THE NEW FIRE CHIEF.

The Graphic has been informed that there is to be lively contest for the appointment of fire chlef' to be named when Judge Toney IS Installed into the office of mayor.
 It is rumored that several ap- plicants have already announced themselves as candidates, so to speak, and that they are quite ac- tive among their respective friends to induce Judge Toney to consider their claims.
 We do not know what Judge Toneys ideas are regarding this ap- pointment. except as indicated in his interview in the Graphic Thurs day, every word of which we believe he will carry out. But as friend of Judge Toney we want to warn him to be careful in his se- lection of a head of the fire de- partment, which is without doubt, the most important of any of the branches of the city government.
 One of the best essentials of a

fire chief is sobriety. He has not particle of claim to such posi- tion who is known to imbibe or IS an habitual drinker.
 Pine Bluff is the second city III the state in point of valuations ana cotton receipts. Our bankers and merchants have millions of dollars in property that may at any moment be at the mercy to the flames 70 an emergency of this kind our hre department must have at it's head an alert, honest, sober and ex- perienced man.
 The Graphic has no favofl'es 'o reward nor enemies to punish. ms paper has the city's good at heart as well as the success of Judse Tonev's administration. we sih- cerely urge Mayor-elect Toney to consider well this all-important ap- pointment.

THE REPORT OF THE COMMlS'
 SLOWER OF IMMIGRATION.

The report of Commissioner Gen. or., Sargent on immigration for the year past is one of the most 'l- terestinc documents submitted to tbe current session of congress by any department of the government because it reveals facts that are sure to have a wide influence upon the social and political condition of the country as whole, ana which will be acutely felt in certain localities.
 In the first place, the report shows that the number o1 aneh9 seeking homes in this country dur inc 1906 was greater than any twelve months in the history, reach ing the vast total of 1865 33o, an increase over the record Of the previous year of more than 1oo,ooo.
 That addition to our population would not, of itself, cause any un- eHSlneSS II It NdS lolIl1OoCu VI homogeneous and assimilable ele- ments. But unhappily it is made up of people whose racial preJu- dices, ideals, habits and customs are the antithesis of those that dis tinguish American life and char acter, and will constitute an incon- gruous element in the body social and polite. "Without exception, the report says, 'the countries from which We formerly obtained the greater part four foreign pop ulation and which are inhabited by races nearly akin to our own sup piled us with a smaller number during the past year than during 19O5--Trland 19,950; Sweden, 3.2S1; Germany, 016; Denmark, 229, and Scotland, 1,1 Il less.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-01-13

On the other hand, it is observed
 that Southern and Eastern Europe
 increased their contributions very
 largely. The immigration from Aus tro-Hungary amounted to 26o, 13S; Russian empire and Finland, 2i3,- 663: Italy, including Sardinia and Sicily. 273,120, from these three sources came 75 per cent. Of all the aliens that landed on our shores last year, and the increase in the number of the year previ- ous was very marked, being in the case of Italy, 51 ,641, and Rllsss'a, l, 30,7SS.
 The immigration from southern and eastern Europe, Mr. Sergeant says. E.is a result of general un- rest existing among the 1aborins classes of these sections, which is encouraged or even fomented by the steamship agents securing the country TOT passengers, dhu IHe
 commission say more drastic meas ures are required to effect a dis continuance of these steamship practices. That the physical and
 mental qualities of the immisrt its we are now receiving is much below those who have come :n
 former years, he says, is evident.
 The North Atlantic and North Central states together received go
 per cent of the entire immlgra- tion of 1906; the South i per cent. As in previous years, the bulk of l the immigrants were destined avowedly to few of the large cen ters of population, 374, JOS claim- ing New York state, 19S,3S1 assert
 ed they were going to Pennsylvania, S5.35O to Illinois and 73,S63 to 1 Massach usetts.

guests and their entertainers and
marked a memorable event In
the history of this flourishing
town that will be recalled with
only feelings of pride and
pleasurable emotions.
Too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon the Mack Bros,
proprietors of the Oak Cafe, for
the admirable manner in which
they prepared and served the
varied viands for this banquet
and the attractiveness that
marked Its surroundings. 1t was
creditable alike to their culinary

FIRST TRAIN ON
FREMONT & GULF
The New Railway Opens up
Passenger Traffic with City
on the Hills.

