ARE MUCH PLATED Steamboatnen and Business Men Believe Chairman
 Burton's Visit MEANS THE INAUGURATION OF A NEW ERA FOR WESTERN
 RtVERS
Fort Smith Wants Itinerary to Ex- terd to That Place and Have
 Rendered q Boat
Rendered. q Boat.
MEANS MUCH TO THIS SECTION

StcambOatmen are very mu@h eIated over the fact that Congress- man T. E. Burton, chairman of the rivers and harbors committee, IS going to make q personal tour of the Arkansas river, the chief river of the state, for the purpose Of determining what improvements ae necessary to afford continuous stage of water for navigation. They say it means much. and can not result otherwise than of great benefit to thls section of country. The committee will be thoroughly posted as to the neces- sary improvements to produce the desired results and Chairman Burton l will also be furnished with the lntor- l nation necessary to show what great interests are to be benehtted and de yeloped by the improvement of the river.
 The Fort Smith Commercial league l has rendered the congressional con- mttee on rivers and harbors pack ct in which to make an inspection of the Arkansas river
 l MT. Burton has announced that It is his intention to investigate the Arkansas rlver from Little Rock to Pine Bluff. That would leave Fort Smith out of the itinerary and con sequently Secretary Williams, of the Fort Smith Commercial League, has written hlm a letter asking him to investigate the condition of the Ar kansas river from Little Rock to Fort Gibson
 1t is hoped that Mr Burton will comply with the request of the Fort Smith Commercial league, and make tour of the river from Pine Bluff to Fort Smith instead Of to Little Rock only, as navigabie river to ;, Fort Smith would develop one of the finest coal fields in Arkansas. tt would mean big increase in the fuel supply of the towns and cities l along the river, and an increase in the supply means cheaper fuel. Cheaper fuel for Pine Bluff means l greater inducements to manufactur- ing industries, and 1t takes smoke l stacks to make large and thriving city. The development of the Fort Smith coal fields and the great bene fits to be derived theretro.a by the l people of the state are sufficiently important to warrant the government i in making the nee.ied Improvements on the river.
 At present the Arkansas IS not l navgablc in the extreme tow water season for small boats even as high up as Pine BluB, but twenty five years ago large side wheel pack cts went up to Fort Smith, amt even 10 Webster Falls, which IS 100 miles above Fort Smith rhe restoration of even reasonable water transpor- tation would prove q biesslng to tho people of one of the richest valleys Tn the country.

pardon to j. S. CrenshaW, of Mecklen-

burg court and sentenced to six months
Imprisonment on the public roads of the
county. The prisoner shot and killed a
man who was stealing Watermelons
from his patch. Depredations had been
made previously on his place, and he
was waiting for the visitors, of whom
there was three. 1t was not Mr.. Cren-
shaw's intention to shoot to kill, accord
ing to the testimony, and he fired to
brighten the intruder away and not to
take life His previous good character,
active membership in the Presbyterian
church and the numerously signed Pc
titions in his behalf induced the Cover
nor to grant the pardon. Among those
who joined in the application were Sen

AN EIGHT CLUB LEAGUE
WILL BE ORGANIZED
Mr.. Ashsnback Leaves Tomorrow For Cities in
North Carolina, Georgia and South Caro-
lima to Promote Baseball.

Mr.. e. NJ Ashenback the we'll known
baseball player, will leave tomorrow on a
VISIT TO the leading baseball centres in
North Carolina, South Carolina and Geor-
gia with the object of forming an eight
club baseball league next season.
Letters have been received from a suffi-
cient number of cities in the three States
to insure the formation Of fast league.
Mr.. Ashenback will visit these and other
cities for the purpose of working up in
terest.
Among the points that Mr.. Ashenback
will visit are Winston Salem, Charlotte,
Wilmington, Columbia, Spartanburg
Greenville, Charleston, Savannah and Au-
gusta. These are good baseball towns
and an eight league club selected from
this number would be a winner
All the players who were in this league
last season are anxious to return, in
GLIDING those who went to the Southern
League later in the season and there will
be no difficulty in securing them.
The cities proposed for the new league
are so located that the long jumps can
be broken nicely and those who have
figured on the subject do not believe that
the item of railroad expense would be
so large. With an eight league club there
will not be so many games at home.

A RUNAWAY HORSE.
Makes Dash Down Fayetteville Street Doing
Damage

A runaway horse created much excite
ment yesterday morning about o'clock
on Fayetteville street. Dr.. Joel Whita-
ker's horse became frightened and
dashed down the street from in front of
the office One of the Oak City Laundry
wagons was in front of the laundry and
into that the horse plunged, upsetting the
wagon and throwing the driver out on
his face. Dashing across the street
against the curbing and down Fayette-
Vile street by the BobbittWynne Drug
Company's, where DR.. Goodwin's buggy
was standing, the front wheel struck the
buggy tire and bent the axle. This
turned the buggy which the runaway
horse was whirling along completely over
and the horse was then caught and held
in front of the Citizens Bank. He was
bleeding at the mouth and it is thought
is injured internally. Little damage was
done to the buggy except to the tires,
which are rubber.
