the Southern Pacific, and as an Offset to
the latter company's one-fare rate from

averse to entering into the scheme of san

low rates after the Southern Pacific Com
pany had done so to protect its own ter

We would like to be informed from Q reliable source what has become of our long looked for, hoped for and planned foi electric street railway.
 A few weeks since our citizens were informed that if certain amount of stock would be subscribed for by them an electric street rail- way and light plant would be erected in this city. Committees were or ganized and the necessary amount of stock to obtain the proposed en. terprise was readily subscribed for by our citizens.
 After several weeks of delay a board of directors was appointed, officers were elected aud the articles of incorporation were immediately filed.
 As it now seems, that was the closing chapter in tue history of the Pine Bluff Electric Street Railway and Light plant.
 If any one is in a position to give us any reliable information on the subject it would be highly appreci ated by a large number of our citizens.
