CHRISTMAS GREETING.

greeting to its many readers an
friends.
This handsome twenty-four page ed
ton is due more largely to the big de
mand for advertising space in its col
umns than to anything else. But 70
the very liberal use of its columns
by the advertisers so great numbel
of pages could not have been issued.
1t is superior to any issue ever here
tofore made Of any Pine buff newspa
per, including the Graphic itself, which
is accustomed to getting out big pa
pers.
1t is not only a handsome piece OF
press work, but it is filed with fine
selection of matter suita BILE for a holi-
day edition. 1t contains fashion plates
with matter descriptive of the cos
tunes illustrated. There is charm
ing Christmas story. and other Christ
mas reading for the little folks as we'll
as for the adult reader There are
hands some pictures representing the
the first page of second section is the
picture of Christmas bride. Another
half page picture is a Christmas bride
Still another half page is a Christmas
choir scene at church.
The second section also contains
writeups of Fordyce and kingsland
two prosperous neighboring towns
There is the music feature, Santa
Claus letters. society news, general
news and all the local news
To get out this big Sunday edition
imposed a great task upon the Graph
les employees Four pages of the pa
per We're printed at time, herce it
required six runs on the press to
print the twenty four pages. The
time required for each run was about
FIVE hours. requiring thirty hours press
work for the whole edition. The first
four pages printed We're put to press
Tuesday night The second four pages
were printed Wednesday night, the
third four pages on Thursday night.
the fourth four pages on Friday night
the fifth four pages Saturday afternoon
and the sixth four rages on Saturday
night.
The folding was done by machinery
eight pages folded at a time, and three
runs on the folding machine being
necessary to fold the entire edition.
When it is considered that this big
edition was gotten out without increas
ing the editorial or mechanical force.
and that for three days while four
pages eacn day were gotten out for
this edition, the daily editions for those
days were also issued on regular
time, 1t may be more readily under
stood how great an undertaking it
was for the regular force to do lne
work without assistance.
Every employe has been faithful in
his efforts TO perform this work, and
while the advertisers made the big
edition possible, the larger the adver.
tisers made the paper the
greater was the undertaking on the
part of the employees to get it out
The Graphic is certainly gratitied
with the patronage il has received for
this issue and is grateful to its en-
ployes for their loyal services in get,
ting out a paper such as its liberal
patronage warranted and it believes
that its readers Will have a due appre.
citation i the efforts put forth TO give
them me biggest and best Pine Bluff
newspaper ever printed.

NOT WORTH THE COST.
Tennessee Estate in Which lowans are
Interested Proves of Little Value.

New London, Ia, March 16.-SOme
newspapers in the east and also in this
vicinity have called attention to the
fortune the Leisenring family will in
herit from the estate of a relative.
Mrs. V. H. Shields, of this city, is one
of the heirs, but has not grown en-
thusiastic over the matter. 1t seems
that her grandfathers brother pur-
chased a 5000 acre tract of Tennessee
land in an early day and it is thought
his only son died without issue, which
would leave his estate for distribution
among the collateral heirs. This land
has been considered undesirable, but
the reported discovery Of rich de-
posts of coal underlying it, supposed
to be the cause of parties in the local
ity making an effort to round up the
heirs and perfect the titles. The pro-
cess by which the title can be perfect
ed, if it can be done at all, is likely to
absorb big share of the land. The
share of Mrs. Shields, when properly
Whitfield down, would be about TWEEN
ty acres, and with the information at
hand the chance of securing her por-
ton would not be worth throwing
twenty good dollars after.

HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BlTTERS.

game in the forest reserves of the
country. A bill was introduced both
in the house and senate. Opposition
developed in the house, and the bill
introduced there failed. The senate
succeeded in getting it's bill through,
but the measure cameto the house too
late in the session to secure action,
although the house committee took
favorable action on the measure.
Alaska Homesteads.
"A new homestead law for Alaska
was passed. This law increased the
size of the homestead that can be
taken up in Alaska from eighty to 800
acres. Under the Alaska homestead
act of 1898, the size Of the homestead
was fixed at eighty acres, and not
single entry has been made under that
law. The reason for this was ex-
planned to be that no one in search OF
a home would go to Alaska and be re-
stricted to eighty acres of land when
they could obtain 100 acres in any of
the states where public land was to be
had.
"A bill allowing special surveys to
be made of coal lands in Alaska was
passed by the house, but met defeat
in the senate, being objected to by
Senator Heitfeld as his last official act
as senator. There are from 10000 to
$4,000 acres Of coal lands in Alaska
which could be worked if special sur
veys were permitted to be made for
the location of the lands. This, how.
ever, would interfere with the coal
trade of some of the northwestern
states to that country, and this Is
given as the reason for the objection"

BEAUTIFUL STREET.
Proposed Parking and Paving Of
North Ninth.

