State Capital Notes
To Appear In Bulletin Form

The resources of Arkansas are to appear in bulletin form from time to time, and will be issued by the Ar kansas Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture. Each mineral. agri- cultural and other resource Of the State will be set forth in a separate bulletin similar to the ones issued by ington. Commissioner Tucker finds 1t necessary to adopt this system on ac- count of the numerous inquiries he receives daily from every section of the country concerning the various resources of the State. The majority of inquiries come from persons who want information regarding the agri. cultural possibilities of the State. MT Tucker proposes to issue separate bulletin on every fruit, vegetable and grain produced in the State. He will also prepare special bulletins on each mineral and variety of stone found in the State. During the past two months more inquiries have been received at the agricultural depart ment concerning the bauxite deposits fin Saline and Pulaski counties, and the marbles of Independence, Newton and other counties, than have reached the department in the past during years period. All these letters have been answered, but not as fully as desired by the commissioner. MT. Tucker is securing official data of every resource of the State, and as far as he receives the information he Is seeking he will issue bulletin upon such subject upon which the information is com plete. By degrees he hopes to as certain the producing qualities of every quarter section in every town ship in every county in Arkansas All this information he intends to classify so that any visitor to the department, for information regarding any resource of the State, can secure what he wants at moments notice. The object of this scheme Is to make the Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture an institution in every respect what It's name implies-a l bureau of information concerning every resource of the State of Arkan sas. The first bulletin from the agri
 cultural department 1t Is expected, will be issuel some time during the coming week.

Rouuh Rice Rates.

The Arkansas Railroad Commission has put into effect a fiat mileage rate on rough rice within the state, the first which has been made in Arkan- sas, to meet the demands of this new and rapidly growing industry.
