ODD FELLOWS CONDUCT
A CLOSE ELECTION
Contest Between S. A. Farnsworth and
Winn Powers Is Exciting.

The contest between S. A. Farms
worth and Winn Powers for grand
master of the Odd Fellows of Mime
sofa will have a close finish. From lat
est returns it is impossible to tell
which will come out ahead.
The reports received by Grand Sec
rotary Bolton yesterday showed a total
of 884 for Farnsworth and a total of
$40 for Powers. There were then sew
enteen lodges still to be heard from,
but it is not expected that all will vote.
Last year 20 lodges in the state cast
no ballots, and it is therefore not
thought many more will report. Winn
Powers has received assurances from
three lodges not yet reported to the
grand secretary that they have given
him enough to bring his total up to
$50, so the end still remains in doubt,
and probably will until the final cam
vass by the grand master next Tues
day.
1t is apparent from the returns so far
received that B. G. Covell has been
elected deputy grand master and that
B. M. Clay has received d majority Of
the votes for grand warden.

sum. Crescy and theatrical associates,
although having no contract with
Younger, were assured by his friends
that his services would be given them
in event of his pardon. They formed a
powerful propaganda to work in behalf
of his pardon and agitated throughout
America.
About a month ago Crescy gathered
his Minnesota ieutenants at the Ryan

built for Younger to star in, under the
title Younger Brothers, Bank Rob-

White River Road Progressing.

The Melville Republican, which is the only paper reaching this office that is keeping thoroughly in touch with the work on the White River road, reports that the construction of the White River railroad of the Missouri Pa cific system between Newport, Ark, and Carthage, Mo. to fur nish the connection of direct Memphis-Kansas City trunk line for the Missouri Pacific sys- tenn, is progressing rapidly, and it is officially stated that but six months additional time will be required to have the entire line completed and in operation with a through Memphis. Kansas City service.
 J. G. Hartigan, of Little Rock, superintendent of the Arkansas division of the Iron Mountain lines, of which the White River Railroad forms a part, was in Memphis and talked interestingly of the Memphis Kansas City ser- vice that is soon to be. He said that the road would be complete to Carthage within six months.
 The tracklaying, he said, had been completed up the White river to Buffalo City, 100 miles north of Batesville, and 125 miles above Newport. The grading, he stated, had been finished to Cotter. twelve miles above Buffa- To City, where the line crosses to the south side of White river. Tracklaying, he said would reach Cotter in few days.
 After leaving Cotter the line enters into the Ozark mountains and comes out on the north side for the run down to Carthage. Grading has been done in spots through the mountains, but can not be connected until three tun- nels, two of them exceedingly long, have been completed. The tunnels form the heaviest part of the construction.
 The White River line will have two large steel bridges, each cost

ArkanSas' Fruit.

A late report says of the fourteen states having O,OOO, ,OOO apple trees and upward, but two Virginia and Tennessee-re- port conditions above their ten- year averages, the conditions in the other important apple pro- ducing states ranging from 2 points in North Carolina to 23 points in West Virginia below such averages.
 The present prospects for the peach crop are decidedly un- favorable, Oklahoma alone among the important peach growing states showing a condition above it's ten-year average. In the re- states having 3,OO0,OOO peach trees and upward condi- tions range from 1 per cent in California to 43 per cent in Ark ansas, below their ten-year aver age.

REEVES CANNING FACTORY
Enlarged to Capacity of 10,s
 900 Cans; Big Tomato Crop.

J. B. Reeves is about the busi. est man in the whole country, During the past two weeks he has twice visited Springfield and Republic, Mo-, on matters per- taining to fitting up and operat- ing of his new canning plant.
 He has now building in Springfield foundry machinery for a factory of capacity of 10,- 900 cans daily, which he expects to have installed on his place, three-quarters of a mile north of town, in ample time for the hand ling of this seasons tomato crop.
 Mr. Reeves has himself now out forty five acres in tomatoes, while his neighbors have in enough to swell the acreage to seventy seven, all of which will certainly furnish products for a good season s WO1k.
 Jim says that indications are good so far for a good crop; plants are healthy and the soil has been put in good condition since the heavy rains. He will use fertilizer freely on his land, which will insure a good yield with anything like a favorable season.
 The success of Mir. Reeves in this enterprise will be watched with much interest. If he should make hit this season equal to that experienced last year with 8 small plant under the most dis couraging circumstances, it will have certainly been sufficiently demonstrated to all that tomato production and canning factories are safe propositions in which to take stock in the country.
 There are few just such go- ahead fellows to be raked up as Jim Reeves, and if he does not make success of this effort 1t will not be the fault of his inde- fatigable energy.
