Towns to Secure Rock Island

able to get anything very satisfactory
from Mr. Parker
The Rock Island is going to build
the line SO as to enter one of the
leading sawmill sections of the state.
At Thornton there is a big mill, and
at Crossett is the largest sawmill in
Arkansas. The Warren people claim
to have more to offer along that line
than Thornton. as there are three big
mills at Warren. There is big bust
ness for the railroads in hauling lum
Der in Arkanas, and they are after all
of it they can get.
The Rock Island people might gain
more lumber hauling by leaving out
Thornton and going by Warren, but
they are partial to the Thornton route.
1t is shorter. and there is tram
road from Thornton to Princeton, and
another from Malvern nearly to
Princeton, and the railway people fig
ure that it would be cheaper to acquire
these than to build a new line "out
and out Only short distance of
new road would complete the line
from Malvern to Thornton
1t Is also said that the Malvern
Crossett line is only the beginning
of line by which the Rock Island
will be extended to Natchez, Miss.

GOSSIP BY GRAPHiC'S !
MAN ABOUT TOWN. 4!


Some seven or eight years ago when
the Snyder tailor shop blew up from
the escaping gas which came through
the floor. there was a German who
was in the employ of Snyder. There
was an examination by the courts of
the cause, and when the German
came on the stand the lawyer request
ed him to make some statement as
to how the accident occurred. He
began:
Veil, ven oben the door, smeel
me pig stink, so light me match
once ind look ofer here. ! find nod
dings. light me anodder match und
look Offer here | find holdings. But
ven light me match und look

The wrecking of the building was so
complete that the wonder was how the
German escaped death.

The demand for wood is now rap
pidly increasing here. 1t is fine
opportunity for some enterprisinS
man to raft wood down the river and
start a woodward The wood should be
cut now and RATED as weather would
permit and by next summer and from
that time on seasoned wood could
be always kept on hand. Wood can
be cut for fifty cents cord and from
now on until spring it could be gotten
here and sawed and split for one dol
lar. 1t can be hauled for twenty-five
cents and would sell readily at $3.50
or SO per cord and that is still reas-
enable price for seasoned food and
fair profit for the operator. Some
hustling man can investigate this ques-
ton and he will find nearly all the
wood obtainable now is either green
or water soaked, and a yard from
which seasoned wood could be secured
would certainly yield a handsome prof
it.
One OF the cases which has caused
quite little laughing was finally set
tied yesterday by Squire Knox. The
Watts brothers, of Plum Bayou, owed
T. H. Collier $50. Mr.. Collier sued
Watts brothers in Esq. CARROTS court.
He rendered judgment for $29. A
change Of venue was asked for, which
was refused, but Esq. Garrett granted
a trial by jury This. however, did
not suit the parties concerned and so
all judgments we're set aside by Esq.
Garrett, by what authority is the
question, and the case was brought be-
fore Esq. ]. P. Knox, and judgment
was rendered in favor of the plaintiff,
for $29 and costs. 1t is often said that
a Justice of the peace's power is far
reaching and it seems that is the
case in this instance.

'FRIsCocoFFEE EXCHANGE.

San Francisco, Feb. A coffee ex-
change is projected. Its necessity is
felt, and group of leading importers
have concluded to consult with the
other members of the trade on its ad-
visibility and the means Of placing it
on the proper basis. The intention is
that the exchange shall be a depart
ment of the new Merchants Exchange,
which shall provide rules for its gov
eminent, as it is the purpose OF that
main organization to do for tae ship
owners, green produce dealers and
other branches OF trade and commerce
connected with 1t. There are fifty i'm
porters of coffee in San Francisco, who
last year imported 100000 bags of the
berries by sea from the Central Ameri-

80 and seven bags from Manila, as well
as 200 from Rio de Janeiro and $50
from Santos across the continent. At
present there Is no common meeting
place for dealers in the San Francisco
coffee business, and prices are uncer-
tain and unsteady. BY the establish
ment Of the exchange they will be
enabled to meet and discuss the situa-
ton and prices, display samples, trade
with one another conveniently, arbi-
trate differences, and fix standards of
quality and price. Another advantage
will be that the 500 members OF the
Merchants Exchange will have the OPP
portunity offered to them to speculate
in coffee, as is done at present in the
grain market. 1t is thought by those
at the head Of the movement there will
be no doubt OF its success.
