TO MAKE ARKANSAS
 RIVERS NAyICABLE
Congressman Oldfield is Confident of His Ability to Secure Appropria.
 ton from Congress.

Little Rock, Sept. 21-W. A. Old field of Batesville, member of Con- gress from the Second district, was in the city yesterday and expressed confidence in his purpose to secure the passage of an act by the next Congress for an appropriation suffi- cient to make White, Black and Cur rent rivers navigable all the year round.
 MT. Oldfield takes a great deal of interest in matter relating to river improvements, and was the first Ar kansas congressman to secure from the War Department permission for representatives of the department to accompany him on a tour of inspec- tion of certain rivers in the state that practical observation might be made of the needs of improvement.

ONLY ONE BEST.
Pine Bluff People Give Credit Where
 Credit is Due.

People of Pine Bluff who suffer with sick kidneys and bad backs want a kidney remedy that can be depend- ed upon. The best is Doan's Kidney Pills, medicine for the kidneys on ly. made from pure roots and herbs, and the only one that is backed by cures in Pine Bluff. Here's Pine Bluff testimony:
 Mrs. H. B. Pittman, IF Beach St., Pine Bluff, Ark, says: T do not know what I would have done had it not been for Doan's Kidney Pills. l suffered terribly from backache and pains throughout my body. I always felt tired and run down and was sub- ject to nervous spells. Every rem edy tried failed to help me and l was discouraged. Having Doans Kidney Pills brought to my attention, I concluded to take them and procur- ed supply at the Mann Tankersley Drug Co. In short time I imp 'ov. ed and after had finished the con- tents of four boxes I was without a symptom of my old trouble. I am now in good health and have told many my friends about Doan's ; Kidney Pills

government engineer, he made trip on the government steomer, A. D. AL len up and down the rivers where improvement was most needed. They left ,Batesville August % and went down White river to near Biggers, in Randolph county, distance of 4O5 miles. The object of the trip was to get at first hand information as to what is needed in the way of an appropriation to improve these streams and make them navigable from one years end to another.
 MT. Oldfield says these rivers can be made navigable the year round at a comparatively small cost for boats drawing from to 1-2 feet of wa ter. The only Instructions in these rivers, he says, are sandbars, the greater number of which are between Batesville and Jacksonport.
 The Mississippi Valley Transporta- tion Company, with' headquarters at St. Louis, has so much confidence in the ability of MT. Oldfield to secure an appropriation from Congress for the needed improvements that it is arranging to build a boat for the White river trade to Batesville. Ac- cording to the plans the first boat is to be 140 feet in length by B feet beam. It will have an all-steel com partment hull and will make about ten miles an hour, loaded, floating light on 15 inches of water. It will carry 100 tons on the next foot to an increasing amount up to 40 tons per foot for the last foot of immersion, giving total draft of five feet when fully loaded and cargo of 600 tons It is estimated the boat will cost about $35,000 for it's construction.
