PINE BLUFFS
 OPPORTUNITY
TO SECURE STATE AID IN BUILDING \ RAILROAD.
The Most Feasible Plan Yet Named by Which State
 Railroad Can Be Bmlt.
To the GaApHrc.

To the GRAPHIC.
 The Legislature of 1897 (acts of special sesson, p. 94) passed an act tTo create q State board author ized to locate, establish, survey build, equip and operate State Rail Roads and telegraphs, to provide the manner for raising revenue feI such purpose; to provide a penalty for misappropriaiing money and for other purposes.
 This act provides for the employ mept of conyicts, to secure dona- tions and gifts of lands and money to aid in the construction of said railroad and telegraph lines, and also clothes the said board with power to ell any lands belonging to the State of Arkansas and apply the proceeds of such sale to the con- structioa of railroads
 After the first ten miles of any line Of any railroad have been grad ed, the State board shall have the right to issue bonds and secure them by first mortgage on the aforesaid road-bed, track, right of way, equipment and franchises, and dis pose of these bonds for funds with which to purchase rails, rolling stock and other necessary material, skilled labor, etc. 7
 Now, Mr. GRAPHIC, has it eyer oc- cured to you that it is within easy reach of our enterprising people to start the construction of road to the Missouri State line from our city? l will explain how There is now graded north of the river, on a line to Lonoke, on the old right of way of the Searcy. Pine Bluff & Monroe Railway, about Is miles of road bed, which at q nomi- nal expense could be put in a perfect condition of grade; then in addition to that. grade two miles more and present to the State board 70 miles of graded road and thereby insure the construction of d railroad to the Missouri State line, reaching all tho valuable mineral fields of North l Arkansas.
 Lonoke, Bebee, Helena and other towns of less consequence could all be enlisted in this enterprise and thereby insure it's success.
 Gov. Jones will be in this city next Monday night attending Labor Day and it would be well fer some of our enterprising citizens to pre- sent this matter to him. and see what can be done.
 Yours, &c..

PoRT TOWNSEND, WASH, Septem- Der "A letter just received from John U, Smith, United States com missioner at Dyea and Skagua, inti- mates that government officials now on the way to Upper Yukon may by their official acts bring on serious International complications with the Dominion government. He says: "It is announced there by a Deputy United States marshal that the United States government is to make claim to Il large portion of the Yukon gold fields wh ch here tofore has been supposed to be in British territory, and that the ter ritory, which is C! imed as being within Alaska. includes Dawson City. The basis of the claim is to be made by United States officials U the disputed territory, is in fact that boundary line has never been deter mined and the United States author ities are claiming to possess inior- nation as to surveys made by the government that fixes Dawson City and a large portion of the go1d district within Alaska

Fige-pOuad caddy That Was Raised

Among the products placed on the tables for exhibition at the Mer- chants Exchange yesterday, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal, was q box of tea that was raised on Capt. Foglemau's plantation in Gritteuden county, Ark, by one oi his tenants, D. Barnes. This man has been bringing small samples oi his tea to Barksaale, benton < eo, for two or three years. and this time brought q 5.pound caddy full. The tea is not dried as the Ofirntals dry it, but is dry, nevertheless, and makes a pleasant beverage, and Barnes hopes to grow it in paying quantities in time.
 Barnes is negro well advanced i'll years. some years ago q man came along and wanted to stop al his house over night tiarues took him in, and next morning, as he had no mone', he gave Barnes some tea and instructed him how to plant it.
 The seed was put carefully away in the clock until the proper season for planting, when il was deposited in the earth as directed It grew as well as the cotton, and many is the cup tea Barnes and his wife have quaffed from its leaves.
 Barnes little tea plantation was submerged by the flood last season but it did not seem to hurt the plants, for this season they art thriftier than ever before.
 The tea is q Leautiful plant, and il grown on the lawn for ah ornamen tai shrub -vonld be quite attractive It grows from to feet high wftl bush stems and very leafg branches The leaves are bright green and about the size Of q night blooming jasmine leaf and much the samt shape. It has small. waxylookinp white flowers that are slightly frag rant, and grow along the stem il the axis of the leaves
 The success that Barnes has haC with his tea proves concluslvely thi' is another industry that may bt claimed by Arkansas.
 The authorities on growing te5 say that the plant thrives best il light, friable soil of good depth through which the water drain easily It adapts itself to almos any climate, from the tropics t, north latitude 39. It will stan, some frost when there is summe heat enough to harden the wood.
 In cultivation for profit the plant are not ready for picking until the, are three years old. The process 0 caring for tea, is a very interesting one but at the same time simple and could be attended to by any one

The GRAPHIC would suggest that unless it rains between this date and Labor Day, that, after the lne of march for the grand parade is selected, the Fire Department sprinkle the streets over which the parade:will pass. This can be easily and well done by the fire boys on the night before the parade
 The water works officials will, doubtless, grant permission for the water to be used for the purpose, considering the occasion, and inas- much as the sprinkling will serve to flush the water mains.
