SEVEN MILES ARE
FINISHED In DAY
Every Store Closed i'm Wynne to
Allow Employees to Help Build
Cross County's Turnpike
Began Work at 5 A. NJ.

Wynne, April EVERY store,
bank and saloon in Wynne was
closed today for the purpose OF al
lowing those connected with them
to assist in building the turnpike,
seven miles in length, beginning at
the outskirts of the town and end
ing at the Levesque road.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, men
were on the way to the different
stations, the work having been di-
vided into ten sections in all, each
section having its foreman and ne
cessary tools, teams and men as
signed TO it. The notice that the
work would be started at 5 o'clock
was given by the whistles. In
short time afterward County Judge
Hansen and all of the road over
seers were on hand, with hundreds
of men and teams in line ready to
begin work.
Procession a Mile Long.
The procession passed through
a number of the principal streets,
waving shovels, picks, hats and
handkerchiefs. 1t was nearly
mile in length, and after drive OF
mile the first squad struck camp.
For nearly SIX miles the men were
lined up, each squad being some
distance from the other. By $3.50
O'Clock the entire length of road
presented one of the busiest scenes
ever witnessed in Cross county.
Many farmers had come distance
of twenty miles the night before in
order to be on hand when the work
started.
The first part of the road was in
the hills, and much filing and cut
ting had to be done. Large galvan-
lied pipe had been secured for the
small runs, and these were placed
in and filled over, thus doing away
with much culvert work that 9TH
erwise would have been necessary.
In the hills most of the work was
done by scrapers, plows and grad
ers, everything being completed as
it progressed, and the road was left
in good condition.
Bridge Not Completed.
After about four miles had been
finished in the hills came the bot
tom lands, where trees had to be
felled, briars cut and bitches filled.
The greatest undertaking in con-
nection with the work was the
building of a bridge out of timbers
65 feet in length While one span
remains to be built, the bridge was
practically finished in one day, I'M
der the foremanship of o. C. Bea-
mon, an experienced bridge build
er, with twenty men. The one span
had to be left unfinished owning to
lack of material.
Several miles of fencing was also
built. A. H. Hammett, with force
of men built the road from Leves-
que to the bay. This part of the
road will stand any sort of test and
would be a credit to the best road
building in any county. Some por-
tions of the road will have to be
touched up to make the entire road
uniform, but this can be easily
done by the regular road overseers
in their regular work.
The building of this road, which
it was expected would be entirely
completed in one day, has been such
a success that it is believed other
counties will follow up the plan
adopted by Cross county, the first
county in the state to build an en-
tire road by volunteer help from
among the people Of the county.

THE CLEANING UP
AND REBUILDING
The Damaged District of Mena Was
Busy Section Saturday-At Least
One Brick Building VIII Re-
suit From the Storm.

Saturday, being clear and bright,
most of the time, great progress
was made in the cleaning up of the
wreck caused by Thursdays lorna
do, and within a week or two sew
eral new buildings will be under
construction.
w. w. Townsend, whose building,
though not torn up, was so badly
damaged that it will have to be
torn down, will build a brick. He
is yet undecided as TO whether he
will build only on the site of the
old building, or will cover all of
the three lots which he owns. He
is awaiting the arrival of an insur-
ance adjuster from Little Rock be-
fore removing any of his stock or
tearing down any of the building.
After the adjuster has inspected
the damaged goods, Mr.. Townsend
will have his stock moved to the
Hope building on the corner of
Jansen avenue and DeQueen
street.
S. |. Wood is going to build
store covering two lots on the cor
ner of Martin avenue and Mena
street, but has not yet decided
whether it Will be of brick or a
frame. Mr.. Wood had brick
building planned before the 1907
panic, but thought best not to build
after the panic. The building
which was destroyed was one which
he moved off of the corner lot in
order to make room for the pro-
posed brick.
Dunman Bros. started Monday
morning on clearing away the re-
mains Of their building and will
put up a ii0x25 foot building on
their lot. They are now using Cope
I'm & Milham's implement ware
house for a store room.
j. f. Beasley. who is superintend-
ing the repairs on the Roach build
ing, had a crew of men at work Sat
urday morning, and Will probably
have it repaired within a week.
John Grant, who owns the build
ing occupied by Ratliff's grocery
and the one adjoining, viii have
them Strengthened up as soon as
The wreck of the building occupied
by Dobbs 4 BagweI is cleared
away.
Work was started Saturday MORN
ing on rebuilding OF q. w. petty's
warehouse and the Watkins Hard
ware Company's harness shop was
being braced temporarily. Mr..
Watkins has not made any definite
plans for rebuilding as yet.
Street Commissioner Emerson
was out Saturday with his force re-
pairing culverts and clearing gut |
ters.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AGAINST
REDUCTION

During the past ten days public SEN
timent has crystallized very rapidly
against a reduction of the present tar
if on wool and wooden products. While
conservative men are of opinion that
the present schedule will be reduced
about % per cent, others are more
optimistic and believe that it will be
impossible to get a bill through the
extra session adversely affecting
schedule X.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, who is re-
puted to stand close to the administra
ton, had the following to say on the
subject to a newspaper representative
the other day:
cit is my opinion that any revision
of schedule K that may be proposed
at this session of congress will not be-
come a law. When the wool schedule
is revised it will be only after the tar
if board has gathered all possible in
formation upon the subject and has put
it into form for use by congress-. If /
were a wool raiser 1 would base my
actions upon these premises

INTERESTING STATISTICS
OF BELL TELEPHONE co.

