FINDS SENTIMENT
 STRONG FOR PIKE
ROAD PROJECT FAVORED
SECRETARY OWEN SAYS Ev- ERYBODY WANTS LITTLE
 ROCKET. SMITH HIGHWAY.

Little Rock, July 20.-That senti- ment IS practically unanimous for the proposed macadam highway from Lit tie Rock to Fort Smith, the longest single stretch of improved road ever proposed in the state, is the opinion of w. B. Owen, secretary of the State Highway Commission, who has just returned from three days trip spent In securing data as to property values along the projected route.
 Mr. Owen visited five of the county seats that will be touched by the road. These are Conway, Morrilton, Rus sellville, Clarksville and Ozark. He will return and complete the prelim- mary work in a few days, visiting the remaining county seats. He is secur- ing data from the tax records show ing value of property in the proposed district. This will be used as basis upon which to estimate the improve ment tax
 The plans provide for special act of the next legislature creating a blanket improvement district from this city to Fort Smith and extending to distance of probably three miles on either side of the road.
 Il found everybody in favor of the road said Mr. Owen Even the farmers who live some distance off the road and who might be expected ordi- narlly to oppose the project, told me they wanted it built The county off clals were unit for the district and gave me every assistance in securing data. l shall be surprised indeed if any opposition develops to the road anywhere along the route. The leaven of good roads in other sections seems to have gotten in it's work with the enterprising citizens all along the line from here to Fort Smith.
 q was also surprised at some of the property values I found in many counties. Some sections of land are assessed at figures that indicate that the tax rate for the improvement will be unusually small, as the total prop erty valuation will be in excess of what I expected to find"
 As soon as Mir Owen completes the securing of assessment data Engineer Carter will go over the district and log the road, making estimates of cost, etc. The road will be nearly 200 miles long.

 TAXED UNDER NEW LAW

At meeting of the city council held Tuesday night an ordinance was introduced and placed on it's first reading, having for it's purpose the taxing of livery stables, and automo- piles, used for hire within the cor porate limits of the city.

 Among the many who witnessed the battle were old soldiers, of the Blue and Gray, and many of them could not refrain from shouts and cheers during the engagement. While all arrangements for the battle were pre-arsan nged, and each man knew his particular part, several of the old veterans complimented Captain Ownbey and Lieutenants Fitzgerald and Smyer over the maneuyer of the local company.
 Compliments were heard on all sides for the Kid Band from Stony Point. They proved to be favorites in Springdale the 4th While the band is composed almost entirely of youngsters, four of them being girls, under the leadership of 0rlen Great house, they play unusually well. Al though they have been organized on ly a few months, and received their new uniforms, white coats and caps, only a few days before the 4th, they made splendid showing, and will doubtless be one of the best bands in this section in a short time.
 Sometime during the maneuvers July 4th, some members of Co. "A lost their scabbard and bayonet, and ii has not been determined just what member of the company was so un- fortunate. Aside from this, two other bayonets disappeared on that day, this being the only shortage af- ter the various articles were check cd in Just where, when or how the bayonets were lost it is unable 10 determine Captain ownbey re- quests that anyone finding either of the above mentioned articles, please bring them to the drug store.

 Although the rain kept many at home, Springdale could not have ac- commodated the visitors had the day been clear and pretty.
 Several from Fayetteville were in Springdale for the 4th and enjoyed the celebration. Quite a number were e.s5 here from Rogers.
 Captain Leon Smith, of he Fay etteyiiie company was unable to be there O. account Of sickness, but h-s place 0as ably filled by Lieut.. -3gd Parsons
 Mt single acc mt marred the beauty O. the sham battle, and al- though the large crowd was hard to handle, everyone needed the warning and kept out Of hte line of fire.

 No one has endeavored to estimate the number of persons who attended. the celebration here, but it is safe to say that not town in this sec tion entertained more visitors on the 
 4th, than Springdale.
 Several Of the boys imbibed a little too freely of something stronger than wa-er the 4th and some of them aid ed materially in bettefing the finan- cial interests of the town, when call- ed before the Court.
 Captain ownbey made a requisi- ton on the Government for 10000 blank cartridges, and only received 2,o0o, but they proved sufficiency for the battle. Part of the men were equipped with 20 shots. others with g..

 Several members of the local con- pany were so enthusiastic during the battle, that they imagined they were doing real fighting. When the Fayetteville company fired their first volIey members of the local com. pany began to duck, and hunt GOV CT. One man remarked he could hear the whistle of the bullets.
 Arrangements are now being made for a days outing on Clear Creek with Company 4 and B, preparatory to the two weeks encampment on the target range at Little Rock, which is to be held at Fort Logan H. Roots, in August Guards from Texas, Ok lahoma. Louisiana and Arkansas will participate
 It has been intimated that Con- pany "A" of Springdale and Com pany "B" of Fayetteville will give another sham battle at the Wash ington County Fair, which is to be held September 29, 30 and October and 2. A sham battle is eduea- tional. instructive and inspiring, and would be a novel feature during Faip week.
