SITUATION AT NEWPORT
CONSIDERABLY IMPROVED

Newport Aug. 25.-2 P. M.-(Special to The
)-While the situation in this city has been mate
rally relieved by the receipt of large quantities of food
supplies from Little Rock and other points, the people
of Newport confronted with Herculean task to
bat the unsanitary conditions prevailing here when
the flood waters recede Already hundreds of people
who have been exposed to the elements and who have
been living in damp quarters and with insufficient food
and shelter for several days becoming ILL., Two
groes died yesterday and buried today Another
gro drowned yesterday and his body recovered
and inferred this morning.
The water has fallen twelve inches during the past
twenty four hours and eighteen inches since the flood
was at its height.

basis than heretofore, and we are
assured, also, that just as rapidly
as additional business can be pro-
vided to equalize the day and
night load factors, lower rates for
lighting will be practicable.
The lighting plant at Camden,
also the water plant, is owned by
the Arkansas Light & Power Co.
The plants, operated from the same
grounds and almost entirely from
the same building, lies half mile
from the business center of the
city and is most eXcellently ar
ranged. Three DISQUALIFICATION
pumps over deep wells provide suf-
ficient water to meet all require
ments of the city. The water is
pumped into a large reservoir up
on the power house lot, which, in
turn, is conveyed to a water tower
by two STANDARDIZATION pumps
which maintain an even pressure,
instruments for pressure recording
purposes are provided and it is pos
sible upon a moments notice to
increase fire-fighting facilities to
any desired standard. During the
past few weeks in Paragould COM
plant has been made that low
pressure on the mains has caused
much annoyance to the fire de-
partment, in some instances much
time being required for the pump
ing plant to run the pressure high
enough to give the required power
for combating fire. This can be
almost entirely obviated should the
council conclude to enter into an
agreement to equip the plant with
electric motors, reducing the labor
necessary to increasing pressure. to
the simple task of throwing a
switch. Mayor Morgan of Cam
den stated yesterday that not a
single delay had been occasioned
in that city since the change to
electric motors has been made, and
that at all times the Arkansas
Light & Power Company had shown
keen willingness to make any
slight or substantial improvements
requested by the city authorities.

Gated at night without difficulty.
Mayor Morgan states that during
the several years since the Arkan-
sas Light & Power Company has
owned the Camden lighting plant
willingness to at all times coop
crate with the city administration
has been shown, and that it is only
necessary to call the attention of
the local manager, or President
Couch, to any detail in order to
secure immediate attention.
Those composing the delegation
of Camden visitors yesterday were
w. C. Middleton, A, w. Fligor, Ed
Cole, l.. Stedman, D. r. Campbell,
c. w. Highfill, Tom Treadway and
f. T. Reynolds. The latter was
formerly connected with the Cam
den plant and put forth his best
efforts to see that the Paragould
people were introduced to the bust
ness element at Camden and shown
through the mills and factories, of
which there are many. J.. L. Lon
Clio of Arkadelphia, secretary of
the Arkansas Light & Power Co..
was in Camden and joined the par
ty early in the day. Yesterday eve
ming a reception was given at the
Elks lodge, where perhaps a hun
dred business and professional men,
and several visitors from points
other than Paragould, assembled.
At eight thirty barbecued pork,
mutton and beef was served. The
banquet was presided over by May
or Morgan, who delivered short
address which was responded to by
Mayor Middleton of Paragould.
Secretary Highfill of the local
chamber of commerce spoke in
praise of the splendid work being
done by the Camden chamber of
commerce under the direction of
it's efficient secretary, Mr.. King,
who was formerly associated with
Secretary Kirkpatrick of the Little
Rock organization.

While no definite action will be
taken by the city council in re-
Spouse to the proposal of the Ar
kansas Light & Power Co. to sup
ply electrically-dr machinery
for the operation of the waterWorks
system in Paragould until a COM
petent estimate of the amount of
energy necessary to operate the
plant has been submitted, there can
be little doubt regarding the favor
with which the change is viewed
by the committeeman who visited
Camden yesterday to inspect the
Camden plant. With the enormous
surplus of power available to the
local lighting company-pOwer
which can be utilized during the
daytime when lighting current is
not being taken to any great extent
it is possible for the Arkansas
Light & Power Co. to make a rate
which will represent a very sub
stantial saving to the district while
at the same time showing profit
to the power company. 1t is not
insisted by the managers Of the
supply station that the undertaking
is anything but a business ven
ture, proposed for the purpose of
affording an additional source of
revenue to the owners Upon the
part of the city no fayors should
be asked additional to a reasonable
rate, and upon the part of the
Arkansas Light & Power Co. no eff
fort will be made to entangle the
municipal authorities in contract
that would be anything but desir-
able. This, at least, is the assur-
ance given by the local manager,
IL T. Reynolds, and by II. c..
Couch, president of the properties,
who was in Camden yesterday as
.sisting in the entertainment of the
Paragould delegation. Mr.. Couch
points out the fact that an i'm
mense amount of development work
will be undertaken at once by his
company which is evidenced by an
increase of capital stock from
s65O,OOO to $2,25O,OOO Already
transmission lines are being pushed
out from central stations owned by
the company to small rural commu-
mites and to the less pretentious
towns where the local demand for
light and power is not sufficient to
justify the erection of plant.
Power rates are to be made, says
Mr. Couch, low enough to permit
the operation of small mills and

RAILROADS HARD HIT.


Memphis, Aug. 23.-As a result
of the collapse of a stone pier of
the st. Louis e San Francisco
railroad bridge over Spring river,
between Ravenden and Imboden,
Ark, early yesterday morning, the
Friscos Kansas City-Memphis line
will not be opened for traffic until
Wednesday.
Construction crews, which were
building the washed out roadbed
near the bridge, at 7 o'clock yes
terday morning noted that the pier
was out of line. They watched and
saw the masonry CULVER several
times. Immediately all plans to
reopen the line of traffic yesterday
were abandoned.
At $50 o'clock the pier fell in
with a crash, carrying with it a
big steel girder of the river span.
The girder is 80 feet long.

Spring River is slowly falling. The
flood tide marked a rise of 80
feet. All the bottom farms along
