SHOULD BUILD NEW ROAD
Electric Line From Conway to Beebe Would Pay, Says Correspondent.


 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 There is considerable talk through this section and also east of here of building an interurban railroad from Conmay to Beebe. It is said that a man from Beebe was here not long since prospect ing W tn a view to building the road. Now we think all the peo- pie ought to encourage this enter prise, because it would be the means of more fully developing our country. It would mean thousands of dollars extra each year to our people in the way of raising different crops and having market for same i'll St. Louis that we do not now raise, such as fruits, vegetables, etc., and of course would naturally increase the value of property. Now if Con way will become interested in this move and take hand in helping to build this road, it will be as- sured because Conway and Faulk- ner county always get everything they undertake. Of course, this would only add another feather to Conway's cap, in the way ot ad- vancement. Let us hear from Conway. K. K. WILKINSON.

Only Two in Race.

Little Rock, June I6.-It seems now as if the race for secretary of state may be only two-man affair, though there has been no an- nouncement J. D. Clary will not make the race. It is definitely stated that R. F. Milwee of Claren- don, chairman of the state Demo cratic central committe, and Clay Sloan of Imboden, will not make the race. This leaves it be- tween Guy B. Tucker and Earl w. Hodges, who are avowed candi- dates.

BOARD DECIDES
 TO ACCEPT GIFT

The Hendrix College board ot trustees adjourned late yesterday afternoon, after a session extending throughout the entire day, The most important matter before the board was the ratification of the action of the executive committee in ac cepting the terms of the gift of S75, 900 to the endowment of the college from the General Tdu- cation Board of New York. Two members of the board, Rev. J K, Paris of Paragould and Rev. Fred Little of Marianna, it is stated /, were opposed to the acceptance ol the gift, on the ground that a Christian college should not us- money donat d blythe founder C t C General Education Board, John D. Rock kefeller.
 There are only two conditions attached to the gift, one being that it shall be used directly in theolog ical education, but as Hendrix has no theological department, this of course is without effect. The other condition is that the college shall increase its total ell dowment to S225, ,ooo b,fore the money is to be paid over, the col lege being allowed until March, 1910, to meet the latter condition. All other members of the board were heartily i'll favor of accepting the gift, and the action of the eX- ecutive committee in accepting it was ratified with only two oppos ing votes.
 All members of the present fac ulty were reelected, with the e,,- cept of Prof. J. S. Leonard of the chair of social science and head of the athletic department, whose resignation was rendered some time ago. The selection of his successor was left to the executive committee.
 Out of a membership of B, the following were present at the board meeting: Rev. F s. H. Johnston, Fort Smith; Capt, w. w. Martin, Conway Gov. G. w. Donaghey, Conway; Rev. +. R. Steel, Fort Smith; Rev J. B. Stevenson, Con way; Rev. M. N. Waldrip, Mor- rilton; Rev. T. D. Scott, Texar kama; Rev. Forney Hutchinson, Hot Springs; Rev. James Thomas, Texarkana; Rev. T. H.

NEW YoRK's AUTO HOSE WAGON
A sight worth Seeing as IL shrieks
It's Way TO "a Fire.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-There are plenty
think that the most stirring sight to
be seen in the city's streets is the IRE en-
CINE going TO a fro with horses gallop-
ing, whistles screaming. smoke streaming
back from the smokestack above the sparks
flyinR and dancing from the firebox below.
Such people may think that when motors
shall have supplanted horses In the NOV
ing Of fire apparatus the days of romance
will have gone, but still the sight OF the
hew automobile high-pressure water tender
7. going to a fire, with siren shrieking and
bell changing, makes something OF a SEN
sation and 1t may even cause a thru.
This new motor-driven tender is bigger
in every way than the horse-driven tenders
and its load of big, heavy, high-pressure
hose, laid in it fore and aft folds stacks
up to a height of seven feet or SO above
the ground. Three feet higher running the
length of the wagon along the middle is
a hand rail for men of the crew TO hold
on by riding to a fire.
The crew numbers ten. TIT captain rides
standing on a little platform at the for
ward right-hand corner of the tender to the
right OF the chauffeur; the lieutenant rides
standing on another little platform at the
forward left-hand corner; the engineer rides
on the step az the rear, and the rest OF
the company ride standing on top OF the
load, holding on by the hand rail.
You can hear the automobile tenders

