speculation Among Dealers.

We understand hat during the past
week there has been some little spec
ulation going on and considerable bust
ness has been taking place, with the
dealers acting In the capacity Of both
buyers and sellers. This rs practically
the first speculation Of this kin
which has taken place his year, yet
from the fact that it Is speculation. il
would hardly be well TO deduct merely
from this that woods are going TO adj
vance. Confident dealers have pur-
chased wool from those who have less
confidence in the situation, and II Is
reported that between 1000 and $500
bales OF secured territory woods have
changed hands in this way. the prices
varying from so cents. which Is prac-

with GO cents for fines.
Unqucstionably, there IL that Ia the
situation al the present time which
makes things look altogether brighter
for the wool merchant. Manufacturers
and mills have delayed so long in huy-

awarded by the most expert and dis
tinguished judges in this country and
from abroad.
The Importance of this show from
a breeding rs well rs an educational
point cf view cannot be measured,
/ realized or understood except from a
personal visit and q systematic study
of its extraordinary proceedings,
Most excellent newspaper accounts

farmers journals deal with it In a
most comprehensive ana mastery
manner: but it must be seen to be
appreciated; 1t must be studied to be
understood.
1t is the ~-reatest school q instruc-
ton of its kind that has ever been
presented to breeders, farmers, stock
men and others who are interested in
the live stock industry, and an insti-
tuition CT practical information that
teaches in q fortnight more than can
be earned in double, treble and quad
ripple the time anywhere else.
The International Live stock expo
sition at Chicago is a stockman's store
of knowledge, On encyclopedia of

is presented In such practical, simple
and easily understood methods, that
the Interested intelligent visitor must
Of n necessity carry away with him a
fund of useful and practical Informal
ton that he could not buy for dollars
anywhere else in so short a time.
The lessons learned from watching
the judging by these masters OF live
stock breeding cannot be gained from

The comparison Of the various
champions and other prize winners
with their less fortunate brethren
shows the breeder and student the
weak points and short comings of
those which do not reach the required
standard; and so these men go home,

As for the last two weeks, hoNtNc !,
most Of tie wools taken have leHi
from the domestic wools, Domestic
woods are now, and hay'c been fel some
time, relatively cheaper than foreign
woods Of similar grade, and'as iong as
this condition Of affairs continues to
exist it IS going TO be q difficult mat
Ter "a induce the American consumer
to buy those woods which woslG have
TO be imported and upon which a duty
must be paid.
The market is unqucstionably sftcng-
CT and has a firmer tone. Yet although
the prices upon HAT class OF wool
which has been getting the call recent
ly have hardened, ANA undoubtedly
there are some dealers who would
have a tendency Go ask higher prices,
yet we have heard Of no sales at fig
urCs above those which were reported
last week. Dealers and wool mer-
chants, In general, are feeling quite
hopeful. ana this optimistic attitude
is perhaps more especially noticeable
those dealers who nave been
getting the major part Of the business.

\ few weeks ago there were twp
We l-dcfined attitudes which different
dealers held toward the future u the
market-one hat the different factors
Of uncertainty which were threatening
would eventually result in lower prices
in a short time. and the other a feel
ing Of optimism In the fundamental
conditions Of the market. Today the
dealers in general are optimistic. rnd
some OF those who were talk,i Z
quite bearlshly a few weeks ago are
now more hopeful.
Regardless Of this. however. .hoio
stiIl continues to be some little III
ference IN opinion as to the perman-
ency Of the present activity, yet this IS
probably "a question which only time
win be able to work out. The question
with a great many dealers is as to
whether the American Wooden com
ana the others who have come

needs, or whether they have be-
gun q buying movement In the belief
woods are today cheaper than
they will be later on.

