K. (. 5. RAILWAY
 HOSPITAL
A New Site Selected and Purchased : Every Obstacle Overcome and It
 Will Be Built.

It having been recently ascer- taiued aud definitely decided that the city of Mena could not give a satisfactory title to Stilwell park tor the purpose of erecting the proposed railway hospital there on, those having the matter in charge at once made investiga- tions and selected new site.
 The site chosen is in the north western portion of the city com prisipg two entire blocks, Nos. ? and }, in the original town ot of Mena, little closer in than the site selected for the sanito- rum,
 The round knob or peak, often called the "potato hill," is on one of those blocks, No. 2, and the purpose is to utilize this for a park and observatory for the use and pleasure of convalescent pa tients, as 1t is 10S feet higher than the court house block and IS covered with beautiful forest trees.
 The hospital will be located on block } upon foot hill or eleyat- ed tract south of the little moun- tain, giving 1t a commanding view from all portions of the city aud is an ideal place for such an institution, far superior to Slil. well park in many respects.
 This site was purchased from Messrs. Cardwell & Shrewsburv, who generously named a price of only $750, and now that the deed has been made to so elegant a site, the title being perfect, work will commence as soon as the architects plans are completed and contracts let, as previously outlined in the Star.
