 River.

Pinss Bluff. Ark. Dec. IA more hopeful feeling prevailed In this city tonight when. river authorities pre- dicted that the crest of the high wave would pass.
 The aitnation tonight is distinctly better and if the facines or willow mattresses. hold until Thursday night. the worst danger will be over. The north bank of the river cayeds in rap- idly today. giving relief to the south bank at Pine Bluff and the swift cur rent is not striking the endangered ground with such force as formerly.
 The. court house and Berline,s sta bles are now, the principal danger points. A part of the stable collapsed late today and the rushing waters are encroaching upon the remaining DOT ton of the building. All novabies were carried from the court house toe day and the big building stands prac- tically deserted. The situation in the rear of the Hotel Jefferson is no. worse than yesterday and hopes are enter tained that this structure win be saved
 General Superintendent Maxwell, of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway, arrived here tonight and placed the employees of the company. at the dls- possl of the citizens committee. | The students of the Ark ansas Branch Nornisl College have volun- teered their services and are now at
 work in an effort to protect the threatened property.

Appeals to wrlnht.

s's Little Rock. Ark. Dec, 2--United States Senator James P. Clark who re- turned today from Pine Bluff, Ark, sent a message to Secretary Luke E. Wright today urging him to take action that would allow the govern. ment levee on the Arkansas river north of Pine Bluff to be cut for the sake of saving the, city's properties. He has received no reply as yet.
 Senator Clark in his message says:
 "The condition of the river at Pine Bluff Issobviously one that calls for an Immediate technical examination undep your direction to ascertain, if the making of, a cutoff in the ArIxan- sas to the north of Pine Bluff is not the only effective. permanent and prompt :, remedy for the disastrous situation there.
 / The situation is extraordinary and in a business way appalling.

DlyniaaimItInw Boyd,s PoInt.

Little Rock, Ark., Dec, 3--A dispatch from Pine Bluff says that at 1 o'clock this (Thursday) morning Boyds Point. the extreme end of the long strip of land around which the Arkansas river makes an immense horse shoe bend and just opposjte Pine Bluff. is being demolished with dynamite in Che hopa of defecttng the current of the Arkan- sas river so that 1t will strike below the city or at least below the zone in which are heavy and costly buildings. which have been for the past thirty six hours endangered by the cavinR of the river banks on which the buildings stand, ,-.-, -,s-.-
 Those who are firing the shots are not known. but they are evidently well organized and have properly prepared for the work in hand.
 The first explosion was a very heavy one which shook the city. and was heard at $40 o'clock last night. and tho next which was even heavier came at 1N:2O Since that time there have been nearly 100 explosions, but few of them have been as heavy as the first one.
 The explosions have served to large Iv augment the crowds on the water front where many are awaiting the fall Of the new $2o.O00 annex to the Jefferson county court house which now appears in imminent danger of topping.
 From the Pine Bluff shore the watchers saw a flash. heard a muffled report and felt the ground tremblo under them No one ventures across the river as the current is running so strongly that only by the most skill ful handling. would small boat live in the stream. and the general impress sion is that the work Is being carried on there in good hands and sightseers might be invited away.

sELBY IN TIE LEAD.
Has Good Chance OF Capturing County
e Seat or Sta,worfh Ts

Il
Once more the county seat fight In
Waiworth county is attracting atten-
ton through the efforts of citizens Of
Selby who are now industriously en-
gagged in circulating a petition setting
forthssithe claims OF their town and
asking that the matter be submitted
to vote of he people so that it can
be settled for ali time. The present
county seat is at Bangor, a town that
now has about three houses and a
store. The petition is being widely cir
culated and it is reported it now con-
tains more than 900 signatures. This
county seat fight is one of the most
interesting in the history of the state.
Selby has long been anxious to have
the seat. established there; Java also
wants It, and Bangor, till lately has
made Vigorous protest against any
change. Some time ago some of Sell
by's enterprising citizens made a raid
on the court house, secured possession
OF the records, and hauled them to
their town. There was damage done
to the county building. but this meth
of capturing the county seat was not
productive of permanent results, for
suit was begun, and Selby was required
to return the records and make good
the damage. 1t is now believed that
this long standing controversy will be
settled by the removal of the seat
to Selby ....
