that the contracts have bc2n awarded

fact is, he continued, that bids on
the grading and construction of this

managers They should be able to
report in very short time now. and
if there is no hitch in the program l

When asked for something in the
way of information regarding the
building of the line from Memphis to

however, that if the road was built

The Arkansas Car Service associa-
4ion is now being organized by the
la.,reads cne.a aupg in this state. The
association will be doing business
within the next twenty days. October
/ if is understood. is the date for
the beginning of operations. The
headmarters will be in Little Rock.
The new association will absorb
large portion of the territory now in
rIuded in the Memphis Car Service as
sGciation's jurisdiction. The reason
This DIV iaio,4 of territory is that the
Memphis as ociation has become TOO
extensive, the work being more than
can conveniently be handled through
one office There are now over $40
local railroad Offices reporting to the
Memphis associations This number
will be materially reduced by the
fbange to occur. At the same time
the car service regulations will be eX-
r ended in Arkansas to include pf9c1l-
cally all the local stataions on the i'm
portant lines i'll the state
in a sense there has been a system
Of car s.,N ice in Arkansas fur theso
local stations. The jurisdiction has,
though. only extended to those sta
tions which are junction points. Each
of the several roads has kept its own
car service accounts Of the local Of
ices.
The objects Of cal-service associa
1ions are to keep records Of the mum
bei' of freight cars, loaded Or empty,
handled through each station i'll the
territory for each day. and to see that
the local and joint agents enforce the
demlurage charges when car has
been detained by q shipper longer
than the time usually allowed for
loading or unloading. These re9ula-
tons are to protect the railroads from
detention Of cars for storage purposes
by shippers and to keep cars moving
so that freight traffic may not be con
cested. The results have been so sat
isfactory that in the few years that
car-service associations have been es-
4ablished the system has been rapidly
extended to include practically the en-
tire United States.
The territory at present embraced
in the Memphis association includes
West Tennessee. Northern Alabama.
Northern Mississippi Arkansas and a
portion of Louisiana. All the railroad
lines entering Memphis have member
ship in the association. The princi-
pal roads which will Ge in the Arkan-
sas association arc the Frisco, Choc-
taw, Iron Mountain. Cotton Belt and
Missouri Pacific There will be son2
additional smaller lines.

ests have been urged before the committee
in the consideration of the oieomargarine
bills, but Mrs. Smith borught forward a
new one.
She made plea in behalf of the perse-
cuted dairy maid, whose business has been
taken from her by the sduIterators of but
ter She said that matrimony had de-
creased 90 per cent among the farming
classes. the dairy maids are now forced

TREASURY ERROR RECTIFIED.
Tardy Remittance On Spanish War
Loan.

The Treasury Department has issued a
$50 coupon bond of the per cent loan OF
lyOS-1S (Spanish war loan, and shipped 1t
to lady at Lowell, Mass. This lady, with
her husband, made two subscriptions to the
loan in the summer of 1898 of $3.50 each, re-
mitting at the time of the subscription
per cent of the face value. The subse-
auent payments were received from time
to time in accordance with the terms OF
the subscription, and when final payment
was made the department, through an er-
rcr shipped $40 less than the amount of
bonds to which the subscribers were enti-
tied. This discrepancy in the accounts of
the department was discovered in the win
ter OF 1899; but. owing to the enormous
number of items in the subscription ac-
count of the loan OF 1898. the error was
not definitely located until a few days ago.
The department wrote to the lady asking
her for her statement of the transaction
and she responded with a very clear ac-
count and stated that she had been aware
all along that she had not received all the
bonds to which she was entitled, but had
preferred not to contest the matter with
the government. 1t is needless to say that
the government never knowingly withhoids
anything due a creditor. and IL has today
made good this error OF long standing.