Santa Fe read will use them in south
ern California, replacing the old style
redwood tics with eucalyptus.
''rhe hardwood ties are the ones
which will be used extensively. said
Mr.. Paxton last evening at the Van

tus which is being grown in Southern

contract in competition with a NUM-
Der Of other large bidders.
The Parker Iron works have also

Mr.. Kouns said that while he felt
the sincerity cf the governor should
not be questioned, he did feel that
the governor is as much the repre-
sentative of the railroads as he is of
the people, and as representing the
railroads he should exercise that care
in giving %utterance to statements re-
fleeing upon the credit of the rail-
roads of Kansas as he would in Civ
ing utterance to statements reflecting
upon his w credit, Mr.. Kouns said
that the Santa Fc railroad i'm Kansas
has been practically rebuilt a number
Of times, and he felt that the people

properly advised, to give as much

RAILROAD BOUND TO

Chief Of Department of Santa
Fe Tells of Expenses Which
Increase as Business In
CreaSeS,

THE discussions Of the railroad
| problem indicates that it is not gener-
ally realized that railroads must
| grow said c. r. w. Felt, chief en-
gineer of the Atchison, Topeka q
Santa Fe railway company, in conver-
sation recently, says an eastern paper.
Most of the railroad building has
been in q new and undevoloped coun-
try. having a very small mou OF
business. Such conditions warrant
ed only the construction Of lines
adapted to the lightest service and of
a minimum capacity. TO have built
better lines would have loaded up the
companies from the STRAIT with an in
creased interest charge for facilities
that would not be needed until the
country had developed more business.
''As the country grows the increase
in business necessitates facilities of a
greater capacity, and more equipment
demands better service which re-
quires a higher class Of construction:
demands the addition Of special facili-
ties, and the increase of a numbe Of
it's general facilities, for the convent
ence, comfort and safety Of patrons.
Many of these facilities bring 10 re-
venue to the company, but they in

SNOW DELAYS
CAPITOL WORK

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-Delayed by
the snow storm and the following ex-
tremely cold weather, the concrete
workers did not complete the concrete
work on the state capitol last week,
but they were on the job good and
early this morning and by Wednesday
night they will have all the concretng
done. There remains only a small
portion of the floor in the supreme
court library, which was delayed
through the non-arrival of the extra
heavy steel for the floor, to be poured.
This, and the galleries of the house
of representatives is the only con-
crete work left for the commission to
do. The general contractors have
completed the partition work on the
first floor in the north wing, and will
this week begin on the second floor.
The convicts worked the cold days of
last week removing the forms from
the concrete floors and columns of the
south end of the building, so the gen
eral contractors may begin work there
also.

of thousands of people from all parts
of the United States, demonstrated
several facts of interest to the people
of Arkansas, not the least of which
were:
First. The people are land hungry.
They are leaving cities in search OF
homes in the rural districts, where
they can, out of the soil, make that
living to which they are entitled, and
which the high cost of the articles
they consume in the cities prevents
them from doing. We have the land.
Second. The desert lands of the
west, which are not susceptible of cul-
tivation except by irrigation, are
drawing the most desirable class of
immigrants. This is due to the fact
that the advantages of these lands, as
developed by irrigation, are advertis-
ed throughout this entire country and
in every land across the sea.
Third. 1t is impossible, under pres
ent conditions, for the masses of the
people to secure information about
Arkansas, except in comparatively
limited way, as there are but few
railroads advertising the resources of
this state, and our local commercial
organizations are virtually swamped
and buried under an avalanche of in
quiries.
Fourth. The new year now at
hand is the time to take advantage of
our golden opportunity. Let us or
ganize to answer the demand for in
formation about Arkansas. Let us
all get together for that purpose and
perfect an organization statewide in
character and usefulness-one that
will represent every county and sec
ton of Arkansas. Let US boost our
great commonwealth. Let US give the
true story of Arkansas to the world
and invite inquiring capital and i'm
migration.
Fifth. Believing that the people
of the entire state are in accord with
this movement, it is therefore,
Resolved, That the commercial or
ganizations of Little Rock, for the
