removal Of the main would mean.
an expenditure Of some $4,000, be-
sides tying up practically the
greater part of the city for several
weeks, and cutting off the entire
supply to the main portion Of the
city. The difficulty seems to be in
the meaning which has to be placed
on certain sections of the franchise.
An endeavor will be made to
straighten out the meaning Of these
sections to the mutual satisfaction
of both the Water company and
the council.
THAT ELECTRIC VALVE
The matter Of the electric valve
which under the new franchise the
water company is to furnish at the
standpipe was brot up, and Col.
Slower stated that he had diligently
looked for some reliable valve such
as was required but up to the pres
ent time had been unable to find
any. There were plenty of valves
on the market, he said, but none
of the manufacturers would guar
antee them to work. If the valve
should stick, as such valves are
liable to do at any time, it might
cause endless trouble. The council
stated their willingness to allow
Mr.. Slower to wait till he found
a valve that would do the work
satisfactorily.
CIVIC LEAGUE WANTS MONEY
The Civic League asked for ar
appropriation of $25 to be expend:
cd on the Oak street park, so as tt

 STATE LEAGuE E
This City Will Be Represen ted at the Big Meeting to Be Held in Hot Springs sunday-sx Club Circuit Pro- posed-Is Generally Fla vored Here - Other Towns Are Enthusiastic Entirely With the Fans.

Does Pine R uff want state league baseball?
 The answer is entirely with the fans of the city and the interest they manifest in the proposition.
 Past experiences of a few local fans, who were relied upon solely by many local lovers of the diamond to do all the work, put up all the money and promote the sport, have been costly. But it is figured that the cost of baseball in the proposed State league will not be one-third as heavy as that incurred by local fans in the Cotton States League several years ago.
 A meeting will be held in Ho. Springs Sunday by representatives of the" varios towns in this state and one in Missouri, who are anxious to have representation in the Arkasas State League this season. This meeting will be attended by F. E. Cherot, general manager of the ii,- terests of the Citizens Light ano Transit Company; T. Havis Nixon, former owner and manager of the Pine Bluff independent team and (. State League team, and Meyer Solmson. They will go to Hot Springs Sunday morning. At this meeting the proposed circuit and other matters pertaining to 1t wilt be discussed. It will then be en- tirely with local 1ans whether or not Pine Bluff will be in the well planned State League.-.

Riggs of the Hot Springs baseball club, spent yester- day in Pine Bluff comforting with local fans relative to the orgaEiza- tion of team in this city, 70 be q member of the State League He met with general encouragement and the indications are that Pine Bluff will in a probah.'itY have a team in the State League and in cidentally make it warm for some of the other clubs iu the circuit.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-The oass" ing of the sentence of death by tho court martial upon Lie.-General &oesse1, who was tried on charges >>' cowardice and treason in surrenderlog Port Arthur to the Japanese was re- ceived with little satisfaction the Russian capital, where it is felt .he trial Of Generals Stoessel, Fock, Reiss and Smirnof have done practically nothing towards establishing the real responsibility for the fall of the fort ress. The court indeed decided the extent of the guilt of Stoessel and t. , other generals but it neglected to judge the system of which they were the product. It declined to admit tes- timony regarding the prepararedness of the fortress at the beginning of the war. the role of the navy in the de- fense of the marine stronghold and other underlying factors in the .hu- initiation of Russia. Newspapers to- day express sympathy with General Stoessel and declare tho .eF'' sen- tence will undoubtedly be commuted. They demand also that General Kuro- patkin, Viceroy Alexieff and other officers still more intimately respon- sible for the loss Of the war be placed on trial.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.--Attempts that had been planned against tue lives of exalted personages were frus- trated by the police last night by succession of arrests in various parts G the city, aggregating 50 men and women. This is the greatest number of terrorists ever taken by the police in the capital. The majority of chem were heavily armed, some with bombs and made a desperate resistance against the police. During the course oe the arrests, three policemen were wounded and one was killed.

PRODUCTION OF SPELTER
Advance Statement Issued by the
United State Geological
SURVEY

An advance statement of the produc-
ton of Spelter in the United States
has been issued by the United States
Geological Survey. From the state
ment it is learned that the total pro-
duction of spelter in the United States
in 1907 was 249, $50 tons, or an increase
of II 2 percent over the production of
the previous year. The production of
spelter in the world in 1907 was Sl3 ,S42
tons-an increase of 40 percent over
the production of the previous year.
The report further shows that Wiscon-
sin ranks third among the states in
the amount OF spelter produced.
Missouri comes first, with 141, 824 tons {;
Colorado second, with 26,077 tons;
Wisconsin third, with 1928 tons.
While Wisconsin shows an increase
of APIS tons over 1906, Colorado
shows a falling off of 6,379 tons.

Water power is one of the greatest OF
these gifts. 1t is destined to provide
the means of lighting the homes of the
poor as the homes of the rich are now
lighted; to heat them, perhaps, and to
furnish cheap power to the small man
ufacturer.
The tranmission to faraway points
of electric current generated by water
power promises to be so successful as
to revolutionize the present systems
of lighting and heating and manufac-
turing. Electric current generated at
the Dells of the Wisconsin, 40 miles
from Milwaukee, is to be used to oper-
ate interurban cars between Watertown
and Milwaukee. Current generated at
points inland from the west shore of
Green bay is to be carried under the
waters of that bay to the Door PENN
shla. Successful transmission OF cur
rent from distant parts of the state to
Milwaukee and to other points that
lack water power will mean much to
the people-or, at any rate, it should
mean much.
Under the system of public utility
regulation now in force in Wisconsin,
the people are reasonably well assur-
ed of protection in the matters of
rates and service but the state should
be exceedingly careful in determining
the terms of the franchises that water
power companies seek. The people of
the state should never be in the pre-
carious position of many settlers in
the west, where private corporations
have harnessed the waters of the can
yons and to those who need them, who
must have the means of irrigation or
be ruined, charge exactly what they
will, whether the price be reasonable
or exorbitant.
The problem is big one. The
state, which has provided for regula-
ton, should exercise the utmost care
in the granting of franchises. It must
protect the people from perpetual
monopoly.

IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS
Opinion of Dean Henry on the
Constitutional Amendment for
State Aid for Roads.

AS many people are interested in
the constitutional amendment to per-
nit the State to aid in improving
roads the following expressions from
a man who has had the interests OF
the farmers of Wisconsin at heart for
many years cannot fail to be of value.
The passage of this amendment is
the first stop toward the adoption of
road system under which any town
that is progressive enough to vote to
improve it's roads can get aid from
the State. The town first votes of its
own free will, to improve its roads,
and when it has done so the county
and state help to pay for them.
When asked for his opinion Dean
Henry said:
"Any attempt to change the constitu-
ton of Wisconsin to allow for inter-
nal Improvements will naturally be
preceded by much agitation and dis
cussion. Discussion concerning our
public highways cannot but be pro-
ductive of good, for now that the
pioneer stage of agriculture is past,
rural progress from this time on is
more directly dependent on the condi-
tions of our highways than on any
other factor. Whoever studies the
present conditions of our roads and
our manner of dealing with them must
admit that the whole situation is bad.
1t may be expressed by the two words,
ARRESTED development" am in
favor of any and all efforts that will
help bring about the real improve
ments of our highways"
