FAYETTEVILLE COMPANY READY TO RESPOND ID
 SPRINGDALE'S CALI

Some Springdale people were more than anxious Tuesday morning, dur ing the big blaze to ask aid from tn Fayetteville and Rogers fire de partments, and request was sent by Mayor Lane to Rogers and Fayette- vile asking for help. The two de- partments would have been Of little assistance, as almost all their appara- tus is for fighting fire in cities and toewns where there is a system Of water works. However, the Fayette- vile company was ready and willing to respond, as is shown in the fol lowing letter received by Mayor 1. T. Lane from c S. Duggans, Chief of the sSre Department at Fayette vile:
 Mayor Lane: am very sorry to hear of our sister town having such a fire. When you phoned he to come to your assistance l did not spare any time. immediately phoned the agent at the depot to find out when We could get out, and they offered to hold the train that was at the depot then. At that time 1 had nothing ready so l let tthem go, and arranged that when l got my men ready to take switch engine, but the agent called Spring dale, and they said the fire was then under control and not to come.
 | am certainly ready and willing to come Q your assistance, and am 50 sorry that l did not not get to come and help you in your trobu. les. had four.heavy extinguish= CTS and they are placed at different parts of the town. One man cannot carry one far, and that was what was delaying me in getting convey ance in time, and get them all at the depot, and get the first train.
 I certainly appreciate the kindness of the Frisco, as they were ready to full to them. I certainly sympathize with you in your loss, for Spring dale has warm place in my heart, and if in the future lean be of any assistance please call on me. Had not received the last message that the fire was under control, We would have been there.
 With ikind regards to you and the good people that have sustained the loss by fire. hope to remain.

LETTER FROM COLLIER

Little Rock, Jan. 10-m a recent interview President Wilson is quoted as saying that the most important thing about the presidency is patron age, and the average Arkansas leg islator is now ill a position to thor oaghly sympathize with him Several positions paying nearly or quite so much as a membership in the legis- lature are to be filled by election by that body, and the various appli eants for these positions necessarily have to do their campaigning in the three or four days before the open ing Of the session. This condition neeessitates continuous activity OH their part, and they surely improve each shining moment with extra zeal thrown i'll the drak part Of the day.
 It appears at this time that the presidency of the Senate is to be won by Senator Lundy, former resi- dent of Washington county. He is a very progressive, active young man, and will undoubtedly make an excel lent presiding officer
 In the contest for the Speakership of the house there is a situation that baffles the most astute of the politi clans, there being yet three eontes- tants for the honor and neither able to muster a majority In fact the best estimates are that each have nearly an equal number of. pledges. It is now certain that the contest wil=haye to 90 to the house and that several ballots will be re qaired This is an unfortunate sit. nation as each day spent in ballot ing costs the state about One Thou sand Dollars. X caucus could be held before the opening as all the mem bars could easily attend. Efforts have been made 10 get Governor Hays to declare a preference for one of the candidates without success.
 The contests for the various off oes have kept talk of probable legis- lation to minimum. Especially have the financially wise kept silent. Bills for public utilities commission and for the calling of constitution al convention will be introduced early in the session.
 Of interest to people are the can didacy of Uncle Bill Allen, of Cane Hill for sergeant-at arms of house Elmer Bement and Roy Dill for assis- tant journal clerk of the senate, and Donald Jones and Clifford Brogdon for pages in the house, representing the third congressional district

tact as soon as the embers cool C. nough to permit an examination.
 The Brodie Studio was a com plete loss. nothing being saved, not even the display case that adorned the foot of the stairway on Emma Avenue. The furnishings in the of flee of Dr. Young was a complete loss, and Dr. Day succeeded in say ing only very small portion of his office supplies, hardly an arm full.
 A, E. Smyer & Son probably suffer ed the heaviest loss, their large stock Icing damased 10 a considerable ex +en+ by the rough handling by excited spectators, and helpers who assisted in carrying out the stock. During the fire Emma Avenue, which was muddy from recent rains and freezes was piled high with articles from the in-shop and other nearby buildings, together with portion of the im- mense stock of the New York Store. Spectators carried goods both into the main street, and into the yard of L. N, Riggs, directly north of the burning buildings.
 The two two-story buildings are q mass of smoking bricks and burning embers, and although the north wall of the Graves building still stands it is absolutely worthless, as the flames completely sapped the strength of it. The west wall of the New York store is in poor condition, al- though still standing, and although the interior of the store shows lit tie signs of the recent disaster, the wall is not considered safe.
 It is almost a miracle as to how the building occupied by the Fair Store was saved. The fire wall is cracked in several places. and after the fire had completely destroyed the adjoining building portionZof the wall gave way. The stock of the Fair Store is badly damaged 6T smoke, and the shelves on the east sila are badly scorched. The room was completely filled with smowe and was given up as lost during the carrier stages of the fire
 Just how the fire started seems to be mystery The fire originated in the Broaie Studio, beyond doubt, as he flames were confined to the upper part of the building on the ar rival Of the fire company, and did net break through the ceiling to the low CT floor until several minutes after ward. Mr. Brodie states that he worked in the studio developing films and plates until near nine Q clock Monday evening, and had small fire going in the coal stove To- cated near the middle of the second l floor, but hat he was particular to note that the stove was in safe order for the night before leaving. He had a small fire, butt nothing out of the ordinary He is at loss as to how to account for the startingof the dis astrous blaze. Nightwatchman Bag gett made his usual rounds ot one thirty and reports that he was in the rear of the destroyed buildings at that time and saw no indications of Mrs. w. G. Ownbey, who lives about a block away, and who was awakened by the crash of the glass of the sky light as it fell from the heat of the flames underneath.
