ROCK
 IS CELEBRATING

Little Rock, June I8.-Bands from all over the state are here to- day to take part in the state band concert which opens this afternoon. How many bands will participate will not be known until tomorrow, as many of them will not get in before Saturday, when they will take part i'll the boat celebration and the entertainment Saturday night, then compete for the prizes Sunday. It is expected that fully 20, 900 visitors will be in Little Rock tomorrow when the new boats, Grand and Rapids, arrive. These boats are to be operated by the Little Rock Packet Go. between Little Rock and up river points. A very elaborate program has been prepared for the occasion, as the boats are expected to revive the navigation of the Arkansas river and produce cheaper freight rates. There will be races on the river in the afternoon, after the boats have arrived and been royal ly welcomed. At night there will be big parade on the river, with fireworks on the Argenta bank of the Arkansas river.

RAILROAD FOR PERRYVILLE
Dream of Perry County Seat to
 be Realized.
Houston, a Distance of Seven Miles.

Perryville, June I8.-Perryville, the county seat of Perry county and one of the oldest towns in cen tral Arkansas, is at least to have its dreams for a railroad realized, according to the action of the board of railway incorporation which has granted charter to the Valley Railway Company.
 The line is to be built from Houston, on the Rock Island, and will have total length of seven miles. The men back of the prop osition are all Perryville business men, and the capital stock of the company is placed at SIoo, 900, the estimated cost of constructing the road, together with the equipment incident to it's operation,
 The incorporators are: J. E. Rose, J. H. Bowen, A. F. Leigh, $. V. Taylor, w, F. Pitts, John l., Hill, Frank c. Faust, G. H. Buckingham and J. J. Rankin. Fourteen thousand dollars of the stock, or g. ,ooo per mile, has been subscribed.
 Perryville lies to the south of the main line of the Rock Island. The present mode of reaching the town is by stage from Perry, it's nearest railroad point. The line road is over a mountain of no small proportions, however, mak ing anything but a pleasant drive.
 The connection with Houston, which is several miles east of Per ryvllle, lies along the lower land, following the Fourche valley, and to great extent avoiding the mountains.

COMMISSION GAINS A POINT
Judge Trieber Settles Disputed
 Coal Rates.
Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt Passenger Rate Hearing Set for
 April |, 1910.

Little Rock, June 18.-Special.
 Judge Jacob Trieber yesterday struck the Iron Mountain and Cot ton Belt railroads hardblow in an order entered by him in the United States Circuit court, setting defin- ately the time for the trial of the railroad suit on the passenger rate to be charged in Arkansas. The attorneys representing the Arkan- sas railroad commission, as well as those representing the railroads, met in the court of Judge Trieber to hear a rulings on the contested coal rates i'll the state. The rail- ro ads kicked out on the commits sion's suggestion on the settlement of the coal rate question, and Judge Trieber had to be resorted to. He made a ruling knocking out competitive points and grant ing differential rate of IS cents on two road hauls, or more than two roads, with the exception of the Midland Valley connections with Missouri Pacific and Frisco, which is to be considered a one line haul. All coal mining camps of the western part of the state are placed on a common basis and rated ac- cording to the rate from Coal Hill to Little Rock. This ruling per mits the Iron Mountain to control the shipment of coal on it's lines, and the Rock Island the same, without coal being shipped in from other lines.
 When Judge Trieber concluded his ruling, Judge J. M. Hill arose and informed the court that the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt had refused to make a passenger rate of 215 cents per mile, as had
The log cabin Democrat., 1909-06-18

the other roads, and asked for an immediate trial of the suit against the Iron Mountain. Col. J. M. Moore objected to this strenuously. Judge Hill entreated Judge Trie- Der to call trial immediately, say ing he was willing aud anxious to go without his summer vacation to fight the railroad in court and force them down to rate the same as is being given by the other roads. Col. Moore pleaded for time for the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain. Judge Trieber finally appointed Judge P. c. Dooley as special master to take testimony i'll the case and to begin October l.. He ordered that the plaintiff be given 60 days for the taking of testimony, and the defendant fol- low with like period. The plain tiff then gets month for rebuttal and the defendant month also for surrebuttal. This will take,the case up to April I, when Judge Trieber thinks it should be ready for trial. Judge Trieber also ordered the railroads to permit the accountants and attorneys of the commission to inspect whatever books of the companies they might desire to see. This ruling is very pleasing to the attorneys for the commits sion, who have been working for months for such ruling.

before the end of the week, there will be no board of arbitration, as Judge Trieber has stated he will not serve as a member unless the agreement of Calwell & Drake to accept the findings of the. board, is filled by next Monday. The con- tractors say that they expressed a willingness to abide by the deci- sion of the board if an early deci- sion was rendered, and a guaran- tee was made the money would be paid to the contractors accord ing to the finding .of the board. The members of the board of arbi- tration intimated that it would take two months to receive the testimony before special master, then have it prepared for presenta- ton to the :board and the argu- ments of the two sides made.
 Some decision will be made within day or so as to whether or not the contractors could receive the award out of the Oldham bill fund. If a favorable decision is rendered on this, the matter will probably be simplitied to great extent.

Grating under the act of June 80, 1906,
which directed the commission to in
Vestigate and report upon the block
signal systems and appliances for the
automatic control of railway trains in
the United States. There has been
much investigation and a number of
tests. All tests of patents are made
at the expense of the inventors or
owners So far little has been
discovered that would recommend it
self. Out of all patents for safety ap-
planes 95 per cent proved to be
without any merit and a goodly per-
centage of the remainder is doubtful.
When the owner of the patent sub
mits his appliance to the board pre-
liminary test is made and if it is con-
sidered worthy of further experiment
an official test is ordered. Mr.. st.
Clair has formed company, with Of
fices in Indianapolis, to meet the ex-
penses of a thorough test and the
claims made for the patent are very
extensive.
