 ZINC FIELDS.
s2OO,0O0 IN BONDS ISSUED
Work on New Road to Start Not La ter than April 10, According to Con- tract-Road Will Be Fifteen
 Miles Long.

COIJeT.- Final arrangements for the con struction of the Cotter, Rush and Min eral Belt railroad were completed at a meeting of the Board of Directors at Cotter. A contract for the building of the road and all bridges, including an 160-foot steel bridge over Crooked creek, was awarded to the Burke Brothers Construction Company ot Fort Smith. The $200,000 in bonds IS, sued by the road have been bought at par by Chicago trust company. The bonds bear six per cent interest.
 Work on the new road is to start not later than April 10, according to tke contract. The road will be Is miles long with three miles of switches and side tracks. It will extend from Cotter, where it connects with the White River division of the Iron Mountain to Rush, 15 miles south.
 The total cost of the road will be S300,000 including equipment. Of this, S100,000 was secured from the sale of the authorized capital stock and the remainder from the sale of bonds. Little passehger traffic is eX- pected, as the road is being built prin- cipally to tap the zinc mining belt.
 Among the mines which will con tribute freight are the Red Cloud, which was leased last week for year at S19,O0O; the Morning Star, which recently sold for $lO0,OOO, and half dozen smaller mines. All of the ore and jack from these mines now is hauled to the railroad for transporta- tion to smelters.

DRAINAGE DISTRICT
 DECLARED INVALID
MORGAN ENGINEERING COMPANY DENIED RELIEF FOR
 SERVICES.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
In Another Craishead County Inn provement Case, Tribunal Holds Road District Was Not Prop
 erly Formed.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 The supreme court passed upon two important cases originating iu Craighead county.
 The legislative act creating the Cache River Drainage District iii Craighead, Jackson and Lawrence counties was held invalid. the court refusing to grant the Morgan Engi- neering Company relief in a claim for neering services.
 The original act creating the district was enacted in 1911, but insufficiency of definite boundaries of the proposed district made it invalid.
 A second act passed by the 1913 Legislature repealed the 1911 act The engineering company sued for services rendered under tte act of the 1911 Legislature. The supreme court, Tn affirming the decision of the Craighead court, held that The 1913 act did not purport to and could not cure defects of description in the proposed district boundaries as described in the 1911 act. and that it was not within the power of the Legislature of 1913 o validate contracts made by directors of district which never did in fact exist.
 The other case from Craighead county was that of Lamberson vs. Collins, in which the road district was not properly formed. The court held that preliminary surveys. esti- mates of cost and such, for a district organized under the Alexander stat nte. must be made by the state high way department. The decision of the lower courts upholding creation of the district was reversed, according to the supreme courts decision, because pre- liminary surveys, plans and specified tions and estimates of cost of the pro posed road were not procured and filed in the county court before the petitions for creating of the district were circulated.
 The supreme court reversed and re- manded a case appealed from Ran dolph County. in which J. o. Sallee, treasurer of the Running Lake Drain age District is seeking to obtain S26,- 755.S1 and interest. belonging to the district, from the Bank of Corning.
 The contention was that, under the provisions of the districts creation. 1t would not be lawful for the bank to pay the money to Sallee. who sue ceeded Ferd Spinnenweber as treas urar of the district The lower court sustained a demurrer to the com plaint, the demurrer having been filed by the bank.

KEEP HORSES IN GOOD ORDER
Slim Economy to Permit Animals to Fall of In Flesh-Oats and
 Corn Are Best Grains.

It is poor economy to let the horses fall off in flesh by reducing the grain. Horses cannot be kept in good order on straw and a poor quality of hay. They need little grain, even if they are idle. To have the horses strong for spring blowing, narrowing and other heavy and exhaustive work, they must be kept thrifty and in good
 flesh all through the winter. Oats and corn and bran are the best grains. If there is no steady work, take off

Last year we were handicapped for lack of funds at the outset and be- cause there was a general opinion that the law would be held unconstituton- al. The Pulaski Chancery Court sus' tained the constitutionality of the law and the only game law which has been declared unconstitutional is the fed eral migratory game law, which has nothing to do with the state law.
