Nothing New in |. M. Situation

Today has developed nothing new in the situation as regards the Gould railway system, which would seem to confirm the state ment yesterday from George Gould that all is well with the Missouri PacifcsIron Mountain and other Gould lines, with the single exception of the slump in Gould stocks along with the general weakness of railway stocks in general.
 The continued delay of the pay car on the Iron Mountain occas- ions much discussion, especially since no notice was given of the time of arrival today.

Cur Visit to Emmett.

Mrs. Rutherford and "ye writer" were up by times yes terday morning and felt the pinch, and saw the beauty of sparkling frost on walk and grass.
 The visit was a decided sue cess-just as we had faith to be- lieye it would be. We've always known that little city had more inteIlectuality and spirituality in it than most any other place of it's size, and it has been the dream and prayer of our life to get some of it focused toward the work of our great organization of the w. C. T. U., and we have succeeded.
 Mrs. Rutherford's splendid talk to the school resulted in the organization of a fine Loyal Tem- perance League which will be under the leadership of Miss Christopher and MT. Calhoun, two of the enterprising teachers. Quite a nice class of pupils of the high school will take the course of study prepared for the Senior grade. This last class will be led by Prof. Mitchell, who also subscribed for, and will take the course of study with them.
 Don't forget friends the at home' of the w. C. T. U. with Mrs. Jno. M. Pittman Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. We are anxious for all the ladies (and men tool to meet Mrs. Ruther- ford our State Secretary who is now in the field in tie interest of the work.

Want Extension of Time.

A proposition that is very ser ious to many thousands of peo- pie residing at and in the vicinity of small road stations through out the country, was presented to the Interstate Commerce Com mission in an informal petition in which the railroad companies ask fo" an extension of time for going into effect of the nine-hOur law, which applies to railway employees who have the direction of the movements of trains. It is declared in the petition that unless an order of extension is made either by the commission or by Congress, the only alter native is the closing of a large number of stations.
 L. w. Quick, general secretary of the Order of Railroad Tele. graphers has issued the follow, ing bulletin to all roads:
 St. Louis, Feb, 20, 1908. All Operators;
 Notify all operators seeking employment to make written application to some road. Send ing copy of application to II. B.. Perham, National Hotel, Wash ington, D. C., to be received not later than February 26.

 ''They deny that because of the publication of said list the plaintiff was unable to obtain credit; but alleges that the plain tiff before the publication of said list had been refused and could not obtain credit, and that the publication of said list in no way affected plaintiffs credit.
 Further answering the de fendants say: That said lists are prepared for the mutual and exclusive use of the members of said Retail Merchants Associa- tion ard no one else and that's aid lists are not made public; but are privileged and confidential com munications and that any pub licity that has given the same as far as plaintiff is concerned was and has been caused by his own acts.

ReneWs Attack on Rhcion.
Special to the News.

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-(2 D. m.) A message from Eureka Springs today says Senator Jeff Davis reneWs attacks on Prosecuting Attorney Lewis Rhoton. Little Rock District. Senator Davis has just seen statement issued by Rhoton at Washington City the day Davis opened campaign for Kirby. He characterizes Rhoton s statements as lies, pure and simple, with no semblance of truth. T never promised to pardon Cook or Cox, and I tried to get Rhoton to indict both of them. When Rhoton says 1 did not, he lies like a dog and he knows it. 1 never tried to get him to indict Bob Rogers. I will meet him at Argenta March "A, if he desires to face the peo- pie with these charges. I charge that he has accepted money from baudy houses and gamblers and has been derelict in his duty"

 Defendants deny that sad list is ''black list" deny that said list is any way circulated or given to the public, but say that it is a confidential list known only to the members of the Associa tion and that said list as printed contains nothing to in any way reflect upon the character, yer acity, integrity, or standing in the community of the parties whose names appear on said list.
 Defendants deny that during the month of January and Feb ruary, 1908, or at any other time these defendants made, printed, published, or circulated in the city of Prescott, Arkansas, and in Nevada County a certain copy or copies of said list and that by virtue of these defendants orders and directions, plaintiffs name was printed thereon, with the purpose and intention of defam- ing plaintiffs good name as an upright and honest citizen, or for the purpose of humiliating, em- barrasing, or injuring plaintiff, or of branding him in the estima- tion of the public generally, as being dishonest, disreputable, and unreliable and unworthy of the esteem and confidence of the public.
 These defendants deny that the p a in t i If s name was placed upon the sad list by them, or either of them, or by the order or dil ilection of either of them, or or that they or either of them are in any way responsible for plaintiffs name appearing upon said list.

 Defendants state that they are informed and believe that other members of said associa- tion had caused said plaintiffs name to be placed upon said list, and that his name was rightfully placed thereon, but they emphati- cally deny that they caused the

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH

After following streak Of ore north
on the vein on the Village Blacksmith
to reach pout under the ancient ore
shoot worked by Trask many years
ago, the present manager began an up
raise under the shoot. He has run in
TO good grade of ore in this upraise,
but expects to have to continue it up
go feet from the bottom to reach the
old Trask shaft, which will supply the
tunnel with air The. character of ore
in the uprase induced him TO go back
in the tunnel and cross-cut for the
wall. In doing this the first. drill hole
went into good ore within six inches,
and further prospecting developed the
fact that the tunnel for fully the last As
feet Of its length had run Within very
few inches Of streak Of ore six inches
wide which the miners say, prospects
not less than 800 in gold They will
now strip the side of the tunnel and
take down and sack this ore for treat
ment, as we'll as continue work on the
upraise to learn what the Trask shoot
of ore may develop.

A LITTLE IRRIGATION EN-
TERPRISE.

James L. Wees, recently lessee of
the Crocheron ranch on sinker creek,
having sold his lease to the party
purchasing the ranch short time ago,
has taken up tract of land on the
south bank of Snake river, be
Castle creek, commonly known as
"Jackass Flat" and will undertake to
reclaim it with water brought by a
five mile ditch from Castle crek, the
water to be stored in a reservoir near
the land. Mr. Wees has had the line of
ditch surveyed at considerable cost
and the right to the water secured from
the state engineer and will begin work
without delay. Jackass Flat is a su-
perb piece of Snake river bottom land
and will make one of the finest fruit
and hay ranches anywhere on the riv-
er. He mas taken it up under the
desert land act
