 Field.

A telegram has been received from (. J. Proper, the inter- urban line promoter who is in Minneapolis, stating that he is having the corporation papers prepared and he will return to Rogers this week. He will be accompanied by the chief engi- neer for the concern who will come prepared to begin work on the right-of-way. The various towns to be embraced i'll the pro- posed system have taken tile matter up enthusiastically and d definite decision will be arrived at i'll short time.
 The following letter written by Mir. Proper has later been received by the editor of this paper:
 It would have been impossible for me to have advised you before this date of the intention of our company. In other words It was necessary for us to first satisfy ourselves that We wanted to do business there, that the phy- slcal conditions of the country would admit of the laying down of line such as We proposed constructing, and that when ln stalled and i'll operation would be paving enterprise, also that the financial condition of the loeali- ties through which the road would run was such as would aid materially in securing to this company such concessions as they would demand. All of this has been carefully investigated by the writer in person, and hay ing been called unexpectedly in- to conference with our Eastern bond associates, and having laid before the President, Vice-Presi- dent and functionary members of our company the report of the condition of your country as 1 found 1t, l am now prepared to say that, without doubt, building of the road in question will be commenced, starting at Joplin, Missouri, and running south to Pea Ridge, Arkansas, thence to Rogers, southwest to Bentonville, on down the Osage Valley to a point of access to Siloam Springs, from Siloam Springs undecided whether to go to Fayetteville and from there to Huntsville or directly east from Siloan Springs to Huntsville by way of Tonti- town and Springdale, continuing from Huntsville back to Pea Ridge. This decision, however, IS dependent somewhat upon local conditions and the findings of our chief engineer, who as l have stated, will be in the terri tory the 9th inst.-Rogers Re Dlfblicau

 The down stairs part of the house contains the parlor, two sitting rooms, dining room and kitchen. The parlor is 16x19, with two large glass doors open ing to the porch, and when finish ed will certainly be a credit to the occupants.

The dining room IS f6 feet square and has q door leading from the south sitting room, one from the south porch, ole from the north porch and one from the kitchen. This room IS especially beautiful. The kitchen has its supply of windows and door leading to the north porch, and one to the south porch and Is a room of which any good housekeeper would be proud. On the south porch Is located the well, lined with brick and cement, which assures nothing but the purest ot water.
 The up stairs portion of tie house contains the sleeping apartments and bath room.
 There are four bed rooms up stairs, three of which are 16xf9, and one l6xl6. Now comes the bath room, 14x16, papered with washable paper, and IS certainly d thing Of beauty. There is al- so q cellar 9. feet III diameter which leads directly from the dlnlng room, cement throughout and lighted by electricity. In short there are 14 outside doors to the house and B windows.
 The house IS we'll lighted with electric lights, and is located in one of the prettiest portions of the city. From the north porch one can get beautiful view of the city, and from the south and west one can see the apple and peach orchards and everything, altogether making one of the most attractive homes in the city.
 There IS wide cement walk leading up to the house, and when 1t is all completed will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of g, 100. The carpenter work was done by Beeley X Harring- ton, painting and paper hanging by H. K. Swartwout and brick work by J. w. Carter.

NO MORE
 DRAWINGS, Being Advised They are Con. trary to Law, Business Men Discontinue Them.

It's all off
 There will be no more monthly drawings in Springdale, even the one scheduled for tomorrow Sat urday) having been can celed.
 This IS in compliance with the edlct of Prosecuting Attorney Horsley, who holds that the law prohibits such things, and as the business men of Springdale have no desire to be placed in the at titude Of knowingly violating the law, there was nothing else to do but call 1t off, much as they re- 9retted to do so. It will be d disappointment to hundreds Of people who have been given tickets, but then 1t can't be helped, aud We believe no one will eensure tile business men of this place, but on the contrary all law abiding people will eom- mend them for their action in the premises.
 Some days ago 1t was rumored Tn Sprlngdale that the present grand jury was likely to take some action relative the matter, and Thursday of last week com- mittee representing the business men went to Fayetteville to talk the matter over with MT. Hors- ley. The committee was com posed of 1. T. Lane, w. N. Hew- it, C. F. Renner and Jno. P. Stafford.
 MT. Horsley was very courteous to the committee, explaining that the matter was brought to his attention by business men in other towns, who were complain ing because they had been pro- hibited from conducting similar enterprises. He had inyestigat- ed the law bearing on the ques- ton very thoroughly, and he could construe 1t in no other way except as lottery. He cited his authorities, and after talking over the matter he suggested to the committee that they not take his word, but consult some reput- able lawyer and get his opinion. This the committee did, and J. Y. Walker, whose reputation as an attorney Is probably second to none in this section, eoincided with Mr. Horsley in his lnterpre- tation of the law.
 50 there was no alternative left the business men of Spring dale but to stop, and stop they have. But while the monthly drawings have been discontinued, the probabilities are Some other feature will be devised to take its place.
 Although there will be no drawing in Springdale tomorrow, the Stony Point band has been employed and will be here and will furnish music throughout the day. Bring your folks and come in and enjoy the music.

tai tendencies are the same. The country needs individual devotion to the community A man should devote his time and sacrifice something to the whole.
 "A rentpayer pays part of his land lords taxes, and part of butcher B money for beefsteak is for his taxes. Every bill is partly of someone's taxes There is no tax on time, but a man ought to give one week year to political affairs.
 Such spectacles as lack of interest in who Is nominated and of dragging men to tho polls to vote in automobiles should be spared election day.
 T believe that there should be pun ishment for not voting and compulsory voting. Children are forced to go to schools and learn what Is taught prop erty can be taken away by right of em- lnent domain, a man can be forced to serve as deputy sheriff and risk his life. put in uniform and shot at in war, or into jury box to hang a murderer, all these against a mans will, so why  not compulsory voting?
 Many men are lured or paid to stay away from the polls since the secret ballot did away with bought votes. The remnant of corruption would be done away with if everyone went to the polls. The church should demand that every man vote at election.
 The common citizen needs less h. struction than others in voting. One of our most prominent citizens in Hart ford demanded of the moderator that he be allowed to vote for William II. Taft for president and that he didn't sec the name of Taft on the voting machine The moderator, with a brogue in his voice, replied that he knew before he came over that votes were cast for presidential elec- tors and that he would prove it for the gentleman by any ten-year-old school child

 A generation ago, when your par ents were young men, there was less cooperation among men as they were engaged more then in business and manufacturing Then things depend ed on each man for their accomplish ment, but now q man has nearly all the resources of thc planet when he wants anything made.
 With these changes mon have come to have less rosponshllitv to each other and are apt to forget their duty and escape it more than waen men stood by themselves, and if he breaks down the organization suffers. In the old days, an immoral man was not as harmful as now.

 We have got to have mechanism but 1t isn't politics Men should read be- hind the mechanism and study the hls- tory of their country and political par ty.
