POWELL PUSHING
 COTTER'S CLAIMS.

That Cotter is getting a great deal of free advertising and has been for some time is no concern of neighbor towns and a matter they have no reason to object to, but rather is this evidence of thrift and progress to be con- mended.
 But why should railroad off, cials countenance and encourage the dissemination of information that over-reaches the truth and is positively misleading? For instance, a Little Rock paper l this week in an interview with Right-of-Way Agent W. V. Pow ell gave it out under big head lines that while he did not know (mark that) where the Spring field extension would strike the White River road, it was set tied fact that Jefferson City, Springfield, Cotter and Little Rock would be freight division points and Jefferson City, Cotter and Little Rock passenger divis- ion terminals.
 Keep your eye on Cotter, which is TT in cap letters, going or com ing by passenger or freight. As Powell very truthfully says, it is not yet known where the Spring field paper road that has as yet only a map existence will strike the White River road, then why give it out flat that Cotter gets the division and make the next one the preposterous distance of 207 miles?
 Where does Newport come in, seems very pertinent. With Cotter 124 miles away it doesn't t look just right to ante-over us for an additional 83 miles to Lit tie Rock.
 The way to get official adver- Using in the sense of coming from officials is to donate a few lots to these men who abuse a newspaper interview and talk for their only personal gain in boosting a town where they have property interests.

Appropriation Secured.

A committee of fifteen, of which Mr. EN-
cry was chairman, was appointed to urge
this measure before the commissioners and
before the congressional committees having
charge of District affairs This movement
bore fruit in the next appropriation bill
March g. 1850, which set aside the Wash
ington School Fund" amounting to $70,-
$50. A. for the erection of the Washington
(now the Central) High School. 1t is of in
terest to note that the Washington School
Fund" had come into existence many years
before through a government lottery and
had been for some years trust fund in the
hands of the municipal authorities Of Wash
ington with authority to devote the interest
to school purposes. The appropriation of
$40, GOAT together with an addition of
81 500 was used In the erection Of the main
20 street, wing of the present Central
building. An enrolment of over twelve hun
dred pupils, with resulting halliday" ses-
sions for both first and second year pupils,
I, necessitated an appropriation March 2,
1880 OF $4,000 for an addition to the build
ing tthe 7th street wing, which was ready
for use in January, 1885, Consequently the
Central High School, exclusive of the
ground on which 1t stands has cost to
erect SIP, 130.47. 1t Is a three-story and
basement red brick structure with approx
mately thirty recitation rooms, three large
study halls on the first ad second floors,
and on the third floor laboratories, drawing
rooms and an assembly hall which will seat
about $50 pupils.
