Devine, Texas, December 31.-- Dear Ed. News: As the Loaf CTS Club has adjourned for the holidays so each me mber could once more, for few days at least, exercise his American freedom, providing he does not come in contact with some one else's freedom and get i'll collision with the town health affairs, felt that now would be good

design has been sent to d number of manufacturer for an estimate as to the cost of the machinery, etc. There will be two sets of engines and boilers, so that in case one gives way for any reason the other will be ready for ser vice, and the plant will be com plete and up-to-date in every particular and second to none in this section. Should the plant be built, 1t Is the intention of kimmonS. Walker X Co. to let the contract to some manufactur- ing company to furnish the machinery and erect same ready 1 for running. So 1t will be seen that the promoters of the enter prise are pushing ahead with their end of the work, and there remains nothing now in the way but the guarantee of patronage, when dirt will begin to fly on the construction. Geo. ". Randall, local manager for the Northwest Arkansas Lumber Co.,, has secur- ed thirty days leave from his work, and this week began an active canvass among the fruit growers surrounding Springdale III order to learn definitely just how much storage they will agree to take. Now let everybody lay hold and help, and thls enterprise, the biggest that has presented itself in the history of the town, will be secured. With this, 1t also means electric lights and waterworks at no distant day, and with these things no power or earth can stop Springdale.
 w. E. Simpson, one of Washington County's representa- lives in the lower house of the general assembly, left Wednes- day morning for Little Rock. The other house members are
 
 ]. B. Mayes and K. ". Morrow and the senator IS J. ". Thonp- son. Messrs. Mayes and Morrow are without legislative experience, this being their first term, but Mir. Simpson has served one term and Mir. Thompson has served one term in the house and one Tn the senate. Mr.- Mayes left for Little Rock Tuesday, NIT. Morrow Wednesday and Mir. Thompson yesterday. The News did not have an opportunity to talk with any of the representatives but Mr. Simpson,, and does not know just what legislation they have Ill view. Among the measures of local interest to the people of Washington County which Mir. Simpson will endeavor to get through will be a law to provide for county depository Tn order that the funds of the county may bring Tn some revenue, and a law to place the county treasurer on d salary. He has also been re- quested by number of people of the county to introduce general stock law, and If he finds there IS sufficient demand for It will do so. These are all measures which The News believes will be approved by a majority of the people of the county MT. Simp- son also stated that If 1t was the wish of the people of Springdale he would introduce bill requir- ing passenger trains and I to stop in Springdale. It occurs to The News that the Citizens League, through its officers, should take up the question with the railroad people and see If they cannot be induced to stop these trains here, especially Nc. I, north bound, and then If they will do nothing appeal to the legislature.

building, and one from the Farmers and Merchants Bank to the Arcade Hotel. They are con- siderably higher than tie level of the street, which will necessi- tate the street being graded up to the crossings.
 W. H. Kelso IS cndeavoring to organize company to bore for gas or oil. He has had large eX- perience III mining and believes that by going deep enough we can find something here that will prove of much value to the town and surrounding countrv. It is worth the effort, anyway, and 1t IS to be hoped that NIT. kelso will succeed.
 John Woodruff, who eontem- plated going to Houston, Texas, to travel in that state for tea and coffee company, has recon- sidered, and, The News IS glad to say, will remain in Springdale. He has accepted position with the Fort Smith Wholesale Grocery Company and made his first trip Saturday. His territory is in this state, north of Van Buren.
 Joe Roberts came in Tuesday from San Francisco to spend a few days visiting with relatives and friends. He is engaged in the cigar business in San Fran cisco and his brother Don IS working for him. Len Roberts Is railroading. Joe IS well pleas ed with that country and thinks young mans opportunities are considerably greater there than here.
 Mrs. Della Pierce and daugh- ter. who had been visiting rela- tiVes in this locality, returned this week to their home at Stroud, Oklahoma. Mrs. Pierce 
 and sister, Mrs. Will Phillips. re- turned Saturday from Gentry, where they had been visiting relatives. They went over on the Rogers Southwestern. but as the train was wrecked they made the return trip overland.
 About a dozen new outside students entered school here this week and about the same number last week. Quite a number of those who have entered since the holidays are teachers whose schools closed the first of the year. All these students were secured without solicitation, com ing here simply from knowledge of the reputation of the school. As man remarked the other day, If the people of Springdale would manifest as much interest in the school ard work for 1t as they do for some other things, one of the best schools in the country could be built up here. And good school always makes a good town. This IS always the case.
 C. F. Renner wanted to make business trip over on the North Arkansas road Monday, but as the cannon ball was late decided to wait until Tuesday morning and go to Fayetteville and catch the early morning train north, which isn't on speaking terms with Springdale. After reach- ing Fayetteville he learned this train was four hours late, so he caught the first train home and made another start on his journey Tuesday afternoon. This Is an illustration of son1e of the things Springdale business men have to contend with as result of the railroad officials refusing to stop two of their passenger trains here. Mir. Renner is secretary of the Citizens League. and here Is an opportunity for him to do a little missionary work.
