NEW INTEREST IN
 POWER PLANT
oUACHlTA POWER COMPANY TO SECURE ADVANTAGES TO
 WARD CONSTRUCTION.
When Developed the Pant Will Be Located Near Essex Park and Win Furnish Power Very Economically.

Interest continues to increase in the probability of the establishment near this city of a water power plant, now that the railroad commission of Arkan- sas has granted a permit to the Qua chita Power Company of Arkansas to construct a hydro-electric power plant on the Ouachita river. about six mics from this city,
 The company plans to develop G.. GOO or 1000 horsepower at it's prin- cipal power dam, which will be located one and three-quarters miles south from the Rock Island track, from Law, renee station and the Essex Park race track, and to locate a large cot ton mill near its power plant. The remainder of the power will he trans mitted to Hot Springs, Benton Nal vern, Little Rock and other points within 150 miles radiy
 They have also a permit to con struct auxiliary and storage dams on the Ouachita river and it's tributaries above their principal power dam which, when constructed. will give them several thousand horse power more than their initial development.
 They are confident that they can get the contract for supplying from 1,500 to 1000 horsepower to the Little Rock and Hot Springs inter- urban, when it is built, at a price considerably less than that company can produce it from coal, and so save the interurban company the cost of installing a power plant They a'so expect to run suburban electric railway from Hot Springs down the Hot Springs creek to the lake or mill pond, which will be created by the building of their dam, and make a fine recreation feature for Hot Springs for boating and fishing on the waters of the ake.
 Levi Storth of Little Rock is presi- dent of the company. and D. L. Phil lips is secretary and manager. The company is given two years in which to begin the construction and four years in which to complete the same.
 A former grant by the state to another company, dated May II. 1910, to construct q plant near the location of the Ouachita Power Company's site has expired on account of the failure to construct within the time given.

The Little Rock highway will he among the most interesting topics es discussion to be brought un before the Young Mems Chamber of Com merce at it's meeting tonight when Ia number of subjects very important to this city will also be up for atten- ton,
 It is said that tne matter of fur thering the publicity bureau adyo- cated by the Young Mems Chamber .of Commerce along the lines of secur- ing publicity for Hot Springs without the use of regular advertising agen cics in whose coffers the money is poured. will be taken up and dis cussed with a view to establishine this department immediately after the organization in open meeting has had an opportunity to approve the plan.

Win Repair and Resurface the Paving on Malvern Avenue Which Was De

With the arrival in the city yester- day of w. B. Campbell Pitcher presi- dent of the Southern Bitulithic Paw ing company, renewed interest was taken in the work of creating a pay ing district for Prospect and Quapaw avenues, and Exchange street from the intersection of Prospect to Re serve avenue.
 President Pitcher came to see the commissioners of the Malvern avenue district relative to resurfacing that avenue with the bitulithic paving He did not have any idea so much of the paving was damaged in the fire of last September, and had indicated that the company would make the re- pair without cost to the taxpayers of the district, but yesterday when it was measured and the fire damage had been so excessive in comparison with the general wear of the paving. it was thought probable some ar rangement for at least a partial pay ment of the repair work would have to be made.
 MT Simon Cooper who has been one of the active commissioners of the district, said yesterday that he was certain they would be able to make some amicabIe agreement that would meet the situaGc~
 President Pitcher went over the proposed new district on Prospect and Quapaw, and recalled that some years ago q contract was about to be entered into between his company and a district formed there, but the property interests were doubtful in taat district then Now that is one of the most secure paving districts of the city.
