ing the total membership of the

come home very decidedly, and al
though the Queen has appealed to
them tc aid the regulars for some

serious for them to cherish any de-

For the coming year we have al
most positive assurance of the con-
struction of the Little Rock Nor
thern by Philadelphia capital, from
this city to Springfield, Mo-, through
the zinc fields. The company has al
ready expended $4,000 in the most
thorough and satisfactory survey
ever made through that part of the
state. With coal from the west and
zinc ores from the north. Little Rock
could thus be made great center of
mineral industry. There is promise
of a great year for railroad building
in 1901. During the past year only
62 miles were built in the state,
making it 25 in order of states,
while it was third in 1899"

The Sum of $4,000 Will Be ApprOpri-
ated for White River.

The house committee OF Congress
completed the river and harbor bill,
and reported it to the house immed-
lately npon the reassembling of Con-
gress last Thursday. The bill makes
ample provision for continuing the
construction of locks and dams in
White river. 1t appropriates every
dollar asked by Captain McGregor
tor this purpose, The sum of $780,
900 is given to complete lock No 2,
at Earhearts, and 100000 to con-
struct lock No. 3. just below Pen
ter's Bluff. This makes a total APP
preparation of 100000 for lock No.
2, which is the most expensive lock
in the entire scheme. 1t is estimated
by the engineers that he upper
locks will cost much less than either
of the first three, the river being
more narrow and provided in some
available places with solid rock
banks on each side. With sufficient
money thus made available, the en-
cheering force in charge may lay
out the work and proceed with it in
such manner as promises the best re-
suits.
