The New Hickory Mill.

MT. Clough, of the firm of Gen. try & Clough, the new Hickory mill firm told the ARGUS man that from the present outlook the new institution was going to be a winner, and a permanent thing.
 He said the quantity and qual- ity of the timber they were re- ceiving was very encouraging. Gentry and Clough will employ regularly 12 men, which in itself means a good deal to Brinkley in that it is the revenue from which 12 Brinkley families are earning their support.
 Messrs Gentry and Clough are good substantial men and the ARGUS joins in welcoming them as Brinkley boosters.

Trees in Brinkley Planted
 in 1874.

Back in the early seventies Brinkley started its growth as a city. It was then that Uncle Sam Henderson and his good wife planted two trees on the w. M. Hawkins place, (just west of Mrs. J. w. Wade's, one a wild cherry and the other a white elm. Mir. and Mrs. Hen- derson were living there then. A few days ago Uncle Sam in passing the old place saw the trees and measured them; the wild cherry is 5 it. 10 inches and the white elm 3 it, in circum- brance, all since 1874. In the meantime Uncle Sam grew a fine old hickory one, Tod Hen derson, his son, whose age is just the same as the trees in question.

one of the most pleasant banquets of my life given to IS of the REAL OLD TIMERS. We started eating at 6:3O and by the time it was over l felt like the newsboy at the Christmas dinner, who when asked if he would have some cake, replied, that he could still chew but he couldn't swallow =
 One of the most enjoyable in cidents of the whole affair was the meeting of a bunch of old time negroes.
 It is hard for a person who has never known the old time slave negro to realize a mans feeling when some old smiling darkey would rush up and with a mighty squeeze say, ''Yo sho do look lak yo daddy
 At night a band of these same old fellows would march around among the tents where the visit ors were quartered, singing, Keep yo lamps trimmed and burnin' when the Bridegroom comes." You could hear them a mile.
 We spent a pleasant time vls- iting our old home. Although the place showed lack of care, 1t still brought back pleasant mem ories of the days when we were all children together.
 All good things must come to an end so with Saturdays big barbecue and the speechmaking, closed one of the grandest home comings that has been held in this or any other state. :"

It doesn't matter whether you are believer in Wm. Jennings Bryan or not you'll be glad for him to come to Brinkley during his approaching speech making campaign in Arkansas.

Japanese Gardening.

n HE japanese gardener is probably
81 the most expert in the world. His
- usual plan is to build his gardens so
that the best vista is obtained from the
guestroom OF the house or the arbor
where 1t Is most likely to be appre-
ciated. II there are hills or mountains
In the background the garden Is SO de-
signed that the hills are q part OF It.
In many cases the garden is made to
give the impression of being a sort Of
amphitheater or the heart OF a forest.
To the japanese gardening Is an art,
Just as are painting and sculpture. Hills,
rivers and bridges show their quaintest
forms and fancies IL garden with ever
blooming flowers. Pines are considered
the most important OF all the trees In
Japan, Great care is taken in their pres
ervation and cultivation. They are grown
ffom seed of the choicest quality. Then
they are stalked with bamboo canes and
are bent to give all sorts Of fantastic
shapes.
The roots are then twisted and tied In
graceful shapes. This treatment Is given
until the seventh year. They are then
taken up and ported. There Is a great
demand In japan for oddly grated plants
and the gardeners make a speciality OF
grating In all Its phases.

lieves there viii be a big influx of set
tiers to this valley the coming winter
This is being greatly encouraged by
the railroads, whose $35 rate 10 the
valley is appearing to a great many
homeseekers. He believes the de-
cisiOn Of the railroads to make this
rate apply at various seasons during
the year instead of the single excur-
sionist season win result in bringing
many here who could not well take adj
vantage of the previously offered low
rates. The drouth in the middle west
has alarmed a great many this season
and has awakened them to the benefits
Of an irrigated section where the farm
er gets his water when he needs it. In
Michigan, wisconsin and various
points in Illinois he noted particularly
a pronounced interest in Arizona and
met many people who piled him with
all sorts of questions.
Money i'm the east, he says, hecms to
be tightening up n little, but there
seems to be no trouble in getting all
the money that is wanted for develop
ment enterprises in this valley. The Sc
curities are of a high character and
there is money for farm investment
here, even when the general money
market is unapproachable.
Mr.. Heard notes among other things
that have occurred during his absence.
the fine progress of work on the Cen
ter street bridge. a fact that gives him

FUTURE AUSP|C|OUS
SAYS DWIGHT B. HEARD
AN OUTING TRIP WHICH WAS
PUNCTURED WITH BUSINESS.
The Whole Country Has Its Eyes on
the New States.

Dwight B. Heard returned home yes
terday from an enjoyable sojourn of
several weeks in Chicago Michigan
and Wisconsin, the greater part of the
time being devoted to recreation,
though some very important business
matters were given attention. Mrs.
Heard and their son. Bartlett, are now
at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, the home
of Mrs. Heard's father a little later
she expects to go to California, where
Mr.. Heard will probably join her. Mr..
Heard says the section of the country
he has visited during his outing is be-
yond question a delightful one and at
this season of the year is almost 4
paradise; nevertheless one who has
once lived in Arizona could not think
of a permanent change from the gran
deur of the mountain-set deserts to the
lake country, however delightful it may
appear in its vernal splendor. Moth
ing ever looked better to him than the
cactus dotted plains as they began
to appear from the car windows and
the elixir of the atmosphere of the
southwest was a pleasing stimulant
that was not followed by a headache.
During his stay at Lake Geneva, Mr..
Heard said he had a long chat with
Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock,
who promised him that he would do
everything he possibly could to get the
construction of the federal building in
Phoenix under way the coming fall.
Also while he was resting, Mr.. Heard
concluded the sale Of a tract of 1,12O
acres of valley land to seven families,
the Consideration being $4,000. He
said he did not care to give out any
further details concerning the trans
action at this time, only to reiterate
that it is actually closed up and is not
a part of the Bartlett Heard holdings
in the valley, either.
one more item in which there will be
particular interest locally, is the fact
that Mr.. Heard was able TO negotiate
loan for J. c. Adams on his hotel
properly, which supplied him with suf-
ficient money to insure the success of
the new hotel enterprise. Mr.. Adams
had previously subscribed all his avail
able cash to the project and so an
nounced. It win be recalled that he
insisted that the investment was
good one and urged the local capitalists
To take stock. which many did. But
some were SLOW IN coming loTNtIu anu
Mr. Adams, through Mr.. Heard. made
this loan, so he was able to furnish
the rest of the money needed, thus en-
phasizing his advertised faith in the
merits of the undertaking. and insur-
ing construction at once. MI Heard
said he noted that there is a greater
interest than ever before in Arizona,
wherever he has Travelled, and the ques-
ton of the constitution for the new
state is being watched critically in all
quarters The homeseeking class is
thoroughly concerned in the advertised
opportunities of this region and he be-
