FORREST CITY, ARK FRIDAY AFTERNOON NOVEMBER l. 1so7
LOOKS BRIGHTER
Financial Situation is Gettinq Better
 in All Sections.

New York, Oct.-The financial sit. nation Wednesday was SO nearly nor nal that there were few features of i'm. portance. IL was stated by bankers that the calls for money from the neighborhood of New York and the en- tire East appeared to be practically satisfied, as such calls for currency of an urgent character as were being re celVed came from points West of the Mississippi These calls are being met as fast as conditions permit. Mr. Will Hams. the new state superintendent or banking, gathered up most of the cash in the suspended banks Wednes- day and deposited it with going insti- tutions. thereby adding several mil non dollars to the funds available In the market. The debit balances against banks at the clearing house were smaller than usual under nor nal conditions, all such balances az greSating only a little more than s9.. 0e0,000 on clearings of $266, ,00Q .000 One of the points at which the most serious pressure for money is expect ed is New Orleans in order 10 finance the movement of the cotton crop. The pressure there is always heavy at this season of the year, and promises 10 be even more intense this year than usual, unless special preparations are made. The New Orleans bankers ap pear to be fully alive to the situation and we're endeavoring to arrange for transfers of money from Europe in payment for cotton through the fiscal agents of the United States in Europe and it's direct transmission by cable to New Orleans.

Texas Banks Declared Solid.

Austin, Tex. Oct.-In consequence of conference Wednesday between Governor Campbell. State Bank Com missioner Love. Commissioner of In surance Milner and D. ]. Neil of the State Farmers Union, it was decided that, with evidence in hands, banking conditions in Texas were most excel lent at present. and there was no par ticular reason for alarm as to the financial condition. MT. Neill issued a statement advising farmers to hold their cotton, as there was no occa- sion for their getting panicky, and if they held their cotton they could get all the money they wanted and the banks would take care of their claims. Save for the issuance of this state ment. nothing was done by the meet ing except to congratulate Texas upon It's good condition

WHY IT IS NECESSARY.
All Banks Prefer to Be on Safe Side
 and Caution Moderation.

St Louis. Mo.-The banks of St Louis are not different from the banks all over the country. Beginning Mon day morning. they refused to pay out large amounts of currency, and will not return to paying in cash until the financial condition in the east i'm proves. Depositors seeking to with draw money were given checks of the bank instead of cash Commercial de positors are allowed to draw the full amount of their balances, but must ac. cept the banks checks instead of cur rency.
 The rule requiring savings banks de- positors to give 30 days notice before drawing out less than s100. and 60 days notice before drawing out more than $100, was also put in force.
 The local banks declare that they were compelled to adopt these rules because of the action taken by the banks in the east, which would soon have drained this city of it's cash re- sources.

TRAIN IN LAKE; MANY DEAD.
Nearly All of Fifty Italian Laborers
 Reported Drowned.

Millinocket, Maine.-A work train of flat cars. on which were forty or fifty Italian laborers. engaged in the construction of an artificial lake for the Great Northern Paper Co. at East Millinocket. tumbled into the lake through the sinking of the track messenger who says he saw the accident reported that nearly all the workmen had been drowned
 The company officials, however. while admitting the accident. denied there had been great loss of life
 The lake is five miles long and mile wide. The railroad track IS on the side of the lake, and. according to the messenger. the track settled, throwing every one on the train into the water.
 The messenger said that he drove to the scene and saw the trainmen reach place of safety, but few of the workmen escaped.

In Pitched Battle,

Raleigh, N C., Oct.-A recent case of hazing at the State Agricultural and Mechanical College caused Presi- dent Winston of that college to re- prove the student body In his re. marks he advised a man-to-man fight in the open As the result of this, the freshman class sent challenge to the sophomores to meet them for a test of prowess on the athletic field Accordingly there was a mass fight Wednesday afternoon with about 75 on each side. Lieut.. Young. S A., the commandant, and members of the junior and senior classes, were pres ent and allowed no fighting on the grounds, and the scrapping match passed without serious injury to any or the participants. Later the sopho- mOres invited the freshmen to bat tie, when a fiercer struggle ensued and there were many injured on both sides. There were 65 men on a side, and the noses of four cadets were broken, number of eyes were black ened and many faces scratched. It is understood that another fight will take place Thursday. The opposing sides line up. rush at each other and fight at will, but rough al ! tumble tactics are barred. President Winston and Lieut. Young believe this will do away with hazing. Many friends of the college here condemn it.

