He was the first American ta visit it since the territory had been won back from the enemy. But had it been won back? When I heard his story, I wondered. It seems that when he reached the gates of the American-owrtie- d plant, he found a Japanese on guard. He identified himself. In a few moments, a smiling and bowing Japanese officer, still wearing most of his uniform and speaking understandable English, appeared. They began a tour of the property, the Jap most deferential but offering no word of explanation or apology for the fact that he, a late enemy, was in charge and not in Jail In fact, the Jap was very loquacious on the subject of the excellent work that he and his helpers had d me to put the plant back into repair and operation. He showed my friend the various places where the buildings and machinery had been damaged evidence. he pointed out, smiling, of the excellent marksmanship of the American air force. He demonstrated with particular pride how excellently the repair work had been done, obviously expecting (and receiving) praise for the techr t a skill the Japanese repairmen had shown. Very nice, of course. But American industry still reaps no benetit from that plant, and although the Japanese gain no profit therefrom, this American property Is still, literally, in the hands of the enemy V-- Loads of Mail Commentators Lot For one whole week, I saved all the things that came to me by mail which I hadnt asked for except personal letters.

Dc Solo's Futile Quest for Gold Brought Exploration of Arkansas Arkansas was one of the earliest of the Mississippi states to be explored. The first white man to touch Arkansas soil was Hernando de Soto, the Spanish explorer who discovered the Mississippi river. In May. 1541, he came to a river so broad that he called it, in Spanish, the Rio Grande, or great river. The Indian name for the stieam, Mesehacebe, "father of waters, has come down to us, however, as Mississippi. De Soto crossed the river to the Arkansas side For nearly a year, the last year of his life, De Soto traveled over what is now Arkansas, through a vast wilderness inhabited by wild animals and equally wild savages Beginning near the mouth of the White river, De Soto went up the western shore of the Mississippi beyond the mouth of the St. Francis river, then ' southwest journeyed turned south, passed over the Bos-- j crossed the Arkan-- , sas river near Dardanelle Rock, and came into the land of the Cayas Here, De Soto fell seriously ill, and a friendly Indian chief brought him to a lake of "very hot water where he was healed This lake was doubtless the now famous Hot ' Springs On Ouachita river near the springs, De Soto and his party found salt which the Indians gathered and sold to their neighbors. The explorers spent the winter of 1541, a severe one, in an Indian village on the Ouachita, De Sotos faithful m-- j terpreter, Juan Ortiz, died Disheartened by not finding gold and losing so many of his men. De Soto resumed his journey south in the spring of 1542 He followed the Oua-- I chita to the Red river and then went downstream to the Mississippi Exposure brought on a fever and De Soto d.ed, his survivors burying him m the great river he had discovered Spain profited little by the explorations of De Soto. Through her negligence, the Mississippi valley had remained unsettled for nearly a century and a half But while Spain slept, the French were active. After securing the lands bordering on the St. Lawrence river, France had pushed southward along the Mississippi. ton mountains, until he came to the Arkansas river. There is a tradition that he was defeated in a battle with the Indians near where Jacksonpoit now stands, and that he was compelled to turn north again. Learning that there were mountains to the northwest, he continued toward northeast Arkansas where he hoped to find gold, traveling through swamps and dense forests and crossing mountain streams.
