II Pine BIufflans are wise they will fill up their coal pins and wood yards before midnight, dig out their winter garments furs and heavy coats, for Jack Frost is hurrying this way, ac- cordin2 to information given out off ciallE today bX the weather man.

Members of thc Pine BlHt Board oI Trade Who are working SO diligently for improved waterways i'll this section Of the country, were pleased this morning to learn that Capt. Connors of the United States engineers office at Memphis. with jurisdiction over Tennessee and Ar kansas waterways, appeared before the house committee on rivers and harbors ill Washington yesterday to explain the needs of river improve ment in Arkansas Representative, Reid, Robinson and Macon were present at the hearing and fre- quently interrogated Mr. Connors on points they wanted emphasizad.
 During the day Capt Connors. among other things, endorsed the Robinson bill for snagging opera tons in the state. He thought 1000, asked for this purpose. a moderate request, and agreed that the Arkansas river from the mouth to Fort Gibson, l. T., should be improved, with view to establish all-year-round navigation between these points.
 He said he saw no need for the Red river levee district approprja- t1on, and recommended that the S3O, ,000 appropriation recently. made Tor this district, which has remain unexpended, revert to the treasury.
 Favors Experimental Dredging.
 He favors ex9erimentll dreay- Ing operations on the Arkansas river between Little Rock and the mouth of the river, and if these were successful, he would recon1- mend that a number of dredging boats be maintained in the river. lie greatly pleased his Arkansas listeners when he said he favored the use of the interest on S30O.G0O, the estimate for permanent inn provement of the river, in dredging operations. He said that the ir- terest on this money for two years at 4 per cent would supply the necessary boats for such operations, and thereafter would furnish fund which would very profitably be ex- pended in the improvement of the Arkansas river.
 The river and harbo' apDrOprja- tlon bill will probably be ready for report and be made public Friday. The Arkansas items will probably be known sooner.

 Alderman Nichol preferred to re fer the resolution to the water and light committee without it first be- ing adopted
 Attorney Caldwell objected to this procedure, stating that, in his Judgment, it would be necessary to give the water and light commit tee jurisdiction or power to make the necessary investigation and that the adoption of the resolution would be necessary to give the committee power He contended that the city council. if it wished to properly investigate the matter and give the citizens of Pine Bluff the relief asked for, ought to take the matter up at once without delay
 Alderman Jordan moved that the resolution be adopted. It was sec onded by Alderman Harvey Hudson and Alderman J. M. Hightower Alderman Boyce also urged immedi- ate action. The adoption of the resolution was the result.

By the adoption of a resolution ill which it declared that the pi,lc Bluff Light and Water oompenE was charging an eXorbitaEt rate for water to consumers, the city council .ast night fired tie first bomb in the investigation asl1el for by At torney Creed Caldwell, and other citizens some days ago.
 When Acting Mayor Fred Fox asked for a report from the commit tee on water and light, Doctor A. C. Jordan, chairman of the committee, stated that on account of pressing business, the committee found it impossible to hold a meeting un to that time, and asked for further time in which to make inquiry into the matter.
 Attorney Creed Caldwell. repre- senting the petitioners, asked to be heard, stating that he had the figures to show from other cities that the Pine Bluff Water company was charging from 25 to 75 per cent for water to local consumers more than that charged in other cities.
 After being given the floor At torney Caldwell presented rate sheets from Louisville, St. Louis and Cincinnati. The local rate sheets show that the Pine Bluff Wa ter company is at present making a meter charge of forty cents pes thousand gallons for water, while that of Cincinnati is approximately twenty cents per thousand gallons per year. St. Louis, for the same, is twenty-five cents per thousand gallons. Louisville's rate sheet was also shown The rate sheet of Gin cinnati shows that for siX-roon2 dwellings, water is furnished fer S4.30 per year, compared with a charge of s6 in Pine Bluff. The use of water for other conveniences shows similar difference.
 "It costs s2 to water horse in Pine Bluff and 75c in Cincinnati,' he said.
 After some discussion, the follow ing resolution was offered by Att torney Caldwell and adopted by a vote of the council, with the ex- ception of Alderman William Niehol, who voted against it:
 The Resolution.
 Whereas, A petition signed by more than five citizens and con- sumers of water has been presented to this council, charging that the rate or price charged by the Pine Bluff Water and Light company is exorbitant; and,
