Council Holds Short Session.

At regular meeting of the city fathers on their customary session night, Monday, little was done and an adjournment talk en until Tuesday evening to consider adding a part of or the whole block in which the Metho- dist church is located to the fire limits of the city.
 An ordinance was presented by property owners of that sec tion through their attorney s. M. Stuckey, asking that the half of block between Second and Third Streets facing Hazel be placed within the fire limits, which would prevent the con- struction of frame buildings there as contemplated by the Stayton estate. E
 While the council took no acS tion upon the matter, reserving a decision until Tuesday night, there was an expression of sentl- ment from some of the members of the injustice of adding only the half block to the fire limits and the ordinance will probably be amended when presented to- night so as to include the entire block.

Principle of Road Making. vIyo owo ,.,.o <1,,c1lxX 1o:

We are gradually learning that public road improvement requires skill in the planning and execution. Only a road en- gineer of approved skill and ex- perience should be permitted to lay out public road and make plans for it's construction and improvement, and no road should be built except under his supervision. -Texarkanian.
 Much has been done in Ar kansas toward improving the roads, during the past few years, but a great deal of labor ex- pended has been lost through ignoring the most vital features of road building, and that is the foundations. Roads are built which have a good appearance and answer well for the purpose #of highways until wet weather comes on. Then the surface washes away, and bottoms be- ing absent, the roads are gone. There is where the engineer comes in. He understands how the road should should be laid and how the bottoms should be made. No road can be made permanently good unless con- structed upon scientific princi- ples.-Fort Smith Times-Re- cord.
 That these facts about road building are generally known IS shown in the almost unanimity of sentiment that road officers should not be elected, but the whole system placed under the control and direction of an en- gineer and let by contract the same as is now done in the con- struction of our bridges.
 If we are to have real roads the politics must be eliminated. The office of road overseer must not be a political sop or snap. Instead of a three mill tax for maintenance as in past years, Jackson county should be organ ized into an Improvement dis trict, sufficient money borrowed to build roads and tax levied to retire the bonds and main- tain the roads.

BETTER SERVICE
 OR NEW COMPANY
Poor Service Brings Threat From Patrons Of New
 Company.

Poor telephone service in this city has reached the limit of en- durance upon the part of a pa tient public and a remonstrance that must bring improvement or a new home company into the field has been mailed to the management of the Southwest ern Telephone 6 Telegraph Company at Dallas.
 Mir. c. c. Henry, cashier of the Arkansas Bank & Trust Company took the matter in hand and every merchant in the city who could be seen, except two, gladly signed the protest, and stock to the amount of near ly S75,000 was also subscribed to place new line in this field if better service cannot be se- cured.
 Following is the renonstrance signed:
 Newport, Ark,
 Sept. 25, 1911 General Manager Southwestern
 Telephone and Telegraph Go,
 Dallas, Texas:
 Dear Sir: Knowing that it is your desire to give us first class service, we beg to inform you that the quality of the service we have been getting for sever al months past has been so poor that we do, not intend to toler- ate t any longer. For some reason your company does not consider Newport of enough i'm portance to have a manager here on the ground who has au- thority over all the operators. We do not pretend to know all the reasons for the poor ser vice, but only know that 1t is. the worst we have ever had here.
 We serve notice on you now that although we would dislike very much to see another tele- phone system here, but unless we do get better service, and inn mediately, that we will organ ize a company and put in our own exchange. We know that this office pays enough to war rant first class service and we will thank you to take some steps to see that we get it.
 The Bell telephone company by paying better salaries to op- orators could soon improve To- cal service and we believe this has been the great drawback all along. A young lady soon be comes proficient in the local eX- change, but finds at the same time that she can hardly live in town upon the salary paid or that she can earn more money in some other line of work.
 If the company will increase salaries of operators to make the employment attractive to girls that are experienced and capable operators and to make these positions desirable we feel sure the company will elimi- nate a great deal of the criti- cism aroused here.

Causes One Case is Reported in

Only 81 lynchings were recorded in
the United States in 1910, much small
er number than in almost any previous
year in the last sixteen. In l9O9 the
total was 70 and in 1908 it was 65.
All but five of the 81 cases of lynch
ing in 1910 were negroes, and 10 OF
these cases were those in which the
charge against the victim was assault
on white women or girls. In II of the
remaining number the charge was at
tempted criminal assault. In the five
cases of white men, four were for
murder, and the other for aiding and
abetting in Jail delivery. Several Of
the cases in which negroes were lynched
were based upon the murder, or alleged
murder, of white women, in which the

To this Hines added: "Boutell

BAKER SHOWS WHERE HORSES ARE GREATER EXPENSE TO

Abolish the horse In Tacoma.

Abolish the horse in Tacoma.
Frank r. Baker, assistant city
attorney, says IL Tacoma will do 1t
1t can save lot of money.
Il believe Tacoma could afford
to buy every horse in town and put
him out of business and supptant
him with a motor driven vehicle
and be away ahead" says Baker.
This is how he figures it:
The city now spends over $780,
900 a year to clean streets. II
also spends thousands a year to re-
place old pavements worn out by
the horse and the steel shod wagon
he draws. 1t loses thousands a
year by the presence of the fly
which is here because the horse is

here.
Baker figures It that in a few
years Tacoma would save enough
by the absence of the horse to pave
every street in town. Besides roads
made of dirt would always be
good, for they would not be dug
up by the horse hoofs even when
wet.
Such a street as st. Helens ave-
nue. has to be repaved now about
every four or five years because
the horse and wagon ruins the
pavement. If nothing but rub
ber-tired trucks went over the
surface it would last forever.
All this loss Baker believes
should be charged to the horse.
