next Wednesday or Thursday. They
will start from this end of the line and
work northward to same point on the
Rock Island railroad.
1t may require several preliminary
surveys before the road can be def
-nitely located, but the delay in getting
a final location for the new line will
be reduced to the minimum, so il is
stated, by the fact that Buchanan is
already pretty well acquainted with
the section OF territory through which
i. will pass.
z. c. Buchanan is well known in
the railroad circles of Arkansas, is a
man of wide experience and reputa-
ton, and is thoroughly competent. He
has formerly been employed in sim
lar capacity upon several other rail

three cities are all yet engaged in an
effort to induce Mr.. Gardner to To-
cate the plant in their midst, but it
would appear from the late real estate

recent rumors concerning his inten-
tons, that Pine Bluff will be the ia

still making strong bids for the plant.

Representatives of Mr.. Gardner

past closing up the late deal for the
timber land. The deal was consum-
mated through the real estate firm of
Houston and Howell of this city. and
adds another feather to the cap of
this enterprising concern.

In conversation with one leading
business man of the city, he said to
reporter for the Graphic Saturday:
Seldom has Pine Bluff been afford.
ed the opportunity of so great an ac-
Guisition to her industrial life than
that afforded in the present instance.
The location of this big plant here
means great things to the city COM
mercially, and Pine Bluff should have
the plant by all means. This city Of
fers the greatest advantages obtain

prise We have both the advantage of
location and of transportation facili
ties. More especially will we be bet
ter able to handle such an enterprise

row assured and this road will doubt
less have great hearing upon the sub
iec. With the requirement Of such
an industry. the city will take one Of
it's longest strides toward the 10000

ent inhabitants.
It is said that negotiations are now
pending for about 5000 more acres
of timber land near the land just pur
chased, and that the deal has been
practically closed.

ough investigation of the fire depart
ment muddle, and shall not throw one
stone in the way Of the city council
il, making it.
Such were the words of Fire Chief
Shultz to Graphic reporter Saturday
afternoon at late hour.
Chief Shultz thereupon pulled out of
his pocket big roll of bills and ex-
hlbted them to the reporter with the
statement:
81 have here enough money to pay
all my Indebtedness to the boys max
ing these charges against me. and am
ready to pay them Off as fast as they
come to me- I trust this will relieve
me of the imputation that am en-
deavoring to graft them in any way"
Later in the evening. Chief Shultz
settled up with Jesse Afford. one of
the boys involved in the trouble.
Afford and his associates state EN-
phatically that they will continue to
prosecute their charges against Shultz
and that they will demand of the city
council at its next meeting thorough
and searching inquiry into the cause
and manner of their discharge from
the service of the fire department. A
petition for this purpose will be pre-
sented to the council. and it is said
that it will be backed by the influ-
ence of some we'll known citizens
In an interview with Jesse Afford,
who is recognized as one of the lead
ers of the opposition to Chief Shultz
il the present embrglio. that gentle
man made the following statement
concerning the trouble:
II wish to say that the chadge Of
INSTRUMENTATION made against me was
only pretext on the part of the fire
chief. and that the real reason for my
discharge. l believe, lies in quite
different cause. Chef ShultZ has
owed me $3.50 for some time, and
when | began to press him for the
return of this money. he seized the
first opportunity presented to him of
letting me out. Had I not pressed
hin. for this money, I do not believe
[ would have been discharged Other
members of the company were let out
because of their sympathy with me in
my differences with the chief.
'There are two other members of
the company who participated in the
insubordination charged against me.
who are still at work. and the chef
has told one of them that he would
rot discharge him. no matter what he
said or did against him, SO AM told
II is strange that he should discharge
three men for the offense, and keep
the other two in his employ. This is
rot said in order to throw any of my
responsibility upon the shoulders ST
other men. but simply to emphasize
the fact that there is something rad
ically wrong somewhere. I ask again
why should three men be made the
scapegoats for five? No. there is
simply nothing in the charge of in
subordination whatever That was
not the reason for our discharge. If

LOOKS LIKE NEW DEPOT
CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN SIGNED RAILROADS. AND
WITH SLIGHT MODIFICATION S THE ACCEPT AND
ERECTED.