Last Sunday at IL o'clock,
promptly on time, the first
through passenger train on the
fremont & Gulf Railroad,
steamed up to the handsome
depot on Lena Avenue. 1t con-
sisted of the locomotive, express
and baggage car and two coaches.
While Lo public demonstration
marked its advent, quite a
of citizens were present to well
come this first opening of the
road to passenger traffic.
The coaches were crowded with
passengers. many on their first
visit to this future active city,
who came to inspect its surround
ings and enjoy the recreation of
day abroad.
The train was under the charge
of conductor Charles Nelson,
with engineers X. <. Davis and
ID. +. Moore holding down the
throttle of the iron hore.
General Manager S. j. Car
penter came in on the train with
his baggage and has permanently
located here in his own home.
The terminal headquarters of the
road have been permanently
established here which empha-
sizes the fact that Winfield has
become very important railway
center and in a short time will be
pulsating with renewed business
life and energy.

illustrated with cuts of members
of the League, prominent citizens,

ladies' effort to make Minden a
clean, beautiful and attractive
town find its fullest realization.

Labor Day.

There was no general celehra-
tion of Labor Day in this town.
But there was a cessation from
work by the building trades and
the anniversary was observed in
this way by the carpenters, brick
masons and painters.
A very large contingent OF citi-
zens, including candidates, who
attended the celebration at DOd-
son with the brass band, reported
a very notable assembly of Winn
parish citizens at that town.
There was parade, oratory and
a splendid barbecue to mark this
national holiday. The celebration
was marked success from every
point of view, and visitors to the
town speak in the highest terms
of their reception and entertain
ment.

Suggestive Short Stops.

Slight sprinkle Sunday. More
hot ana dry conditions once more
resumel.
The use of brooms on paved
sidewalks Is conducive to comfort,
cleanliness.
Don't forget that Winfield
will need more public park room
in the near future.
September has come and so has
that delicious bivalve, yclept We
oyster.
Lumber end brick piles along
the thoroughfares indicate that
Winfield is growing steadily.
The next thing is waterworks.
Then watch the broad thorough
fares put on bran new garments
and the dust fail to materialize.
Concrete paving is being stead
lily built along the sides of Main
street. Winfield is destined to
"get there" in the very near fut-
ure.
Remember to agitate the ques
ton of organizing a fire company.
The quarters are ready for the
apparatus in the new City Hall.
That new locomotive whistle on
the fremont & Gulf railway
sounds encouraging. The town
is encompassed by steel highways
North, South, East and West.
The Sentinel readers will please
bear in mind all shortage in its
columns until the rush of the
candidates for the "Band Wagon"
is over.
Scarcely a day passes but that
strangers from abroad visit this
place to view the situation and
enquire into the surroundings.
ALI of which prove that the name
and fame of Winfield are spread
ing abroad.
The Court House square would
be greatly improved and -5eauti
fed by the employment of a regu-
lar janiter to keep down the grass
and weeds and remove all litter

NUMBER is
THE ROCK ISLAND
PUSHING WORK
This Important Line Will Open
New Territory from Its
Terminals.

This energetic railway system
will soon inaugurate active opera
tions on the terminals here, as
recently stipulated. The COM
pletion of these terminals is of
more importance and significance
than the average resident dreams
of.
Not only does it mean the ex-
penditure of a large amount of
capital, but an addition to the
population and new life and
activity to the railway industry.
The division headquarters of
the road will be permanently
located here as soon the Southern
division is completed to Eunice,
on the line of Acadia and st.
Landry parishes. There are now
about IL miles of track to be laid
to complete this line. 1t will
open 100 miles more OF territory
Southward and become an i'm
portant link in the railway lines
now centering in Winnfied.
Every iron highway built into
new territory inevitably attracts
attention to its central point and
opens up inquiry into the location
and belongings of as important a
town as Winfield has become.
That means an increase in res
idents, more investment of cap
ital and necessarily accelerated
progress and development. An
optimistic view is disclosed for
the future Importance of this
town from every point of vantage.
