ANOTHER ROAD
 FOR LITTLE ROCK
Memphis, Paris and Gulf May Extend
 to That City.

Martin Walsh, general freight and passenger agent of the Memphis
 Paris and Gulf Railroad, known as
 the Diamond Line, was in conference recently with George R. Brown, sec retary of the Little Rock Board of Trade.
 The Board of Trade has for a long
 time been endeavoring to induce this
 road to extend to Little Rock. and it now seems probable that this result
 will be obtained.
 While the name of the road does not include Little Rock, the plans or
 the promoters have been changed so
 that the line will De extended from Murfreesboro to Hot Springs and thence to Little Rock. Mir. Walsh
 states that the road will be in op- eration to Murfreesboro by May i. Regular trains are now running be- tween Ashdown, in this state, and
 Atoka. Okla, there being two regu- lar trains each way daily. The road Is of tirst-class construc-
 tion, has f1rst-class rolling stock, and
 when finished to Little Rock will be
 one of the most important lines in the
 state. The distance from Murfrees- boro to Little Rock is about 100
 miles, Hot Springs being about half
 way.
 The matter of extending to Hot
 Springs is in charge of Walter Brown, of Camden, and it is said that the division between Little Rock and Hot Springs will be taken up by Captain
 c. c. Henderson, of Philadelphia, on his return from Tucson, Ariz.. in
 about sixty days.
 The Board of Trade assured Mr.
 Walsh that whenever the company is ready to take up the proposition of building to Little Rock, the business ! men of that city will make every ef- fort to make 1t go forward in a prop
 CT manner. MT. Walsh while in Little Rock met the railroad officials who were attend 1 ing the rate case in the federal court, and before returning home will visit
 the passenger agents meeting in
 Memphis.
 His road, which is popularly known as the Diamond Line, passes through !, the celebrated Arkansas diamond fields, and he is now making arrange
 ments to open up the territory for passenger travel.

It is alleged by the police that Day wrote many letters from Chicago to New York merchants, giving 137 Michigan avenue as his address. and saying that he was an agent for d publishing firm and was about to visit New York to purchase $1,500 worth of books. When he arrived here. it is said, he deposited a check on Chi cago bank for S497 and then launched out on series of mysterious opera tions. He acquired offices in two diff ferent buildings and scattered checks broadcast. Each of the checks ill turn was turned down by the Plaza Bank with the endorsement "an un- collected account"
 Adding further complications to his enterprise the young man took rooms at several hotels simultaneously, reg istering under different name at each.
 It was the bull pup that was indi- rectly responsible for his downfall. On April 5, while having his boots blacked at a stand, he took fancy to the bootblack's dog and bought the animal, but instead of taking the dos away with him he had the boy de- liver Beauty" to the young woman. at whose house he was arrested.

SOMETHING ABOUT
 FREE PLANTING
New Method That Induces Root
 Formation.

It is an article of faith among fruit growers that fruit tree must be planted in priperly prepared soil. a large, wide, shallow hole, the roots carefully spread out in all directions and arranged near the surface with a slight upward bearing at the ends.
 Small quantities of finer soil arc first worked in among the roots, hol- low places caused by archings in the stouter roots are filled up, the re- mainder of the soil is put in, trod- den carefully down and the whole left to the competing influence of the rain. The tree Is supported by stakes until it is firmly established.
 Spencer U. Pickering, with his re- cent researches, declares that proper tree planting means a small hole. roots doubled up anyhow, the trees. stuck in, the soil thrown in and ram- med down as for a gate post. With extensive experiments 59 per cent show against differenceg (sedhridg1. show in favor of the next simple method, P show no difference and IA per cent show against the new way. By whatever criterion the trees are gauged the new method Is said to give better results than the orthodox. Although an antagonistic cry has been raised against the revolution theory no practical man has been able to give any reason for the old faith that is in him beyond the fact that it is sanctioned by established custom.
 Examination proves that ramming has led to copious development of fibrous roots. In planting the impor- tant thing is, to induce fresh root for nation and ramming does this more rapidly than the old way.-Chicago Tribune.

HUNTING BY PHONE
 IS THE LATEST

The rural telephone plays an im- portant part in bird shooting in tho prairie provinces of Canada. There is an abundance of geese, ducks and prairie chickens in Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta, and the shooting is good clear up to the Him. it's of the cities.
 Let a flock of geese be sighted on it's way south from the breeding grounds on the shores of Hudson bay Or up the Yukon or on it's return north in the spring and the telephone is brought into play to summon sportsmen for twenty miles around. The birds make overnight stops wherever they find waters and the gunners spend most of the night in preparation.
 They di holes deep enough to con- ceal a man and set decoys about thirty yards away. Experienced hum ters W II wait until the flock is pass ing and then shoot into the flock from behind It has been shown that shot is more effective this way than when the attack is made from the front.
 The windier the day the better, for then the geese fly low. Most geese are shot when flying less that forty yards from the ground.

The Central Railroad as an indie
pendent Property.

From the Savannah News.
The statement in the Georgian,
said to be authoritative, that the
Central of Georgia will continue to
be operated as an Independent prop
erty, and that it isn't proposed to
make any changes in it's officials, will
be very generally received with salts
faction Georgians, and especially
Savannahians, would dislike very
much to nave the Central merged
into the Illinois Central and it's
identity lost 1t has been a Georgia
institution so long and is so closely
identified with the state and the
states history that he loss of it's
name and it's identity would be some
thing of blow to the states pride.
1t is Georgia's great railroad, and it
is hoped that it will always remain
so. 1t has grown gradually since it
was opened for traffic, and it is prob
able that it will continue to grow
Short lines will be added to it and
new lines from time to time will be
built by it. Eventually it will be a
system of 1000 or 5000 miles in
stead of 1000, as at present, and to
it's steamship lines there will con-
tinue to be added ships until the
wharves will nave to be enlarged to
accommodate its fleet. 1t is to Geor-
gia what the Pennsylvania railroad
is to New York Georgians have an
affection for it and a pride in it, and
they would regret profoundly to have
it swallowed up in a great system
like the Illinois Central. 1t is owned
by the Illinois Central, of course,
and that road will dictate it's gem
eral policy, but it will continue to
be operated by Georgians, will still
be an Independent property that can
readily be severed from the Illinois
Central and operated as a wholly in
dependent system
