ESTABLISHING TRACK z
 OF IRON, MOUNTAIN.

The work of reballasting the main line of the Iron Mountain from Texarkana to St. Louis, is rapidly nearing completion. The work began some time ago, and has progressed with rapidity, and it is now thought that it will be finished within the month, at which time the shovels which have been used at the gravel pits on the Ouachita at Philadelphia, will be sent to the White River road, where a great amount of grading is being done. The Iron Mountain main line has been one of the best in the country for some time, and the work which has been done on it recently has been in the nature of repairs rather than new work. This part of the line is fast becoming known as the A'Dustless Line," from the fact that the roadbed is covered with gravel, from which it is impossible for dust to rise.

RECEIVER REMOVED;
 GRATING CHARGED.

Fort Smith, Ark, October 12. Chancellor Bourland fined Ed. Haglin 1925 for contempt of court and removed him as one of the receivers of the Fort Smith Build ing and Loan Association for malfeasance in office. Haglin is a man of considerable wealth, having large and valuable real estate interests. The association of which he was one of the three receivers held a lot which it was desired to sell. The price asked was S900. Haglin placed it in the hands of Lavenue & Lowry for sale, informing them that it should be readily disposed of for S1, ,000, $900 of which could be turned over to the receivers, and the balance could be divided be- tween Lavenue & Lowry and himself. The other two receiv- CTS had to sign the deed, and thus detected the graft. Haglin says his offer was a joke.

A rumor was current in this 4city Wednesday night, says the Little Rock Gazette, that the Gould special had been wrecked near Wynne, Ark, and President Gould injured. The report, on investigation, was found to be without foundation, as MT. Gould is not in this state at present, and will not leave St. Louis until Friday. Just what route the party will take from St. Louis is not known, as MT. Gould in his tours over the lines has no defi- mite routing, and may change his plans at a moments notice. At any rate his visit to this city and that of his sister, Miss Helen Gould, will not be many days apart.

PINE BLUFF FACES
 SERIOUS WATER FAMINE.
Board of Health Condemns Water Forced From River Without Being Filtered as Cause
 of Much Sickness.

Pine Bluff, Oct. 12. The city of Pine Bluff has been facing the serious problem of a water fam inc, due to the failure of the Pine Bluff Light and Water Com pany to supply pure water to the, citizens. Physicians state that much of the sickness that is pre- valent in this city is due to the impure water which the people have been compelled to use, and the board of health has taken &C., tion on the matter, condemning the water furnished by the water company of late as unfit for use. The city council has employed an expert engineer to examine the water pumped through the pipes of the water company, and this engineer will report to the next meeting of the council.
 Manager Fowles of the water company states that the compa- ny has been practically helpless on account of the breaking of two of the deep wells of the com pany. He has been instructed by his board of directors to have another well dug, but cannot get this we'll into commisson in less than four weeks. The water that is being pumped through the pipes is said to be river wa ter, unfiltered, and as such the council, the board of trade and the board of health have passed measures to condemn it. Mana ger Fowles denies that river wa ter is being used, except in fire alarms, when the fire hydrants are opened. Everywhere the citizens are complaining, and in many cases of sickness people are suffering because they can not get pure water to drink.
