holiday when THE TRIBUNE scribbler can find time to visit Eureka Springs. From Saturday afternoon until Monday morning we "spent the summer" there very agreeably, guest of Mother Belding.
 The building boom that seems to have come to stay is still nov ing along, evidences of many new improvements being apparent. ssAIae county seat removal ques- ton was broached quite often and each time, too, by the other fel- low. If Green Forest should not receive d liberal following there indications are not good for much.
 The prospects were pronounced good for the success of the South western Summer School and Chautauqua, which opened it's first term there Monday, and which will be in session for six weeks.
 The report of an opportunity to secure a cold storage plant in Green Forest was the subject of several inquirers, who hoped we may succeed in landing the big enterprise. Capt. Hawley was especially interested in the prop osition. He says the deal should be landed by all means.
 At the Wadsworth hotel we found Charles Lee Requa of the Frisco Immigration Bureau, who congratulated us upon the men, tion made some weeks ago of the trip of himself and the official photographer of the Frisco over the line of the St. L. & N. A. road. Mir Requa thinks that efforts being put forth by the railroads to advertise this country will result in large influx of home seekers this fall.
 In conversation with the former Manager of the railroad, George West, we learned that while he has yet no definite plans laid for the future, that there are other positions seeking his services and that he will most likely continue to reside in this country, which will be gratifying news to the thousands of friends he has made during his connection with the road. Mr. West is enthusiastic on the mineral prospects in Ma rlon county and while he did not intimate such a thing to us, we have it from others that he may turn his attention in that direc- hon. He is spending consider able time in the mineral field, at least.
 $. J. James, travelling pas- senger agent of the St. l.. & N. A., whose business is to in duce people to come to Eureka Springs ior health and pleasure, gave us some important information on the matter of advertising the re- sources of the country. In his Nf3avels he distributes thousands upon thousands of literature in advertising Eureka Springs as a resort. He says in the next issue, to be gctten out the latter part of the summer, considerable space SWlll be devoted to the resources or this country, and he solicits the ald ot the newspaper people and any one else who may be able to heip In furnishing information of what has been done here, so as to make the report as elaborate ana complete as the facts will permit. He is sure that this will oe a drawing card that will bring great results.
 |, ufeka springs IS not touching .he heights of prosperity that usually characterizes the sum- mers in that famous resort. The causes are easily traceaple, how ever. In the first place the spring and summer have been backward, and the floods and other unfavorable weather condi- llons have changed the plans of many who are in the habit of Visiting the watering places at this season. Then, the short- time, cneap excursions that have been cunning in from various south.
