WILL NOT COMPLY WITH MAYORS ORDER

,\a interesting legal fight is look ed for ill the Jefferson chancery court within the next few Gayn be- tween the Bluff City Lumber Com pany and the city. The initial step in this direction was taken yester- day by Mayor W. l.. Toney, when he !nstrlcted Chi of Police Stew art to serve notice on the officials of the big lumber concern, ordering them to open Ash street from Third to Fourth avenues in the western suburbs Of the city. The street is now blocked with q long platform, upon which is stored much lumber, and the Bluff cit3, officials say that they own the property i'll question and will proceed to enioin the city should an effort be made to tear away the platform and open the street
 This question came up at the meeting of the City Council Monday night, when the officials of the Bluff City Lumber Company requested the Council to grant them the use of Plum, Locust and Ash streets, between Third and Fourth avenues, adjoining the site of their property Oh West Fourth avenue, upon which the company proposes to rebuild its S100,0O0 lumber mill, destroyed by fire more than q year ago.
 The request made by the lumber company was accompanied by an of- fer from it in which the lumber company signified it's willingness to give to the city, in return for the three strips of land, one large strip of land, running around it's Fourth avenue property, and which can be easily used as a driveway The granting Of the request met with opposition in the Council chamber, three petitions being presented, signed by property owners in the western suburbs, protesting against

the closing of the streets mention ed. When the opposition was being discussed President John r. Ruth crfOrd of the lumber company with drew his request and stated that the company owned that part of the streets adjoining it's property and that it would proceed to establish it's right in the premises i'll court. Mir. Rutherford stated yesterday that he informed the Mayors mes nengcr that he would not comply with the officials request and that he would resist any attempt of the city authorities to tear away his platforms. According to MT. Ruth erford the lumber company has a legal title to the property, which the city claims as part of the three streets It is well known fact that the lumber company had it's plant and lumber yards built over this property for years until the fire whicn destroyed the big mill some months ago.
 The lumber company has already begun work on the new Pine Bluff plant. IL has re-established man. moth lumber yards on West Fourth avenue and unless the city prevents it from doing so. it will rebuild the plant in it's entirety. This plant will give employment to six hundred skilled workmen, and will be, as formerly, one of the largest enter prises in this city or section, for that, and any attempt to hiock it's reconstruction will be bitterly fought in the courts.
 The first move of the city to mo- lest the property of the Bluff City Lumber Company will be met with an immediate injunction in the chancery court, say the oEielals, and the indications are that the city and lumber company will mix it in fight. which will be of unusual interest from q legal standpoint.

DIR. CALDWELL
 '':'''-' ON ANNEXATION

vestigate such lands with gum boots, briar hook and canoe is sa- tire upon the handbills with which our real estate men are trying to exploit our suburban paradises. There are times, however. Hht'. such munitions of flood are needed in New Orleans, Cincinati, Littl2 Rock, and many other cities. Shall Pine Bluff make it condition that all proposed "additions" shall towec up like Pelion upon Ossa? Under such a rule where would New York s Central Park be:
 In conclusion allow sn2 to say that words like those used iii the contribution referred to abo"e have kept Pine Bluff from being tn" i;.rr- es. city in Arkansas. We l.a!e tl7 strategic position for such ,,st;nc- ton. But public spirited citizens whose motives could mi be ia#.ly questioned, have had hIrged al them the words graft malc. dis. honesty injustice and absnrdity Some have moved away ID helr' build up other cities. Others have drawn into their shells and husheG up. Others have turned to wor.i exclusively on their own fences. The time has come for us to lift uy2 our eyes and look around us. Lets ali get together and pull for the larger interests of the best situated city in Arkansas
 There has never been an annexa- ton which has equally benefited everybody. If q public movement increases my burdens just little bit but helps the town along, why should I fight it? If this particular annexation is not made now, the probabilities are that it cannot be made in time for the next Govern ment census Competitive cities are using their utmost endeavors to outstrip us. and along the line of annexation,
 With this statement showing what the real issue is. the appeal is made to the patriotism of all our people to adopt this annexation or dinance. without divisive strife.

Editor Of the Graphic:
 At meeting of the directors of the Board of Trade several days ago, the secretary was directed to give publicity to and ask the editors of our city papers to paragraph what is known as the Annexation Ordinance.-
 In this mornings issue of the Graphic you publish 8 contribution in which you are urged to inyestl- gate this proposition, providing yourself in advance with pair Of gum boots, briar hook and canoe, and to treat the matter hon. estly and justly, without malice. The proposition is declared to be prompted by graft D neither hon est nor just" and absurd
 The resolution above referred to was not suggested by the undersign- ad nor did he utter word when 1t was under discussion. 1t Is proper, however, that he should reply to the above mentioned contribution by presenting the facts concerning the proposed annexation as viewed by some of our business men. beg leave, therefore, to submit the following statement for publication:
 CD The suburban lands under discussion contain a population of 2.OOO souls, as recently given in the city directory of 1905. Other cities in the State have taken in such pop ulous suburbs, to the great detrl- snent of Pine Bluffs reputation, as compared with these other cities.
 C. This population of 2,oec is a real Pine Bluff citizenship. They make their living in Pine Bluir They have the privilege of the city S schools, churches, lighted and pay ed streets. markets, etc. Is 1t dls- honest or unjust to ask them to pa! their ,far proportion of the cost ol main,a ming these things. especially when many of them are not subject to taxation?
 (a) Annexation would not our den this population of 2,ooo With ruinous taxation. It would simply put them in the band wagon with the rest of us and give them an honest privilege of paying thelr lalF share for the music. They might possibly pay more for the music than they thought they were get ting. but all the rest of us do the same thing. If they think ihell holdings are fit places for gum boots. canoes and briar hooks tl'el5 taxes would be very light inde ad Taxation is not according to 'gra!t or "malice," but by sworn assets- ment of value
 (4) The territory which it is pr '- nosed to annex. according to tn q map of the City Engineer, has beer actually plated and placed on tn market as this or that Addition to the city Of Pine Bluff. Sales are not made by the acre but by th1 fool Single lots have been sold as high as $700. To ask you to ln-
