Owen J. Owen, IT,, who has been appointed postmaster at Conway, was recommended for that place by the Republican state central committee repre- senting the regular" wing of the party in the state. His com petitor was J. P. Balmat, the present postmaster, who was en- dorsed by the insurgent Republi- can committee.
 No little curiosity has existed in political circles as to which one of the recommendations President Roosevelt would ac- cept. The issue was apparently sharply drawn between the two factions, and the recognition ac- corded the regulars" by the appointment of Owen will natu- rally cause rejoicing among them.
 The regulars" promptly de cided to ask the appointment of Owen, and the result shows that the Arkansas regulars" do not come under the persona non grata classification so far as, Roosevelt is concerned.
 The other Arkansas appoint ments announced by the presi- dent were also made on the rec ommendation of the regular Re- publican state central committee.

FRISCO CONNECTION.
Harrison-Dodd City Electric Line Will Connect White River
 Road With Frisco.

Harrison, Dec. 10. -One of the promoters of the proposed elec- tric line from Harrison to Dodd City is in town and seems very sanguine of the success of the enterprise. He reports that the engineer will be here this week to begin locating the survey.
 This road, if built, will connect the St. Louis & North Arkansas road with the White River branch of the Missouri Pacific, which is now under construction, and which passes about ten miles to the northeast of this place. It will also reach into the Dodd City mining district, where con- siderable mining development is going on and new mills being built at other mines.
 It is also the purpose of the company, when the Dodd City line is completed, to run a line south into the timber and mining district of Newton county.
 The now mill is now in operation at the Spear mine, which will furnish considerable tonnage in the near future. There is also other very promising de- velopment work making in this district. This enterprise means much to Harrison, and the peo- pie here are anxiously awaiting the beginning of actual construc- tion.
