There wereno changes in the per

rectories of the companies. The
policy of the railroad company for
the year 1904 has not been deter

"a brief visit Is the new village Of
Aurora on Monday found that lat.
lestscandidates for fayors enjoying q:
winter rest, in common with other
range communities, but living in
bright expectation of what the.
coming season ma bring. : 81. s*
At present there Is no work at the
mines in the vicinity, aside from a
very small crew at the Miller and:
an exploratory crew working on.
Longyear lands in section 8, but the.
Twohey-Killeen company have two
large sets Of lumber camps short
distance from the town employing
about five hundred men. !.
At the Miller mine Of the Pitt
Iron Mining Co., the shaft was s,,nk:
to the ore, body at a depth of 22O
feet before the close.of the season,
and the property is in shape for.
quick underground development to-
make of it shipping property.
During the winter large O0horse~
power marine tubular boiler will
be set and a complete hosting
plant installed, placing the mine in
condition for active work in the
spring.
1t is also the expectation of citi-.
zens that the Meadow mine, D. T.
Adams property, will be opened
shortly, while drill work on section
3 is said to be proving the existence
of the third ore body within the viii
lage limits. In addition to these
mines are the Donora and Stephens,
both controlled by the steel corpo-
ration, in proximity to the village,
giving the new town a substantial
mineral backing.
At the present time the village
comprises five saloons, one large
general store, and several hotels
and other places, but the people
look for decided increase in the
spring with the opening and active
work of the mining properties in
the vicinity.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. II is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi .
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain 3
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or FROM an attack Of
influenza grip, and It has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands Of cases In which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip In recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no dan.
ger is apprehended until II is suddenly
discovered that there is fever and diff
Guilty in breathing and pains In the
chest, then 1t is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe
side and take Chamberlain 3 Cough
Remedy as soon ~ the cold is contract
ed. 1t always cures. For sale at John
o Kane 8 drug store.

Gould Calls a Halt.
From the Fort Smith Times

From the Fort Smith Times.
On Saturday George Gould personally
issued orders for the stoppage Of all i'm
provement work along the entire No.
Pacific system and caused CONSERVATION
along the various branches going to
make mp that system. All extra gangs
have been ordered discharged and all
steam shOvels put out of service. Gen.
Manager Cotter passed through the city
on Sunday on his way west, and was
here for couple of hours. He verified
the report regarding the stoppsge of all
work, but said that he could not give any
explanation of the sudden suspension of
activity along the system. Supt. Tyler
made flying visit to Van Buren, Satur-
day and remained but short time when
he returned to Little Rock. Mike Wal
lace, who was with Mr.. Cotter during
the latter's visit here Sunday, says that
he failed to learn the cause of the stop
page order. and that he was given to
understand no more improvement work
would be done until Mr.. Gould saw fit
to loosen up.

Road Overseer Simons has been doing
some good work on Picket Hill In cut.
ting it down, but. TO 4 certain extent.
has pursued poor policy in disposing
OF the material exosvsted. AS Is gcner
ally well known to reduce the grade on
that hill 1t will be necessary to fill at the
bottom as well rs cutting off the top.
When Mr. Simmons began this work he
came to Street Commissioner Pernot
and offered to fill at the bottom II the
city would pay him for 1t Mr.. Pernot
informed him that there was no funds
available for that purpose. The corpora
ton line extends TO the foot Of the hill =.
let it be understood Mr.. simmons may
mean we'll. but he should be made to
understand that Van Buren, property
holders pay fully one-half IL not more
of the special road tax 10 this township
which towns in many other counties
have done and which has been awarded
them, of the tax collected Therefore by
doing the needed work at the foot Of
that hill, the benefit OF which will go
to the farmers compelled to use 1t, he
would be using only small portion of
the money, which by rights belongs to
Van Buren,. Beside what Improvement
has heretofore been made on this hill
has been done with funds furnished by
private subscription by the business men
of Van Buren-snother reason why Mr.
Simmons should not act "dog-in-the-
manger. The people Of Van Buren,
aside from cheerfully paying this special
road tax, tax themselves In addition for
street improvement, something our
friends in the country are not compelled
TO to do,
There being no road commissioner
Judge Gross should see that this work
is done AS it should be.
