COUNCIL APPROVES
 RAIL ORDINANCE Gives Pine Bluff Company Right to Take Up 56 and
 Lay TO- Pound Rail.
TO MUZZLE ALL DOGS
Itfnerant Merchants To Be Licensed
 Chicken Ordinance Post
 pOned Again.

At an adjourned meeting of the city council held last night at the City Hall, and presided over by Mayor A. c. Jordan, an ordinance, permitting the Pine Bluff Company to lay a cer- tain kind of "T'' rail, weighing 56 and 70 pounds. was passed; an or dinance prohibiting the running at large of chickens was placed on the calendar; an ordinance fixing a li- cense of $50 week or $50 month for itinerant merchants, and an ordin- ance, requiring the muzzling of dogs during June, July, August and Sep tember, were adopted.
 The street car ordinance allows the Pine Bluff Company to substitute the 70 pound "T' rail on all paved streets and all new extensions are also to be of 70-pound rail Under the ordinance, wherever the 56-pound steel wears out the company is given the right to replace it with 70-pound rail.
 Aldermen Chesnutt, Hut and Veil, voted against the street car rail or dinance, insisting that the 60 pound chair rail be used on all paved streets and the 4O-pound ''T'' rail on unpaved streets. Most of the steel now used on the paved streets is of the 56-peund stock and there is some 38-pound and some 40-pound "T' rail in use.
 J. T. Flood, track engineer TOT Ford, Bacon and Davis, who arrived here from New York yesterday, Will begin the work of repairing the tracks immediately and as soon as the 1o- pound steel arrives, he will superln- tend the work of laying it on the paved streets.

 Perhaps it was forecast of what have been given the right of suffrage and have assumed all the duties of man, from blowing in the field to directing the policy of a daily news- paper but the reportorial rooms of the Graphic Friday and Saturday nights much more resembled scene of active preparations for church fair than the editorial sanctum of morning newspaper.
 The managing editor, we'll known Pine Bluff lady, and her staff. of re- portars and writers, fitted about the office, rendering assistance here and there, reading proofs, editing copy, and using blue pencil to cu't out some of the more sentimental effusions. Items that occurred during the day were forgotten (even those written by the regular staff were relegated to oblivion to make room for City Beautiful dope

Washington. May 13.-By vote of l 2s7 to 39 the House today passed a

 The resolution as already modified ,shg the Senate. on motion of Senator nfistew, provides for central super vision of the senatorial elections. Jhfs provision was fought by mem- hers from the South, led by Represen- tative Bartlett, of Georgia, who held that central interference would lead to . return of carpet-bagging.

 The majority of the state legisla- tures meet next January and each will probably act on the amendment as speedily as possible.

POET ADVISES "GARDENA" As

In Homeric ballad, inspired by the
Muse of the Greeks, A. NJ. Hook
a Boulder ranchman, who has no.
ticed the stories about changing
Grand functions name, has sent the
following to Mayor Todd:
A new name for your city?
| see by the news,
And the thought that you seek it has
Weakened the muse
To send a line to the hearts desire.
That may aid you to build all the
thought may require;
Not a name plain nor fancy, but one
that will tell
All the world of the beauties in the
vale where you dwell;
A garden, Gardena in that wondrous
poem,
The Good Book hath spoken mans
first earthly home,
And to be in lifeis garden and find
Eden there,
Mans dream will come truly in
Gardena, so fair,
And those who may seek it, when
they look on the map,
VIII say "Gardena. Gardena. sounds
good; that's where wen unstrap."
Grand Junction. Grand Junction"
the railroads. may roar,
But the thought is Gardena, THE
Junction" no more,
And Gardena can claim the wide
world with its fame:
No city on the planet now shares
in its name;
am a rancher who write this, ! just
came from the ditch
70 drive my thoughts to you to see
II they would hitch;
f you've called for suggestion. please
let them be on the spot;
II YOU send out a mobile" and
Gardena lot;
If hit the high feathers with
"Gardena the poem" ! will light on
the 'buzzer" and fly over home;
Immediately, with plenty of money
of money 10 invest In Gardena,
May | have the honor TO be,
Yours for prosperity in Gardena
