the means is at hand for him to also carry out his plans of better stock growing Right in our city there Is a man who will in the course of the next few months place in the hands of the farmers throughout the state, free of charge, five hundred high class boars. His plan is to place in the custody of fiftee nreiiable farmers in eac hlocaity selected one boar to be used by them to cross breed with the stock they have on hand. When one realizes that this plan reaches 7,50O farmers all over the state, and that the progeny of two hogs reaches the thousands in three years time, We may place an estimate of that length of time as that when the gen.
 ral run of hogs will be far superior
 o that of the present and that the pad characteristics prevalent now will 3e plotted out from the breed.

fact. Packing plants are being pro noted in Little Rock and Pine Bluff, and a ready market for these products of the farm is assured.
 While cattle will always occupy a prominent place in the stock growing in Arkansas, the raising and growing of hogs will always be of primary interest to the farmer.
 From statistics in the Manufacturers Record for February l2, l912, the as ounding fact is shown that Arkansas is only q little behind Texas in the number of hogs raised for 1911, and
 that that fact is true despite the fact area. almost twice the population, and that hog raising in point of numbers has rctrograded rather than progressed in Arkansas for the past thirty years The natural adaptibility of Arkansas soil for hog raising makes the propo- sition of caring for them a small one The proposition of raising the stand ard of breed is another question.

Among the many Enterprises that go to make Pine Bluff the logical busl- hess centre of South Eastern Arkan- sas the cotton seed oil mill industry ranks second to none.'
 This business, in Pine Bluff, has de- veloped during the last thirty years from an insignificant beginning to where it employees about three hundred men and puts about half a million dol lars in circulation among the cotton raisers of our territory during the winter and spring months of each season.
 It has given us the opportunity to ut lize product that was but lately looked upon as little better than ru'p- Dish, in a way :hat gives Us the pest or food and feed, net only for our selves and our stock; but for the lana

 When the writer was first assigned the subject of Industrial Pine Bluff by the managing editor of the City Beautiful edition of the Daily Graphic, it was his intention to cover the sub jsct eXhaus lively, giving detailed references 10 each business of the class but the lady editors took their assignments so seriously that they more than filled the space assigned to them and mare man Was told that his space would be limited, hence the failure to mention some concers at all and the only too brief mention of others. Suffice to say that Pine Bluff affords one of the bess openings in the country today for all sorts of hardwod manufacturing plants with the wealth of untouched hardwood al sume the product of the farm or in duce 'she raising of new crops are also to be desired and may be assured of success from the start under proper management. It was with this idea in view that the promoters of the Ar kansas Packing Co.,, were induced to consider building packing plant a! Pine Bluff as t will mean a more prosperous farming people when more stock is raised. A rice mill will find Pine Bluff an ideal location and enough of the grain will be available in the country adjacent to Pine Bluff to run it to capacity from the start. With the raising of fruit and vege- tables in commercial quantities .Jhe opening of a canning plant at this point is inevitable, and later it will be W thin reason to believe that d creamery can be operated success fully.

done by this company can be haf
 when it is stated that upwards Q, 5000 cars of stuff was shipped int6 l this mill last year, besides over 151 cars of machinery and supplies and l approximately three thousand cars were shipped out.
 l There are several hardwood mills at :his point and the number is steadily increasing, there being a supply of hardwood available snffi- cicnt to keep them in operation for the next lWenty years. Last year the in- bound shipments of hardwood approx- lmated 3,1l0 calls. while the ship ments out of the finished products amounted 10 1925 cars and under favorable logging conditions these figures would have been larger.
 The principal hardwood mill is operated by J. F. Mcintyre & Sons, he, With a payroll aow of abou, S15,- 003 month.

Six acres of addit. onal land have been secured and a large. new mill will be erected which will more than double the capacity of the present plant, making this 2 very important industry for the city.
 Other hardwood plants include the .Mills-E Ellsworth Co.,, makers of poles and shafts which are shipped from here to the main plant at Keokuk, Iowa, the output last year being 1f5 cars.
 The Mcdaniel -Baughman Co.,, oper- ates large planin gmill and finishing plans which has grown steadily from the start.
 The Matthews Slave Co.,, the Nit chell Slave Co.,, and the WI B. Nim- mons Co.,, do a steady business which adds to the industrial wealth of the community.
 The cotton industry has for gen. esation been the most important one in the city, some seasons calling for six millions of dollars to handle the crop. Two congresses have been operated here for many years, reports of the amount of cotton handled each year affording a good insighs into the business done In 1908 these ccmpresses handled 71,400 bales; ill 1909. 93,37O bales; in 1910, 79,557 bales; in 1911, S0,230 bales; 1911-12 I'D to March 1, 74.59S bales An aver age bale of cotton weighs 500 pounds.

