them take up $1,000 worth OF city
script at par, and should they be sue
cessful, there will be no longer any
doubt that Pine Bluff will have a
piece of the most modern fire fight
ing apparatus of any city in the state.
The new equipment will cost APP
proximately $4,000 and the concern
from which it is to be purchased has
agreed to accept for the truck $1,000
cash, and $500 in script, bearing 6
per cent interest, which is l per cent
lower than the usual rate.
The matter of purchasing the auto
truck was suggested by Mayor Simon
Bloom at the last meeting of the CRY
council and was referred 10 the fire
committee. The committee, which is
composed of Aldermen Frank Franey,

This Is Impression at Ma

Pine Bluffian Finds That Business

Result Of War.
BUSINESS UNRUFFLED

That many people in the national
capital believe the war with Mexico
will result in the United States an
nexing that country, and that The
business interest of the country show
no signs of disturbance over the de-
velopments in the Mexican situation
are statements of Attorney NJ Dana
her of the firm of Danaher & Dana
her who returned Friday night from
Washington.
Mr.. Danaher went to the national
capital to appear before the supreme
court as the legal representative OF
his mother in a case appealed from
the Arkansas supreme court by the
Southwestern Telephone G Telegraph
company, against which a judgmen.
for $1,000 was rendered.
"The impression apparently exist
ing among the people of Washington
is that if the United States is com
PEELED to settle the troubles il MeXi-
CO, this country may as we'll, and
probably will, make Mexico a part of
the United States" said Mr.. Danaher
in discussing the attitude or the
Washingtonians towards the Mexican
situation.
During the debate in congress on
the war resolution, Mr.. Danaher says
it was impossible to gain admission
$50 great was the demand for seats,
that each congressman was allotted
only one ticket. Even then, there
were many turned away. | had a
ticket, but being detained in the SUI
preme court, reached the capitol late
and was unable to gain admission"
Mr.. Dannaher says that opposition
in the senate to the war resolution
disappeared as soon as the report Of
the fight at Vera Cruz reached the
senator's.
'The senate adjourned at 5 o'clock
to re-assemble at O'clock" Mr..
Danaher explained. "The newspapers
seem to 'scop' the government on all
big events, and shortly after the sem
ate adjourned the newsboys were sell
ling extras, telling about the fight at
Vera Cruz. When the senate re-as-
sembled there was no opposition to
the resolution. Those who had OPP
posed sending troops to Mexico ap-
been bloodshed, the only proper thing
TO 90 WAS W Slduu NY luc " CSiuOAl.
Concerning the attitude of business
interests. Mr.. Danaher said that he
had conversed with member OF the
New York Stock exchange and sever
al other leading business men, and
they we're all of the opinion that the
trouble in Mexico would not disturb
business conditions in the slightest
degree.
"The New Yorker said reports OF
the beginning of hostilities did not
cause a ripple Oh the exchange, and
prices were not effected. The i'm
preston seems to be that The money
would be spent anyway, and whether
it is expended in making war on
Mexico or in some other way is OF
no material difference"
Mr.. Danaher, who had been visiting
relatives at Little Rock during her
husbands absence, joined him at the
state capital and returned with him
to Pine Bluff.

The young people of from 20 to 40
years ago (and young at heart still)
were discussing the comparative length
Of life of their toys and the toys of to-
day. Things used to be better in the
oiderf days than now. as anybody can
remember, whether the subject under
discussion is toys or winter or tender.

cluded that toys used to last longer.

point began to dawn upon us. This
year, the horse and engine would be
followed with a horse and hose wagon
or a mechanical automobile. or a con-
struction puzzle, or a velocipede, or a
train OF self-propelled cars, or a steam
engine. OF any other OF 100 things. And
those toys. In about the same proper

clusion. which is. that toys are cheap

realistic n a ever before. Thus was
disposed a very important matter at a
time when parental consciences need
easing on h ground of justifiable ex-
penditure. EA
