PRIVATE FIRMS' BIDS .f0R WARSHIPS TOO HIGH
Uncle Sam's Yards SIow Battlesllips Can Be Constructed Far Below
 Prices Asked.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Navy depart mont officials tonight expressed the belief that two government navy yards will build battleships Nos. 43 and A, authorized by the last con- gress. Bids for the construction of the vessels were opened today at the navy department. Private corpora tions submitted bids and the govern ment navy yards at New York Phila delphia and San Francisco turned in estimates.
 All of the bids by the private cor porations were high. Each corpora tion also sent a letter with it's bid, explaining that various omissions would have to be made from the de- partments contract which would also make the price stil lhigher.
 The limit Of cost set by congress for they essels is $7,S00 900 each, exclus- i've of armor and armament.
 Officials expressed doubt that any of the bids of the private corporations would come within that figure, when the additional cost under the changes they specified is considered.

COTTON BELT GETS CLEAR TITLE TO
 SHOPS PROPERY1
Land Donated by Citizens in 1882 Now Legally in
 Possession of Railway.

Title to 100 acres of land given by the citizens of Pine Bluff to the Texas X St. Louis Railway company, way back in 1SS2, now rests solely with the St. Louis Southwestern Railway company, the successor of the grantee under dead executed by w. P. Grace, V. D. Wilkins, c. M. Neal, E. R. Houston and David Bluthenthal, representing the people of Pine Bluff
 The Cotton Belts right to the property, on which is located the shops and yards, was recognized yes terday by Judge John M. Elliott, who rendered judgment for the plaintiff railway company in a friendly suit brought against the men who repre- sented the city in the negotiations which resulted in Pine Bluff secur- inf railroad shops. the value of which demonstrates the far-sightedness of the city builders of the last part of the last century; men who did not hesitate to "plank down" $9,000 for land to he given to a railroad in con- sideration of that railroad locating it's principal shops" here.
 Only two of those who represented the city in the transaction, which has proved such an excellent in- vestment for Pine Bluff, are on this side of the Valley of Death. These are c. M. Neal, who resides ill Cali fornia, and E.. B. Houston, who re- sides near Pine Bluff.
 The necessity for the suit was due to the fact that the deed conveying the property to the old Texas & St. Louis railroad was lost before it was recorded. Since 1891, the Cotton Belt has been using the property without the shadow of legal title thereto. The suit was not opposed
 Besides giving a hint of the alert ness, progressiveness and public spiritedness of the Pine Bluff busi- ness men of the eighties, the litiga- ton also served to demonstrate the wisdom of recording a deed as soon as it is obtained.

RECORD OF THE PAST
No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had in
 Pine Bluff.

Look we'll to their record. What they have done many time in years gone by is the best guarantee of flu ture results. Anyone with bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement.
 F. P. King, salesman, 160 West Thirteenth street, Pine Bluff, says: My kidneys didn't act as they should end I had backaches and pains through my loins. Doan's Kidney Pills fixed my kidneys up in good shape and removed the backache and pain." CStatement given March 31, 1911.)
 Oyer two years later, MT. King said: q haven't felt in need of a kidney medicine since l used Doan's Kidney Pills about four years ago fer have been practically free from kidney weakness"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's kidney Pills-the same that MT. King had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, P1ops., Buffalo, N, Y.

every single instance if it does not give perfect satisfaction and svan mofe-if it is not found the b2st remedy ever used f3r any of the above complaints.
 This excellent remedy is sufficient " concentrated so that 90 cents worth, when mixed al home, with simply on5 pint of granulated sugar and one-half pint Of watsr (acc-r1- ing to printed directions) makes a whole failfly supply (123 teaspoon tu) while bottles of the old, regular, re1dy-msds kinds, of doubtful merit, and without guarantee, usually averages 20 to g teaspoonsful.
 1t is prepared from strictly harm less plants, contains absolutely no chloroferm, opium, morphine or tany narcotic CT injurious drugs which do most cough remedies, and. can thsre- fore ba given to children with perfect safety. It is pleasant te. take and children are fond of it. Rasides ab- solutsly no risk is run in buying this remedy whatever, on the guarantee of tha above, well-known, reliabls drug glsts who will refund your 25c if it IS net found the best rem5dy ever used.
 If a neighbor or friend could be in- duced to divide and pay for half tho quantity, the cost would thus only be about 12c to each.
