Des Arc Items.

l was out on the Missouri Southern
Railroad last week. Business is look
ing up a little. Several big orders are
out to bid on-mostly railroad ma
teriaI. The merchants seem to have
a fair trade in shoes, stoves and cloth
ing. The Big Muddy has put aman to
buying ties along the main line, after
being idle for some time. P. R. Walsh,
I understand, is in the market for ties.
He is a big buyer. H. l. Ruth has
placed a good many orders among the
mills, also the Western Tie and Timber

switch ties. / was talking to Mr.. Hill,
another lumber buyer. Theya ire want
ing lumber and bought several cars of
oak ties and lumber on the Missouri
Southern and Frisco Railroads. l was
at Brunot Saturday. Met 81 teams
coming in with lumber from Powers
Mill. Also met % or 80 tie teams.
They pay cash at Des Arc for every
load of ties. John Farris is also doing
a big business in ties.
