A Happy New Year for
Postmaster Wentworth,
Installed in Handsome and
Commodious New Post Office.
Modern Fittings and Furnishings,
Very Handy and Convenient.

Probably no man in Winthrop re-
ceived heartier good wishes on New
Years day than Postmaster F. w.
Wentworth as he stood behind the
windows in the fine new home of the
Winthrop postoffice, having accom-
Dlished the end for which he has work.
cd SO untiringly and effected the re-
moval of the office from the old build
ing where it has been located for over
80 years, to it's present location in the
west side of Penniman's block
The building has been entirely re-
finished in the very best quality of
quartered. 1t has between 400 and 500
boxes, more than 200 of them being
lock boxes. either fitted with keys
or with the keyless combinations,
which is new here. There are three
windows, one for money orders, one
for registered mail and one for stamps
and general delivery, where one win
dow was all that was available in the
Did building. The improvements here
are many, as the former quarters were
utterly inadequate for the business of
the winthrop office.
The furnishings were put in by the
McLane co. of Milford, n. H, who are
we'll known for fine workmanship,
and everything is of the very highest
class put into any office.
Postmaster Wentworth has given us
two much appreciated reforms since
lie took charge of the office in 1907 One
is the Sunday mails, and as for the
other. the new office speaks for itself.
in -tc1t in o
him "a happy and prosperous New
Year"

DRAINAGE DISTRICT
 IS A SUCCESS
Desha County Has Three Districts in Operation and Another is
 Being Urged.

With three drainage districts al- ready in operation in Desha, we be- lleve that we are past the experiment. al stage, and if there ever were any Doubling Thomases'' they have been fully converted.
 There seems to be general desire to undertake a general drainage scheme for the territory lying in the Cypress Creek Basin in Desha. We believe that this is very proper movement and should receive the en- dorsement of every property owner i'll the territory-we believe that such movement will receive not alone endorsement but hearty cooperation of the land owners All that would be required would be to secure an expression of opinion. ~s-.4
 To this end We. suggest that a call be issued for mass meeting. to be held at Arkansas City sometime dur ing the session of the circuit court in September; the second week of the court would no doubt form an oppor- tune time. Will some of our citizens start the movement The News will gladly publish the call as we'll as any communication upon the subject.-Du- mas News.

DEMURRAGE LAW
 IS UNDER FIRE
Attorneys For Iron Mountain Claim it Imposes Burden on Interstate Commerce in Requiring NO- tice to Be Given on Arriv.
 all of Shipment.

Little Rock, July 30.-The St. Louis Company is appealing to the Federal Supreme court in case in which the validity of the Arkansas demurrage law is involved. The style of the case is the above company vs Edwards, and was appealed to the State Su- preme court from Faulkner county, the state court sustaining the Faulk- ner county circuit court and uphold ing the law.
 Edwards, who is merchant at Conway sue dthe railroad to recov- CT $5 per day on a shipment of goods which he claimed had been delayed 15 days through the failure of the agent at Conway to notify him of the arrival of the goods. Under the Ark ansas law. a station agent is requir- ed to give notice of the arrival of a car of goods, or subject his company to a penalty of $5 per day for each day he neglects to give such notice.
 The railroad attacked the law, on the ground that it imposes burden on the interstate commerce, the ship ment in question having been brought into Arkansas from another state. It cOntended that the state has no right to place such restrictions on in- terstate shipments, and that in so doing it is invading function that is reserved exclusively to the exercise of the general government. This is the ground upon which the appeal is taken to the United States Supreme Court.

He is regarded as one of the most progressive and liberal ministers in this section and his departure from Pine Buff would be generally re- gretted by large host of friends and admirers

CHICAGO HAS
 GONE FLAT CRAZY
Total Cost for 1909 in New Buildings
 Amounted to $9S,0OO,OOO.

Chicago, July 30.-The flat build ing total of $3S,O00,00O for 1909 as against $34,0oO,0o0 for 1908 shows how the cliff dwelling propensity gains in Chicago, as in other big cit ies. For the total investment in de- tached houses was but $4,512,O0. The total of new buildings for the year, $9O,o00,00O includes, besides the new city hall ($4,5OO,O00) and the new Chi cago and Northwestern Railway sta- tion (s4,000,00OO. The record eclip- ses those of all previous years even that of the Worlds Fair, the total for 1907 being s59,000OOO. The tota, investment for housing folks in 1909 has been over s42,5Oo,00o, that for new factories and warehouses s13,- 75O,000.
 The spread of the flat, particularly the two-flat, has beaten expectations and the apartment has grown as as- toundingly as the rents. It is not long
 
 $150 month were a rarity, while now rentals of from $3,0OO to $5,OO0 year are becoming quite an ordinary thing. As tE\ result of continued good times people are demanding bet ter apartments and the conveniences and luxuries which go with the or dinary flat building of the day were unknown to the ultra high grade buildings of only few years ago.
 As has been the case for years, the great south building division of the city led all others in amount of flat construction during the year with a grand total of $13.447,500, as against s11,s61.s 800 for the previous year. The fourth division came next with $9,- 937,400.

PEACE PREVAILS
 SAYS JAP CONSUL
Declares That "NO Cloud Whatever OyershadOws Most Cordial Rela. tiOns Existing Between United
 States and Japan."

Chicago, July 30.-In reply to the prediction of F. L. Moody, member of the irrigation congress now in ses- sion here. that Japan is preparing Japanese consul at Chicago has sent a communication to local paper, in which he says:
 "The distinguished speaker seems to entertain the startling view that conflict between the United States and Japan is inevitable. 1 am in- clined to doubt his earnestness. He makes an assertion that the war will certainly come within thirty years. He might as we'll contend that Japan will capture Chicago before one can say Jack Robinson.
 Since the conclusion of peace with Russia Japan has been engaged with renewed energy in peaceful develop ment. Her ambition is to attain in- dustrial prosperity and national well fare. It is true that the Japanese steamers carry part of the Pacific trade at present. To control that trade, is, however, beyond imagina-' tion of the Japanese people. The Jap anese want only legitimate share of the trade of the Pacific.
 No cloud whatever overshadows the most cordial relations existing between the United States and Japan; causes for war exist only in alarm ists' fertile imaginations.'
