Favor the Railroads.

The Arkansas Lumbermen's associa- tion met in annual session at Little Rock recently and elected the follow ing officers:
 John Rutherford, Pine Bluff, president: c. w. Gates, Fordyce. secretary; Max A. Mulson Malvern. treasurer The following resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas. The public press is now agitating the question of legislative action regarding laws relating to railroads and industrial inter- ests; therefore be it
 Resolved, That while we recognize the power and duty of the state to enact laws for the proper regulation of all corporations we yet urge the most conservative use of such power and 1t Is our opinion that our state should rather invite the competition of new railroads and new industries than seek to embarrass those now here.
 Resolved, That we most respectfully urge upon the general assembly the improper and bad policy at the present time of enacting harsh and oppressive laws such as the pro- posed commission and the two-cent fare bill now pending. Such enactment we sincerely believe will not result in benefit to any of our people. but on the contrary. will tend to frighten away capital and to further depres- sion in general business.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
Addres>ed by fhr. v.ncenheller.

Addressed by mr. v,ncenheller.
 Commissioner Nincenheller recently addressed a colony of newcomers at Mena who had recently come from Kansas and bought land for homes. They propose to cultivate the land themselves, plant orchards and grow grains, and desire at the outset the benefit of Col. Vincenhellers experi- ence. Prof Stinson, of the govern ment agricultural station at Fayette- vile. who is an authority on the enc mics of the apple tree and how to kill them, joined Commissioner Vincenhel- Ter at Fort Smith and went along to assist in the practical talk intended to be of help to the new settlers. The entire ground of how to live comfort ably on farm was gone over, and the scientific results of the governments observations at Fayetteville were given so that they may be practically applied. Col. Vincenheller does not fear that these newcomers who have started out sensibly will have profitable orchards within five years and profitable farms the second year
