new TARIFF To Be ISSUED
Railroad Commission will An
nounce New Freight Rates.
New Tariff to be Somewhat Higher than
Old but Much Lower than Rates
Now in Force.

Little Rock, December, g.
Resulting from meeting yester-
day afternoon of number of local
iobbers with the Arkansas railroad
commission, it is probable the COM
mission will before the end of the
day issue new freight tariff, bit
higher than the one enjoined by
the railroads, to take effect immedi-
ately. This is intended to give
the shippers some relief from the
present rates, which are working
great hardships on all shippers in
the state. The commission has all
along declined to make higher
rates, for the reason that it might
have some bearing upon the in
junction case now pending in the
Federal court, the railroads constru-
Ing the making of new and
higher tariff as a concessions and
admission the old rates were to low.
Judge Triber has intimated such
construction could not be placed
upon a new tariff, and the shippers
are begging for it, for it is the only
salvation for the whole salers of
Arkansas.
Under the present rates the job
bling towns can reach only the

River Land All Rented.
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.

Another practical illustration of
the value of the levee in this coun-
ty which is now withstanding the
fourth flood this year, is the great
demand among renters for the land
protected by it. A party of farm
ers from Enola were on the river
the first of the week looking for
land, but they report that every
foot of it has already been rented
for the coming year. The rental
price is from IS to 81 per acre.

Popularity Contest.

One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the annual bazaar that the
Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian
church are preparing to have on
December 9 is the popularity con-
test for little girls under p years of
age, the prize to be one of Mrs.
w. D. Coles famous rag dolls.
These dolls have a world wide fame
and the little girl who is fortunate
enough to possess one of them
would not part with it for any
other. Their dainty clothes, their
pretty faces and shapely forms ap-
peal to the child and is a source
of endless pleasure and joy. One
ofthese beautiful dolls, long dress
ed baby, will be given to the little
girl who secures the greatest num-
Der of votes by December 9. The
votes are five cents each, and Mrs.
Sam Heiligers will have charge of
the contest. Little girls, here is

FROM THE
CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock. Dec. 2. = At the
meeting of the Arkansas river deep
water delegates here Saturday
day the principal theme will proba-
bly, be the organization of the $780,
900 packet company to place a
line of boats on the river to ply be-
tween Mississippi river points and
the head of navigation on the Ark
ansas, which is expected to be
Fort Smith nine months of the year
and Muskogee at least six months
of the year. H. F. Auten, who
has expressed his willingness to
take the first $1,000 of the stock of
such a company, states that he be-
lieves the company will he formed
Saturday and the stock will be sub
scribed all along the river.
"Without river navigation Little
Rock will never be a city" says
Mr., Auten, "for river navigation
brings cheap fuel and low freight
rates, and Arkansas at the present
and all other times needs them
BOTH
1t is thought the 100000 re-
quired to make the packet COM
pany success, will be distributed
among 100 men, each subscribing
$1,000.
Little is being said in the politi-
cal line as to who will be candi-
dates to oppose Senator Jeff Davis
for re election, and there is now
some doubt of Congressman Joe 7.
Robinson making an effort to land
the position of honor. Should
Congressman Robinson make the
race, however, it is openly assert
ed that Gov. x. 0. Pindall will be
candidate for his place in Con-
gress. Should this occur, Will
Martin of Hot Springs, formerly
National committeeman from Ark
ansas, will probably oppose Gov.
Pindall for the position.
Rumor says that State Senator
Kie Oldham, is to resign shortly
and move West with hope that
his health may be benefited. Close
friends of the Pulaski county SEN
ator admit there is chance for the
resignation being handed in soon,
but they will not discuss the mat
ter in detail. 1t is said the ques-
ton to be solved is the appoint
ment of a successor. The rumor
states H. M. Armistead and Ash
ley Cockrill, two of Little Rock s
leading attorneys, have been offer
ed the toga, and both have refused.
H. M. Armistead was asked con-
corning the report, and stated he
knew nothing of the intended res
ignation, nor had he been tender
ed the position, nor would he &C
cept 1t if it was offered him. Sen
ator Oldham has served but one
session in the senate, and is a
holdover for the coming session
of the general assembly.
The Arkansas delegate to the
National Rivers and Harbors AS
ISOLATION, the Conservation Confer
ance and the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, will leave Saturday
night in order to reach Washing
ton in time to take in the meetings
of all the conventions, which open
Tuesday. Gov. x. O. Pindall
will head the party.

streets they said we're in an unsightly
condition in good many places and
they thought that something ought to
be done to place them in better con-
dition before the many visitors that
we're expected arrived Ii was ex-
planned to them that the city could
not take any official action in regard
to having the streets cleaned as there
we're no funds for that purpose. A
resolution however was passed in
structing the city marshal to notify
poperty owners to clean up in front
ut their places and IL Is expected that
they will take pride in doing so.

REVENUE CUTTER TAHOMA
TO BE LAUNCHED SATURDAY

Washington, Oct. 5.-The revenue
cutter Tahoma, named in honor of
the City Of Tacoma, will be launched
at the yard of the New York Ship
Building Company, Camden, N. j.,
Saturday. October 10. Miss Grace
Clark Kahler, of Tacoma, will act
as sponsor of the vessel. The event
will be especially notable as 1t will
form part of the Founders week
celebration at Philadelphia. The
Tahoma takes the Indian name in
stead Of the present spelling of the
City Of Destiny, because a naval
cruiser has already been named in
honor of Tacoma and 1t was neces-
sary to avoid confusion of names.
The Tahoma will be one of the
crack vessels of the revenue cutter
service, especially for long distance
cruising, as she has a coal capacity
OF 225 tons and a fresh water ca
pacity Of IS tons.

tempts to see Secretary Garfield yes
terday with reference to prosecution
of alleged fraudulent timber land
cases In Linn and Lane counties, Ore
gon. Puter came to Washington to
impress upon the Government au-
thorities the Importance of winning
these cases. for he asserts that on
the 25 sections of land involved Is
timber worth s1,500.000. Title to
this land. according to Puter. was IL
legally obtained by c. NJ. Smith, Of
Minneapolis. Puter wants the Gov
ernment TO engage Francis J. Heney
to take charge Of the Governments
case. believing that he alone can have
Smiths titles set aside.
Discussing his mission to Wash
ington, Puter said:
Smith, who is worth about $751;
100000, is resisting suits filed a
short time ago and has employed
some OF the ablest attorneys on, the
Coast. think 1t would be better
to delay trial than to go into court
only half prepared. If 1t is impos-
sible to secure Heney's services. 1t
would be advisable to secure other
