Yesterday a meeting of the ten
stockholders, who, last summer
bought the celebrated Bakers
Springs in the mountains near the
7. & FIT. S. Ry., north of this city,
was held in the Office of Messrs Will
liams Il Arnold, and signed articles
of incorporation under the name of
Bakers Springs Co, The gentlemen
composing it are Henry Moore, o.
D. Scott, R. B. Williams, w H.
Arnold, ]. M. SomervelI, Geo. W.
TAYLOR, ]. W. Harris, G. A. Hays,

were elected to serve one year:
Directors-Henry Moore, Geo. W
Taylor. R. B. Williams, ]. NJ. Som,
ervell and j. W. Gardner; Henry
Moore president of the board and
]. W. Gardner secretary and treas
urer.
Directors empowered the secre-
tary to have the articles of incor-
poration filed with the Secretary

graphed stock-book.
1t is the intention of the promot
ers to fix up these noted minera
springs in nice shape, and many o.

The medicinal qualities of the water
are said to be exactly the same al

THINK OF 1T.

For $500 or maybe less, we can
get from 300 to 400 people settle in
our city and become permanent res
idents.
You ask us, how can this be? And
we respond:
We are on the inside of knowl-
edge, source we do not propose to
involve, but what we know, comes
straight from the shoulder asif de-
livered by a knock out blow from a
Fitzsimmons lett lhander, and is to
this effect:
If Texarkana wants the headqlar.
ters of the entire Cotton Belt sys-
TEN, from the officers who are now
in st. Louis, down to the clever
people who were moved away from
here to Tyler, they can have them
back here by the expenditure of a
of money-a mere bagatelle, COM
pared to the good it would do our
city, if the desire is accomplished.

the proper point to operate the St.

GENERAL DoWs PORTRAIT.
Fine Likeness by Walter Gilman Page
Hung in the Mayors Room.

Saturday afternoon thers was hung in
the mayors office, city building, mag
nificent Oil portrait of the late General
Neal Dow. The portrait is the work of
Walter Gilman Page, the distinguished
Boston artist and is striking likeness
of the "father of prohibition" Soon after
| the death of General Dow, Mayor Ran
dali wrote note to Col. Fred N. Dow re-.
questiing that portrait of his father be
hung in the mayors office and as a result
of this nots Col. Dow caused the portrait
which was placed in position Saturday
to be painted.
The portrait is three quarters length,
life size and represents General Dow
seated at table in q characteristic posi-
ton. 1t was made from photograph
taken when General Dow was about
eighty years old. The likeness is an ex-
cellent one and all who have seen it are
greatly pleased with the work of MIR.
Page. The picture was hung in the
mayors outer office just above the fire
place which seemed to be the best posi-
tion for it. 1t is richly framed and adds
much to the appearance of the room.
This afternoon at four O'Clock this
portrait will be formally presented
to the city. Judge Symonds and Rev
DR.. Burrage will make brief addresses
and the mayor will accept the .pioturs in
behalf of the city. All who desire to he
present at this presentation are invited
to assemble at the mayors office few
minutes before four O'Clock today.
Walter Gilman Page has distinguished
himself for his portraits. He is a Boston
man and comes from the old Puritan
| stock, his ancestors having come to Mas
sachusetts bay with John Winthrop
Among the best works of MIR. Page may
be mentioned the portrait OF Governor
Fairbanks of Vermont, which hangs in
the capitol at Montpelier, the picture of
Samuel Little Of the West End railrosd
in Boston, the portrait of Louis Agassiz
| Boston and two portraits which hang In
| the governors room of the capitol build
| ing in Boston. Mr.. Page has three times
exhibited in the Paris salon, one of the
best known portraits being that of the
Countess Deivonne who was Washing
ton belle before her marriage to the
French count Mr.. Page has also painted
a portrait of Gen. Knox which he pre-
sented to the Maine Historical society.
He has recently been at work on g large
historical painting which is now nearly
completed and which he hopes to soon
mt on exhi hition
! Col. Dow was most fortunate in
securing the services of this distinguished
artist in the painting of portrait of his
| father and the work is one in which Port
land people will take grent pride and
which every one will wish to see. Mr..
Page was present Saturday afternoon
when the picture was placed in position
and will undoubtedly be present at the

DR.. William L. Finn, medical examin-
