 WHITE CLIFFS
ConSreSSman Wiago Presents Claim of White Cliffs OH Little River;
 Says it is the Best.

Washington, Aug 14.-Business in terests of Texarkana and Southwest er,l Arkansas do not propose that the government nitrate plant shall be 10 Springs without a struggle, for they have a pet site of their own which they arn urging upon the government Congressman Otis T. Wingo, of the Fourth Arkansas district, acting as the spokesman of the TeXarkana in terests, this week presented the claims of the White Cliffs site on Little River in Little River County, Arkansas, to t.?c board of army engineers of the war department and urged that the White Cliffs location be inspected. Whi e Cliffs is enc of the largest nal ural cement deposits in the world and it is said would make an ideal lOcat- ion fer a hydro-electric nitrate plant. It is considered altogether likely that the chief of army engineers will desi- Sna.e MaJOf bdTueH engineer III charge at Dallas, Texas, to inspect the White Cliffs site and report to the board of army engineers as to its availability as the site of nitrate plant
 The army engineers are having experts go into the whole subject and it has not yet been definitely deter mined as to whether water power or some ether power will be used in the manufacture of nitrate for the gov ernment If it is decided that water power will be utilized in the manu- facture of nitrate, no site will be con- sidered unless at least 100 900 horse power is immediately available.

HUGHES STATEMENT
cr:es Appropriation for Arkansas
 River Vas "rork' Measure,

V ling-oa. Aag 12-Tn protest against a stst-raont made in recent speeches by former Justice Charles E. Hughes, Republican candidate for president, in which the appropriation for the Arkansas river is characterize ed among others as pork measure. Congressman Jacoway today address ed a letter to W. B. Smith, president of the Little Rock Board of Commerce setting forth the advantages that would follow opening of the water way.
 None of the appropriation for Ar kansas rivers may be fairly called pork measures, and certainly not the appropriation for the Arkansas MT. Jacoway said.
 "The Arkansas carries greater tonnage, with single exception of the Mississippi, than any other river men toned in the bill and if MT Hughes could have been present at the com mittee hearing when these appropria- tions were discussed I do not believe he would have made the statement"
 MT. Jacoway was active in getting the appropriation for the Arkansas river and among other exhibits sub mitted to the committee detailed statement showing the actual per cap ita saving to the people of towns be- tween Little Rock and Fort Smith on coal if transported by river
