WORK ON STATE CAPITOL.
General Progress Reported by Con
 tractor ill Charge

The office of the state capitol commits sion has been moved from the new building back to the administration building of the old peniteutiary. The change was made in order to allow Mil Ter X Sons Company to get te work on that part of the building, which could not be done with Secretary Beuton THr- ner working there every day.
 As soon as the move was made the partition walls were put in; the plumb CTS followed, and the electricians came soon after. The pIasterers were next on the job followed by the carpenters to put in the doors and windows and inte- rior finish.
 The executive chambers will be com Pleted within the next thirty days and Governor Donaghey can take full pcs session of them without having to get out again, even for decoration
 Miller & Sons Company have fuli pos session of the building, and the force of mechanics has been increased to take in almost every trade. The last part of the concrcting to be done by the capitol commission has been finished, and the roof is now all completed with the ex- ception of the stone dome and the parts which are to he covered with glass
 Engineers have commenced survey of the grounds, and will prepare plans for the parking system. The state owns a large plat of ground in the rear which is very high in some parts and low in others. The engineers will give an es- innate to the commission as to the amount of dirt it will take to bring the plat to grade. When this is being done the engineers will also take into con sideration the four blocks between Vic tory and Cove streets and Third and Seventh, which are now covered with residences, as an effort will probably be made to include this in the state cap itol grounds.
 The completion of the capitol will in- crease the valeu of all this property, and many of the property owners who own only the place where they live de clare they will not sell unless given a sum known to be exorhitant. The com mission will hardly call upon the prop erty owners twice for the property, however, resorting to the right of con demnation given to the commission by the legislature, having a commission aq- pointed to appraise the property and then settling with the property owner accordingly.
 Little Rock real estate men will be placed upon this commission and this will insure the people every cent their property is worth.

GOOD ROADS IN ARKANSAS.
General Superintendent of the Iron
 Mountain Railway Writes Letter.

In letter to the secretary of the Good Roads Association, having been appointed member of the executive committee, Colonel M M. Richey, gen eraI superintendent of the Iron Noun tain railroad, writes a letter which will be read with great pleasure by all who are interested in the development of Arkansas:
 Twill say, however, that the possi- bility for good roads in Arkansas is fine, and the only suggestion we have to make is, when making the roads they should give more attention to drainage than they evidently have done in the past. This is one of the most important things to maintain the roads in good condition after they are built, and should receive close attention when roads are repaired.
 /" As to drainage, when ii applies to small drains left after the main channels are cut, l know of nothing that is more effective than good drain tile, varying the size as the volume of water war rants. Our company, after struggling for years with the roadbed with what is known as the gumbo soil, are get ting very satisfactory results since they adopted the use of the drain tile. At intervals they are placed at right angles under the track at the bottom of the sub-grade and in the borrow pits or side ditches, and this method of drain age has given very good results At any time l can be of help I want you to feel free to command me, as l am in terested in seeing Arkansas progress; also I know from past experience there is nothing that will devlop a eommu- nity quicker than good roads. -

UT 'NUUT TIT Vd IVIIII'I'" Davis Is Vitriolic.

Senator Davis said: ''We do not want Standard oil in Arkansas. The only place I would consent for the con strucfion of a pipe line te carry the oil and gas of the Standard Oil Company will be straight from here to hell. And I would like to have John D. Rockefel- Ter, the oil trust magnate eff them all, there to receive it. Let it sweep around him; let its flames enguf him, because sooner or later that result will hap pen. '
 While Senator Davis was delivering his speech he was dancing up and down the middle aisle of the senate, and his voice, which rivaled a steam calliope, brought everybody from the corridors. Senator Hale of Maine got half way in the cester door, saw who was speak ing, smiled, turned around and walked out He was the exception. Most everybody else fingered to see the fun.
 Turning to Senator Owen, the senator from Arkansas said he had been in formed that the senator from Okla homa has some business connection with the Prairie Oil and Gas Company, a subsidiary concern of the Standard Oil.
 Owen Retorts Angrily.
 Pale with anger Senator Owen re- torted: "The impudent statement of the senator from Arkansas is without any foundation.'
 "Mv advice is that way,' was the answer of Senator Davis, who added: My information may be incorrect. In deed. he svmpathi2es with them; he acts like he is interested, and, by Jinks, I believe he is interested' -
 HIt is immaterial to me, 7" said Owen, "what t-e opinion of the senator from Arkansas is concerning the senator from Oklahoma The exhibition he is making of himself here justfes tine statement that any opinion by the senator from Arkansas is absolutely worthless. "
 "Ah, MT. President, " said Senator Davis. in disdain, "my opinion may be worthless, but it does not bear the taint of oil Petroleum stinks to me. It be charged against me that I have made an exhibition in favor of Stand ard Oil. '
 Senator Owen said, after he gained the hoo-, that the answer of the senator from Arkansas deserved no reply. He told how the bill had pass.d the senate last week, but was reeonsidered at his request, as courtesy to Senator Davis, who asked to be heard on it because he was absent from the senate when it was passed.
 ''T leave it to the senate, " continued Senator Owen. "to say whether the senator from Arkansas deserved that courtesy.
