OF CONTRACTORS
Little Rock 4 Pine Bluff Traction
Co. File Motion to Require Perry
n Lnvillc to File Copy of
Their Contract for Construction
Work.

Answers TO suits filed by Linville
& Perry in two courts to collect for
arading done on the Little Rock
and Pine Bluff Traction Company
Ere, were filed yesterday morning
at Little Rock. The first is mo-
tion made in the Circuit Court, to
i'ave the complaint Of the suit of
the contractors against the direc-
tors OF the traction company made
more specific. The contractors ask
ed to state If the contract for the
q; miles OF construction was made
orally or in writing, and if in writ
ing, to present a copy Of the con-
tract.
IN the Chancery Court the de-
foDdants file an answer, denying
that Linville & Perry entered into
envy contract with Fiske, the alb
Sccnding president OF the Mne, for
the construction of the Is mhes of
track; that 4 contract was entered
into with Fiske as president; that a
contract was entered into for the
benefit of the traction company,
that contract was accepted by the
company, that any grading or work
has been done for the company,
that there is $4,000 or any other
amount due for the work that the
company is inso' vent, or that the
contractors are entitled to lien.
In the Chance"y Court a motion
to strike out the clause in the COM
plant: ''In the articles of associa-
ton by which the company was or
Sfan'zed in July, 1907, was a GER
tiicate by the president of the COM
pany and the directors in which it
IS said the company had a paid up
capital of $1,000. Said certificate
was false and no capital was paid
H.
This the directors of the company
ask to be stricken from the plain
tiff's comp aint because it's a1lega-
tions are irrelevant, impertinent
and scandalous.
The directors of the traction com
pany have employed Murphy, Cole
nan and Lewis to defend them in
these suits.

A Clever Contribution.

Robert s. Trulock, a former resi-.
dent of Pine Bluff, recently contrib
uted rather clever poem to the Okla
homa City Daily Oklahoman, which
is being given wide publication in the
press throughout the country. A CODY
OF the poem has just reached the So
Getty EDITORS desk at the Graphic and
because Of its value from q literary
standpoint, we take great pleasure in
reproducing it. The poem follows:
THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
(Oklahoma City and Elsewhere. J
with apologies to r. Kipling.)
"a Fool there was, and he made his
prayer,
Given as you and y
To Rag, and q Bone, and a Hank o.
Hair
Who sat uptown i'll {; high-back chair
And listened to all that went on there.
Gwen as you and -
On, the years We waste and the tears
we waste
1t really beats the band.
why doesn't she answer the phone,
We know"
But now we know We never can know
And never will understand.
A Fool there was, but he didn't dare
Gwen as you and y
Say what he thought. He could only
swear
Low to himself, at the Hank o. Hair
And wish that the Manager was only
there
Instead of the Beautiful Lady Fair"
Even as you and II
So the Fool call'd on, till he nearly
died,
Given as you and y
'FPlease give me the number asked
for" he sighed,
But it isn't on record that the Lady
tried.
"Frst time you call'd in she cheer
fully lied
Given as you and ~.
And it isn't the Shame and it isn't the
Blame
That sears like a white-hot brand;
It's coming, to know that you'll never
know&'why'
Seeing at last you will never know
why
She will not understand.

TO OPEN NEW PARK.
Exercises Will Be Held Week From
Tomorrow.

1t is planned to formally open the
new city park on Sunday, September
g. A special program will be given by
the Eagles band and other attractive
features are also be planned for the
occasion.
Few people in the city realize what
changes have come over the park since
the energetic campaign started by
several of Walla Walla's prominent
people and the securing of the SER
vices of Park Superintendent G. L.
Slsutt
There are at present two artificial
lakes which add greatly to the attract
iveness of the park. Trees have been
planted and while they are still small
it is expected that by next sumner they
will have grown sufficiently to add ma
terially to the beauty and attractive
ness Of Walla Walla's new city park
A fine lawn is kept in constant shape
and shrubbery and bushes help to make
the park attractive.