 Closely allied to the cotton business is the cotton oil mill, three being in operation at this point: The Bluff City Oil Co.,, The Arkansas Cotton O'l The oil produced by these three mills last year apprOXimatad q mil lion gallons besides which, there was 9,540 tons of cotton seed meal avail able for feed and other purposes; G. 600 tons of hulls. and 500 bales of linters the latter being the cotton clinging to the seed which was re- moved by the machinery and which is used principally for making of mat tresses, sometimes bringing as much as one-third the price of cotton it. self
 One of the most important business enterprises fthe city of Pine Bluff and one wh; ;ch is growing steadily all the time is the Marco Mills, Elmo Marsh, manager. The records for the past year show that this company re- ceiyed approximately 1895 cars or 65.000,0O0 pounds of grain and shipped out 1859 cars or 50,635,0 ,097 pounds. The Riley Commission Co.,, the Vest brook Grain Co.,, and the Hightower Grain Company, also handle large quantities of grain, the outbound business last year amounting to ap- proximately a thousand cars and the inbound business almost double this amount.
 The Pine Bluff Company, succeeding the Pine Bluff Corporation, of which MT. F. e Bridges is president and MT B. c. Fowles, secretary and manager, is one of the largest employers O: labor in the city.
 This company has recently been eeorganized by Mr. H. R. Dennis and associates of New York, having taken over the electric light and street car business of the Citizens Lighs and Transit Co.,. established by the late J. R. Rutherford. The Pine Bluff Corporation previously owned the water works system and did a com- mercial lighting business. One of the

recent compilation Of manufac-
 turing statistics of Pine Bluff for the
 Chamber Of Commerce, using the
 svstem of classif cation in vogue by
 the federal government indicated that
 there were appropriately 7o indus
 trial concerns now in operation ir
 this city, giving employment 10 abou; e75O hands, earning an average daily
 wage of $2.11, or un approximate
 annual payroll Of two millions of
 dollars. Two manufacturing concerns are now under process of erection
 and two other plants will be largely increased in capacity during the pres ent summer, justifying the belief that the numl)e,.. of men actually employed in the industries of the city will eX. caeJ three thousand before October 1.
 The industries of Pine Bluff in- clude railroad buildiag and repair shops. hard and soft saw milling Dlln.s, hardwood finishing plants, boundaries, cotton oil mills, com presses. ice plants, grain mills, bo'- ting works, electric light plants, water works, traction line, natural gas company, brick plants. cigar fac tory, carriage works, five printing of- fees, cornce and roofing, etc. These concerns are generally under active and competent management and have steadily increased their size and out put from year to year. Pine Bluff has a good class of labor and is prac- ticllly free from any labor troubles, fact due to the i1ell gence of the em ployes and the foresight of the em- ployens.
 The largest single employer of la bor is the Cotton Belt railway (St. Louis Southwestern) system with it's car building and repair shops. yards and division headquarters at this point just outside the city limits. Pine Bluff is the most important town on it's line iA the s''ate and also has the record of giving it more freight than any other town The men on the payroll of the line at this point exceed 1900 at some periods of the year, and as more shop build- ings are being erected, the yard facil- ities increased and more business be- ing secured at this point all the time, it. is safe to predict that this number will be increased.
 The next largest employer of labor in this city is 'Fle Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber Co.,, which acquired the tim Der and mill plants of the Sawyer and Austin Lumber Co.,, at this place some time ago, putting Mir. John Wintec Martin in charge of the business This company has "a large amount Of Timber which it ships into this city over the Pine Bluff & Western, built originally by the former company.

THE NEXT WITNESS, PLEASE.

The air grew more and more heavy
as the morning dragged on. 1t was
now close on - o'clock.
Frederick Power, hall porter of the
Veterans club. had finished his evil
dence. With the precision of a soldier
he had replied CURLY and to the point
to every question put to him and had
retold all hat had occurred on that
foggy night, in the smoking room and
the lobby Of the Veterans club in
Shaftesbury avenue.
It was but a repetition Of h he
Harris's presence the day before.
Louisa had had it all at full length
from her father; she had drawn the
whole story out Of him, point by point,
just as the man had told it originally.
Colonel Harris, reluctant to tell her,
was gradually driven to ~concealing
nothing from her. Moreover, since she
had made up her mind to attend the
inquest she might as well hear it all
from him first, the better to be pre-
pared for the public ordeal.
Though she knew it all, she listened
attentively to every word which Fred
erick Power uttered, lest her father had

ant detail. She heard again at full
length the account of Luke's visit to
the Veterans club, his desire to see
Philip de Mountford, the interview in
the smoking room behind closed doors,
the angry words Of obvious, violent
quarrelling.
Then Looke's return to the lobby, his
departure. the final taunt spoken by
Philip and the look of murder in his
eye, sworn to by the hall porter. She
listened to it all, and heard without
flniching the last question which the
coroner put to the witness:
Did Mr.. de Mountford's visitor carry
q stick when he left the club?"
"E 'ad a stick, sir. when e came
was the porter's reply, and l 'anded
it to i'm myself when e left"

right up against the wall. She sat
with her back to the wall, her head
leaning against it, her hands hidden
within the folds of a monumental sable
muff lying idly in her lap. She had
