Sheep 4OS3, Horses so.
An unchanged cattle market this
week with the exception OF Mon
day when a few extra choice steers
went over the scales at $500 and
1925. Bulk of steer transactions av-
eraged $3.50 to SITS, the same as
week ago. Outlet has not broaden
ed appreciably and killers are not
filling coolers with beef to capacity.
Butcher stock is somewhat weaker.
Best COWS sold at $6.75, bulk $500
to $3.50. Most of the she stuff was
only fair quality. Nothing but heavy
calves were sold and the market is
strong as usual A good trade in
bulls at prices ranging from $500
to $500 was one of the few fea-
lures. Generally the cattle market
is Just steady. Good finished beef
is in fair demand in limited guam
titles only.
The hog market is steady to strong,
Is to 20 cents higher than week
ago. Liquidations have been light,
while buying demand has not abatsd,
a sellers market in all particulars.
Light swine have the call but good
smooth and rough heavy varieties

Receipts for last week have been:
Cattle 1901; Calves IL; Hogs 1885;
Sheep 4191; Horses 20.
Cattle trade has been nominauy
steady, showing little change either
way. Packers are not buying any
more beef than their immediate needs
call for, consequently outlet is more
or less limited. Two or three cars
OF 500 steers appeared in this
weeks run, but bulk of receipts con-
sisted of medium to good grades, sell
ling TBS to $780, A fair demand rules
for choice COWS and heifers at cur
rent quotations. Bulls, stays, and
calves have sold steady to firm
throughout.
Swine market steady to strong with
approximate gains of from 10 to 20
cents during the week. Receipts
have been fairly liberal especially
Mondays run which totalled $500
head. AS killers are in the market
for pork strong, this big shipment
and the normal ones following failed
to bear prices and nothing could pre-
vent aviation. Bulk Of sales aver
aged 500 to $40, with several loads
selling at S.15 and $40.
Mutton demand just steady for
prime ewes and wethers. The latter
was the only class offering. Year
ling stock sold firm at 6.25. Lamb
demand has abated somewhat. due to
approaching 1918 season and desira-
BILE 1912 lambs with wool on are not
being marketed. All the stock on
this weeks market has been sheared
and sold 6,25 to $40.

ARKANSAS GUARDS READY FOR CALL LEAVE ON SHORT NOTICE FOUR COMPANIES WILL GO TO
 EASTERN ARKANSAS IF
 CALLED UPON.

Little Rock, April 9.-Four compa- nies of the Arkansas National Guard Morrilton, Lonoke, Conway and Bee be, have announced that they are in readiness to go to the flooded districts for service when called upon. The Iron Mountain railroad has agreed to transport them to any point on their system, free of cost The state has no funds available to pay for their maintenance while on duty, and mes- sages have been sent to several points where they are needed that they will be sent if rations and quarters are provided for them.
 A call has also been issued from the governors office, to the public spirited business men of the state, asking them to advance men on the credit of the state for the immediate needs of such militiamen as may be necessary to send to the front. The Blytheville company is already on duty on the levee, and calls are com ing for a company at Snow Lake, Desha county.

from President O. N. Killough of the St. Francis Levee Board:
 "The levee at Graves Bayou, about 25 miles south of Bridge Junction, blew out about 1 o'clock this morning The crown of the levee was about two feet above the water, and there was no apparent danger. It is a sand levee and collapsed for lack of base. The water will spread south ard southwest, and will not likely affect any territory north of the Rock Isl and, unless it should stay up for a long time. The rest of the levee line is still holding, bat the situation is growing more critical momentarily, and people are warned to prepare for trouble. We are trying to get boat this morning to come in below the break and rescue any people or stock that may be in peril"

IMPROVEMENTS
 FOR LIGHT PLANT AUTHORIZED BY COUNCIL PRESENT PLANT BUILDING TO BE ENLARGED AND SER
 VICE EXTENDED.