The members of the committee then
personally inspected the blue prints
and the specifications. and the OBJ
lection was at once raised that the
waiting rooms were entirely too small
to accommodate the crowds that
would patronize the two companies
using the building This objection
ELECTED prolonged controversy over
the subject. but the railway people
finally succeeded in convincing the
committee that the rooms were ample
for the accommodation of all the
patronage that would be afforded the
two roads for many years to ceme.
and the objection was passed over.
During the controversy, Architect
Gibbs made the statement that at first
he was laboring under misapprehen-
sion that the depot was not to be used
as union station at all, but merely
for the Iron Mountain road.
Then the objection was raised that
and this, too brought about another
long controversy and argument. The
matter of substituting cement for
marble in the wainscotting also arous-
cd the antagonism of the members
of the committee, and for some time
nothing else was discussed other
than these two subjects. When called
upon for an expression concerning
the matters, Architect Gibbs appeared
to take the side of the railroad comma
ny, as represented by Superintendent,
Tyler, in the contention that the train
shed would detract materially from
the architectural symmetry and beau
ty OF the building. He also stated
that cement wainscotting would ans
Wer the purposes Of the depot much
better than marble. He said that tho
marble would soon become scratched
and otherwise disfigured, and could
not be repaired, whereas the cement
could be readily repaired and made
to look as well as ever.
1t was finally agreed that all these
objections should be passed over un.
til Monday night, when a special ses-
sion of the city council should he
called together to take final action I'M
on the matter of signing or rejecting
the proposed contract AS will be
seen from the foregoing telegram to
Mr. Austin, the contract will not ar
rive here before Monday anyway.
Before adjourning, Superintendent
Tyler stated that while he objected to
substituting the marble wainscotting
Tor cement, and also objected to the
erection of train shed, and strongly
advised the committee against any
such recommendations, if the city
council at its session Monday night
should demand such alterations in the
present plans he was sure the two
companies would agree. In fact he
asked that he be wired the action Of
the council at once, and if such de-
II ands We're made he would, on be-
half of the two companies, accept
them at once by wire, without fur
ther parley.
Thus it becomes more patent that
a new depot of some kind will be
built, and that Mr.. Tyler has at last
come to the determination not to
waste any more time.

BIG BUGGY MANUFACTORY
BLUFF NOW HAS THE oPPo hTUN'rY SECURE
MovAL OF AN IMMENSE PLA Mt FROM
THE PLANT IS CONF NC TO ARkANsAs-EmPLoYs
PEOPLE.

Several days ago the Graphic re.
corded the fact of a big real estate
deal involving thousands of acres OF
ne oak timber land in Grant and
Cleveland counties and the transfer
If a large sum of money in considera-
lion of the timber values. 1t was stat
ed at the time that beyond the mere
fact of the DEAL and that ST. Louis
parties had acquired the land. no 9th
er particulars We're obtainable. ss-+-z
= It is now leaked out that the land
was purchased by Russell f. Gardner,
the famous buggy manufacturer of ST.
Louis, who has been negotiating for
the establishment of buggy factory
at this point The fact that the deal
for this big lot OF timber land has
been consummated leads to the belief
that there will be no further delay
i'll the establishment of the enterprise
here. In fact, it is now given out that
Mr.. Gardner will move his entire biG
st. Louis plant to Pine Bluff in the
near future. By the deal just closed.
he has acquired sufficient timber to
run the plant for years, and he will
doubtless make additional purchases
when the plant is removed to Pine
Bluff.
The land was owned by J. II. Shell
of Grant county and R. c. Wilkins OF
Little Rock, and was much bigger
transaction than at first announced.
Instead of involving but 1000 acres,
as at first stated, fully 10000 acres.
situated in both Grant and Cleveland
counties, was transferred to Russell
E. Gardner. The consideration was
81 per acre, or an aggregate OF $751;
600, instead of $4,000 as formerly
stated. This enormous acreage con-
tains. it is estimated. S5,OOOOOO feet
of timber suitable for the manufacture
OF vehicles, mostly oak. 1t is said that
Mr.. Shell of Grant county has spent
many years in accumulating his share
of the land, and has formerly refused
many tempting offers for it.
Russell f. Gardner's name has been
made famous through the entire
country by the extensively advertised
Banner" buggies, and is perhaps the
largest manufacturer of this special
lind of 1abio1o in tho world His St
Louis plant at the present time gives
employment to 300 workmen, ana II
is this plant that reports say will be
at once removed to this city. The
plant complete will cost 100000, and
will give Pine Bluff one of the strong
est industries in the state and the
strongest of its kind in the world.
For several months past there
lave been rumors of a proposed
change of location on the part OF the
Gardner plant from st. Louis, and 1t
was given out some time ago that
il the plant was changed it would IN
all probability come to some point
il. Arkansas, and naturally it would be
located in this section Of the state,
where the suitable timber supply is
most availbale. Several towns at once
began making efforts for the location
of the gigantic plant of the concern,
prominent among them being Pine
