SURVEYING FOR NORTH & SOUTH ROAD
Thomas A. Bell With g Corps of Sur. vey0rs Has Reached DeValPs Bluff and Construction of New Pine Bluff Road Win
 Begin.

Thomas A. Bell of the Thomas A. Bell Construction Company of St. Louis, with his corps of surveyors, arrived at "88' or Mesa, one mile west Of DeVall's Bluff, last night, having made a preliminary survey from Pine Bluff for the Pine Bluff North and South Railroad.
 Every assurance is given that the Pine Bluff North and South Railroad will be built from Pnie Bluff to connect with the Rock Island rail- road at Mesa. Parties interested have been at work for some time getting a right of way and nearly all of the right of way has been se- cured. It is expected that the few, who have been holding off will get into line and that there will be Ht- or no trouble in this respect.
 The surveyors will now beginN to locate the route, working baek toward this city and it is expected that actual construction of the line will begin within month. The mat ter of getting a right of way and building into DeVall's Bluff will be taken up later.

p.osts of Seventeen Subsidiary Com' nanies Brought Out in Testimony -some Unusual Stunts in Book keeping.

New York, Sept. 19.-More light
 vas shed upon the remarkable earn
 ing capacity of the various subsidiary
 cmnanies of the Standard Oil Con-
 many yesterday when Frank B. Kel-
 logg, who is conducting the federal
 suit succeeded in placing upon the
 record the profits of 17 of the prin- c,nal subsidiary companies in the wears 1903 and 1906. The statement of earnings of the Standard Oil Com pany of Indiana, which was recently fined $2s,240,ooo by Judge Landis of Chicago for rebating, disclosed that in 1906 the company earned no less than s10.516,OS2 on a capitalization of $1,- 900 900, or over 1000 per cent year. The Indiana company in 1906 earned more than any subsidiary company Of the big corporation.
 Curious Problem in Bookkeeping. Mr. Kellogg developed during the day. while Clarence G. Fay, assistant comptroller of the Standard Oil Com pany was on the stand, a curious problem of financial bookkeeping or hSaudling of accounts, which MT. Fla!
 hiled to explain From figures sub-
 hitted it was shown that the Stand ard Oil Company of New York in 1904 made a profit of $7,751 ,160 and paid in dividends to the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey the total sum of s32, ,sss, ,43o. This transaction reduc' ed the net assets of the New York company from $4O,425, 300 to $15,- 179, ,7O6, while the liabilities leaped from $47,646,235 in 1903 to $S1,Ss5'145 in 1904. an increase of nearly $34,- 00OO0 The gross assets of the New York company, however, increased from $SS,O74,561 in 1903 to $96,574,- S52 in 1904. Meanwhile the accounts receivable of the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey grew from $19'- 045,O14 in 1903 to $58,272,924 in 1904.
 MT. Fay was closely questioned as to the nature of the increased liabil- ities of the New York company, and increase in the accounts receivable of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, but he said he could not tell until he had examined the books of both companies, which he told MT. Kellogg he would do.
 Charles M. Pratt, secretary of the Standard Oil Company, was recalled to the witness stand, and told how he had held for the Standard Oil Con- pany the stock of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company at the time when it was not permitted to operate in the state of Texas.
 Just For Con, enience.
 He said that he held the stock as a matter of convenience, and not to avoid the antitrust laws of Texas. MT. Partt threw some interesting sidelights on the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, stock of which was held for a long period by M. M. Van Beuren, who was not connected with the Standard Oil Company. MT. Van Beuren purchased the stock from Mir Pratt, and early this year the Stand arG bought it back. The nature of the tra2 saction showed that MT.

In summing up: it has been
the desire of the wniter of this
paper To bring forth few Of the
important facts, which 90 to

an eadeavtr. the private home
OF a citizen has been noted, point
ing out the places where improve
ment can be made. "Civic
Pride as related to Public Life
has been dealt with, and little
matters, in which the general
public is concerned have been
stated. \ short space has been
devoted to duties of Civil officers
in the matter of helping com
nunity thrive. and note has been
made that public ipinion must
give the officers strength and
support. Finally. the advertising
of a town has been touched upon.
In conclusion. it may be seen
that nothing new or original has
been discussed here, but merely
old subjects handled. but if this

Advertise The Town.

The proposition of advertising
town. or adopting the method
in vogue. at the present time by
most "boOsters." is but logical
outcome when a community feels
as if there is something in their
home town to be proud of. At
ter steps have been taken along
the line of improvement of true
value as noted herein. it is then
time to advertise the fact there
are some good things in the lit
tie town away back among the
mountains. Many small cities
have issued neat booklets or fold
res, profusely illustrated, giving
a brief description of the natural
facilities of the place, and invit-
ing new corners. These booklets,
when distributed judiciously
bring good results. Other meth
DDS such as newspaper advertis-
ing, trade excursions delegations
to industrial conventions; dis
plays of natural and manufactur-
ed products at places where
transients can see them, all de-
note a general endeavOr on the
part of town to let other peo-
Pile know that they have few
things which are good for all.
One of the most effective ways to
advertise town is to get a rail
road interested in the locality,
and the endeayors made upon the
part of such a company. general
ly results in good for all parties
concerned.
Some cities have put up small
bonuses, when it was particularly
desirable to secure a manufactur-
ing plant. Small concessions on
the part of city council, often
brings to the town, an industry,
which otherwise would go to an
other locality. A wide awake
