THEIR WAGES RAISED.
Full Standard Wages To Be Paid After
 November |, 1898.

T. J. Clayton, as a representative of the employees on the Port Arthur route at this place, returned Friday from Kansas City where a seven days meet ing or conference with the managers and officers of the road had been held. He states that the employees were all treated very nicely by the officials and that the meeting was in every wa satisfactory and sue cessful
 This being a new road the men had been working for low wages, but as a result of the meeting an agreement was reached whereby the men will re- ceive standard wages after November i, 1898, and an increase of one-third the difference between wages now paid and standard wages at once and another increase of one-third, on May 1, 1898.
 This agreement appears to be entire ly satisfactory to the men as they start this month with an increase in pay with further increases promised for May and November 1898. Mir. Clayton says that the men are so we'll pleased with the arrangements as agreed upon that they propose to try by faithful service and careful. eco nomlcal work to save to the company as much during the year as their in- crease of wages amount to-

Best Town on the Road !.

D. L. Stump, the successful editor of the Port Arthur News and for ten years or more was our faithful fore man on the Carthage (Mo Press. On arriving home from recent trip north he says in his paper:
 On our return home from Kansas City, we had the great pleasure ot meeting our highly esteemed friends A w. St. John and his son. Roy of the Mena Star, at the depot in thai thriving city Tuesday morning. Mr St John reports business fine and prosperity abundant. He is enthusi- astic in his admiration of Mena both as business and healthful location lie is entirely confident that it will always remain what it now is-tbe best town on the road between Kan sas City and Port Arthur. The c;tr is certainly well located, and has most promising future before it. IL issaasv to believe that Mena will in time he. come the most important town in the state ot Arkansas.

Stilwell of the K c r. & G., is inaugu- rating d system along the line of She road that will be of benefit to them and that iIe is doing it on his own account. Starting at Kan sas City and then following down along the line of he road at Still well, Mena and other division points he is proposing to erect buildings that will contain sleep ing rooms, bath and reading rooms for the use of the employees of the road and also arrange for light lunches to be served to the employees when needing them.
 This is something that the em- ployes cannot help but appreciate. Given comfortable rooms for rest and recreation and where good bath and light lunch can be had, the men will each and all feel bet ter equipped in mind and body for the duties they are expected to perform.

MILLIONS FOR PORT ARTHUR.
The P. & c. Decides on Big Expendi-
 lures At Its Southern Terminus.

The directors of the Kansas City, Pitts burg & Gulf railway decided at meeting held yesterday afternoon to expend two and one-half million dol lars for permanent Improvements at Port Arthur, the Gulf of Mexico ter minus of the line Of this amount one-fourth million will be used to build a dry cock 500 feet long. It will be the only dry dock south of Port Royal, $. C., large enough for the accommodation of ocean liners and war vessels. The remainder of the money will be devoted to the dredging of the ship canal between Port Arthur and Sabine Pass and tine building of docks and terminals.
 Work on the improvements at Port Arthur is to be pushed vigorously, as the Pit1sburg x Gulf road desires to begin handling it's export traffic through Port Arthur as soon as possi- ble It now goes over other lines to Galveston and New Orleans.

THOUSAND AND SIXTEEN BALES.

The railway reports for the month of October at this place show that ten hundred and sixteen bales of cotton were shipped to the markets from Mena. When it is considered that this is the first year Mena has been q cotton mar ket, the shipment, noted above tell of the growth the town is mak- ing as commercial center. In addition to the cotton shipped away large quantities have been purchased by our merchants and stored to be held for higher prices and every grower who can Is also holding his crop.
 It is safe to say that most of the money paid for the cotton being marketed here Is spent by the growers with our merchants, all helping sustain business.
 Mena has now become cstab- lished as a cotton market and there is no doubt but that she will in the near future, become the best i'll Western Arkansas.

In spite of all that may be said to the contrary by the papers of other towns the merchants of Mena pay higher prices for cotton and sell goods cheaper than any other town within radius of 100 miles These facts the people of the country surrounding Mena are learning which accounts for the large amount of cotton coming to our markets and for the trade our merchants get from people living thirty or forty miles distant.

RURAL FREE MAIL DELIVERY

We stated last week that the experiment of rural free mail de- livery had been tried in fourteen states. In this we were in error as the experiment. had been tried in twenty nine states. Assistant Postmaster General Heath in his report giving the result of the ex- pertinent says:
 'sAccording to the varying con- ditions of the country traversed, the rural carriers perform their services on horseback or riding in buckboards, buggies, two wheeled carts or on bicycles. In some states they have to cross farms and pull down bars and ride over fields to deliver and collect their mails. In no instance has any serious complaint been made of this invasion of private rights. On the contrary. the cooperation of the communities served has in every instance been cheerfully given. The farmers at thclr own cost have put up boxes at the cross. roads and at all other con- venient places for the reception of the mails. The general results obtained have been so satisfactory as to suggest the feasibility of making rural delivery a perma- nent feature of postal administra- ton in the United States. not i'm mediately or in all districts at once. but in some gradual and graduated form
 Surely it will not be many years before the people in small towns and in the country will have the benefits of free mail delivery.
