REAL ESTATE
 MEN ORGANIZE
ASSOCIATION FORMED ON THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE
 NORTH ARKANSAS LINE
To Be Followed by a Like Society on Northern Division. To Cooperate
 and Promote Immigration

At the request of c. D. Whitney, traffic manager of the North Arkansas Line, The Tribune editor accompanied him to Heber Springs on Wednesday of last week, where an organiz ation of the real estate men to be known as 'The Central Arkansas migration As sociation" was launched.
 The object of the association is to promote the growth and development of the towns and country along the North Arkansas Line between Leslie and Helena and at the same time enable the members of the society to make money for themselves.
 It was live bunch of boosters we ran up against down there, and judging from the way they took hold of the new proposition, there is going to be something doing along that section of the N. A.
 It is the purpose of the newly form ed organization to cooperate with the industrial department of the railroad in bringing the advantages of the country traversed by the line before the people in less favored sections of the United States, permitting the prospec- tive buyer to determine what particu lar section along this road appeals to him most.
 The idea was suggested by Mir. Whit ney himself. His position at the head of the traffic department enables him to make more economical and effective distribution of the literature than can be had in any other way. He proposes to handle the literature of the association so far as he is able without cent of expense to it's members.
 The greatest problem real estate dealers have had to deal with is how to distribute their advertising matter so as to reach people interested. Mr. Whtney's scheme offers good solu- tion, and at the same time it opens an avenue for cooperation among the real estate men which will undoubtedly result in great mutual benefit.
 It is MT. Whitney's purpose to or ganize the entire line in this manner, but on account of the wide range of difference in the country on the line south of Leslie and that on the north end, two associations are con sidered advisable, and if the suggestion meets the approval of those interested, a meeting will be held at Harrison or some other convenient point on the line about the first of the coming month to effect an organization which will probably be known as the North west Arkansas Immigration Associa- tion.
 MT. Whitney is deeply interested in the success of the proposition and earnestly urges the live real estate men from every town between Neosho and Leslie to have representative at this meeting. In order to start the movement, we suggest that such par ties as want part in this deal either communicate directly with MT. Whit ney at Eureka Springs or notify The | Tribune editor.
 It is expected that one or two of the Hive wires" from the south end will be on hand to help put :he new organization on foot.
 This can and ought to be made very successful movement. There is an impetus to business all along the N A. road now that it closely resembles a revolution. In other words, the iron is undoubtedly hot and ready to strike for immigration business.
 Let the real estate men get busy.