At a regular meeting of the city council last night, the light commit tee was authorized to advertise for olds for the purchase of a new boiler. engine, generator, switchboard pan nel, and also for enlarging the pres ent plant building and an extension of Service to a number of sections of the city.
 The present light committee and Superintendent Leverett have had this improvement under consideration for some time, but have been waiting until the time arrived when the plant revenue could take care of the con- lstructlon expenses, and thus relieve the general fund free from the bur den.
 The present equipment at the light plant is not sufficient to take care of the growing demands of the city of Conway, hence the consideration of this important forward step. The boiler inspector, on his last trip here, cut the pressure so low on the battery of old boilers that they are practical y worthless, and this leaves one boil CT to operate "A hours daily.
 The large Corliss engine operates now from IS to 24 hours daily. These are very dangerous conditions under which to operate a power plant, es- pecially as the fire protection of the entire city is dependent on the one engine, boiler and generator
 The committee hopes to have the new machinery in operation to meet the heavy fall business.
 This IS indeed step in the direc- ton of progressiveness, and Superin tendent Leverett is to be congratulat- ed by all good citizens for the intense interest he has displayed in putting the present plant in the splendid self-sustaining financial condition it now enjoys. When MT. Leverett first took charge of the plant the service at that time was little short of a joke" but today Conway can easily boast of one of the very best lighting and power systems in the south. and such thing as break down or the patrons being without service, is an almost unheard of affair.
 The Log Cabin Democrat sincerely believes if voices tho cantipoap+ of +bn entire populace when it heartily coin cides with the intended improvements of the light plant committee. And, to- gether with the strong wave of inn provement that is now about to begin in Cenway-street paving, new depot, federal building and white way" street lighting, property values will not only increase at least 25 per cent, but we can then boast of one of the prettiest little cities in the south.
 The mayor, marshal and treasurer submitted their reports to the council. The mayors report showed that he had assessed fines to the amount of $110 during the past month, $98 hay ing been collected and turned over to Treasurer Newborn by Marshal Cli- bourn. The treasurer's report shows balance of $48987 in the treasury.
 Accounts and salaries to the amount of $161.55 were allowed.

strued act 234, of the last legislature, to prevent the creation of deficiencies, as permitting the governor to incur obligations of this character, one sec tion of the act reading as follows;
 "The governor, when he deems it necessary in cases of instruction, in vasion, rebellion against the consti- tuted authorities, epidemic, or in cases of calamities, catastrophes, or visita- tions, or in cases of dire necessity may authorize the proper officers to incur such obligations as he deems necessary for the immediate preserva- tion of the public peace, health and safety"
 Such a condition of emergency now confronts the state, but the state has no funds that can be used.
 The war department has shipped a quantity of tents for use of the refu- gees, but they have miscarried in transit, and an effort is being made to locate them.
 Lieutenant Funk, U. s. A., who has been in charge of the flood situation at Helena, has been ordered back to Hamilton, O., and another army off cer relieved him there Tuesday night.
 A report was current here Tuesday afternoon that train service had been amandoneda west of Memphis on ac- count of the flood, but this was an er- TOT. The Frisco was making some re- pairs on the Arkansas approach, to take care of the great volume of wat CT coming down from above, and this caused a temporary delay. One Iron Mountain train out of Memphis was seven hours late, but the next was on ly an hour and half, and the trans portation officials here do not look for any material interruption on account of the flood The service will con tinue, even should the water get over the tracks in places.

Conway and Faulkner county is al so experiencing near record rain fall. Since 6:30 yesterday evening to 2:30 o'clock this afternoon a total of 5.25 inches had fallen Prof. G. H.. Burr of the local weather bureau re- ports that this is not a record, but that it will be a close second is not doubted. Train service between this place and Little Rock is interrupted on account of washout at Marche, 20 miles below here. It is reported that the railway for more than two miles is four feet under water, and it is feared that large tressel at that place is washed away. No mail has been received from Little Rock today and the morning train which passed here at 6 o'clock this morning, and the Hot Springs special will return this afternoon to accommodate local traf- fic. All creeks in the county are up and all traffic is interrupted. The To- cal mail carriers whose routes cross the Cadron and Beaver Fork, return ed this morning and report these streams were out of their banks and were too dangerous to cross.

 Little Rock, April 9.-This city and surrounding country is today expe- rlencing an unprecedented rainfall. a
 total of 9.42 inches having fallen be- tween 6:30 last evening to 10 o'clock
 today. Up to 6 o'clock this morning 5.98 inches had been recorded at the
 local weather station. From 6 o'clock until 10 o'clock the guage recorded 3.44. This establishes record for the same length of time. The pre- vlous record was made on May g and no, 1882, which was 6.33 inches, or 1909 inches below the rainfall last night and this morning.
 All rivers in Arkansas are steadily rising and much anxiety is felt for the safety of people and stock in the lowlands. Late reports from the Mis- slssippi river state that no more breaks have been made in the levees. but the river is still rising and the worst is momentarily expected. Re ports from Clarendon are to the eff feet that White river will reach flood stage at that place tomorrow. The Ar kansas is rising slowly, but nothing is feared from this rise, as no heavy rains have fallen in the upper country drained by this river.
