Natural Gas Assured

Little Rock, January Tt is now the general belief of we'll ad- vised business men that it is a question of but short time un- til Little Rock will have natural gas, and the all important issue is that we secure rates that will give us the same advantages as competing cities. There should be no franchise granted that does not give Little Rock as low rates as others are enjoying. The newspapers are full of telegrams from Shreveport regarding the great Caddo gas field owned by the Busch Everett Company of St. Louis, and telegram in the Globe Democrat last Sunday stated that their market would be in Little Rock and Memphis as well as St. Louis.

One of the chief objects of the convention would be to secure from the legislature an appro- priation to defray cost of adver- Using Arkansas, not only all thoughout the United States but in certain proportions of Europe.
 A local booster said today to a representative of the News that the proposed meeting would in his estimation do more to further the material progress of Arkan- sas than any one thing recently transpiring.
 The legislatures of other states have appropriated money to give publicity to the resources and advantages of their common wealth and why should not Ar kansas do likewise" he said.
 
 It is a well-recognized fact that people of Arkansas living in one locality haven't the remotest idea of the tremendous resources and natural advantages of other localities; hardly of their own county. Many will shout with the rest Yes, Arkansas is a great state with wonderful nat ural resources and is the best state in the Union." but ask them about returns on investments in certain localities, or how Arkan- sas compares with other states toward showing profits on labor and money invested along spec flied lines, and they will show a profound ignorance"
 Let us all consider what part we might take in the Boosters Convention at Little Rock and lay our plans to attend and see that Nevada county's progressive spirit is well represented.

AN ARRAY OF DISTINGUISHED
CAMPAIGN ORATORS.

1t is many years since there were
so many scholars in politics as are to
be found this year; and in all parts of
the country the differences in political
policies are being set forth with great
ability. Theodore Roosevelt, Wood
row Wilson and hundreds of citizens
of this type are campaigning in diff
ferent parts of the nation Here in
Connecticut the array Of talent is
something unusual since it includes
George z. Mclean, the most brilliant
governor Connecticut has known in the
present generations; Judge Baldwin,
whose reputation as a jurist is inter-
national; Congressman Hill, consid-
cred by many the ablest statesman in
matters of finance now sitting in con-
gress, and Dean Henry Wade Rogers
of the Yale law school.
The November election is but nine
teen days away but in that time there
is likely to be many interesting politi-
cal meetings held, and no doubt the
attendance will be large, for the char
acter of the speakers gives assurance
that something will be said that is
worth hearing.

Pink Rooms.

Pink, when utilized in scheme of
decoration, produces an exceedingly
dainty effect, and it is one which spe-
cially appeals to bridas-elect when It
is question of furnishing their new
home. Rose color. too, is often a ia
yorite. tint to be employed by hostesses
who have passed their first youth and
imagine that when their surroundings
are Colour de rose the charm of their
personality is greatly enhanced
For a decorative scheme specially
suited to a pretty drawing room have
a carpet of soft rose-colored Axmin-
ster and the walls treated to a striped
empire paper in a slightly paler shade
The entire woodwork would, of
course, be cream. while the couch and
larger chairs should be upholstered in
the new stringcolored shade-prefer-
ably in damask, a fabric which pos
sesses the best wearing qualities.
Six or eight soft, downy cushions
covered in a, large rose-colored silk or
satin, would make an effective finish
to these items of furniture and greatly
brighten the appearance.
The window curtains should be made
easement fashion of biscuit -colored
Japanese silk, with small inner ones of
frilled Madras muslin bearing a. pink
spot on its surface.
For the rest of the furniture mahog-
any or satinwood would look extreme
ly artistic, while the piano drapery
(should such be required) might soe of
deep cream, with a spray of almond
blossom embroidered thereon.
pink bedroom may be treated in
variety of ways. 1t might be entirely
a roce chamber, with chantz wall
paper bearing a design of pink
rose blossoms, similar flowers appear
ing on the chintz cretonne draperies
for the bed and windows, while the
carpet should be tither green or
brown, with a white sheepsl1in hearth
rug and a brass fender and fire irons.
Another scheme would be to have a
pink carpet and white wallpaper, with
a frieza depicting pink almond bios
SONS, the window curtains and dra-
peries generally being of pink linen.
In either of these apartments the bed
room suite. including the bed should
be either light oak or stained green
wood, the toletware being entirely
pink. For halls and staircases the
pink scheme of decoration is also to
be commended, but it must be a
shrimp or rose du Barry pink These
compbined with either dark oak wood
work or ivory white enamel are es-
pecially successful, while on rare oc-
casions stained green wood would be
equally effective.

THE RESCUE OF WALTER WELL
MAN AND PARTY.

