WATER COMPANY ACTIVE
Working to Secure More Right of Way Over Private and unplated
 Lands.

An important meeting of the Ninth Ward Club was held at the Forest Park Church Friday night, with large attendance.
 B. r. Kidd, president of the Little Rock School Board. said that as soon as the finances of the district will permit, adequate buildings are to De erected at Forest Park and on the Heights. At present the buildings are too small, and the portables are very undesirable. He said that if the 12- mill tax amendment is adopted there would be no further delay, and that he believed a 9-mill levy would be sumcient.
 Mrs. c. H. Joslyn, former president of the s. I. A., reminded MT. Kidd or the promises made by the board a year ago. The enrolment at Forest Park has increased since then from 113 to 168
 Alderman L. H. Bradley sent let ter showing what has been and is being done for the Ninth ward.

  ent and showed the plans for the new fire station, and discussed the plans for paving Prospect avenue.

2OOO Lots Puas Heights May Be Seed at Cost $25 RrLot
 Preliminary Smveyy by Col Hartman for Comprehensive System

tai of 66,200 feet of pipe for the dis tricl. This will furnish two thousand lots with adequate sewer service.
 Another consideration of the need ed improvement is the final cost oi the service for each lot. I have been informed that some districts have been established in Little Rock which have cost the property owners as much as $100 per lot. The courts have decid- ed that $60 per connection is req sonable charge for sewer facilities on Pulaski Heights. Without wishing to exaggerate or be too optimistic and placing the cost at figure relatively higher than the preliminary investi- gation shows, we feel satisfied in say ing that sewer facilities will be fur nished to lots, at present unsewered, at cost not to exceed $25 per lot, payment to extend over period of five years, and lots that are at pres ent severed, at a cost of $15 per lot. payment to extend over a period of five years.
 "The matter is in preliminary form fully worked out. For this reason no further details can be given on the proposed matter, but it seems cer- tain that the district can and should be inaugurated and completed at the earliest possible date.
 Prospect Avenue Paving.
 There is also under way a plan 10 pave Prospect Avenue from the end of the double track, at the east edge of the Ninth ward, to the loop at For est Park, a distance of approximately three miles and a half At Meridian. Miss, Houston, Tex, Kansas City, Mo, a plan has been worked out for im- proving roadway by injecting as- ,phalt into a macadamized street as 1t is being completed, the asphalt form ing filler and making a resilient street
 Tt has proven very successful in these three places, and for this req son the persons interested want to make the experiment of its use on Prospect Avenue According to the plan under way the cost will be borne by the street car company, the city, the county and large property owners. No improvement district will be formed, and work will be done at a minimum cost.
 Street Gar Company to Extend
 Double Track.
 'The Street Car Company proposes at the same time to extend it's doupie track from the present east limits of the Ninth ward to Mt. St. Mary's Con- vent, which will enable 1t to give quicker service whenever it is re- quired to do so and will facilitate the handling of large crowds.
 "These improvements seem to be very greatly needed and it is to ce hoped that they will be started in short while"

Pioneer Lady Dies at Hospital

Sunday afternoon at o'clock at the
Riverside hospital in the city occurred
the death of Mrs. Lydia Hackett, a
pioneer resident of Valley City and
Barnes county. She was about 80
year old, and had been feeling quite
we'll until about three weeks ago, when
she seemed to begin to fail rapidly,
the end coming Sunday. Mrs. Hackett
came to Barnes county in 1879, and the
family first made their home at Get.
chell Prairie, where they lived for
eight years, when they came to Valley
City to reside. In the early days, she
was a great help in settling up the new
country, and was always willing to
give a helping hand and do for others.
The death of Mr.. Hackett occurred
two or three years ago, and the past
year Mrs. Hackett has been living at
the Riverside hospital. Two sons sur
vive her, Ned Hackett, of Weber,
Sask, and another son, Will Hackett,
whose location is not known.
The remains will be taken to New
Richmond, Wis, for burial, and Mrs
Hackett will be buried beside her hus'
band. .s| s-t

FINDS FAVOR IN HIS CANDIDACY

Jamestown Alert: N. C. Macdon-
aid, candidate for state superintendent
of public instruction, was in the city
today. He states that prospects are
very favorable for his nomination.
That his work and experience in rural
schools gives him an advantage over
those whose school experience has
been principally confined to work in
city schools, as 80 per cent of the
state superintendent work is requir-
ed for the one room rural school.
Mr.. Macdonald finds that school
boards are expressing themselves ia.
vorably toward his nomination. He
has had 20 years of school experience
IN the state, ten years as a rural
school teacher, village principal, coun.
ty superintendent, institute conductor,
deputy superintendent and state in
spector of consolidated, graded and
rural schools. He has been indorsed
BY the Nonpartisan league AZ the can.

Rogers Prizes Baseball
Season Open by Win
ming Double Header

Sunday afternoon the baseball sea-
son was opened at Rogers with the
largest crowd that ever attended a
game at the crossing OF the 500 and
Cooperstown branch of the N. P.
Wimbledon was the opposing factor,
and went down to defeat in both con-
tests by lopsided scores. In the first
game Leahy and Grangaard formed
the battery for Rogers and Schmirley
and Knadle were in the points for
Wimbledon. Rogers played steadily
throughout this contest and Wimble.
don played well in streaks. However,
the Wimbledon pitcher did not receive
the support he was entitled to and lost
well-pitched contest by the score of
9 to !.
The second game started with a
change of battery men. The Wimble-
don aggregation seemed affected by
the result of the first game and played
loosely. It developed into so one-sided
contest that it was called at the end
of the seventh inning with Rogerc hav-
ing score of 16 to Wimbledon's 2.
1t is reported that after the second
game Wimbledon released three play
ers and will endeavor to strengthen be-
fore it's next game.
An effort is being made to bring
Rogers and jamestown together here
for series of games during fair week,
and if such arrangements materialize
it ougth to furnish some frst-class en-
tertainment.

two Dozen tulips from the city park on
Saturday evening. The blossoms had
not even reached maturity, and the
beauty of four small beds is now gone

League paid for, set out and cared for
