PROTECTION FOR INDUSTRY
R Representative Myers Will Father Bill to Protect Mussels During
 Spawning Season.


 The general assembly of Arkansas, which convenes in January next, will ba asked to enact a measure for the protection of mussels in Arkansas waters during the spawning season from June 10 to September 10. A bill to that effect will be introduced and ps essed by Dr. James H. Myers, rep resentative of Lawrence county.
 Dr. Myers, who resides at Black Rock, is spending few days in Little Rock on business. He was elected to the legislature in September last. He is widely known as pioneer in the great pearling industry in Ar kansas. To a Gazette representative Thursday Dr. Myers announced that it is his intention to use his best eff forts to secure legislation designed to prevent the extermination of mus sells whence come the famous Arkan- sas pearls, which have so enriched many of the people of this state. His idea is that by protecting the mussels through the spawning season, during which the pearls are formed, the pearling and shell industry, in lieu of being meteorlc, will become a per- nlanent source of revenue. He states that in a short time, under present conditions, the supply of mussels in the rivers of the state will be ex- hausted and that then the lakes and rlvers in the St. Francis basin will be l invaded and exhausted. Legislation of the kind proposed by Dr. Myers will, he thinks, serve to prevent the slaughter of the goose that lays the golden egg. Dr. Myers argues that cessation of pearling during the sDawning season will not handicap the buttom factories, which depend upon the mussel shells for material to keep them going. He states that pearling is carried on now all through the year and that the proposed closed season from June 10 to September 10 will not entail disadvantage. On the contrary it will insure permanency to she industry. Of late years the de- mands on the clam have been more than it could stand. In addition to its ssprize package" manner of yield ing up pearls, the shell of the bivalve nit elf is of a practical commercial value During the past year twenty 1 five factories for the conversion of clam shells into pearl buttons have been erected at Muscatine, la. This now makes fifty five factories in this one town alone in which the clam l shell is made into articles of com mercial value. Button factories have also sprung up at several points in Arkansas, and Dr. Myers is using his influence in that way towards holding the shells in this state. In his town, Black Rock, there is button factory which employs 100 hands and uses about ten tons of shells daily. The shells have been the means of dis posing ot whatever surplus yield there might be, and has also raised the price, so that now pearl fishers are no longer obliged to grapple all day for nothing in the hope of bringing up a prize bivalve. These shells
 bring from $12 to $15 a ton.
 Thousands of carloads of shells
 have been shipped out of Arkansas. For a period of three or four months
 at Newport the shipments ran from

BONDS FOR THE ROAD.
Gould Syndicate Preparing For Through Line From Kansas City to Memphis Says Commercial Appeal Wynne to New
 port Connection.

Memphis is assured of a direct Mis- souri Pacific Iron Mountain line to Kansas City. It has been known for some time that the Gould interests have contemplated the building of line between Carthage, Webb City or Joplin to Batesville and Newport, which would give Memphis new line to Kansas City, but line with many crooks and turns and roundabout to say the least. But is now practically assured that direct line is to be built and that the proposed Iron Mountain bond issue is to defray the expenses of the necessary connec- tions.
 The distance from Memphis to New port by the present route, through Wynne and Bald Knob, ss IF miles, and the total length of the through line between Memphis and Kansas City is something more than 800 miles. The Frisco, which now has the only direct through line between Memphis and Kansas City, is about ASA miles in length. The purpose of the building of the proposed Iron Mountain line would be for compe- tition with the Frisco, and the in creased length of the route between the two cities would be a serious handicap for the Iron Mountain line.
 DIAz TO WINNIE.
 To obviate this it is the plan of the Iron Mountain to go furthur than has heretofore been expected, and build direct line from Diaz or Newport to Wynne, Ark, thus cutting down the route from Newport to Memphis from IF miles to something like S6 miles, and bringing the total length of the connecting line between the two cities down to about the length of the Frisco line. This is the coup that the Goulds have up their sleeve and that has been so mysteriously hiuted at for some months back.
 The line between Wynne and New port would be only about 40 miles in length, which, added to the 46 miles of track from Memphis to Wynne, would put Newport about s6 miles from Memphis by rail.
 LIGHTER GRADES CLAIMED.
 The Frisco, while probably it would be still the shorter route between Kansas City and Memphis, has heavy grades to contend with in crossing the Ozarks, and it is claimed by the Iron Mountain people that they will have very much lighter grades throughout their entire Iiue. They state that the proposed Iron Mountain route would not contain a grade of more than 1 per cent, and that this would be only at one point. On the other hand, it is stated that the Frisco has grades of as much as 2 per cent at several points on it's line.
 The Gould line would scarcely have a perceptible grade from Memphis to Buffalo City, as the country between Memphis and Newport is entirely aIluvial, with only one high point, Crowley's ridge, to cross, and it is considered possible to cut through this ridge From Newport to the Missouri line it is possible to follow the valley of the White River for the greater part of the distance, and the grade in the valley will not be heavy From Buffalo City to Carthage it will be necessary to cross the Ozarks, but it is claimed by the Gould engineers that this can be done with compar-

FLOWER AND TREE.

Palms and ferns should never be al
lowed TO stand in n draft.
When moss is seen on fruit trees. it
may be taken as evidence of lack of
thrift in the trees.
The ideal soil In which TO set plant
is one that is moist, without being wa
ter soaked. neither too dry nor too wet.
Dust is great enemy of window
plants in connection with dry heat.
Care must be taken to keep the air
moist.
In India the tea I,'nt is naturally
tree, but by means OF pruning 1t is kept
so small that 1t seems to be only a
bush.
For setting In n dry soil the plant
should be well rooted and stocky, as 1t
must depend on the roots 1t already
has TO make start.
Vines of all kinds flower and fruit
freely only after they have reached the
top OF their support. When they have
arrived" they set about blooming.
Peonics should be planted in October.
Once planted they should not be dis
turbed. but should be allowed to form
strong clumps. Thus treated the flow
ers increase in size and beauty with
each succeeding season.
