THE ORIGINAL BILL.
The biI TO limit and define the powers OF the
Ramapo Water Company" introduced in
+he Assembly Of 1885 by s. Fred Nixon. The
sane DAY in 1898 Mr.. Nixon introduced bill
10 amend the Transportation Corporation law
relating TO the supply Of water 10 cities towns
and villages" This latter bill amended Section
- q the transportation Corporation law by
adding the following clause:
Brt in cities OF the first and second class the
local authorities now having the power to pro-
vide for a supply Of water may make contracts
cor such time as they may deem necessary for
The best interests OF the cities.
Palpably this bill was intended to give OPP
rorrunity for the Ramapo Water Company 10
make a contract with the city OF New-York.
NJ Nixon. however. did not press this b. :.
since his act directly applying 10 the Ramap
Water Company had the following important
addition made 10 IT:
Said corporation may contract with any cor
p0ratt0n il this State, public or private, 10 fur
rsh water for any Of the purposes Of this act
mentioned. and every corporation in this State
Is hereby authorized 10 enter into such con-
tracts with said corporation for any length Of
tine that may be deemed advisable.
The record Of the Assembly Of 1895 shows
that after the Ramapo Water Company's bill
had been thus amended Mr.. Nixon moved on
April "a 1885, that il be ordered 10 third
reading and that his motion prevailed; that
OF May = 1885. AIr. Nixon gave notice that he
would call up the bill the following day, and
that or May :, 1895. Mr. Nixon called UP the
bill voted for Il. and succeeded in passing 1t.

 Lack of Railway
 facilities has been the one para mount obstacle in the path of our progress. Had we been bound to the outside world by bands of steel we would long ago laid aside the swaddling garments of village life and asserted our su- premacy as a metropolis.
 As we are not dealing in the past, but the living present and a future radiant with hope, we will not particularize as to the birth of the town, some thirty three years ago, and the struggles and viclssitudes through which it has passed since that time.
 About a Decade
 ago Green Forest underwent a metamorphosis which resulted in the beginning of a new era in the towns history. This era, covering a decade, has witnessed substantial progress in many things. And now when we are upon the threshold of another decade in the towns history, a new era, over whose sky is arched 8 bow resplendent in promises for the towns future, dawns upon us. In the refulgent light of that new era, we see the mighty
 '.Iron HOrsev
 snorting at our very door. When the intelligent reader understands that during all these years, years Of wonderful activity, progress and development in almost every part of this great country, that we, with our marvellous resources and possessing a wealth of natur- al advantages for the habitation of man, have been without rail- road and are now about to realize that which we have coveted for so long, our ecstasy over the realization Of that hope will be par6oned.
 The Towns Growth during the past decade has been gradual and perhaps slow, but in this time we have reached a pop ulation of about 400 souls. Upon the whole our buildings; both public and private, are substan- tial structures and in some in stances OUT business blocks will

towns having railway facilities and making some pretentions to city ways. We have some resi- dences which it would not be a misnomer to call elegant, and withal our homes are cosy and comfortable.
 At this time there is considera- able building activity, a substan- tial o-story brick and stone block is fast nearing completion and other building improvements in various parts of town are under way.
 Completion of the Railway to this place is expected in the early autumn of the present year, and we look forward then to increased building activity. It is not unreasonable to look for 6 great influx of home seekers and those who will seek. investments in purely speculative ventures as soon as the railroad reaches here. In this connection we want to say that the railroad is assured. The declaration is made because of misgiving and doubtsin the minds of some of our people, thinking that the officials of the company would "sell out'' and abandon the road. THE TRIBUNE does not believe that there has been ground or justification for this opinion, or that the officials of the company ever entertained 8 proposition looking to that end. The road has been 8 certainty from the start, but delays in the survey have postponed the be- ginning of actual work to a much later date than was expected. i However, active construction work, employing some 2000 men, is now in progress all along the line between here and Eureka Springs and we are assured that digging of the tunnel and the con- struction of the grade will be pushed to completion. The road is styled the St. Louis 6 North Arkansas railroad and will prob ably be built to a point north of Harrison, Boone county, this year. It's ultimate terminal is not known to the public. It is thought that 1t may in time ex- tend to the capital city of the state.
 No Prophetic Vision
 is required to sec what this road means to Green Forest and vicin- ] ity. It's advent cannot fail to in spire confidence and actuate our people to double their energies in the development of the country; and the success of Green Forest depends wholly upon the coun- try's development. Our agricult- ural, stock and fruit lands, rich though they are, are too limited. Hence, we must look to mining -industry for the support that will be required to give us conner cial and industrial supremacy. There is no longer conjecture or speculation regarding the rich mineral deposits of this coun- try. Mineral experts do not hes itate in saying that the mineral richness Of this country promises to surpass the Joplin district.
 Capital is Necessary,
 however, to go down into natures strong boNes-the eternal hills and bring this mineral wealth to the surface. And it is capital taat we desire to bring here. True, capital must, in time, seek tais field; but we want it's help now and invite men Of money to begin the development of this vast source of wealth at once.
