FRISCO TO BUILD TO CONWAY
The Frisco May Have Leased
 the Fort Smith Railroad.

The railroad surveying party un- der A. l.. Phillips, which began here about Jan. 10, to survey to- ward Harrison, Ark, returned last Saturday. They met another par ty of surveyors from Harrison and both crowds came i'll here. They met at Red River beyond Quitman. There seemed to be about 30 men in both parties. Their belongings were loaded into a freight car and we were informed that they left for Harrison to begin locating the road from that end of the line.
 MT. Phillips said that the line from here to Quitman was an ex- cellent one. There is now no doubt that this is the Frisco and while we have not learned all the partic- ulars there are good indications that they mean business.
 We suggested to one of the men who ought to know something's that they had made no survey from here to Little Rock and that they seem ed to be going away without doing  1t. We asked how they expected to get into Little Rock. He said they had track. But, we said, this track does not belong to the Frisco. /" He replied, You know that the Iron Mountains lease of the Fit. Smith Ry., expires next year and it is rumored in railway circles that the Frisco people have got ahead of them and have leased the line. :"
 The line from Harrison and Flu reka Springs seems to be little too far west to strike more than the edge of the mineral belt of the state. One of the knowing ones, however, says the Frisco will build from Chadwick, Mo-, through this mineral country and intersect the line from Harrison to Conway. This is not unreasonable, and by the way, this will give them a pret- ty direct line from Little Rock to St. Louis. This is important rail way news and the probability is strong that it will turn out to be correct.

HOW ABOUT

Before saying more about the state house, we desire to explain that we are i'll favor of the building ing of a new state capitol. We be lieve there is nothing too good toi the people of Arkansas and state of the dignity and pretensions O this great state deserves the best O everything. But while we believe these things, we do not believe 1T being buncoed.
 We believe there is band O. men located somewhere, whose bus mess it is to build state houses al enormous prices. They are so wei organized, according to publica tions heretofore made in the press of the country, that they are al most invincible. They are reput ed to be able to work legislatures and use them as playthings. They have gotten contracts for $I ,ooo, ,ooc capitols i'll the Southern States irl Arkansas and Mississippi and pro- bably other states. They seem tc have no competitors when they ge after $I ,ooo, ,ooo capitol. They are said to have had the bill intro duced for the building of our cap itol and to have lobbied it through. They must be slick ducks.
 We may have needed a state house. The present one is getting old and somewhat dilapidated. What we want to kick" about is the paying of all the money to the architect. Very few people know that MT. Mann has been allowed $36, ,267.2I of the 5o,ooo appropri- ation, for his services to date. Not a single paper has published this fact. The Arkansas Democrat says that the meetings of the Capi- tol Commission have been on the star chamber order, which proba- ply is the reason that very few knew of this enormous price to be paid the architect. More than three-fourths of the $50, GOO appro- priation given the architect Ye gods and little fishes!
 At this rate our $1 ,ooo, 900 state capitol will be only $25o, GOO state capitol; the other $75o, GOO will have been gobbled up by the architect.
 The people are trusting their representatives to protect them in this matter. This man should now be dismissed. We like him all right, but he is ''too rich for our blood" He comes too high. Get some other man to complete the work.

The following item is going the rounds of the state press ill the plate matter, and we desire to cor rect it. The shooting occurred at Plummerville, in Conway county, and was the result of drunken row. We do not wish to be slandered by having the lawless- ness of whisky towns dumped on us:

Col. J. G. B. Simnls has been making an effort to have branches of some of the state charitable in stitutions located in Conway. These would help us on toward g greater measure of prosperity.
