Chicago, Oct. 9.-Nearly one thou
sand of our very best citizens and
several tourists from adjoining cities
were today jostled off the South side
boulevards by sundry large, thick po-
licemen and forced to do their speed

due to the discovery of forgotten
ordinance which forbids any vehicle
on the boulevards which emits smoke
or any "stinking odor."

The Harrison times., 1908-10-17

A friend from the east who visited
Harrison last spring, writes inter
estingly IN a private letter OF the
good features OF the town and sec
ton, and then tells OF our needs in
manner which will will beequallv en-
tertainiug to those who are willing
to consider with a view to improve
ment, He says:
Il cannot understand why a town
so large does not have a branch of
the Y. NJ. {. A., an organization
which is considered indispensable by
the Christians and young men else
where; nor why your long.headed
business men do not feel the need of
an organization such as a CONNER

explainable apathy in Harrison as
to organization on any line; your
lodges all feel this.

Crushed The Life Out OF Him.
Man Killed by the Topping OF an En-
CINE Near Hill Top.

On Monday last K. W. Smith, an
engineer and mill man formerly of
Plttsburg, Pa, came to terrible
death by being crushed to death
beneath the ponderous weight of
large stationary engine.
About three weeks ago he bought
the saw-mill at Hill Top from Mr..
Buell., and went to work. He de-
cided the engine was on a rickety
foundation, and lacking it up, went
to work digging a hole to put in a
stone foundation. Under one end
the foundation wall had been built,
but the other end was resting on a
piece of Scantlino across the pit, He
had Just called his helper, ] W, Nor
gan out of the pit and went in to
dig, and had struck one or two
blows with the pick, when the
ground on which the scantling was
resting gave way, dropping the en-
CINE on his head and shoulders,
crushing him into the earth He liv-
ed about ten minutes, only speaking
once or twice, asking for air, one OF
the men scraping the dirt out from
under his face, so he could breathe
while they were hosting the engine
from him, but he died before he was
released.
Mr.. Smith was about "a years
old: he came came to Hill Top from
Pennsylvania, and his wife and three
lit tie children were getting ready to
come to him next week. His broth
er came from Pennsylvania, and
started home with the body yester-
dav.

EDITOR TINES;
The people living in the towns and
the farmers living in the country,
and ali owning land in the territory
through which the proposed Harrl'
son and Mineral Belt Railroad is to
be built to connect with the great
Missouri Pacific Railroad System
south to Clarksville, to the great
coal fields, and to deep water at the
Arkansas river, will have much to do
with the success or failure of the
project, and should come to tar
and sober understanding Of the con-
ditions as they exist. :
Everybody who has watched the
Progress that has been MADE in the
southwest in Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Texas, during the past ten years
must admit that this great advance
ment has been due to the coming OF
new railroads. Along these new
railroads built in Arkansas, Okla
homa and Texas, land which was
sold for one dollar an acre five or six
years ago, now brings from fifteen to
fifty dollars an acre, and even more,
in many localities, and it has been
the railroads that have brought
about the change.
In many to wns in Arkansas Tex
as and Oklahoma where five or six
years ago lots sold from fifteen to
one hundred dollars, they now
bring from orc hundred and fifty
dollars to five thousand dollars, de.
pending upon the location and size
of the town. 1t was the work OF
the railroads, for without them nei-
ther the town nor the land would
be at all desirable for a progressive
citizenship; this is true all over the
country,
Many a meritoriouS project has
died because of TIE people standing
ia their own light, because they do
not help to get that which will be
of direct benefit.
When it is announced that rail-
road is going TO be built, the people
The Harrison times., 1908-10-17

as a rule expect too much Of the
proposition right at the beginning
the farmers put a big price on their
land for right.of,way; towns JUMP
up on their lots for terminals, not
stopping to think Of what the rail
road will mean to them and theil
land in the future. They do not
seem to think it is their almost sa
cred duty to first help the railroad,
and that in due time the railroad
will help them, in that it will ad
vance the value of their property.
When a company seeking to builc
road through an undevelopec
country asks for a bonus, many peo
pie howl railroad graft not
knowing whereof they speak, and
get the people divided, and often lose
the road to their own detriment.
We need to wake up along these
lines, and give the welcome hand tc
the enterprise that will be the max
ing of the towns and the country
which it will traverse.
1t has been proposed to build the
Harrison Mineral Belt Railroad and
they are now making the survey,
The survey will be extended from
Harrison to Jasper on to Clarksville
where connection is made with the
Iron Mountain Railroad and to the
largest coal fields in the south, and
then to oeep water via the Arkansas
river.
Construction will commence in
the next ten or fifteen days, when a
large force of men and teams will be
put to work between Harrison and
the White River Branch of the Mis-.
souri Pacific railroad.
This enterprise bids fair to sue,
ceed but the nnal results remain
with the people and land, owners
south of Harrison, to make the con.
ditions such as will produce the de.
sired results. No railroad can be
financed simply because it is good
proposition,
People must get behind the road
substantially, and show their own
faith before they can expect to en-
gage the serious attention of men
of money to construct and equip the
road,

ClarksyilIe Watching Our Railroad.

A. NJ. Ward made a trip to North
Arkansas last week, looking for a
railroad headed this way While
gone he was in Eureka Springs for a
few hours and spent a few hours in
Berryvllle. At Harrison, the point
of destination, he spent a pleasant
time with ] X. Newman, editor of
the Times. Here we also met W. A..
Squlres, promoter of the new rail
road proposed to be built from
Bergman on the Mo- Pacific, south
to Harrison by way OF Jasper to
Clarksvile. The citizens of Harri.
son have every confidence that the
road will be built, and at once; that
is work will be begun at once, 1t is
the purpose of the builders to com
plete the road from Bergman to
Harrison and have trains in oper-
alton on that portion of the road
before extending the line further,
then build from there to Jasper and
from Jasper 70 Clarksville. We be-
lieve, since our visit to Harrison,
that the road will be built, We
will have more to say occasionally
on the matter from time to time, as
the work advances. - ClarkSville

A Couple of New Enterprises for
Harrison.
A Canning Factory from Missouri and {
Handle Factory from Georgia Head
ed this Way.

W. A. Squires is authority for the
statement that there will be a can
ming factory in full operation in
Harrison by the first of May, 1903,
This will stand as tip for our
farmers to raise blackberries, cher.
ries, gooseberries, egg plant, peach
es, pears in the fruit line; and vege.
tables such as Lima beans, string
beans, sweet corn, peas pumpkins
and tomatoes, with the assurance
that all will find ready market.
This cannerv will call for the
erection of a considerable factory
building, and it is estimated that
from ten to fifteen persons will be
employed. This isa starter for the
many things that will come to Har-
rison when the Harrison and Mineral
Belt Railroad makes its way into
the city.
Since the new railroad has been
assured, inquiry has been received
from parties in Gainesville, Georgia,
who are seeking information on
which to base the location of a fac.
tory to make broom handles, mop
handles, hatchet handles, and many
other things. Should this factory
locate in Harrison they will employ
from ten to hitetn men and will ask
no subsidy to locate here

THE former three-cent passenger

will be put into effect Oct. 20 The
trunk lines of the state have

commission the new passenger tariff
showing the increase in passenger
rates. The announcement OF the
increase in passenger rates from two
to three cents follows hard on the
heels of the announcement of the in.
crease in freight rates in Arkansas
ranging from 80 to l66 per cent.
Both increases are the result OF the
