OFFICERS ELECTED.
Directors of Immigration Bureau
 Name Their Officers.

At meeting of the directors of the Immigration Bureau held at tue may or's office last Monday the following officers were elected:
 President, Col. Andrew Johnson; Vice President Attorney J. D. Shaver; Secretary, E. Nj. Green.
 There was considerable discussion regarding the election of land com missioner and it was finally agreed to defer the matter until the next meet ing.
 A committee was appointed to draft articles of incorporation, and another to draft constitution and bylaws for the organization.
 The meeting adjourned to meet at McPhetrige X Johnson's law office at o'clock today.
 It would have been impossible for the board to have selected more capa- ble and deserving men to fill the po- sitions of honor ard trust. President Johnson has taken the lead in this movement, is well qualified, very en- thusiastic and most deserving of the honor of being placed at the head of this organization, which, if properly conducted, means so much for Mena.
 Attorney Shaver as vice-president' IS good man for the place; well fitted to perform the duties resting upon him in the absence of Attorney Johnson,
 Mir. k. M. Green as secretary, is cer- tainly the right man in the right place. He came to Polk county in the spring of 1896, before Mena was known lie has studied the resources of Polk coun- ty, has the experience and knows the kind of work it takes to build up coun- try, can give his full time to the work, and as the enthusiastic originator ot the movement. is justly entitled to the office through which the larger part of the work must be done, and for which some direct compensation is provided.

SUCCESS IS NOW ASSURED.
BUSINESS TEEN JOIN IN HELPING
 THE IMMIGRATION BUREAU.
The Court House Question Explained Regarding Stoppage of Work And Good Roads Project
 Suggested.

The committee selected to secure stock for the Immigration Bureau did good Wednesday, and at the meet ing that night, reported more than one hundred shares subscribed. It was decided to continue the work and meet at p. m. Thussday to organize perma- nently.
 At the conclusion of the business session, Judge Larey, of Texarkana. being present, on invitation made a few remarks containing excellent ad- vice regarding the best methods to be pursued in building up new town, he having had experience in that line. The judge spoke in warm praise of Mena-of it's healthfnl location, and excellent climate and predicted that it would have population of 5000 in two years more. Judge Larey showed his interest in Mena by subscribing to the stock of the Immigration Bureau.
 ExMayor Pickard. of Eureka Springs, being present also, on invitation made some interesting remarks, urgently advising unity of purpose and harmony of acton when working for the up. building of town. He also spoke of the rapid and substantial growth of Mena and of his interest in the place.
 Judge Matheney being present, was asked regarding the stopping of work on the new court house and jail, and briefly stated the facts as to the cause, it being that the contractors had re- fused to accept county script for that portion of their pay coming from Polk county, although this was the agree ment by and between the county and the contractors, as. in fact was the only way the county could pay any of it's bills or contracts. He stated that measures had been taken to have the contractors bondsmen complete the contract.
 As matter of interest to Mena and Polk county, the judge stated that it was in contemplation to try and con. struct some good roads leading into Mena from both the east and the west, provided the cooperation of Mena could be secured by grading and mac adamizing good streets, from the cen ter to the corporate limits of the city, to connect with the proposed county roads.
 These sentiments met with general favor and no doubt Mayor Hamilton and the council will do ali they can in the direction suggested.
