MEETING AT TEXARkANA
 WAS A BIG SUCCESS|
SOUTH WESTERN IMMIGRATION \ ASSOCIATION HELD FIRST
 QUARTERLY MEETING
Select Shreveport for Next Gathering Delegates Were Nicely En.
 tertainmed.

The first quarterly meeting of the southwestern Immigration Associa- tion was held at Texarkana in the of fees of the Texarkana Board of Trade Tuesday, President H. G. Spauldng, of Pine Bluff, presiding. After an ad- dress of welcome by the mayor of TeXarkana an informal discussion re- lative to ways and means of securing settlers for the undeveloped lands of the southwest was indulged in by a large number of the members pres ent This discussion was suitably en- livened by the opening of several large consgnments of wit and humor by the worthy vice president for Louisiana, W. A. Jones of Shreveport The meet ing however was mainly devoted to a serious discussion of the topic, How to secure one hundred thousand good farmers for the Cotton Belt territory"
 There has perhaps never been shown so great spirit of co-opera- tion among the land men of the south west as was evidenced at the TeXar- kama meeting and by comparing views and methods the members gained many ideas for the better handling of real estate business of this territory The association is rapidly becoming a means of educating it's members in the best methods of conducting the land business. One member expressed himself as more than pleased with the day spent in conference with his fel- low real estate men, saying that he had gained ideas that would mean dollars to him in his business.
 One of the most pleasant features of the meeting was the luncheon giv- en by the TeXarkana Board of Trade to the visiting members of the associa- tion. After an urgent invitation de livered by Mir. Jones. Shreveport was selected as the place to hold the next quarterly meeting which will occur in l December.
 The Southwestern Immigration As sociation promises to become power ful factor in directing and shaping the development of the territory along the 1 Cotton Belt and other southwestern lines of railway and every real estate member in the southwest should take
 
 the association. The association was organized entirely as Cotton Bel enterprise but it's scope is beins rapidly widened to include other lines The management of the development work of the Cotton Belt is lending it support to the movement and is lookin. to the real estate men to co-operat, in the securing of immigration to tn territory along it's lines Just at pres ent the agricultural and industrial de partment of the Cotton Belt is fittin; out fine, new exhibit car which is t.
 be sent through the North in order t.

 wonderful crops that may be grow on our lands. Every business man o
 farmer in the southwest is intereste
 in the development of Arkansas farm
 ing lands and it is hoped that man will contribute samples of good corr . oats, wheat or other farm crops t
 help make this exhibition attractive Anything of this nature should be sen to the exhibit car care the Cotton Bel storekeeper Pine Bluff.

FIGHT STILL ON IN SENATE.
Republicans Reject Democratic Com
promise Plan,

The fight between republicans and
democrats over the confirmation of
President Taft's nominations during this
session Of Congress is still on in the
Senate, despite a suggestion of COM
promise by the democrats. The repub-
Leans rejected the compromise plan as
not fair and the battle line is again
drawn up.
AS a compromise, the democrats sug-
gested that a committee of five repub-
licans be appointed to meet the commit
tee of five democrats already appointed,
to go over the nominations and agree
upon those to be confirmed
The republicans declared that it was
not for a committee of republicans to
say what nominations should be con-
firmed and what should not be, and ar
gued that confirmation depended upon
the action of the full Senate.
This position has been taken by the
republicans. it is believed, because they
are confident of forcing a good many
nominations through the Senate. The
republicans have a majority Of the upper
house. in case regular republicans and
progressive republicans stand together.
1t is in the belief that they will be
united in this fight that the overtures of
the democrats for a compromise have
been rejected.
