State Capitol
 News Notes
PARK PLAN BOOSTS THE CAPITOL
 PROPERTY.
for Raising Funds for Purchasing Surrounding Land.

The question of securing additional property around the new state capitol building for the purpose of making it possible to establish a large and strikingly beautiful park around all sides of that structure is one that will face the next legislature, accord ing to all present indications.
 It is understood that Governor Don aghey favors the purchase of the two state capitol and it is believed the Dext legislature will be asked to ap- propriate sufficient funds with which to make the purchase. No small sum will be needed, as the completion of the capitol has already resulted in a tig advance in price of all the prop erty in the two blocks.
 The sale of the old statehouse prop erty, it has been suggested, will very nearly cover the expense of the pur- chase of the two blocks of residence property. A fight will be made, it is expected, to retain the old statehouse for the purpose of exhibiting old ob- ieets of historical value, old records and other things, but the last legisla- ture treated that idea with marked coolness, and many believe that the old property will be sold.
 The state already owns considerable land to the southwest and north of the new building A handsome park can be established in the rear of the building. It is the front that is the question now With the state in pos session of the two blocks of property fronting on Fifth street, directly in front of the building, terraces could be established and some striking land scape gardening carried into effect. As it is now, it is argued, the beauty of the building is lost in front, on account of the mass of small cottages and arrangement of trees.
 Nothing but the dome and very small portion of the main entrance can be seen on Fifth street, and not that much on the other streets lead ing up to the capitol

HALF MILLION FOR OUR RIVERS.
Arkansas River Should Be Consider
 ably Improved Soon.

d0tJ IfHHIOfCo 0oSus
 Little Rock-The fact that Presi dent Taft announced, when he signed the rivers and harbors bill, that he would never sign another like it, :" did not detract from the qualification which the news of its approval brought to the people of Arkansas.
 So far as known here. no change was made in the bill with reference to the Arkansas items, and the rivers of this state will therefore get $780, 900 for the next two years. This, with the balance of about S50,000 from the last appropriation, makes over half million dollars to be used in the improvement of the wa terways of the state. The items are as follows:
 Improving Cache river, $3,000.
 Improving the St. Francis and the L'Anguille, s9,500.
 Improving the White below Bates vile, $17,500
 Improving the Saline, $5,400.
 Two dredge boats for the Arkansas, $375,000, and improving the river, $51,00O
 Improving the Black and Current rivers in Arkansas and Missouri, S19,600
 These are practically the same as the preceding bill, with the excep- ton of the item for the dredge boats on the Arkansas. There is now only one dredge boat in the state, operat- ing on the White, and there are five snag boats on the Arkansas.

GIRLS VOICE WINS $4,000.
Man Calls For Song at church--He
PAYS 500 For His Choice.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 12.-The
sweet voice Of Miss Elsie Whip sang
s2S,0 900 from the pockets of the men,
bers of the First Christian Church OF
Pomona Sunday, when the magnifl-
cent new edihce was opened for the
first time.
Called upon by Capt. J. D. Brady,
former supervisor of Los Angeles
county and a retired banker of Pom
ona, to sing his favorite hymn, Miss
Whip responded in voice that sent
thrill Of wonder through the vast
audience. With her hands clasped
before her and her eyes turned heav-
onward the fair young girl sang as
she had never sung before. until the
hearts OF all present began to catch
her fervor.
1t was then that Captain Brady, al
though merely a visitor at the church
donated a 800 bill toward paying of
the church debt. With the tears dim
ming his eyes, Brady called for an
other song. "Just one more like
that" he pleaded, land I'll make 1T
another hundred"
"Sweet Hour o. Prayer" was the
second song called for. It seemed to
awaken the gift impulse in the peo-
pie. For the following half honr mem
bers OF the congregation literally
forced their way toward the ushers to
turn in their contributions. From the
widows mite" to the bankers thou
sands the stream OF gold rolled in In
answer to the call of the golden voice
of the girl.
