SAND PUMP DREDGES

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 16.-For the purpose of securing from Gov. Dona- ghey promise to recommend state aid for a negro reform school, Father l. P. Daniels and Rev. Ralph Ams colored ministers today called upon the chief executive and laid before him their plan for the establishment t and malntenanee of such an institu- tion. Father Daniels has been at the head of a negro Catholic institution near Argenta for number of years, but resigned to become inspector gen. eral of the negro reform school prop. osition. He made a tour of the Unit ed States, visiting all the reform schools and then spent a month at Tuskegee, Ala., studying the methods used at the Booker T. Washington school. The negro land congress is now in session in Little Rock and these negroes expect to secure a pledge of $1, ,5G0 from the congress to assist in the proposition. They then expect to find a suitable tract of land in some part of the state for the es tablishment of the school. The s.ata will then be asked to set aside cer- tain acreage of ground and the Unite.. States government will be asked to to the same, for the benefit of the na gro school. The promoters eXpect. tn sell this land and use the proceeds to maintain the school, or to erect Iae buildings there. The school, when es tablished, will be operated along tie principles of the Booker Washington school. Father Daniels says he will have no trouble in filling up tAe school and teaching hundreds of ne. gro boys and girls trades and making useful men and women of them.
 Horses to Maneuver.
 When the Arkansas regiment makes the trip to Leon Springs for join matl- euvers next year it will take along several cars of horses for the use of the officers. Because a provision of this kind was not made this year, the officers of the Guard feel they over- looked a principal point in their well fare. The officers were required to furnish themselves with horses, which were secured from San Antonio q. the rate of $2.50 per day and the officer paid for the keep of the horse also. This requirement ieft Dlt little for the officers out of the pay they were allowed by the goyeilalent, SD next year Arkansas horses W wilch can be gotten for $1 day, will be taken to Texas.

 Sand Pump Dredses.
 Instead of only one of the sand pump dredges to be used ca the Afk- ansas river, there will be two con- structed for the river service one to be used between Little RocK and Ozark. and the other between Little Rock and the mouth of the river. Each boat will cost about $160,000. When it became known Monday that plans had been drawn for a boat Which would cut the sand bars out o1 the upper river and keep the chaahel op- en all the year around, it was not oiven out that two of the boats were to he built and one used on the lower river.
