the year. Of late yeu:5 the through traffic has been discontinued, but boats have continued to run to this city.
 Should there be an agreement among the shippers on the proposi. tion it is almost certain that a line of packets will intimately be installed on the Arkansas river. This would mean T reopening Of the agitation to secure q deeper chan. ne1, which would n4ake the river navigable as hieh ss r.'.le Rock the year round and perhaps as rnuc, cotton would then 5o Cn3 over the river as by rail
 Recently the idea of rcstorin; river traffic to it's old ;roporticns has been gaining steady popularity. Should the bill now being con- sidered by the river and harbor committte of the United States sen- ate became law an appropriation would be allowed for a 14-foot, channel through the Mississippi river With such a channel there would be waterway communication between Memphis and Liverpool, England

In view of the heavy penalties re- gently ordered by the Texas railroad commission for all trains behind time in Texas, B. A. Peck of this city, superintendent of the Cotton Belt road, has issued a circular to conductors and engineers on that system, remind ing them that theyemust not tarry at the wayside, but must get to their des- tinations on the minute scheduled. The results of this warning have al- ready become manifest, and the Cot ton Belt trains are running with clock-like regularity.
 As slight mitigation of the se- verity of it's rule, in which a heavy fine is provided, the commission has arranged that train leaving TeXar kama for Texas points may wait o0 minutes for connections, but any de- lay oyer th(t margin is punishable by fine of several hundred dollars. Should a connection from Memphis be 45 minutes behind time, it's Texas con nection must leave Texarkana within half an hour of the time table, but second section may be provided to make the connection, and then permit ted to catch up On the regular, if possible.
 Even in cases where it is certain i that the regular connection might make up the 15 odd minutes, it is not permitted to finger over the specified half hour.
 l Through this provision, all the
 transportation employees have been put on their metle, and the trains are being run right up to time on every division of the system
 "It's a pretty severe rule," said a local Cotton Belt official today, "but we find that we can live up to it with out trouble, and we are running our trains right up to the schedule, botA 1 inward and outward.'

Win in Their Fight Against the Railroads and Recent Rate Increase on Raw .'a:a:iaI Will not Become Effec. tive.

The officials Of the various Pine Bluff lumber concerns were victorious ill their fight against the recent in crease made by the railroads in rates on raw forest products. It was charg- ed that the rates were exorbitant. They were to become effective April l. The decision is in favor of the shippers and declares that the present rates must continue. It was made last night by the Arkansas Railroad Com mission.
 The lumber interests of the state are much benefited by this ruling of the commission, as the raise pro- posed on undressed lumber was of a material nature Lumber dealers in this city and in other parts of the state have been fighting the proposed scale since it was first announced and the railroads were cited to appear at the meeting last Wednesday, the case being continued, as full legal notice had not been given.
 The following is the schedule of rates which was adopted by the com mission:
 Effective April 1, 1907, rough mater ial rates applicable on rough lumber, slaves, f1itches, bolts and logs, and carloads between all points in Ar kansas:
 Minimum Weight-In cars of 4O,- 900 pounds of greater marked capacity the minimum weight will be 10000 pounds. In cars of less than 10000 pounds marked capacity, the mini mum weight will be the marked ca pacity of the car.
 Rates in cents per hundred pounds:

 51 to 100 miles, inclusive. .21h 101 to 150 miles, Inclusive .3H 151 to 250 miles, inclusive .....5 251 miles and over ..............S
 The abOve-named rates are condi- toned upon the manufactured product being reshipped over the same line bringing in the rough material, and may be used only subject to the fol- lowing conditions: The proportion of

The members of the committee who had charge of the relief work, subscriptions and disbursements for the East End fire sufferers have made their final reports. The final report of the finance committee, composed of W. N. Trulock, E. B. Bloom and C. M, Philpot, was made to General Chairman J. w.

 The report of the finance com- mittee has the following reeapitula- tion, after a complete list of the worthy cases looked after and cared for the committee is itemized.
 The finance committee in it's re- port says the total amount donated in case for use by the committee was $4,1S42S, of which amount $3,575.25 was expended in render ing aid, medicines, clothing, house. hold goods. food and other neces saries of life, less donations in mer- chandise in the sum of s2S. The committee still has $637.03 on hand.

