parties and home-seekers are being attracted here in larg numbers.
 All who are interested in agricul- ture and want to know how to extract wealth from this cheap "cut over" land should get an interview With MT. J. T. 'Wagster, who has charge of the states sub-demonstration farm near Pine Bluff. Mir. Wagster has studied the methods of scientific farming, and knows how to make two stalks of corn grow, where there wouldnN any srCw before, and he gladly explains how many prolific and profitable crops .ra5 raissd on this eh. ap .ana by i'm ,rcved farming me hods
 Surrounded by such vast natural re- sources, it is no wonder that those four frame houses and few log huts have given way to the onward march of progress until today Pine Bluff is the industrial center of the grea. Ark ansas valley, city with 21,500 peo- pie, four railroads, one of which main tains large shops here, 23 wholesale houses, $ banks, 3S7 business houses, 10 hotels, l2S churches, 10 schools, 5 hospitals, 3S4S residences and 7S fac- tories employing 2765 people with an annual pay roll of two million dollars, Pine Bluff now covers an area of six teen square miles, with property worth nearly forty million dollars.

 With \such industrial activity on every hand and '.he unlimited resour- ces awaiting development, it is not re- markable that the eyes of investors and home-seekers are centered on Pine Bluff and Jefferson county.
 "Industrial Health" IS the most ap- propriate expression one can imagine to define this "air" of prosperity, which makes Pine Bluff ':he most pro- gressive and attractive city in Ark ansas

1t IS an established and well known fact that Pine Bluff does a larger ]obblng and COT mission busin4ss than any city of it's size in the South. We nave about thirty different firms aud corporations which send out travel Ing salesmen, who cover all of South east Arkansas and Nor..1 Louisiana selling all kinds of merchandise. The fact that Pine Bluff does this and that all the firms and corporations stand so we'll financially, shows conclusive ly what an excellent and rich terri. tory surrounds us.

A prominent "Capta Il of Industry who recently visited Pine Bluff de- clared that in his travels in The South and West, nowhere had he seen a town which exhibited such marked evidence on every hand of Industrial Health,' and this fact impresses the traveller the moment he enters the city deeper become his convictions. This is proven by the many investors and hOme-seekers who have recently in- spected lands and industrial invest ments here and become, so enthusias- tic over the opportunities of r. this wonderful country that they are spreading the news throughout the states that the Land of Promise has been discovered, and of the resources of this section of the country, half has never yet been told
 Thousands of imm' grants from other states. where land is high and business opportunities limfsed, are coming to South Arkansas.
 When we examine the cause of this industrial prosperity which makes such profound impression upon the stranger within our gates, we find it due to the fact that Pine Bluff has ever lived true to the evolutionary principal; that is, as the natural re- sources of Our country have been de- veloped, our manufacturing and com mefcial institutions have grown and expanded, and values have ever been in harmony with industrial progress; hence Pine Bluff has never suffered from that industr al disease which has infected many cities of the wes., where abnormal develcpmen, has been forced by professional townsita builders and land boomers, initiating values of lands above productivity and promoting in dustries in the face of an unbalanced supply and demand which always re- suits in stagnation for long period while values undergo adjustment"
 It said tha. the prosperity of our community da.es back even to the Pioneer days when Saracen. Chief of the Quapaws, maintained his camp on the banks of the Arkansas.
 This famous Indian Chief. whose remains still rest in Pine Bluff cemetery, extended iTaternal well come to the early settlers of 'shis state and was held in high esteem by the traders and explorers who came up the Arkansas.
 In 1888 there were Pine Bluff 1 frame houses and dozen or so log huts.
 Contrast such picture with the thriving, busting little c'y of today, surrounded for miles around with large plantations whose products are shipped all over the world, whose lons staple cotton is eagerly sought by manufacturers of Europe and America, numerous small farms where cotton, corn. alfalfa, rice and various other farm products are growing in abun- dance, stock farms, sruck farms and nculfry farms are becoming more numerous, and the vast virgin forests of pine, oak, gum, hickory and ash will fnrnish timber for the large saw mills located here fer many years to come. Besides the rich fertile lands of the hosfoms and valleys, thousands Of acres of scut oyer' lands are now be- fne placed on the market az prices and terms 50 reasonabl that colonization

The sudden death Of General Fred

speculation as to who will be his sue
cessor. In official circles at the cap
ital'it is the general belief that GEN
eral Frederick Funston. who won such
fame during the Spanish-American
war. will be the logical man. Cen
cral Funston is now stationed at
Fort D. A. Russell. near Cheyenne,
Wyoming. He Is the senior briEa-
