RAILWAY DEPOT
 MAY BE MOVED

At a conference held here this morning between Division Super inte ndent J. F. Murphy of Van Buren and a committe representing the Conway Board of Trade, the first step was taken toward the re- moval of the railway depot and cotton platforms from the center of the public square. The depot in its present location is directly across the point where Main street, the widest thoroughfare in the business part of the city, would cross the public square.
 The conference with Superin- tendent Murphy was secured by G.. l.. Banner of the Board of Trade. MT. Murphy arrived last night and met the board this morning.
 It was pointed out to him that the square was blockaded by the platforms, sheds and cars of the company through a greater part of the year, cutting off view of the DuSiueSS part oi toWH Hou tHe passenger cars and greatly imped- ing and obstructing travel from one side of the city to the other. Mir. Banner stated that a popula- ton of from 60, 900 to 5000 was served from the local station, a larger number probably than at any interior station in the state.
 The request of the board was that the present depot be removed to the extreme south end of the square: and used as freight depot and that neat passenger depot be built far enough south of the pres ent site so that Main street could be opened up across the tracks. It was also asked that the cotton platform and seed house be remov- ed to some other point.
 Superintendent Murphy appar- ently was in favor of the suggested changes and intimated that his re- port to the higher officials would be favorable.

Dur ing its visit to the farm the board will meet the 1evee district board of Lincoln county which requests the state to put 25,ooo yards of ad- diiional dirt on the levees ot the farm, and thus afford protection for the entire country whereabouts.
