 The shippers are not solely to blame for the congestion now ex- isting in the Argenta yards. We want the cars. We are crying for the cars. We will unload them all. if we can get them" Asa R. Bragg, manager of the Mer- chants Freight Bureau, of this city.
 Attorney Tom McHoffey, of the Iron Mountain, dwelt upon the fact that the railroad com pany is doing all possible to move the business. He said all money than can be secured is being ex- tended in improvements.
 The commission did not make a ruling, but after the session it was stated that arrangements are under way for the entire com mission to visit Argenta, and to go over the yards of both com panies, and see for themselves, just what is going on. Pending this no order will issue.
 During the arguments the question of an additional freight house was discussed, and it de- veloped that Howard Bunch was supposed to be in St. Louis Mon

Literary Talk No. 5.

MT. Tompkins, how do you feel toward the movement for a public library for Prescott?" ask ed the News man of our distin- guished townsman, this morning.
 T favor it, conducted properly. Such an institution would be the means ofpromoting the welfareof our young men and adding con- siderably to the pleasures of the people generally
 What about a location, Mr. Tompkins?"
 Well, think the proper place for the building would be in the City Park. The town could easily afford to donate the ground necessary, and there would be on this acconnt a saving of several hundred dollars necessary for the purpose of the grounds elsewhere" /"
 "Couldn the town make a con- tribution to the fund.-"
 Yes, they could do it, but that would not be advisable for the reason that to. conduct a club room and library along proper lines, certain characters would necessarily have to be eliminated, and when you put the entire peo- ple's money into a thing of that kind you could hardly exclude anyone, however objectionable, from participation. No, let the contributions come direct from the people.
 also believe it would be well to have three or four rooms to be used as dwelling place for some elderly gentleman and wife, who should be employed to look after the institution, collect the dues, and see that everything was con ducted decently and in order" 7"

Expressions on Railroad Situation.

Little Rock, Oct. 8. 3.-Special- Below will be found some ex. pressions of prominent railroad officials and others, made at the meeting of the Railroad Commis- sion of Arkansas Wednesday af- ternoon, which are out of the or dinary, and are of considerable importance, as they indicate the manner in which Arkansas busi. ness is advancing.
 All railroads are too small. Thereis not enough power-there is not enough equipment to move the business of the country. Roads must have money with which to make improvements. With adverse Legislation this is hard to do'-Albert Bernardo, general superintendent of the Iron Mountain.
 Railroads would at this time be making more money if there was not such a great volume of business. In an effort to care for all the business offered the roads they are not able to move it with the speed to which the business world is accustomed Thomas S. Buzbee, Arkansas attorney for
