STONE
AGAIN DELAYED

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-Advices re-
ceived from Batesville indicate the
state capitol commission will have
trouble in getting from the quarries
there the stone ordered for the steps
and buttresses of the new state capitol
building. The commission wanted to
buy all the stone for the completion
of the dome from the Batesville quar-
ry, but the owners would not agree to
deliver it in time, so only stone for the
steps and buttresses were ordered.
The owners of the quarry stated the
the large contract they have for a
building in Oklahoma would keep
them back in the delivery of the stone.
A report from Batesville says the con-
tractor in Oklahoma City has been
forced to call off his workmen on ac-
count of the failure to get the Bates
vile stone, and in person the contrac-
tor went to Batesvlle to see when he
could get the stone 1t is reported
he was informed it would take five
years before he would get it all, so
he had to return to Oklahoma City
empty-handed.

such an extent that the boiler capacity

ARKANSAS TOBACCO
AHEAD OF KENTUCKY

Little Rock, Feb. Ill. B. LaMas-
ter, a planter of Cleveland county,
was in Little Rock yesterday en- route
to Louisville, Ky, where he expects to
sell 1000 pounds of hurley tobacco,
which he raised last year. The tobac-
go is as fine in grade as any ever Of
fered on the Louisville market, ac-
cor6in to the report of buyers upon
the samples sent there Lancaster, and
is expected to bring the top price.
LaAfaster was enthusiastic over the
pro- poets for a big price, more on ac-
count of the advertising it would give
Ark ansas as tObacco-growing state,
rather than through the personal gain
to himself. He was for years to-
bacco planter in Kentucky, but says
Ar ansas has the old state beaten
miles in tobacco raising, and predicts
that in the next ten years Arkansas
will make as rapid advancement in to-
bacco growing as it has in rice in the
past five years. Lancaster has taken
up the proposition of raising peanuts,
and has informed those who have
STATED the movement in Little Rock
that he will raise 100 acres this year
to tart the boom in Arkansas right,
if they will secure for him the kind
of seed he desires.

NEVADA SENATOR
FOR WATERWAYS

Washington, ID. c.. May 25.-There
Is probably no man In the country who
has taken a livelier interest in the de-
vclopment of the waterways of the
United States than Senator Francis
G. Newlands of Nevada. Without hav-
Ing navigable river In his state, and
therefore without an axe to grind. In
SO far as tho improvement of our
watercourses Is concerned, with no
election facing him dependent upon
the position he takes as TO water
ways. Francis Griffith Newlands has
thrown the weight OF his influence
and his enthusiasm for a government
board to cooperate with the corps
OF engineers of the army In investi-
eating questions relating to the de-
velopment of irrigation, forestry.
swamp-land reclamation, Qualification
of streams. regulation of flow, con-
troll Of floods, utilization OF water
power, prevention OF soil waste ard
railway transportation.
Senator Newlands In his efforts 10
bring about such n board, which shall
deal with all the questions above out
lined, is iDsistent that the time has
arrived when there should be assem-
bled under one general department
the brains and the skill and practical
experience of the representatives of
the government having to deal with
these problems which to the users
of water are vital 1t is the belief of
Nevada'S senior senator that a great
mistake has been made In the en-
deavor to develop isolated waterways
That experience has shown that such
work Is Improbable and that the
greater part of the money thus spent
is wasted That a watershed should
be considered as a unit and should be
developed with 4 view TO its material
requirements and the traffic needs OF
the territory through which II passes
| entirely regardless of the particular
| water course itself
In discussing generally the needs OF
such a board Senator Newlands said:
Il do not apprehend that there will
be great difference OF opinion that
the related questions OF forestry. of
the reclamation of arid lands. of the
drainage of swamp lands. of the de-
Yelopment of water power and the
ciari1cation of streams all have re-
lation TO the development of water
ways for the purpose of navigation
/ The development of a waterway for
navigation may be entirely imprncti-
cable because of Its cost; but ii We
can unite with the development Of
that waterway the reclamation of the
arid lands above. tho drainage of
swamp lands below. and the inter
mediate development OF valuable

recent agitation against the high living has had more or less
effect in restraining consumption The business situation however

water power we then add to the natu-
raj resources OF the country and cre-
ate values which In themselves Will
be compensatory OF the entire work.
whereas, the work would not be In
any measure self-compensatory, II con-
fined to navigation alone.
Then again the question of trans
portation plays most important part
in the development OF the waterway.
The decline of waterway transporta-
ton, I'm my judgment, has been due TO
the fact that the railways have. by
unfair competition, sought to destroy
water transportation. Now it seems
to me TO be the part OF wisdom 10
bring together. the waterway people,
and | mean by that the experts, and
the railway experts to the end that
water and rail shall act In cooperation
and that each shall be the friend and
ally. instead of the enemy of the
other The railroad managers have
declared that IL Is essential. in order
TO meet the transportation require
ments of the country. in the near (ii-
ture. that at least $1,000 100000 shall
be expended upon our railways That
$4,000. .000,O 200 Is a charge upon the nat
ural resources OF the country. The
interest upon 1t amounting TO az
least $200.000,000 annually will be
paid by the shippers of the country
and 1t does seem TO me the part of
good business sense that the eXpen'
diture of a billion dollars in water
way transportation at the rate OF
$l00,000.000 a year during the next
ten Years will save more than half
OF the necessary expenditure of So,
00.000.0O0 Now my idea is to as

the best engineers, constructors and

To properly create comprehensive
plans for the development OF our

wreck will be the fate of the water
