MEN AND MATERIAL READY
Architect Blaisdell Has Busy Force of Craftsmen Con- pleting Working Plans for Entire Group of Structure.

Ground was broken this week for the first of five big buildings at the new Little Rock College, near Forest Park. A large force of workmen and a plentiful sup ply of brick, cement and lumber are on hand, and the construc- ton work will be rapidly pushed.
 Each one of the buildings composing the quadrangle will be named for a bishop of the Little Rock diocese of the Cath olic church. The first building will be Fitzgerald hall, named in honor of a predecessor of Bishop John B. Morris.
 Architect F. M. Blaisdell has a large force of draftsmen drawing up the working plans for the other buildings, which will be started soon.

Mayor Bradley, E. T. Reaves, Thos. T. Myers, l.. R. Waddey and other Pulaski Heights fish, ermen have great stories to tell about the size and quantity of the fish they catch on their oc- casional outings, but none of them offer the proof that M. B. McNeely brings back from Flor ida, where he has been on sum- mer vacation. No one can dis pute a photograph or that the figure in the picture is that of the well-known representative of the International Harvester Company. In his hand MT. Nc Nicely is holding a monster tar pon, the sportiest fish that in- habits the waters of the gulf. The nimrod wants no greater pleasure than to get one of these big fish on the end of his line, wear him out by careful angling, and finally land the silvery prize on the sandy beach.

Midland Hills Man Is Popular Candidate
 for Circuit Clerk of Pulaski County
JACK MALONEY'S FRIENDS SEEK TO PROMOTE HIM AT NEXT COUNTY
 PRIMARY.

Pulaski Heights voters are es- pecially interested in the candi- dacy of Jack Maloney, present chancery clerk of Pulaski coun- ty, whose friends are urging him for the office of circuit clerk, a promotion that they claim he well deserves because of his faithful service to the public and to his party. MT. Maloney is a resident of Midland Hills, his home being at 120 Prospect avenue.
 When the electors go to the polls to select their public serv- ants they should exercise the same discriminating judgment that they do when employing men in their private business, " said a prominent citizen yester- day. eff this rule prevails at the next Pulaski county Demo- cratic primary, Jack Maloney will receive the nomination for circuit clerk"
 Everyone who has had busi- ness with the office of the clerk of the Chancery Court during the faithful service of MT. Malo- ney knows of his efficiency, and that, coupled with his exception al qualifications, he is always courteous and accommodating. It has been through these traits of character and splendid ability that he has, by his own efforts, forged to the front in this com munity, and he has frequently been selected to fill positions of honor and trust without any so- hcitation upon his part. Over his protest he was elected secre- tary of the Democratic State Central Committee, and he is

GAS COMPANY IN NEED OF DITCH DIGGERS, NOT
 ENGINEERS.

A headline in a newspaper says, Water Seven Feet Deep Over Gas Line in Red River Bottoms" From this it is sur missed that if the gas line was eight feet lower than it is, it
 would be one foot below the wa ter line and safe from floods.
 That seems to be all there is to the situation. What are the engineers worried about? What does the Little Rock council want to send a committee to in- vestigate? Any Irishman would know what to do in a case of that kind. Put the pipe line eight feet lower and stop this thing of cutting off the gas ev- cry time there is a summer shower. It could have been done after the first break. There is no excuse for continued inter- ruption of the service, causing inconvenience to the public, loss of money to patrons and imper- fling the health and lives of women and children, all because of the lack of a little horse sense on the part of the people who are supposed to supply gas to Little Rock and Pulaski Heights.

TWO PARSONS FIGHT AT CHURCH DOOR, GOAT
 TACTICS WINNING.

"Nigger, you isn't ordained ob de Lord; you is CT man-made preacher. Dat old license paper ain't no good in dis church. ," Such was the declaration made by the Rev. Josephus Ellis to the Rev. James Green at the con- clusion of the Sunday service at the colored Methodist church in West Rock. Several other preachers and church dignita- ries came up, and the discussion waxed warm.
 Brother Ellis lowed thar was a lie out somewhere" and these words were a signal for the two divines to go together in real combat. A few blows passed and the worshipers with drew to a safe. place, awaiting the result, which was quick and effective.
 Brother Ellis, he who was 4or- dained of the Lord" recalling the goats of olden times, sud- denly bent his head, took a run ming start and gave the licensed minister of the gospel a terrific ram midway of his Prince AL bert. Brother Green doubled up and rolled over on the ground in pain. Then Brother Ellis, trans forming himself from goat to feline, began to claw, scratch and bite.
 Brother Prince, one of the on lockers, attempted to separate the belligerents and came near being chewed up himself. Fin ally the two parsons satisfied their individual honor and preaching was resumed.
 News of the excitement reached the ears of Marshal Hawkins, and Monday night all of the colored population of West Rock was at the trial of the two fighting preachers be- fore Mayor Bradley.
 After hearing the testimony, the mayor fined Parson Green $1 and costs, whereupon the parson asked for a change of venue to Wrightsville.
 Wrightsville is a town with predominating colored popula- tion. The application was de- nied, and the case will be ap- pealed to a higher court.

JUDGE ASHER GIVES ADDI- TIONAL $500 FOR

On request of the City Coun- cil of Pulaski Heights, Judge Asher has contributed an addi- tional $500 for the county to be applied on the Eighth avenue improvement, to finish which funds were lacking. The coun- ty originally agreed to give ST. 500, but it was found that this was not sufficient. When the de- tails of the cost of the improve ment were officially presented to Judge Asher by Mayor Bradley, he agreed to make the extra al lowance asked for by the coun- cil.

1 as in the few years past. Why? No one knows. The Tabernacle yes, in it at twelve each day is given a musical recital. Guides show you around; not, however through the Temple. This, to the Mormon, is too sa- cred for any save the true Nor mon. Brigham Young was real ly great man to conceive the laying out of a city in such sym metrical form as to endure for the ages, and still be followed when a new people came into his midst to attempt to make this once great desert blossom like the rose. It's beautiful City Park contains fine collection of ostriches, the only ones I saw outside of the ostrich farms.
 The reclaimed land, the grow ing trees and crops, the thrift everywhere, show that the bee hive for a State emblem was wisely chosen.
 The trip through the noun tains and Royal Gorge was a happy relief from the hot day and barren desert wastes; yet either side to be reclaimed. Yes, reclaimed! Who shall say, in view of what difficulties have been overcome that engineering will not in the future devise means to utilize every waste acre?
 Tired and worn, we reached Denver. Mrs. Hamon met us at the train, much belated. All who know her will understand the genial welcome we received. All who know her and her moth CT, Mrs. Parker, will be glad to know that each is well and doing well. You should sit upon the porch of their beautiful home and breathe the bracing morn ing air, and watch the glorious sunset behind the Rockies, as we did last evening.
 We were glad to meet Mrs. w. Peterson here, too. Each face we know is suggestive Of another fairy land-Pulaski Heights-toward which we are moving.
 Now just word to friend and stranger, should this med ley greet you: Are you plan ming a trip to San Francisco? Do not miss seeing the side trips to Los Angeles and San Diego.
