ANO FREIGHT ENGINE ON TIE
COTTON BELT WAS DE.
RALLIED
-Four Sections of Track Torn Up ard
Passenger Train Was De-
'ayed Four Hours.

y freight engine on the Gotten Belt
Jumped the track Tuesday night about
/ clock at the west end crossing, but
did very little damage aside from de-
laying the northbound passenger train
for about four hours. The engine was
lunnin8 very slowly and did not turn
over when it left the rails Four
sections of the track on the main line
We're torn up and the passenger train
had to be held until it could be re-
placed. The engineer and fireman of
the freight stayed on the engine as it
left the rails and we've not hurt. A
force of men were called out and put
to work at once and the damage was
repaired in a few hours. Spreading
of the rails on the sidetrack was the
cause of the accident.

IN VARIOUS RUMORS AS To
UP IN POLICE DEPART.
MEN1.
However, the People Would Not Be
Surprised il Something
Should Drop.

There are no further developments
IN the rumors that the police depart
1lent would soon receive another shak-
ing up Both Mayor White and Chief
Peterson say that they have no inten-
tion of making further removals in the
department. and that everything is
running smoothly No action was ever
taken by the city council in regard to
the removal of Former Chief Culpep-
Ger, and the rumor is that there are to
be rev developments along this line.
Patrolman Wilson, who was removed
some time ago. seems to be out OF
the game entirely. The rumor of some
further trouble in the police depart
n.ent has been gaining strength for
ssme time, but no official action has
as yet been taken. However, you
can't always tell what is going to
happen, and if something should drop
the people will be prepared for it, as
they have become accustomed to sud
den changes in the police department.

JOINT LINE,
TO BE BUILT BY MISSOURI PACir,

ROADS.
viii Be But One Competing Line Be
tween Memphis and New
Orleans.

The real object Of the recent traffic
arrangement between the Missouri Pa
cltic and the Frisco is brought 10 the
surface by the announcement of an
agreement between the two systems by
which the Missouri Pacific and tha
Frisco systems plan to build Joint
line down the west side of the Mis-
sissippi river to Baton Rouge, where
the Frisco is to enter New Orleans
oyer the tracks OF the YazoO and Mis-
sissippi Valley. By this arrangement
the two systems will save consider
able parallel track building and both
will have access to the territory cover.

The development of the Valley route
| OF the Frisco system from Memphis to
the mouth Of the Mississippi river is
one of the parts of the general plans
of the managers of the two systems
who request immediate completion il
the quick results of increased traffic
are to be realized. The probability
Of these being close understanding
between these two systems in the low
er Mississippi Valley is especially in
teresting to western railroad officials
and shippers because Of the arrange
ments for handling the traffic through
the Thebes bridge route, and makes

will only be one, and the line now
is under construction by the Missouri
Pacific. The Frisco contemplated it's
own rails between Memphis and New
Orleans, but the arrangement with
the Missouri Pacific and the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley means that
the Frisco will not attempt it's own
physjt al connection as an independent
system.

AND SIXTH AVENUE PAVING WILL
BE PUSHED TO CON-
PlETlON.
Work Started on West End at Hick.
ory Street and Dirt Broken
on Several Blocks.

The work of paving West Sixth ave-
MT has begun and will be pus1!kA as
We're put to work yesterday on the
grading. The work was started on the
WesT end of the street at Hickory
street and several blocks have already
been plowed up. The pavement will
be laid on one side of the street at a
time, SO that it will not be necessary
to entirely stop traffic. 1t is expected
that the laying of the foundation OF
cement and macadam will be started
III about two weeks. A large ship
II ent of vitri4Ad brick has been order
ed and is already on the way. The
Trick will be put down as soon as the
foundation is ready. The contract
under which the work was let specl-
tes that the paving shall be finished
and the street opened for traffic by
November Is next, but Mr.. Ward, the
contractor, expects to have the work
finished by October Is. The work
paving Chestnut street and West Sec
ond avenue was delayed somewhat by
reason of the fact that sand in suffi-
cient quantities could not be obtained,
but no such obstacle will delay mat
ters in the new district.
According to the agreement in the
franchise, the car company will put
down the girder rail on West Sixth
from Main to Hickory streets and
thus improve their tracks and service.
The assessing board in the improve
ment district have not finished their
work in assessing the personal prop
erty along the street. but the money
obtained from the county and city
Will be sufficient to carry on the work
for some time. and there will be no de-
lay for lack of funds to complete the
contract.
The whole length of the paved street
will be seventeen blocks, or about
twenty feet less than one mile, and
will cost nearly $4,000. When finish
ed, Sixth avenue will be one of the
finest drives in Pine Bluff.

Desha's School Population.

The following Is taken from the
recent report Of County Examiner Jack
Bernhardt's report of the schools Of
Desha county: Scholastic population,
3,616; last year, 3,545; enrolment, g.
4o5; attendance, 1926; one new school
house erected during the year; value
Of all public school buildings, $5,075
He says: Our school system in this

tricts are financially stronger More
good work may be looked for in the
future; even yet we can not hope for
a much-desired business administration
until the legislature will pave the
way by enacting such laws as have
