AT EUREKA SPRINGS.
Tribune Scribe Finds a Friendly
 Spirit in That City.

Spirit in That City.
 "You people are getting ready to welcome the first train, are you?"
 s'You Green Forest people will be in the push now sure enough"
 "Green Forest will surely make a good town"
 "Green Forest has the finest location for town in the state.'
 ssI am coming to Green Forest as soon as the trains begin running"
 Screen Forest can now have the county seat, if she wants it.''
 The above are few of the many greeting expressions given us by business men and citizens while in Eureka Springs last Monday.
 There certainly exists very cordial feeling among the people of Eureka Springs toward Green Forest. Praises for the town came in in almost every conver- sation in which we were engaged. Even people there who have never visited Green Forest seem per- fectly familiar with our surround ings and express the opinion that there is a bright future before us. In fact, it may be said that the people of Eureka Springs gener- ally are rendering us all the moral assistance they have op- portunity to offer us.
 THE TRIBUNE is delighted that such is the case. The people of the famous health resort are in a position to lend us material aid by kindnesses in this way. Out of the thousands of health and pleasure seekers that visit the place every year, there are not a few who are disposed to seek new fields of investment, and a kindly rec ommendation of Green Forest is at all times desirable.
 Itis always a genuine pleasure to us to mingle with the enter prising people of Eureka Springs. When we say ''enterprising" we mean more than is usually carried by the common use of the term. The city of Eureka Springs stands today a monument to pluck and energy.
 In building such a magnificent and even wonderful city in one of the toughest spots under the sun, the people have made Eure- ka Springs from water, air and the deep blue sky. With these pure ingredients, backed by en- ergy they have built a city that is famous as a health and pleasure resort throughout the United States and in many foreign coun- tries. The expense it has taken to make Eureka Springs what she is today would pave the streets of an ordinary town with pure silver.
 The extension of the railroad east from Eureka Springs will effect the business interests of the town in a measure, but we heard no grumbling on that account. The broad, liberal spirit that has ever characterized the citizenship of that town partakes of no jeal- ousey or Encouragement. The town being distinctively water ing place, it's vital interests could not be hurt by the penetration of a railroad from every direction. In fact, that is it just what the people of the town would like to see. Eureka Springs is willing enough to take care of her health and pleasure seekers and let Green Forest and other towns contend for commercial suprem- acy.
 THE TRIBUNE is popular in Eu- reka Springs. We have good list of constant readers in the town and several new names were added during the few min- utes' time we had for canvassing.
 THE TRIBUNE is always afford ed pleasure when it can say good word for Eureka Springs.