falling, sinking and swelling shrek ana
then as IL comes nearer you hear the
clamor Of its bell, and then the big tender

with a clear way, with the man at the
wheel and the men standing up at front

roaring by. You may miss the galloping
horses and all that, bit still the big horse

the middle states have been the great
sales grounds for automobiles, for no set
OF people is now more able to buy auto

plement houses have recognized this fact
and nearly all have added a line OF auto
mobiles to their regular lines OF plows and

most of the smaller towns OF the state in
both Iowa and Nebraska have automobiles

HEAVY FOOT BALL SCHEDULES
(contlnued from Ernst page.l

The big games on the Ellis schedule will,
of course, be the contests with Harvard
rnd Princeton. Dates will be assigned to
Syracuse, the Army and Brown, with
TIN ee or four preliminary games with minor
college elevens to be played early in the
season. 1t has been announced that while
the Blue would not in all likelihood increase
the number of its games stronger teams
would be met in 1909 and a better arrange
ment Of the schedule made.
One of the features of the foot ball sea-
son promised to be the schedule arranged
by the Army. with the Navy. Yale, Har-
ward and Princeton already fixtures and
Pennsylvania a possibility, to say nothing
Of Syracuse and one or tive other teams of
similar rank, it will be seen that the cadets
will have a trying season ahead of them
between September and the end of No
vember. The middles, on the other hand,
have not as yet given any indication of at
tempting any such trying schedule and with
the loss of the Harvard contest 1t appears
unlikely that any big eastern university
will be seen on the Annapolis gridiron ex-
cept Princeton.
West Plays in East.
So far as intersectional games are con-
cerned. the east will have the plums during
the coming autumn, for the Pennsylvania
Michigan game will be played at Franklin
field, Philadelphia, and the C~ornell-Chicaso
contest at Ithaca. Syracuse will represent
the east in the west in 1909 when the eleven
lines up against Yost's warriors at Ann
Arbor. with the playing of these three
intersectional games the contracts which
exist between the three eastern and three
western colleges in foot ball will be COM
pleted, and unless there are some unex-
pected upsets it is quite likely that at least
two Of the agreements will not. be re-
newed.

100000 Tire Miles a Year

The Taxicabs of New York City are making this
mileage-over a MILLION tire miles a WEEK.
Think of it'll
You-who drive only a few thousand miles a
season. and yet have had tire troubles a plenty
think of Mfs problem and how important to solve
it correctly.
Judging from your own tire expense last season
consider the thousands of dollars involved.
And now note how the problem was solved.
There are 1000 Taxicabs in New York City.
Several competing companies operate them. The
most gruelling tire tests we're made by each of
these companies. Tires of many makes were in
competition. The mileage of each tire was checked
by the taximeter. The time required for repairs
was checked by the "trouble sheets"
When the results were analysed the findings were
sooverwhelminglyin favor ofthe Goodyear Detach-
able Auto Tire that 500 of The 1000 Tdsieabs
at once contracted for Goodyear Tires TO be ESed
efeINSfveiy.
The same thing has resulted from the tests made
by the taxicab companies of Washington, Boston,
Tires are used. You couldn't make tests anywhere
near so strenuous or SO conclusive if you took a
dozen years to do 1t.
But you can profit by the tests of the Taxicab
Companies who have spent thousands of dollars to
find out positively which tire gives the greatest
mileage vfth the least trouble. Tire-buying, you
see, has nowbeen reduced to a BUSINESS basis.
