New School Building
 Planned for Springdale.

F or some time past 1t has been apparent to the school board that more room must be provided If the children of Springdale school district We're to be given the accommodations they are just ly entitled to. But just how to secure more room has been a problem to the board, as the dis trlet has no money on hand with which to erect d new building or add on to the old ones. It has been suggested by some that no school be held for a year or two and use the money for building purposes. But itis realized that this would be little short of d public calamity, depriving child ren of school privileges who have no other means of securing an education, and 1t would also have a tendency to drive people away from the town instead of attra ct- ing them to 1t.
 After discussing the matter thoroughly from every stand point, the board has hlt upon the plan of borrowing money and erecting good school building, one that will be q credit to the town and that will answer the needs of the district for years to come. With this in view, our representatives in the general as- sembly have been requested by the board to secure the passage of bill authorizing the district to do this, and the bill has al- ready passed the senate.
 Although no definite plans have been adopted 1t IS the idea of the board to sell the grammar school grounds, tear down the building on these grounds and also the high school building, and erect on the site of the Ia tier d building large enough to ac- eommodate all the children Tn the district, using what material K available III the new build ing. By consolidating the buildings mach better and

more creditable building can be erected for the same money, and by having the school centralized m one building in can be run much mure economically and more satisfactory in many ways. Another reason for such change IS that the grounds of the gram mar school are not sufficiently large to accommodate the pupils who are forced to go there. During the recess and noon hour they overflow the grounds and out into the street, and all will admit this IS not as 1t should be.
 The high school grounds are the finest to be found iu the state. They are high, nicely located, and are large enough for all purposes. With good building, such as the board has m view, on these grounds Spring dale would have something that would be worth more to the town than possibly any other sin gle enterprise. And the board hopes to get such building erected and equipped for the opening of school next fall.
 The plan of borrowing money for building purposes is no new thing in school affairs. It has been done, and IS being done, all over the state. Siloam Springs people have just completed ar engagements for borrowing S25, ,OOO with which to erect public school building, and Rogers is working along the same line. At both these places there are good denominational schools. whereas Springdale has nothing but her public school. which is all the more reason why we should strive to increase the ef- fie1eney of the school we have.
 Now let everybody in the dis triet lend hand in this under taking and help push 1t through. 1t should not be allowed to die out like other enterprises that have been talked of for the town.

Farrar says he retires from the retail business because of the worry incident to the conduct of such business. He feels that he can invest his money in en- terprises that will not require such close attention and at the same time bring profte ble re- turns.
 Asked as to the secret of his success, MT. Farrar said the only secret he knew was strict atten- tion to his business. He has made 1t study and has given 1t the closest attention. He Is not much of a believer in vacations, does not hunt, fish or indulge in any of the little recreations of the ordinary business man. He says his idea all along has been to make what money he wanted and then take things easy and enjoy sure enough vaca- tlon. MT. Farrar has no expen- sive habits.

POUCH STOLEN
 AT FAYETTEVILLE.

On Friday night some thief or thieves took the mail pouch that came Ill on the the 10:30 train from the depot and carried 1t away. A telescope was taken at the same time from the trucks on the platform. A search has been kept up and this morning the telescope and about 200 letters were found in an ice car at the stockyards. All the registered mail had been taken and all let ters that looked suspicious of having money in them were talk en. About 5000 in checks on the McIlroy Banking Co.,, and a large number of checks on other banks were found open among the letters, the thief, of course being afraid of taking any chances on collecting checks. About S70O of unsigned currency for the National Bank of Fayetteville has been shipped from Washing ton and as II has not arrived the supposition is that the package in which It was enclosed was taken with the other registered mail. Inspector Bassett of Fort Smith arrived this morning and is making an investigation. So far no clue has been discovered and the letter pouch has not been found. Fayetteville Daily.

