does not mean that Mr.. Chalmers will in
any sense retire from active control of
the affairs of the Chalmers Company. II
is simply a question of better organiza-

to the large duties of general executive

operation to his subordinates.
Lee is well known in this city, and was

The board OF trade at Helena, Ark,

Der or huge lumber DargeS, Sucn as are
commonly used in that section. meet the
cars. The Ievee Of the river. which is
some thirty feet high at Trotter's Land
ing, is being cut away in order to form
chute for the cars. They will run onto the
barges as they arrive. and when they
have all been assembled on the barges
the latter will be coupled and steam
boat will tow them three miles down to
Helena. This will make a rather novel
and interesting incident to break the
monotony of travel. At Helena the cars
will run onto Arkansas soil under their
own power and proceed to Clarendon,
Ark, for luncheon, thence to Little
