THE ESTIMATED COST Of Improving the Arkansas From the Mouth to
 Grand River. OPEN RIVER NAVIGATION REC. oMMENDED FROM MOUTH
 TO LITTLE ROCK, And Slack Water by Movable Dams from Little Rock to Grand
 River.
SOME INTERESTING FACTS

The government report on the i'm provement of the Arkansas river, and other rivers in Arkansas and Missouri, in the charge of Graham D. Fitch, Chas. l.. Potter and Robert Me Gregor has been issued from the gov ernment printing office at Washing ton, and from it the Graphic gleans the following interesting matter
 'If slack water navigation should be adopted for the Arkansas river, it it considered that the dams should be movable rather than fixed, for there are considerable portions of the year when there is sufficient water for open river navigation. Moreover the flood discharges of the river are so great that as little obstruction as pos sible would be interposed to flood flow. It is believed that there would be no special difficulty ill building mova ble locks and dams on this part of the river, (Little Rock to Fort Smith, but the river would have to be fixed in permanent bed to pre- vent it's passing around the dams This would require the protection of one bank or the other. except where the river flows along rock bluffs for Inc ,n1n 1ny aCf1 l, of I,n oah hO dams were placed. There are many points where the river flows along rocky bluffs and where solid rock is found in the bed of the stream at no great depth, and there is part of the bed that is composed of gravel which forms sufficiently solid foundation for the dams It is probable that at some of the sites special care would be re quired in preparing foundations. with consequent increase of cost
 The report then gives estimates on cost of locking and daming the river. It would require thirty-three locks and dams at an average cost of $45O.00 each. and total cost of $14,S50,0 ,000, which is for the 2S7 miles of section from Little Rock to Grand River.
 For the section from Little Rock to the mouth the report says:
 '.On this part of the river, where there is but one point showing any in- dication of rock the banks and bed are extremely soft material. easily eroded. The construction and mainte- nance of locks and dams would be hazardous and very costly. The board is of the opinion, therefore, that any improvement made should bo for open river navigation. Such improve ment could be made. giving channels not less than 300 feet in width. with mean depth of about feet. and cen tral depth of about feet in ordinary low water. For a large part of the year such channels would be wider and deeper.
 Plans are presented for the i'm provemcnt of the river, with esti- mates as follows:
 Mouth to Pine Bluff S6,139ooo; Pine Bluff to Little Rock. S3,12,625 Little Rock to Dardanele, $4,509,500; Dardanelle to Fort Smith 0212a; Fort Smith to Grand river. $5,l59 ,S15. Total, s25.123.725.
 Tn addition to the complete forma- tion and maintenance Of channels, the report continues, there is another work that would be absolutely neces- sary for providing safety of naviga tion-that is the constant removal. at least for many years. of the snags

May Become Necessary.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 12.-Since the
brigands who abducted Miss Stone were
located on the mountain of Gultepe. the
approach of the troops induced them 10
change their retreat. They are now hiding
on the Turko- Bulgarian frontier, ready TO
cross to either side as circumstances de-
mand The decision to suspend the move
ment of the troops was partly due to the
difficulties of operating in the mountain
Gus country and partly owing to fear that a
further advance might endanger the life
of Miss Stone, hence the American desire
to try and negotiate for the payment of a
ransom. 1t is hoped this will result III
the release of Miss Stone in few days.
The officials of the United States legation
are much gratified at the Russian action
in the matter. The Russian ambassador is
supporting the American demands, and the
steps taken by the secretary of the United
States legation. Spencer Eddy. in every
way possible.
The situation in the case Of Miss Stone to-
night is that Missionaries Bair and Heskell
are still trying TO get in touch with the
brigands in order to agree on the amount
this agreement will be reached for some
days AS soon as word comes from the
missionaries that the amount of the ransom
has been determined upon, member of the
United States legation will start for the
place named with the money.

WAGES TO BE INCREASED
5000 ILLINOIS CENTRAL EMPLOYEES
WILL BE BENEFITED.
Company Decides to Pay Ont Between

nuaIIy 10 Its Men.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12-Five thousand en-
Guiding practically every conductor, brake
man, switchman and yardmaE, except those
in the far South. will receive an increase In
wages within the next month. This was de-
cided on in a conference between the off,
GERS of the road and representatives of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. 1t in
wolves an increase in expenditures on the
part of the company amounting to between
100000 and 100000 annually, the largest sin
gle increase in wages granted by any
Western road for ten years.
According to the new arrangements, all
freight conductors will be allowed pay for
overtime-something that has not been done
heretofore. Their hours of work are re-
duced from twelve 10 eleven a day and as
this does not include a lowering of wages
ii means practically an increase of pay
For overtime they are to receive SO cents an
hour
The local brakemen are also to have their
hours cut to eleven from the old period of
twelve, and for each hour of overtime they
are to receive % cents.
The difference in wages due to absorbing
of feeders was felt chiefly in the switch
out the system. The men employed in these
yards were getting from $50 to $50 a month.
Under the new schedule they will receive
from 500 TO s65. The foremen will receive a
uniform wage of s65 a month and the help
ers $50. The yards that are most affected
by this change are those of Freeport ILL.,,
