Little Roek.-One hundred thon- sand acres of land in Arkansas are being suN eyed and detailed descrip- tions are being made for a number of Chicago capitalists, who are invest ing an average of Sl00,000 a month in Arkansas, according to w. DeWoody Dickinson, of the firm of Dickinson x Watkins. One month recently. It is stated, $300.000 was invested by the syndicate
 About 35,000 acres of the land be. ing investigated is located in Perry and Faulkner counties, 35,000 acres in Yell county and 30,000 acres In Jefferson county. The syndicate, it is said, seldom bothers with tracts of land less than 20.000 acres.
 Much of this land is covered with timber and is several miles from any railroad In some instances there are cut-over tracts, which are rough and in bad shape at present, but offer great opportunities for development. The land is being purchased for Va rious prices, ranging from S2 to $lo an acre.
 There is every indication that out side people are realizing more and more the opportunities for profitable investment in Arkansas" said Mir. Dickinson. These men are doing business in a thorough, systematic manner, and are not taking any chances. They find out exactly what the land is, the amount and quality of timber on it, what per cent is under cultivation, what crops can be raised on 1t and other important things be fore they invest penny. Whenever they find large tract that suits them they immediately get busy and add it to their holdings"
 It will not be many years, it is | stated, until the counties in which | the syndicate is operating will be traversed by railroads and many oth CT improvements will be made. TheI | these lands will materially increase il
 value and the owners will stand ; l good show to realize large profit! from their investments, it is declared

 Has Damaged the Crop.

 Little Rock.-Arkansas is not like ly sto derive it's usual revenue from fruit this year. l. C. Pritchard of Fayetteville, who has been attending the lumbermen's convention. says that the fruit crop will not make more than 40 per cent of normal crop in the land of the "big red apple.'
 We have had to contend with very unusual conditions" MT. Pritch- ard said. "A severe freeze early in the year killed most of the peaches, and late freeze ruined the prospects for apples A peculiar feature of the situation is that one orchard will be loaded down with fruit while an or chard across the road will be almost bare"
 The number of people coming to Arkansas of late is remarkable, ac- cotding to Mir Pritchard
 Why, they are coming into north. western Arkansas almost by tho traihload.' he said. Never before in the history of the state, to my knowl- edge, has the tide of immigration in this direction been so strong. The trtth about Arkansas is spreading. Ouf state land congress has great work to do, and it is doing it."