A Successful Business NJ an.

n OuSCcSSlul DuSlUcSS M dR.
 Probably w. T. Farrar has been the most successful busi- ness man Springdale has ever known, and just at this time a brief history of his career will nc doubt be interesting to many readers of The News.
 Mr. Farrar was one of nine children born to Junius and Cath rlne Farrar, and first saw the light of day December 2, 1850, two and half miles north of Elm Springs. His life on the farm was not different from that which falls to the lot of the av- craze Arkansas farmers boy. He worked on the farm and att tended the country school at in- tervals until he was g years of age. Believing there were bet ter opportunities for him in the mercantile business than on the farm, Ill 1880 he went to Elm Springs, and with Pen Reed and Frank Wasson began business under the firm name of Farrar, Reed X Wasson. Their stock consisted of general merchant disc, and they had about $500 invested. After remaining here for two and d half years, and feeling that he wanted d larger field, March 2, 1883, Mr. Far Tar came to Springdale and ae- cepted position as clerk in the mercantile establishment of P. McGannon at d salary of S25 per month. When NIT. Earrar came to Springdale his total assets were. $500. He worked for Me Cannon for two years. and for one year travelled for F. Smith X Sons, wholesale grocers of St. Louis. August 6, 1880, he purchased the hardware business of D. Zerboni X Brother. and thus laid the foundation for his fortune. In March, 1897, Art and Bert Lewis, sons of J. W. Lewis of this place, were taken in as partners and the business has since been conducted by them.
 September 2, 1898, hardware business was established al West vile, l. T., by MT. Farrar and G. w. Jones under the firm name of Farrar X Jones. Nov. 10, 1902. a store was established at Fayetteville, the owners being MT. Farrar, Bert, Art and Will Lewis, the business being in charge of the latter two. In September 1908, store was op- ened at Bentonville, and Mir. Farrar, Art and Bert Lewis, Henry Sanders and 4. G. Boyle own the business.
 In addition to his hardware stores Mir. Farrar is interested i'll number of othel business enter prises. He is president of the Farmers X Merchants bank of this place, and has owned con- trolling interest in same since it's organization Augusta, 1894 He is a director and one of the principal owners of the Bank of Westville, Westville. 1. T., and Is one-fourth owner of the bank at Exeter, Mo-, and also d stock holder in the First National Bank of Fayetteville. Until re- gently MT. Earrar owned one-half the Benton County National Bank at Bentonville, having dis posed of his interest in this bank in August.
 Mir. Farrar has been unusually successful in all his business ventures, and while he of course declined to discuss the matter It IS estimated that he Is worth to- day not less than o200. GOO, all made within twenty-one years. He has also been instrumental III building q snug little fortune for his partners, Art and Bert Lewis, their holdings being estimated at from $40, ,000 to $50, ,0o0 each. They have been with Mir. Farrar since they were boys, as employ

cred In Many Mines and District
Bound to Improve.

After the first strike, the next
test of the permanency of mining
camp is whether the bonders of claims
take up their options and proceed
with development work or not. That
period has passed in the history of
Gold Butte, the camp only eight miles
west from Lovelock. The past week
Mr. Tillery and associates of Colora-
do have taken up their option on the
Brown-Bell group of claims which
they had bonded at $4,000 in this
district and are going ahead with the
work of developing and taking out
high grade ore.
This conclusion was reached after
thirty days of prospecting and exam
lining the property. We understand
that the former owners have taken a
goodly share of stock in the Company
to be organized on these claims, pre-
ferring that to all cash. Another
cash payment has been made and now
Mr.. Tillery has the deeds to the
Claims.
The men who now have these claims
are mining men of means and expert
ence and it speaks well for the merits
of the porperty that they have thus
decided to take up their option and
continue development work, after a
thorough test of the claims.
About all assessment work on the
claims first located has been done and
other deals for groups of claims are
being negotiated. Samples of high
grade have been brought in this week
from claims owned by Messrs. Jas.
Hunter, Chas, Torrey, VIM Barnes
and others. The Waldo and Hoyt
group of claims are also under option
and deal on them is likely to be
closed any day. Every claim holder
