Fine Bluffs transportat on facili- ties, probable and possible, are just HOW attracting he attention of the whole state, and also the closest in- crest of numerous capitalists through. ought the north and east. The city is just now the center of energy in
 railway building in Arkansas. and the numerous projects set forth be- fore the publ in recent months have served the purpose of turning all eyes Pine Bluffward. for the building of these proposed roads means the de- velopment of wealth of resources which have long laid dormant, and the opening of vast opportunities for the investment of capital, which is ever seeking profitable investment, where soever it may be found. Given the proper inducements, there will be no trouble in securing those advantages which this city should by right of it's resources have.
 It now looks at this early stage of development, as if this city would have even greater transportation fla cilities than at first appeared. The building of certain proposed railroads into Pine Bluff would have within themselves certain indusputable ad- vantages that the town cannot be overlooked; yet at the same time the advantages from their construction do not stop at the direct good they will bring The indirect results are equally as great, if not greater, and it is evident now that the city is to have better railway connections than the people of the city have heretofore believed.
 The announcement that the corps of surveyors now at work locating the route of the line north of the city to a connection with the Rock Island, brings with it the assurance that the promoters of tn s new line are earn estly at work on the project they have in mind, and there is no longer any room to doubt that the road will be built. The Pine Bluff North and South road was made possible by the county commissioners court at it's last sesison, when that body voted to erect a wagon and foot and rail- way bridge across the Arkansas river at tn S point. Without this assist ance on the part of the county the building of the new railroad, which is backed so far exclusively by local cap i1al would have been a most difficult task, owing to the enormous task in- volved in building a railroad bridge across the river. The road will ex- tend but about fifty miles at the most and the expense of building the bridge was too great for the mileage of the proposed line. Relieved of this ex- pense by the county commissioners. every hindrance was removed from the plans of the company promoting the road, as it is understood that the promoters have ample capital now back of them for the roads construc- tion. This new line, which will be an independent one in every respect, affording connection with the great Rock Island system north of here, gives the city competing line and opens a broader territory for local iobbers and buainess men generally. It is known that the building of this road will bring into this city thous- ands of bales of cotton that now go elsewhere.
 The construction of the northern r2'.+e means also the construction of :, the line south of here to the Leuisi-

THE r1ANY ADVANTAGES
TO GAINED THE BUILDING PROPOSED
 

ana line This is the road proposed by the Southern Development com pany, and it's construction is believed to be entirely dependent upon the completion of the northern route to the Rock Island The southern line will add another vast stretch of coun- try to Pine Bluffs trade territory Thus will the city have a through line from Rock island and Memphis to the Louisiana line, which, in the natural course of events, may be ex- rected, in time, to form another trunk line, under one management.
 But this is not all. Between Hot Springs and Mena lies stretch of territory which has long been strang- CT to the whistle of the locomotive, given up to the bowling wolves and the primitive Arkansan in all his na- tlven ss. After so long t'me this stretch of territory is to be traversed by a line of railway connecting Hot Spr ngs with the lines of the Kansas City Southern railway. and affording ;,n outlet to the gulf at Port Arthur The road 1las been long in the build ing. The project was first abandoned after a few miles had been construct ed, but recently the Kansas City Southern purchased it and it is now understood that that road will be completed and used as a feeder to fectly clear. Pine Bluff is already connected with Hot Springs by the Pine Bluff and Western and the con- pletion of the Mena line will give this city through connection with the Port Arthur route, affording still an other competing line.
 Railroad building in Pine Bluff re- ceived it's greatest impetus from the action of the enterprising members of the present county levying court, when that body voted to con- struct the bridge over the river here. That action has made possi- ble greater results to the future of Pine Bluff than anything that has ever been done by any county com misisoners' court in the whole his tory of the county; and the construc- tion of that bridge is being awaited with anxiety by the great majority Of the people of Jefferson county, and particularly of Pine Bluff.
 All these advantages mean some- thing. Just all they mean would be difficult of computation, but one can readily see many of the advant- ages. Given the transportation ia cilities now proposed for the city, scores of new enterprises would be attracted here by the exceptional ad- vantages offered, and hundreds, even thousands, of people would follow in their wake. It means that Pine Bluff would quickly realize her fondes1 desires for making of herself a great southern metropolis, railway and manufacturing center of magnitude in the commercial world, fourishing municipality that would soon take precedence over all other cites in the state of Arkansas, just as she now gives every promise of doing. And why should she not? She has every possible advantage now, except the proper transportation facilities. With the requirement of these, which are now practically assured, nothing can hinder her future progress. Backed as she is by the greatest and richest natural resources in all the state, sne lacks only the facilities for hand

was conclusive proof that some or the

Record Shattered Again.

That much-sought-for record for an auto
mobile run from Santa Barbara to Los An
geles, Cal, has again been shattered, 81
minutes having been clipped from the for
mer mark by w. E. Dewey. driving forty
horsepower car. His time for the rec
ord ride Is four hours and four minutes.
The run, besides being one of the fastest
dashes ever made in southern California,
was made without serious mlshap. the big
car taking the hills and valleys in perfect
shape, while booming along at a high rate
of speed. Dewey, who drove the car, Is one
of the most daring of drivers. and much of
the success of the trip was due to his dar-
ing, and likewise his good Judgment,

Beach Racing the Safest.

Beach racing bids fair to become very
popular now that speeding on tracks has
come to an end because motor cars have
grown too fast for the turns. Although not

in Florida, the stretches of beach that have
come to light at Cape May and Atlantic
City, on the coast of New Jersey. afford
every opportunity for fast work win
power-driven machines without the dangers
that are present on the road and track.
The beach at Cape May is about two and
a half miles long and affords good mile
stretch with a slight turn and an excellent
kilometer dash. Over it an automobile has
travelled a mile in 80 seconds. which has
only twice been excelled, and then only on
the beach at Ormond
A trife more than three miles of good
beach is supplied at Atlantic City. which
gives a little longer start, although all
races on it are limited to a kilometer or a
mile. At both places there is about 2}O
feet of riding surface at low tide, and the
beach is so hard that only a slight impress
sion is made when heavy cars pass over 1t.
Both the beaches are two or three seconds
slower than Ormond. whose fourteen-mile
course is composed largely of coquina clam
Shells which, when mixed with sand and
water form a sort of cement that is proof

Price of Gasoline
Observation-Disclosures
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, September ia rumor
to the effect that the price Of gasoline will
be raised in the immediate future has
caused some stir and quite little discus
sion among Automobiles. A recent inter-
view with the departmental head of the
largest producing corporation in the world
reveals no cause for alarm. There is now
on hand a greater supply Of motor gaso-
line than at any corresponding time last
year. On May % last the wholesale price
was reduced to IL cents per gallon. A
point not generally known to the average
consumer is that only certain brands of
crude oil will produce gasoline. which is
known to the trade at various degrees OF
density as naphtha. The Texas and Cali
fornia oil yields no naphtha, and the bulk
Of the supply in this country comes from
the wells in Ohio and Pennsylvania, with
the latter yielding by far the larger percent
age. The finer the grade of naphtha the
less the amount obtainable from given
qauntity of crude oil. There is a general
impression among men driving 4notor cars
that only the very best grades are fit to be
used. Experiments have recently been
made in which the heavier quality mas been
found to do by far the better work. espe-
cially for commercial purposes.