The rescue of the Wellman party
to the eastward of the Bermuda is
lands, after they had been last heard
OF near Nantucket island about noon
on Sunday, was something of q -ur-
prise to the reading public. Mr.. Well
man tells a very thrilling and inter-
esting story of the flight, as he should
nave been expected to do, and il
shows how completely these big air
ships are subject to sudden changes of
course because of the wind, which
they have not power to overcome. The
story shows that they crossed thou
sand miles of ocean at the rate Of 25
miles an hour. and as a new expert
ence in ballooning this certainly mas
it's value.
There is not only a chance now to
Praise Mr.. Wellman's coura gcolis start
but to also comment upon the pru-
Gence which he always shows III nan
aging these hazardous expeditions. No
one expected Walter Wcllnlan to be
lest, for those familiar with the spirit
of the man. realize that it is impossi-
Bile to lose him. 1t not only takes
good Judgment to start out upcu such
an expedition as this Of the Americas.
but the best of judgment as to when
d complete rescue. We were all
pleased to learn that the Whole part,
even to the kitten, got III board ef
the Trent in good condition. 1t is
highly creditabIe to the k<Tedly nature
Of Mr.. Wellman that he was not more
mindful of his own safety than he was
of that of the kitten, and the humane
will not fail to put q mark to his
credit right there
1t viii be interesting to learn how
much farther the America rode the
wind, since that will give a clue TO
future possibilities. We are told that
Mr.. Wellman intends TO make another
trial and there is no doubt that he will
take time to prepare his ship and to
lay out his course. Walter Wellman
was not born to be drowned, or to be
lost in the goth century Lanes of the
heavens

THE DISCUSSION OF THE WATER
QUESTION.

The very interesting discussion of
the water question at the Norwich
board Of trade rooms on Tuesday eve
ming shows that the citizens are alive
TO the subject and DESTROYS at the
earliest moment of doing what is best
for the city's futu7e in the adoption of
q new watershed, but are inclined to
be cautious about the expense of it.
which is necessary under present cir
cumstances.
The board of trades demand for the
presentation of The business side of
the project, set forth by President Ira
~ in the following words. really voices
the feelings of the taxpayers in every
part of the town:
President Tracy said that he con-
sidered it was up to the city admins
trstion to submit figures before the
voters can intelhgentiy decide TO go
10 Pease brook. The board of trade
wants the business side of this prop
osition. and can then decide the mat
ter in a short time and he thought
they would vote for il If the cost was
within 100000.
IT makes very much difference
whether the permanent increase of
taxes for such an addition is made
two mills a year or six mills. We are
all aware that four additional mills
permanently to the city property
would make this one Of the heaviest
taxed municipalities in New England.
The Bulletin was informed BY q mill
man that there We're no damages that
could be claimed at Gardner lake by
manufacturers, since the lake is state
water and they have no valid prop
orty claim upon it. The popularity of
the lake as a summer resort and the
purchase there of a large tract of land
by New York parties for development
as a summer camp, has made the lake
less desirable than it once was and
would add to the cost of clearing the
watershed of permanent summer resi-
dents 1t is questionable if it is the
best source of supply.
The interests of the taxpayers ap-
pear to be We'll guarded. and whatever
is done promises To be done with a
fuu knowledge OF the exact cost

A WELL-PosTED SOVEREIGN.

The accession of George V. to the
throne of Great Britain at first
aroused grave doubts as to his fitness
as a successor of Edward; but as
prejudices have disappeared and the
truth come gradually to light, it is
apparent that the new kiog has had
a large experience in life and has peen
broe dly educated to meet the require
ments of the sovereignty. According
to a writer in a recent issue Of Me
Cures Magazine, he has Travelled, by
laid and sea, more than $4,000 miles
and has visited almost every corner
of the British empire. He has been
il Canada six times, to India ard Cey-
ion three times, and to South Africa
and Australia twice. Perhaps it is this
acquaintance with the dominions over
which the British ensign floats that
has made him the imperialist that he
is, and which is evidenced by a def
milton of the empire accredited to
him: 'By England we do not mean
these islands in the western sea, but
an England which is spread over the
whole surface of the world
King George promises to sustain the
reputation of the house Of Victoria for
ability, sagacity and good judgment.
There is no evidence that his naval
training has made him any more a
man o. war than was his father, and
conservation of peace is likely to mark
his reign.

seen numerous criticisms of our new

not seen what appears to me to be the
greatest possible defect, namely: the
opportunity to practically destroy the
secrecy of the ballot. And goes on to
say the ballots are numbered !, =, 5,

mixed. etc. Evidently there is some
thing else Mr.. Park has not seen, and
that is a real ballot. or he would find
that it contains no number at all; only
the stub has a number thereon, and
that is torn off and put in separate
box.
The ballots will be given out in

CONCERNING WOMEN.

A well known American woman
writer, in describing conditions Of
women in England, says the English
laws governing women's wages would
be funny if they were not so outrage
GUS" She adds: "a man can make
his wife work like a slave all her life
and take every penny of her wages
from her every week. He can force
his daughters to give him their wages
as long as they remain at home.
Should he be sent to the reformatory,
leaving his wife to support the chill
dren, no matter how many years he
stays there, he can come out and take
the children away from the mother
and the English law will say that he
is acting well within his rights"
The Welsh captain who caught a
sturgeon in Pwilhell harbor and Offer
ed it to King George was doing no
more than his duty. His majesty is
entitled to every sturgeon landed in
the United Kingdom, and one of them
caught in the Thames, graeed the fes-
tive board at Queen Victoria's we'd
ding banquet. The king also has the
right by statute to the head of every
whale caught on the coasts of the
kingdom. Tha tail of the whale is
Queen Mary's perquisite, the object of
this curious division being that her
majesty shall always be well supplied
with whalebone. although singularly
enough the whalebone is the kings
half. Among other things which the
king is entitled to receive are a pair of
white doves. a pound of cun1in seed, a
pair of scarlet hose and a silver
needle from his tailor.
