GOING AFTER
 THE BUSINESS

Early this morning large group of enthusiastic boosters of Conway started on a weeks trip into the inland country lying north of Con- way, with the avowed intention of convincing the people of this sec ton that Conway is the best place on earth to trade. The excursion was gotten up under the auspices of the Board of Trade. A repre- sentative of this organization will post up hundreds of big signs, bearing the words Bring Your Cotton and Produce to CONWAY, the Best Market in the State, !" and will deliver thousands of fold CTS setting forth the advantages ot Conway as a trade center.
 Several of the leading merchants have also sent representatives, talk ing along with them large quanti- ties of individual advertising mat ter, all of which is so prepared as to advertise Conway generally as well as the merchant in particular.
 The trip will consume the en- tire week. Arriving at Wooster this morning, the party will go thence into the eastern part ot Con- way county and circle into the southern portions of Cleburne and Van Buren counties, returning through the western edge of White county.
 Last fall a similar trip was made under the auspices of the Board of Trade and its results were bene- ficial in attracting trade which had never before come to this city. Those whoicame have themselves proved a great advertisement for Conway in freely expressing to their neighbors their satisfaction over the good treatment received while here.

Word says the train bearing the inhabitants
dtched in the midst Of burning forest Searching parties

The fire advanced to Mllersburg and destroyed that
town.
Two relief trains that left Apena for the

When the whole story is known, the fire will be the
most appalling in the history of this part of the country
There is hope for the two hundred refugees the

One refugee who arrived here today corroboraed the

DEPUTY BREAKS
INTO HEARST'S
ROOM

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 16.-Hearst
was served with papers in a suit
for 100000 libel damages by Has
kell as he was passing through
this city early today.
A deputy boarded the train and
found Hearst's stateroom locked.
Mrs. Hearst announced through
the keyhole that her husband was
out sending a telegram.
The deputy then use dhis shout
oder as a battering ram and forced
the door. He fell in the room and
Mrs. Hearst, half dressed, rushed
along the aisle screaming. Hearst
appeared and accepted service.
The suit vas filed at II last
night. 1t is based upon the state
ments of Hearst that Haskell is
the agent of Standard Oil, which
resulted in Haskell's resignation
as democratic campaign treasurer

that If the o. r. & N. Co., which
now owns the land, succeeds in es-
tablishing yards on the premises,
as planned, there will be an i'm
mediate necessity for the removal
of the county headquarters and
the abandonment of the present
stately courthouse because of the
noise. Ever since the railroad
company has acquired the property
there has been more or less discus
sion of the difficulty of conducting
court under the din and roar that
arise from railroad yards.
The railroad company acquired
eight blocks in a double row run
ming west of the depot with the
ultimate intention of establishing
their yards in that section of the
city but were unable to obtain the
councils consent to a surface
right-of-way for tracks across
North Monr De street. At that the
matter has rested and since its
failure to secure the concession
from the city, the o. r. & N. Co.
has made the purchase of several
tracts of land In the extreme east
ern portion of the city for yard
purposes and II may be that they
have abandoned the idea of using
the land adjoining the courthouse
for that purpose.
However, the ground Is not for
sale and the railroad company has
set no price upon 1t. If the land
is secured at all it is probable that
1t will be as the result of success
full condemnation proceedings. Mr..
Shine stated this morning that
there was no doubt but what this
could be done.
The particular property that II
Is proposed to acquire is the
square block just north of the
courthouse and the two blocks just
east and west of this. 1t was
stated at the courthouse this morn
ing that less than 10 years ago the
south half of this property could
have been had for $4,000, but the
price demanded now will run well
up into six figures.

the rate of 90 cents for each 500,

their money where they know it

Almost to a man they endorse
the plan of guaranteeing deposits,
and the farmers are also favor
able to the idea. l can tell that
by theh way in which they ap-
plaud the arguments in favor of
the guaranty system.

Mr.. Goodyear stated that he
would have to cancel a Spokane
date made for him on October 80
and would be able to deliver NO
more addresses in this city.

WHY DOESN'T CITY CLAIM
THIS $4,000 FORFEIT

did begin, but that is as far as 1t
got. The fact that the main pro-
visions of the franchise covering
the building of the plant have not
been complied with has practically
annulled the franchise, but reso-
luton noting this fact is necessary
by the city council before the mat
ter is finally closed.
The franchise was an ideal one
for the consumers of gas and for
the citizens at large. 1t contained
all the up-to-date provisions, such
as control of prices, franchise tax
on gross earnings and the right
of the city to buy the plant If it
saw fit.
The $1,000 paid in has been
drawing interest for nearly two
years at the Spokane & Eastern
Trust Co., where it was deposited
by City Treasurer M. H. Eggleston.

MERR|TT'S HEAD TO DROP

to be blown in Monday night
There is no kick on the part of
anyone as to the handling of the
job, it is said, but the kick comes
primarily from citizens who claim
mismanagement In the gathering
of garbage, etc. These complaints
have been numerous since the de-
partment took over the exclusive
handling of garbage. An ordinance
was passed prohibiting the collec-
ton of garbage by private con.
Germs The latter now have the
matter in the courts, contending
that the city has no right to a
monopoly which puts them out of
business.
However, there is a joker in the
ordinance which may cause some
trouble about Lockhart's appoint
ment. 1t requires the superinten.
dent to be a licensed engineer.
Lockhart is an engineer but I'M
licensed. He claims, however, that
he is able to pass examination. In
case Lockhart cannot pass exam
nation. in order to give him the
superintendency il will be neces-
sary to eliminate the Joker" by
amending the ordinance.
