100 miles above here. This makes an era in our material progress and de- velopment that deserves more than passing notice The lock at this point was completed in~4900 and lock No 2, eight miles above, was com pleted last year. The dam at No. 1 is now just completed and it does all that was planned by the engineers, raising the water here about 10 feet and giving slack water navigation from here to lock No. 2 of about 2 1-2 feet at tbe minimum.
 The dam at No. 2 will be put in this season and it will be the largest dam of the series, about twice the length of the one here.
 These locks and dams will not only give perennial navigation into the greatest mining district of the coun- try and one of the most productive fruit and stock countries, but it will furnish natural and cheap competition to the railroads now penetrating that section and will make it one of the greatest productive centers of the Southwest

MAKES QUITE A HIT,

In lengthy narration of the pro- ceedings of the seventh annual con vention of the National Association of Local Fire Insurance Agents, held at Louisville, Kentucky this week, the Courier Journal, treating the re- ports made by the representatives of the several states, says:
 "The best talk of the afternoon followed, if enthusiasm by the audi ence is any indication. The speaker was Alcorn Ferguson, of Arkansas. He said fire insurance was not a side line feature in his State, as only straight underwriting was the pro- fession. He spoke of the Resident Agents law passed by the Legislature of Arkansas, claiming that it was a God-send, doing good for the agents and doing the companies good. He pronounced it wise measure also for the State, the treasury of which had taken in 2,500 extra dollars because of the act He brought down the house, however, with the story of the agents of Arkansas standing together. "To use the words of another,n said MT, Ferguson, whether from our highest hills, on which Democrat may stand and shake hands with his friends in heaven, or whether from our swamps so low that Republicans may give a cooling drink of water to their friends in hell, we make a long pull, strong pull and pull altogether; hence our success

SMART SET RECEPTION
Confectionery Daughters Elegantly En- tertained Thursday Evening at Home of the Misses Branden
 burg.


 The climax of the social features pertaining to the Daughters of the Confectionery convention and in honor of the delegates and visitors, was reached in an elegant reception given at the home of Misses Ray and Lucy Brandenburg Thursday evening from eight to eleven o'clock, by the mem bers of the Smart Set club. The cause represented by this gathering of wo- men from over the state is dear to the hearts of Newport people, who are as rule of Southern ancestry and their loyalty to the memories and principles of fathers, brothers and husbands, who served under the stars and bars, made them eager and enthusiastic to manifest their sympathy and support in open hearted hospitality.
 The delegates too by their social charms and beauty, have further en- listed the interest and friendship of our people, few of whom failed to respond to the invitations of this popular club of young ladies.
 The Smart Set, while new organ ization, are by no means novices in the art of entertaining and more smartly arranged and perfectly ex ecuted function could hardly have been given. The rooms had been artistically decorated with flags and floral offerings and from the arrival of the guest to the time of departure, not an instant was allowed to drag. Misses Ray and Lucy Brandenburg, Marille billiard, Claire Johnson, Mabel Padgett, Roberta Morrison, Mary Laird Lou Minor, Mesdames J. L. Jones and T. E. Allen received in the hall way, the guests being first ushered to the punch bowl in the library, pre- sided over in a graceful manner by Mrs. Q. E. Jones and Miss Mabel Stayton, who served delicate fruit beverage.
 In the dining room, refreshments of brick cream and cake were nicely served by members of the club assist ed by several other ladies. Another feature that must not be skipped was the rendition of several vocal selec- tions by Mrs. G. A Hillhouse and Miss Dot Thornburg of Little Rock, both of whose voices are very popular here and never fail to elicit generous compliment.
 In bidding the receiving young ladies goodnight, the visitors express ed in no uncertain words their enjoy ment of the occasion and the residents of Newport through the acquaintance these social gatherings have made possible, express regret that the visits of these new found friends are to be so brief.
