THE INCINERATING PLANT.

Some months ago the board of health, consisting of some of the best physicians and most public spirited men of this city, urged the buying of d good and sufficient incinerating plant. They wanted the plant pnr- chased at the time. and to be install- ed as soon as possible, so it would serve during this heated period.
 There were delays, and have been delays, until now the plant is yet un. purchased. The need of great hurry now has passed, for the plant could hardly be installed even if purchased now. before t,re fall months
 In view of the fact that there is no particular rush now. the idea of "mak- ing haste slowly by Investigating the plants of other cities. seems a good one. The best plants of tho other cities should be patterned after
 except that the one built here should be better than all the others.
 We stili contend, with the board or health. that it would be great aud lasting advertisement if Hot Springs could boast among other municipali- ties that this worlds greatest health resort had the MOST MODERN AND PERFECT incinerating plant in tue country. To have our city excel in this would cost little more t.lan tu merely buy a good plant, and we be. lieve in excelling on this point.

THE RECEPTION IDEA.

The giving of a welcoming recep- ton to Dr. William Parks, the pew superintendent of the Hot Springs reservation. by the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce, is a splendid idea.
 1t shows spirit of cooperation with the government representative in Hot Springs. The post of repre- senting the government interests here should be cooperative with the work Of advancing our general interest.
 The fact that the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce also gives recognition in this reception of the splendid work done here by the de- parting superintendent, is also fitting.
 The arrangement of the reception will be announced after Dr Parks has arrived and his convenience in the matter has been consulted. And WE feel sure that Hot Springs generally will join in this showing of publir interest in recognition of a change that is materially important to Hot Springs,
