 It is not the intention of the com pany to ask any big bonus of Little Rock. In case of trouble in securing right of way into the city. the Board of Trade will probably be call ed on to assist. All that will be ask Cd ot the people who will be benefit ted by the road over the route se- lected will be right of way. No serious trouble is anticipated in this respect however, for with pos sibly few exceptions all concern ed are in entire sympathy with the proposed improvement and will aid the good work in every possible way.

Stations will be established at frequent inter- vals and We hope to do big busi- ness The road will traverse the rich est part of Arkansas for a distance of about 55 miles, which at presen hoo NSAy pOOl LI d AS l'CI ldLIOIl IdtII- 'ities, and we believe will mako tlis a paying proposition.
 Negotiations for the electric road have been under way for some time, and the filing Of the charter makes the project almost an assured thing The company has stock to the amout of $25,0OO which will be for sale. Harvey, Fisk and Company of Chicago have taken charge of the bonds.. It is now up to the people, and if they want the road they can get it.
 The construction of this line will add very materially to the growth and development of the territory covered. Far better facilities will be offered the people than formerly and it will be of inestimable value.
 While 1t is almost a certainty that the line will traverse the north side of the river this matter will not be definitely deci.'ed until after the surveys are mi de.