NOW OVER
BANKING INSTITUTIONS ADOPT
 CERTIFICATE PLAN.
NO GOLD FOR BOARDING
President Roosevelt ConqratuIates Cortelyou On Manner in Which He
 Has Handled Crisis.

A leading news concern, a most con servative institution, has made careful investigation of conditions surround ing the present furry in the money market. and from it's headquarters in New York, where the furry started, and doubtless where it will end, states in the latest dispatches possible that the worst Is over and that 1t Is only a question of time when saner reason will prevail and the pessimist be rele- gated to the oblivion to which such characters rightfully belong It doubt less will take a few days to accom- plish the desired end. but that the final result will be satisfactory to the public at large is as sure as fate No legitimate institution need fear for re- suit. There will be temporary incon- vepience but there is no doubt in the world that sound institutions will weather the storm and in the end business will be on a more substantial footing than before the trouble was started in Wall street The banking institutions which have adopted the certificate plan only did so to protect the interests of their depositors, as well as themselves. It was the logical solution to a yexed problem)

IMPROVES GRAZING LANDS.
Government Will Better Ranoe condI-
 tions by Increasing Water Supply.

Washington, D. C.-In It's investiga. tions for the improvement of grazing lands within the national forests car ried on during the past year the for est service has found that the ranges on some of the forests can not he fully utilized by stock because of a lack of proper water supply. Plans have been made for bettering these conditions as rapidly as possible.
 Work to improve the water supply on the national forest ranges will be started this year on the Leadvllle na- tional forest in Colorado and the Tu- macacori national forest in Arizona. and before the coming Of another graz ing season number of ranges will be improved very materially.
 On the Leadville forest the forest officers will clean out and protect twelve different springs and pipe the water into treughs. The work on the Tumaeaeori forest in Arizona will be somewhat more extensive, although 1t will be confined to the improvement of the supply of only half as many springs as on the Colorado forest This method of cleaning out and protecting springs and other watering places will result in much benefit to stockmen grazing on the strips of ranges within the forests. Improvement work along the same general lines will also be begun on other national forests

Other Banks in Line.

Chcago. Ill.-Reports from banks all over the country. except the extreme west. have adopted the clear ing house certificate plan, and will fol low it until the money market settles back where 1t belongs.

 l congratulate also those con servative and substantial business . men who in this crisis have acted with such wisdom and public : spirit.
 : By their action they did inval- |: uabe service in checking the |: panic which, beginning as a mat. : ter of speculation, was threaten : ing to destroy the confidence and credit necessary to the conduct 1: Of legitimate business.
 No one who considers calmly : can question that the underlying

 1: financial and industrial well-be-

 f: honest. Dishonest dealing and

fill tho place of the old fashioned

80 many years. The Pennsylvania

these new ties just east of Lockport
ON the Pittsbmg division of the
main line.
u is becoming harder each yea to
get good wooden ties. with the result
that the railroads OF the country are
casting about to find a suitable substi.
tute Steel ties Of two kinds are now
being subjected to experiment by the
Pennsylvania, rs anything that prom.
ises a possible solution Of the cross

The new tie is steel casing with
an asphalt and rocl, filling The steel
facing extends only a.uund three
sides OF the tie. the asphalt being eN.
posed on the under side. which rests
on the stone ballast. The size and
the shape are the same as those of a
wooden tie, though the weight Is
about 200 pounds. or three times as
heavy as wooden sleeper This
great weight. with the asphalt sur.

lated to reduce creeping to a mini

With the installation of these steel

ed These are the l.shaped all-steel
ties, track built on longitudinal
steel girders, and the new Snyder tie

likely that the c.oss-tie supply in this

wooden ties with creosote. as i5 done

countries.
