The Prince road law provides
for road commissioner TO divide
tho counties up into districts, &c.,
but it still did not get down TO the
vital point. What is needed worst
of all is "a road and bridge COM
missioner, whose duty it shall be
to give his entire time in looking
after road working, and erection
and repairing of bridges. Tnis
county has recently lost several
hundred dollars by not having
such an officer. Some bridges
were wrecked that by proper care
could have been avoided.

From the best information and
figures that Secretary Gaines, OF
the ST. Francis County Relief com
mittee has at hand, the county's
loss from the overflow was as fol-
lows: Loss on Irish potato crop,
$500; live stock, $4,000; fence ma
terial and cost of resetting same,
$500; sawmill and timber mems
interests, $1,000; intrinsic value OF
lateness of cotton crop, $4,000.
Total, $4,000. This is a compare
lively small loss, when it is known
that other counties suffered much
larger loss. Still this is a neat
little sum TO come out of less than
half the area of the county. This
is over one.third the annual inter
est on the required $500, 900 BONDS

The elements who are for and
against the issuance of levee bonds,
patched up their differences in til e
legislative committee room We'd
nesday by leaving the question to
a vote Of the people living IN the
overlooked district. The bill pro-
viding for their issuance will in all
probability pass, but their, real
issuance will be governed by an
expectancy from the government
suffi cient to complete the work. 1t
is claimed that 100000 in levee
board bonds, supplemented by
$4,000 government aid, will
complete the system. Vote for the
bonds by all means. Uncle Sam
will do his part, as the Lord helps
those who help themselves.

In response to requests sent out
to architects at different points by
Court Honse Commissioner J. D.
Baugh, for plans and specifications
for the proposed new building,
Little Rock is the first 10 answer
the call. Mr.. Frank w. Glib, M.
E. G. E., architect, designer and
contractor, arrived in the city
Wednesday and made survey of
the surroundings, which it is
hoped will soon be occupied by
that much needed building.
The gentleman was not pre- p AIRED
TO furnish the commissioner an ac-
copied plat of the building, but
asked for short period of time in
! which TO submit same. In speak
ing of the topography of tho site,
he was impressed with the COM
handing view the building would
possess, its adjacent position to the
business portion Of the city, its
areablc and c elevated feature, &c.
Upon being questioned as to- the
probable expense of grading the
site for the building. the architect
scanned tho, lot with his trained
eye and remarked that S25 would
do the work. This latter item
should be source Of qualification
to all interested as this grade
work has Deen regarded by some
as serious obstacle in placing the
building upon that particular spot.
1t is now to be hoped that oppos-
ing parties to the site will now join
hands and mako strong steady
pull for the erection of the court
house.

From Cuba and the Phillipp

From Cuba and the Philippine
islands has come in the past large
amount of the tobacco consumed
in the world. The United States,
Brazil, Java, Sumatra, Syria, India,
and Mexico have produced all the
balance. The island of Cuba is to-
day laid waste by fire and sword,
and the Philippine islands are sut-
fering from the same visitation.
1t will be years before Cuba can
regain her prestige as 4 tobacco
growing country, and in the mean
time other countries will benefit
from her mlsfortunes. Even if
Cuba does not prosper in the years
to come, it will be difficult for her
to again turn the tide of trade in
her direction, as it will have been
diverted into new and permanent
Observation-Disclosures Tobacco
World.
The Texas Stock Journal in dis
cussing this question, says "therc
is failure for tobacco culture in
this country, and there is no time
more propitious for its realization
than the present. The destruction
of the Cuban source of supply will
lead to experiments in many places
and induce the investment Of capi-
tai" Arkansas possesses soil and
climate peculiarly adapted to the
raising of tobacco, especially st.
Francis county, and some enter

OIL Notes.

The drill in the deep we'll sinks very
slowly, but steadily pounds away. AS
near as we can ascertain 1t is now the
deepest well in the state.
The Forest Oil Company is erecting
two warehouses, a machine shop and a
blacksmith shop on their ground south
of Main street. One warehouse isabout
completed and the work is progressing
rapidly on the other.
A pump pit 20 feet in diameter and
II feet deep has been sunk on the east
bank of Fall river. From this the re-
finery will be supplied with water by
it's own water system. Two pumps, each
having a capacity of one million gal
Ions in twenty-four hours, will be
placed at this pit. One only will be
used at a time, the other being used as
an auxiliary in case of fire or repairs on
the Others.
The refinery builders now see the be-
ginning Of the end. They hope to have
crude oil running into the stills within
the next fortnight. They lighted fire
under boiler No. /. Wednesday, and we
may expect to hear the big whistle blow
at any time. If this refinery is compile
ted in the period it promises to be, it
will be record breaking time. Ground
was first broken on February II, and if
the crude oil is running by May s, as
indications point, it will be completed
in less than three months. Mr.. Webb,
who has had immediate supervision Of
construction evidently understands his
business thoroughbred has the facul-
ty of inspiring his men with zeal and
energy. But need Of praise is due
every man, as each one-from the
humblest laborer to the general super
intendent, whether in the ditch gang
or on the CLERICAL force-is toiling as if
the success of the building rested up
on his individual efforts.-Neodesha
