Cf the Bureau will be to eliminate the Blu reau of Education schools where there are other means of education.
 Will Take Time
 We do not expect that the work of assimilation will be a matter of months or of few years but ip time there will be no Bureau schools in the Territory of Alaska where there are other means of education.
