DAVIS COUNTY
SUES RAILROAD
ASKS DAMAGES FROM ROCK IS
LAND FOR ALLEGED DEsTRuc-
TON OF BRIDGE

Alleging that because of the made
quacy of the waterway beneath a
bridge over Soap creek, the property
Of the defendant company, that bridge
was washed out, and carried away with
it a bridge belonging to the plaintiff,
Davis county has filed suit in the
Office of the clerk of Wapello county
asking ST ,aS19S damages.
The petition OF the plaintiff states
that some ten or twelve years ago the
county built a wagon bridge over Soap
creek along the roadway between Flor
is and Laddsdale. 1t also says that the
defendants track chooses Soap creek a
few hundred feet up the stream above
the county's bridge. Originally the
road built and maintained bridge and
trestle work about 70 rods in length
allowing this open space for the pas
sage of the water flowing in the creek
The plaintiff claims that this space
was necessary for the unhindered pas
sage Of the water. Some years later,
however, states the petition, the rail-
road company filled in and around the
trestle work reducing the passage way
for the water to one about 250 feet in
length. About two or four years ago
the company, it is alleged, In order to
strengthen the bridge, put in piiing and
timber, in such numbers and of such
size as to very materially obstruct the
passage way still remaining.
Flood Destroys Bridge.
The petition alleges that these condi-
| tons existed on June 8, 1905 and eX-
listed through the negligence of tn de-
PENDANT. The plaintiff claims that at
this time heavy rain fell, swelling
the stream to unusual proportions. Al
SO, it is stated, the stream brought
down with it a large quantity of debris
| and drift which lodged against the al
legged obstructed opening.
! Finally, it Is claimed, the railroad
| bridge gave way, and the food, piline
and timbers We're hurled down against
the county's bridge, causing its de.
struction.
And it is further claimed that the
| banks on each side of the bridge were
washed out so that a bridge 16 feet
rlonger than the original was made
necessary.

BUTTS CONHICTION.

The conviction of Senator F. o. Butt for bribery, following the conviction of Representative Geo. F. Chapline for conspiracy to bribe. is healthful episode in Arkansas history. It marks the beginning of the end of legislation by boodling in Arkansas. Ru- mors and open charges of corrup- ton has come with increasing in sistence with the meeting of every legislature. It had almost come to the pass that no legislation, either good or bad, could be effect ed until certain lobby ists were seen" Things will be different in the future. The fear of certain disgrace. political death and prob able terms i'll the penitentiary, will have potent influence in pro- tecting our legislators against the baleful influence of the willy bood- Ter. The lesson of Butt is worth an infinite amount of good to the state.
 Senator Butts case is a pitable one. Though the Supreme court may set aside the verdict of the lower court, though me may even tually be pardoned and never be forced to wear the stripes of dis grace. yet he has been punished. His once bright future is sirretriev- ahly ruined. It seems hardly just, too, that he should be made to suffer thus, while the conspira- tors of his downfall have escaped punishment. But their time will come.

No matter what price Arkansas farmers receive tor their cotton this year, they will have the con- solation of having raised more corn perhaps than ever before in the history of the state. A Agovern- ment bulletin issued last week shows the condition of the corn crop in this state the best in any state in the union-ninety seven per cent. An immense amount of money goes out of our hands every year to buy feed which might as we'll be raised at home. But this year most of our farmers will have corn to sell.

It means for him at least three fnan- cial benefits: A reduction of the cost of his insurance, a lessening of danger of loss from fire, and an increase in the value of his proper ty which would naturally follow the installation of waterworks. The property owners who live here would reap these advantages, and at the same time have more healthful town in which to live.

 1 have made one trip to the ln- dian Territory since came to Texas. l went by way of Denison to Rolf and stayed two days with Lucien Holloway, who lives five miles north of Rolf, at Fitshugh. Mir. Holloway has fine crop and likes the Territory fine. l went from there to Wapannucka and stayed two days with our old friends, J. N. Walton and sons. Emory showed me the surrounding country and the wonderful springs with which that country abounds Messrs. Walton & Sons have a double store, dry goods on one side and groceries on the other. MT. Walton is in fine health and seems to like the country splendid ly. I went from there to Mans vile and spent two days with Doc tors C. H. and Henry Voris, at which place found the best corn country ever saw, with other crops all doing we'll. This part of the Chickasaw nation is simply fine, being a red sandy soil free from mud and fine for any crop that can be grown anywhere. Dr. Voris and myself went out to the Washata river and saw as fine corn as ever grew in the Arkansas river bottom. Dr. C. H. Voris & Son have a nice practice and the Doctor says his pay is good. Mrs. Voris likes Evansville fine, so she says, and l can't see any reason why she should not for she certainly has a nice home. l went from there to Madill, which town is on a black waxey and black sandy prairie, much the same kind of soil as where l am in Texas. The land in the Indian Territory is not on the market yet, as the restric tions have not yet been removed. Only occasionally tract can be had, and such places are not usual ly.very desirable, consequently the country is unimproved and unset tied, One does not see there fruits and vegetables being marketed over the towns as they are here in Texas. We are besieged by all kinds of peddlers who usually come from a sand-be about four miles south of town with melons, vegetables and fruits of almost any variety, including a very inferior grade of apples. I bought six large watermelons and had them delivered for twenty-five cents I told my wife if had those mel ons in Conway I could easily get a dollar for them.

Some people are inclined to re- gard the money that would be re- quired to construct a system ot waterworks i'll this city as an ex- penditure, instead of investment. They fail to take into considera- tion the fact that every dollar spent on this improvement would be fully "a dollar-if not much more-added to the value of the property of this city. It is not difficult to demonstrate this fact. Investigation of every city that has installed waterworks will prove 1t.