 Pine Bluff, Ark, March, 15 1907. To the Public: The accompanying report from the subcommittee on finance is a complete statement of the operations of the committee for the relief of the fire suffers to date. The report has been delayed because of the fact that the diff ferent members of the committee could do their work only at such times as they could spare from their private business. For obvious reasons the names of the parties re- ceiving relief are not given, but the cases are referred to by number Full information in regard to each of these cases is on file in the records of the committee and can be sect by any one interested upon application to Mir.

Owing to the exigencies of the case, it was necessary to begin the distribution before the funds were entirely col lected and the committee, there. fore could only estimate as to what would be the amount finally avail

The exclusive story ill the Graphic yesterday telling of the coming of the steamer s. s. Brown from Memphis for $500 bales of cotton, to be taken from this place Sum- day via river, has created no little interest in Little Rock and resulted in the inauguration of a scheme to get the steamer to go to that city for a similar cargo.
 - .Jh approximately 5000 bales of cotton congested in Little Rock, many shippers are beginning to look to the river as possible means of relieving the situation. It is stated that a large proportion of the congested cotton has been list ed upon railway lading bills for some time showing that no relief is to be expected from this quar- ter. It is concluded that the only solution of the difficulty lies in the restsration of river traffic between LM Rock and the Mississippi. In adopting this idea Little Rock shippers are following the example set by Pine Bluff. Confronted by the same situation at that point, request was sent to the manage ment of the steamship Brown, ask ing that that boat come up the river to Pine Bluff and promising cargo of from 5000 to 5000 bales.
 Captain T. J. Darragh of Little Rock, part owner of the 5. 5. Brown, is in receipt of telegram from Captain Ed Rowland to the ef- feet that the boat will arrive here Saturday night.
 It is understood that the s. $. Brown will proceed up the river to Little Rock should a cargo equally as large be promised. A movement is now on foot there to bring the matter to the attention of prospec- tive shippers and it is probable that something definite will be an- nounced shorty.
 The s. s. Brown is in the packet trade plying between Memphis and Wick sburg. It has only been in commission a few weeks and is said to be one of the handsomest and most thoroughly equipped crafts on the Mississippi. On it's way up the Arkansas river the boat will stop at every landing and take on passengers.
 Secretary Bragg, of Little Rock. connected with the merchants freight bureau is especially en- thusiastic over the plan. lie refers to the car shortage, which is ad- mitted to exist, and to tut obnoxious rates in effect on many commodities and says that not only is this one trip necessary, but that boats should should ply regularly below Little Rock.
 In the palmy days of river traffic boats piled between Little Rock md the Mississippi Line months of

able for distribution. For this req son the balance on hand is larger than the committee expected it to be. A meeting of the committee will be held at once to determine the disposition of the funds now on hand and also to consider sey- eral cases whose applications have been filed since the committee closed it's office. He have en- deavored to distribute the funds with justice towards all and in ac- cordance with the merits and necessities of each case, and while being human, we have no doubt been unable to satisfy every one, We feel that we have done our best.
 Respectfully,
 RELIEF COMMITTEE.

NOT.AN APPLICANT
 FOR IMPROVEMENT

In an interview today, occasioned by an article printed few days ago by the Graphic from an authentic source, Chief of Police Al J. Stewart says that he is not an aspirant for reappoint- ment. He says that he has worked two years with Mayor-elect w. L. Toney as police judge and that if he is rendered the position again he will accept it. He says he is not aware of negligence on the part of any of the patrolmen and he believes that every one of them has done his duty.

One of the reasons for their irritation

JAPANESE RICE
IS FUMIGATED

Yesterday the fumigation of six
thousand bags of rice imported from
Japan by the steamer Mongolia was
completed under the direction of Alex
ander Craw, the Territorial entomolo-
gist and Inspector.
japanese rice has again been dis
covered coming in carrying pesti-
ferrous bug of some kind upon its ker-
Aels, When the same pest was dealt
with last year the authorities were
promised by the consignees that there
after rice would be fumigated before
shipment from Japan and nothing but
clean rice sent here. This promise
would appear to have been fairly kept
until recently.
a few weeks ago a sample of rice
sent by mail to Fred. w. Waldron,
the commission merchant, from Japan
was found to contain the same old
bug. This discovery put Entomologist
Craw more than ever, if possible, on
his guard, with the result of its be
ing found necessary to fumigate the
large invoice of rice in the Mongo-
liza IS cargo.
