C.. T. Proper and E. Henry, representing a construction com- pany that Is figuring on building an electric inter-urban railway 1n this section, were in Springdale first of the week. A public meet ing was held at the Auditorium Tuesday night to hear their prop osition. l.. T. Lane was elected chairman of the meeting and Jno. F. Stafford secretary.
 Mr. Proper explained that his company proposed building a road from Joplin, Mo-, to Pea Ridge, this state, thence to Ben- tonville, thence to Siloam Springs and from Siloam Springs to Tontitown, Springdale, and through Naughan's valley III Madison County to Huntsville, and back by way of War Eagle, Monte Ne, Rogers and thence to intersecs the line at Bentonville He wants the people i'll the communities through which the line runs to subscribe stock in the enterprise to the amount of S40O,000, which may be paid in money, work, ties, right-of-way, etc. When this amount IS raised the company will begin work, and the road bed will be bonded for money sufficient to complete the line and put 1t in operation. No specific amount was asked from Springdale, but the town is eX- pected to assist the enterprise as liberally as possible. A number of towns have already enlisted in the enterprise, and Mir. Proper stated that Bentonville had rals- ca S1Ss, GOO and Pea Ridge S5o,- GOO. No donations are asked, and those who contribute will be given stock in the road.
 At the suggestion of Mr. Proper, Mayor Lane appointed d committee to represent Spring dale and to act with committees from other towns. Mir.

LAKE OF GOLD.
Prospector Returns From Alaska With
Marvellous Tale.

]. c. Hosler, who recently returned
to Seattle, Wash, from Alaska with
a weird tale about lake of gold, says
he has discovered the lake and as
proof brought with him a pouch of
nuggets worth over $4,000, says a
Seattle special dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Hosler went to the assay office and
asked whether it could pay on gold as
well as at a mint. He said that three
months ago he met an Indian north
of Bellingham who had shot his squaw
after she had beaten him and was in
hiding The Indian became sick, and
Hosler cared for him. Out of graft
tude the Indian showed him lake
where there were countless nuggets.
The Indians, he says, worship the
nuggets and drop them back into the
lake. One night, he said, he slipped
into the cold water of the lake, being
careful to avoid the superstitious In
dians. and In a few hours collected
the nuggets he brought back with
him. He says the Indians call the
body of water the Lake of Gold.
