LUMBER RATE HEARING.
Important Meeting of Railroad Com
 mission Today

Little Rock, May 20.-One of the most important hearingslin long time is to be held today before the Arkansas railroad commission. Four roads, the Rock Island, the Iron Noun tain, the Cotton Belt and the M. & N A., have petitioned the commission for permission to put into effect new tariff on rough material, principally lumber. It would mean a considerable increase, probably an average of one cent per hundred for all distances.
 The lumber companies all over the state are making hard fight against the proposed increase, declaring that it will be unjust and will work a great hardship upon the lumber in- dust1y. On the other hand the rail reads are declaring that the condi- tions of the traffic justifies the ad- vance. There are several hundred in terested mill men and railroau men in attendance at the session of the com mission.
 The commission held a meeting in West Memphis yesterday to consider petitions that have been filed to re. quire the Iron Mountain and the Rock Island to establish depot at that point.

ONE FINANCIER
IN HIS CELLAR

According to a message received from
President J. II. Hannaford Of the Gill
more and Pittsburgh railroad COM
pany there will be no immediate COM
pliance by the company with the de-
Sires Of the Lemhi county petitioners
who asked for daily train and mail
service between this town and Arm
S tead.
Mr.. Hannaford says the daily ser
vice would not be justified at the
present time but that if business inn
proves so that the expense can be
borne without loss the daily train
may be considered favorably, or words
to that effect.
The informationis given in letter
to James NJ. CapIes, secretary of the
salmon petitioners in the matter.
Maybe the present prosperity that is
hitting everywhere else in the land
somehow missed striking around Mr.
Hannaford. Perhaps he has been
down in the cyclone cellar back
somewhere in the east. Somebody
should tell him about the storm being
over and bid him come forth