From an annual report of the direct
ors of the Bell Telephone company to
the stockholders, just made public, the
following interesting facts are learned:
At the end of the year the number
of stations which constitute the sys-
tenn in the United States was $3.50, 719,
an increase of 740,027. 1852, O51 of
these were operated by local, co-ope-
rative and rural Independent com
panies or associationes having sub
license or connection contracts, So
called connecting companies.
The total mileage of wire in use for
exchange and toll service was 11,642,-
2l2 miles, of which 1862 S6 were adj
ded during the year. These figures do
not include the mileage of wire ope-
rated by connecting companies.
Including the traffic over the long
distance lines, but not including con
Meeting companies, the daily average
of toll connections was about COZ, 500,
and of exchange connections about
II, 6Sl 500, as against corresponding
figures in 1909 of SIT 900 and 1895

INCREASE IN PRODUCTION OF
PRECIONS STONES

Features of the precious stones in
dustry during 1909 were the large in
crease in output of turquoise and tur-
quoise matrix, variscite, tourmaline
and chrysoprase, and the discovery Of
a new and promising emerald prospect
in North Carolina, of new variscite
and turquoise deposits in Utah and
Nevada, and of a vein of delicately
colored rhodonite in California. Blue
and green matrix stones increased so
greatly in popularity that owe IL tons
of rough turquoise and 3h tons of
variscite were mined to supply the de-
mand. Variscite has now nearly gain
ed a permanent place for itself in the
popular demand and is to a certain ex-
tent displacing the poorer grades Of
turquoise matrix. A large increase in
the output of tourmaline was probably
caused in part by the increasing de-
mand for the pink variety by the
Chinese merchants in the southern
California cities. A new emerald
prospect has been discovered in North
Carolina near a locality where emer-
aids are reported to nave been found
some years ago. Crystals from the
new find have yielded very promising
gem material.
Several new trade names have been
applied to minerals and rocks recent
ly adopted for use as gems. Among
these names are a%pricotine, for yellow
ish-red quartz pebble; creoline, for a
purplish epidotized trap rock; Verde
lite, for a talcose dolomite breccia
rock; wabanite, for a banded cream
and purplish chocolate slate; carmazul
and chryso-carmen, for certain copper
ore gems, and %chalchihuitl for the
beautiful ralamine obtained from
Mexico. Some of these stones are
sufficiently beautiful to be used in
good grades of jewelry. All of them
should fill needs in arts and crafts
work. A number Of other such min.
erals and stones have been cut to
which no special names have been ap-
plied.-Mining Science.

STATE ROAD BONDS SOLD.

The sale of the four per cent State
terest to the Pincrec National Bank OF
Ogden is n good sale for the State. Inc
amount sold was 100000. and the
transaction is therefore ono of con-
siderable importance. The money ought
TO go long way toward improving
the roads Of the State, provided 1t
is not dribbled away by repairs and
bettcrments here and there, as mas
been the wastcful method of dIsposlng
unbcncticallv Of the road moneys here
toforc To take that amount of money
and spread it over roads throughout
the State would, in fact, waste the
money. The thing TO do is To begin III
some stated place and build there
from as much first class road as the
money will pay for. with the help OIL
the county added thereto. In that way
permanent work will be done, and the
road built Will stay built and usaolc
for a great many years.
The chief difficulty about roadwork
in the West. not alone in Utah, put
everywhere this side of the Mlssis'
sippi. has been that the money Is
dribbled along and spread over so
MANY miles of road that nothing
permanent has resulted by way of real
road making. There has been enough
money spent in Salt Lake county IN
the last thirty years on road account
to have given us frst.class Roman
roads on every public highway IN the
county. And yet. with but trliilng eX
ccption, the roads are Just as bad as
they were thirty years ago, IN splle
of the hundreds of thousands OF DOL
lars which have been spent upon them
within those thirty Gears. 1t is to be
hoped. therefore, that a different pohcy
will prevail in the expenditure oil thls
state road money. and that permanent
results will be obtained by At, without
regard to the local demands oil ROAD re-
pairing throughout the State,
If is understood that other banks are
taking portions of these bonds tnat
have been bought by the Plngree
National Bank IT is good TO see these
bonds taken by homo financlers, for IN
that case the money is kept within the
community. and the interest charge IS
also paid to home people. So that noth'
ing is lost