The Forest Cemetery Association is
street from the corner of G avenue
north to the entrance of the cemetery.
The length of the proposed paving
is 1855 feet and the cost of the i'm
provement will be in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The association comes
forward as favoring the Improvement
with a donation toward this expense
of $3,000 and it is understood that an
other donation OF $1,000 will be forth
coming from another source to further
the improvement
The plan of the Iaving will make a.
sort of park of the street from the G
avenue end to the cemetery. The
paving will be in the form of a twelve
foot driveway on either side of a CEN
ter parking that will have a width Of
eighteen feet. Now and then the
parking will be broken by a cross
driveway for the accommodation Of
those not desiring to go the entire
length of the driveway. OF course
vehicles using the drive will have to
make strict observance of the rule to
keep to the right and the cross-overs
are built for the purpose of giving the
opportunity of more strictly observing
the rule.
1t is proposed that the parking be
cared for by the societies of the city.
For instance, the G. A. r. would keep
portion of the parking in order and
have charge of the flower beds, shrub
berry, trees and the like to be planted
in their portion Of the same. The
Masons would take another section,
the Kings Daughters another part,
and so on until the entire distance OF
the parking is cared for.
The plan has been shown a number
of people of the city and it meets with
the unqualified favor of all who have
seen it. The Cemetery Association
having donated almost third of the
total cost of the improvement and an
other donation being in sight, the to-
tai cost to the property holders along
the street will not amount to a great
sum Of money and the improvement
to abuttlng property and the attendant
increase in value will be worth more
that the cost of the paving. The mat
ter will be brought before the city
council at an early date and action
asked of that body.
The paving of this street should be
a matter of city pride. The street
could be made very beautiful and at
tractive, and the usefulness Of the
pavement is apparent to all. The
greater number of property holders
along the street who have been seen
concerning the improvement are in
favor of having the pavement, and
there seems to be no doubt but that
the Improvement will be made. Mr.
w. Esgen, of the association, has the
plan of the proposed paving and he
will be pleased to show the same to
any interested parties.

OFFICE CHANGES.
New Partnership Formed and Loca'
tons Moved.

Lou Shangle and F. e. Gordon have
formed a law merger and the name Of
the firm from henceforth will be
Shangle & Gordon. The office of the
new partnership will he in the Gibbs
building no North Market street,
where Mr.. Gordon has been located
for several years. The office Of the
Oskaloosa Building and Loan Associa-
ton has also been moved to the same
place and will have a room in the Of
fees. 1t was necessary for the remov-
al of the offices on account Of the re-
modelling of the Rhinehart building,
where the offices are now located.
Mr.. Shangle being the attorney for
the company, it was desired that the
headquarters of the association be as
near to his offices as possible, hence
they are placed just next door. The
moving of the big safe Of the company
from the second story of the Rhine,
hart building to the new location OF
the office was task of no mean pro-
portions. Tom Sewers took the con-
tract and successfully completed the
job Thursday. 1t was impossible to
get the safe up the somewhat narrow
stairway leading to the new offices,
and hence the big strong box had to
be taken in through the bay window
at the front of the Office rooms. The
safe was lifted straight up from the
sidewalk by means of block and tackle
and rigging planned for the occasion
by Mr.. Sewers and his men. 1t was
then pulled through the window with
comparatively little difficulty.

DROPS BOMB IN CAMP.
Solicitor Sewers Gives MARSHALL
town Straight Talk.

Solicitor George w. Sewers, appar-
entity with the knowledge and consent
OF the management of the Iowa Cen
trail Railway, dropped a bomb into the
Marshalltown camp yesterday, that
according to the Times-Republican
has created sensation IN our neigh
boring city. 1t came down during a
hearing before the Railroad Commits
sioners of Iowa,on proposition urged
by the city council ana people of Mar
shalltown, compelling the Iowa Cen
trail to build inexpensive viaduct over
its tracks on Center street. Mr..
Sewers suggested in no unmistakabie
terms that if Marshalltown proposed
to pursue policy Of greed and COM
pulsion toward the Iowa Central it
was not improbable that the railroad
machine shops might be moved to
some other more congenial location.
The Times-Republican calls Mr.. Seev.
ers' statements bluff" and goes on
to say:
General Solicitor George w.
Sewers, Of the Central, in his ad.
dress before the commissioners,
made several extravagant state
ments that will be looked upon
quite generally as big bluff. Mr..
Sewers had made the cost of the
viaduct the most important ques-
ton, in way, and in speaking of
the conditions in general said that
the question of safety to railroad,
employees and the railroads, as
common carriers, was of equal i'm
portance to that of the safety to
the public, which latter fact no
one has ever denied.
Mr. Sewers then saiG that the
pressing of the viaduct question
at this particular time was very
unfortunate as far as the Iowa
Central was concerned. Mr.Seev-
ers said that it was generally
known that the Central had be-
gun, and expected to continue
complete revision of it's line. This
revision involved the rearrange-
ment of yards at almost every sta.
ton. If the yiaduct were built on
Center street the road wouli
probably, in order to cut down
the cost, lessen the number of its -
tracks to two or three. The via.
duct at Center street might also
mean the relocation of the COM
pany's shops, which would have
to be rebuilt some time before
very long, because of the charac-
ter of the buildings and the fact
that they must be enlarged. LIZ
they had to be relocated it might
be that the company would find it
to it's advantage to place them at
some other station than Marshall
town. The matter of the shops,
he said, was something that the
company would take into serious
consideration, in reference to the
Center street viaduct."
When seen about the matter upon
his return home this morning, Mr..
Sewers told Herald reporter that he
did not care to go over the matter
again, or enlarge upon the intent OF
his remarks.
1.-THE words were uttered advisedly
and not without consideration" con-
tinued Mr.. Sewers. II was not bluff
fling, my services for the Iowa Central
Railroad Company are not of that ma
ture."
Mr.. Sewers is not a man to mince
words or make declarations that
may have to be retracted or amended.
When the people Of Marshalltown
grow to know him as well as the peo-
pie of Oskaloosa do, they will realize
the full Importance of his word.
