ARKANSAS DILAPIDATED

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. 25.-
Arkansas may be backward in many
ways, but its political leaders be-
lieve in building good roads. There
have been many puns on Arkansas,
but this state is lifting itself out of
the mud, and especially is it build
ing great trunk highways which
make more accessible the beautiful
Ozarks and this National Park
where thousands journey yearly
for medical treatment.
The legislature Of Arkansas as
sembled this week in special session
to appropriate money to put the
state more thoroughly behind . sys-
tematic road program. There is
practically > paved or graveled road
from north to south and the same
kind of roads stretch from east to
west. It is possible to journey on q
fine road from Little Rock to Mem
phis and from the Missouri line to
Texarkana where the boundary line
between Arkansas and Texas runs
through the center Of the postoffice,
You buy your stamps on the
Arkansas side Of the postoffice, but

partment for the joint city, but they
have two mayors, two police forces

agencies.

WORK PLEASED

DOWN IN SOUTH
Expresses Optimism for
HOOver's Chances In Demo-
cratic Dixie

Washington, oct. 1.-(R)-Chair.
man Work Of the Republican nation
al committee is highly optimistic Of
Herbert Hoover's prospects in the
usually staunchly Democratic south.
He issued a statement last night
saying that for the first time in
years the Republican party is ac-
lively campaigning in Dixie. A re.
port submitted by Horace A. Mann,
the director Of Hoover activities in
the southern division, was appended,
which predicted that Hoover would
receive an overwhelming electoral
majority in the south, and declared
that in some Of the southern states
the Republican nominee is in the lead
1t the present time.
In his report Mann, who has been
referred to as "the mystery leader" i"
declared untrue charges to the eff
feet that his office had flooded the
south with propaganda attacking
Governor Smith and had been in
close contact with agencies dissem-
mating material Of this nature.
Republican organization in the
south, Mann said, had been impeded
by IAN unfair press" almost unani-
mously Democratic, adding that
through Democratic speakers the
southern electorate was, neverthe-
less, becoming familiar with the
issues Of the campaign.
The. southern leader termed fake
charges that q mystery had been
made Of the southern campaign. He
said that while his office had not
courted publicity it had not avoided
It, and is equipped to furnish in
formation to the press "fully and
courteously."

PREPARES FINAL DRIVE

Warrington, Oct. 1.-(R-Her.
bert Hoover is earnestly hopeful
that his clear-cut announcement on
the religious question will serve to
prevent overzealous workers In his
party from adverting to this subject
during the remainder Of the cam.
paign, either by written or spoken
word.
There probably is no subject upon
which the Republican presidential
candidate feels more deeply, % his
reputation Of the Caldwell letter
indicated, and he often has ex-
pressed to those around him the
keen regret that this matter has
been brought into the campaign.
Hoover on more than one occasion
has made known his view that . po-
litical fight along religious lines not
only violates the very fundamental
principle upon which the republic
was founded, but also is brought
with grave canger to the country
since it aligns one body Of citizens
against another in q warfare which
might have far-reaching effect.
Hoover's hope had been that his
original declaration to the party
workers through Chairman Work,
Of the national committee. and his
voluntary pronouncement for re-
ligious tolerance in his acceptance
address would clarity the stmos-
phere in this respect and permit the
presidential contest to b fought
out on the real issues.

w. H. Webb Of Webb Brothers
says Of the Community Chest: "The
Community Chest il = splendid
thing. Every good citizen wants to
contribute generously to the support
Of our charitable institutions and
other welfare work. But everybody
wants to be sure that he is giving
to . worthy cause, that his money
is not to be employed extravagantly.
When all parties must come before

munity Chest committee. present
their claims for support, have their
work and effectiveness thoroughly
examined, and then are told that the
community can afford to contribute
SO much, every business man knows
that his contribution will be well
spent, and will give more freely and
generously. None have time to make
such investigation on their personal
account, and therefore hesitate to
meet every demand on them"

Sergeant Murphy Returns to
Bismarck to Recall Days Of

Tells Story Of Mysterious Dis.
appearance of 40 Men in
His Command

Between 500 and 1000 Indians
swooped down upon Fort Mexican,
south Of Mandan!
About the south gate and inside.
81 soldiers battled furiously for their
lives.
This was in November, 1874, ac-
cording to Thomas r. Murphy, Of
New York City, soldier and Indian
fighter in the early days of old
Fort Lincoln. At this time the fort
was known as Mexican, receiving
the name Of Fort Abraham Lincoln
some five years later.
Mr.. Murphy, who is now 81 years
old, had q varied and exciting ex-
perience during his time at the old
old fort he recalled Saturday after
visiting the ruins on the West slope
Of the Missouri river Friday.
He first came to Fort Lincoln in
1871. Bismarck at that time con-
sisted Of Z few shacks and an
engineers tent of the Northern Pa
cific railroad then making prelim-
mary surveys into this section.
Indians Hostile
Needless to say, the Dakotas were
overrun at that time by great bands
Of hostile Indians and regular en-
counters with these groups were by
no means uncommon.
Mr.. Murphy's visit last week was
the first in many years. He made
the trip to North Dakota for the
sole purpose Of looking over his old
haunts. Friday he easily found
the place where he commanded 16
men during the attack in the fall Of
1874 when the Indian forces mum.
bered between 800 and 1000 and the
Fort had but 81 men to defend it.
In the year of 1871 Mr.. Murphy
was q member Of . party Of 20 men
ordered to Fort Wadsworth. The
trip was made to the place where
Bismarck now stands, without un-
usual incident, but shortly after
pitching camp about three miles
east Of the city, the old soldier tells
Of m interesting occurrence.
The party Of soldiers Was n
chArge 81 Ut. ". Maize. Shortly
after camp was pitched that night
the lieutenant left camp without ex.
planning where he was going. and
with the announcement that he
would not return until the follow.
ing morning. A. sergeant waa
placed in charge. Mr.. Murphy being
= ranking corporal, took charge Of
the guard. He placed q sentry and
sat down for a few minutes on an
ammunition box and read . maga-
zine three years old.
Camp Mysteriously Deserted
After = while he became con-
scious Of the fact that there was
but little, if any. activity about the
camp. An investigation revealed
that it was deserted with the excep-
tions of himself and the sentry. It
had developed in the meantime that
the soldiers were adept to the signs
Of the bootlegger, and it was few
hundred yards from camp that Cor
poral Murphy found the men. SER
geant and all. in more or less state
Of inebriation.

soldiers back to camp was anything
