$50,000 HARDWOOD LUMBER YARD TO
 ENTER THIS CITY
Minnesota Company Con. tracts with Chamber of
 Commerce to Come Here.

A deal was completed yesterday be- tween the chamber of commerce anG the Twin City Hardwood Lumber company of Minneapolis, Minn. whereby the lumber company con- tracted to purchase a site here fo1 the establishment of quarters at which to concentrate and from which to ship hardwood lumber.
 The consummation of this deal brings to an end negotiations which have been under way for several months, and which were opened shortly after Secretary B. B. Bloom of the chamber of commerce received information that the lumber company desired such branch in this section of the South, the information coming from Harry N. Atwood, agent at Mill waukee for the Iron Mountain, and who is we'll remembered here, where he served the Iron Mountain as com mercial agent for a number of years.
 Immediately upon the receipt of this information, Secretary Bloom took up the matter with the Twin City company, and in April he receiv- ed a visit from H. B. Sutton. the sec retary of the company. MT. Sutton remained here several days at that time, and studied conditions here in great detail. After he departed, he continued correspondence with MT. Bloom in the matter, and finally the deal was concluded yesterday.
 An investemnt of something like $5O,000 will be made here by the com pany, for the purchase of the site and the establishment of it's quarters and necessary machinery plants here.
 It has not been announced how large a force of workmen will be employed here by the company. although the force will be large, of necessity, as the company expects to ship about 300 cars of lumber the first year, in- creasing this quantity by 100 per cent or more within the following year or two.
 The establishment will be located on the old Matthews mill property, in East Fourth avenue, east of the Doris B compress, and which lies between the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt tracks. The deal was closed yester- day for this property, although the purchase price was not disclosed. The Citizens bank, it is stated. was the vendor.
 T. B. Adams, general sales manager of the Twin City company, and who will have jurisdiction over the local plant, is already here, with his fami- ly. as is also J. L. Newton, who will be manager of the local plant. Mr. Newton's family will arrive in Sep tember. MT Sutton will leave with in the next few days for his home at Minneapolis. but MT. Adams and MT Newton will remain here to get the plant established and in running order.

TW0-MEN CREWS
 TO BE RESUMED
 ON STREET CARS
Council Refuses to Repeal Old Ordinance - Fewer
 Cars May Be Operated.

That the street cars of the Pine Bluff company will be manned by two-men crews Friday morning, but that only eight instead of twelve cars, will be- operated beginning thai day, was the consensus of opinion late last night, as result of the action of the city council in refusing to re- peal Ordinance No. 1S40, which de- mands that two-men crews be used. and which ordinance was ordered suspended for four months, at the councils meeting on March 20, 1916.
 Because of the late hour at which the council acted on the matter it was impossible to obtain statement from any of the officers of the Pine Bluff company, as to what the com pany will do. On the floor of the council chamber, however, during the discussion of the matter, it was stated by a number of the speakers that the street cars are not being operated at a profit, and that the com pany will be unable to operate twelve cars with two-man crews, without actually losing money.
 The matter came up with an Ordi- nance to repeal Ordinance No. 1040, which was passed in 1910, and which ordered the police to stop and put out of operation all cars not operat- ed with two-men crews. During the financial stress some months ago, the company requested the council to repeal this ordinance, but the coun- cile refused to take such action, final- ly suspending the ordinance for four months, later extending the period of suspension another four months, during which eight-month period the cars have been operated by one-man crews only, and twelve cars being kept in operation.
 When the ordinance was introduced last night, to repeal Ordiance No. 1040, the fight started, and finally the ordinance was tabled, the general impression being that the company ought to "treat the city fairly and try the two-man crew system for four months" as Alderman Simpson ex- pressed it. The impression prevailed, however, that the two-man crew sys- tenn would bring with it a reduction in the number of cars operated. Four or five carmen in the employ of the company were interested spectators at the meeting of the council last night.

Latest Reports Credit Brit ish with Additional Gains
 Against Germans.
BRITISH CAPTIVES
 NOW ALMOST II, ,OOO
Russians Continue to Press Forward in VOIhynia. and Along the Lower Lipa Riycr-AuStrian Attempt to
 Surround Italians Fails.

London, July 17-Bad weather has , settled over the fighting front in | France. Hostilities have virtually ceased for the moment in the Somme region, Whera the latest reports had credited 10 the British additional large gains against the Germans near Bazantine-le-Peti wood, in the vicin- ity of Longleval and at Ovillers-la- ! l3oisselle. Bombardments are in pro- gross near Souville in the Verdun sector.
 local action during the rain and mists resulted in the capture by the British of additional German pris- oners in the Somme region, and brought their total up to 1S9 officers and 10,779 men of other ranks since July 1.
 Russian Successes COntinUKe.
 In Volhyna, in the region of Lutsk, where the troops of the Teutonic al- lies have been forced to give ground before the adyance of the Russians, and below tn lower Lipa river, the Russians continued to press their foes and are taking additional prisoners.
 Many attacks by Austrians against Italians in the upper Posna valley proved unavailng in pressing back the line of the Italians. Failure like wise followed an attack by the Aus trians to surround the Italians in the Povo valley, according to Rome.i Intermittent bombardments and local fighting between infantry are taking place in the Caucasus region between the Turks and Russians. No important changes have taken place in this theatre.
 Rescue Wounded Germans.
 Tn an enormous cellar at Bezantine- le-Petit, the British found several hundred wounded Germans who had taken refuge. It was tragic business for the British litter-bea arers bring ing them back through the German shell fire, which was meant for the British reserves and gun !positions. There were cases where litter b. arer was wounded and put on a stretcher emptied when wounded German had been killed by the same shell. The British persisted until all who had not received a final wound in transit were safe in the rear.
 A captured record of a German battalion shows that 600 of it's num- Der were killed or wounded by the British shell fire in the bombardment before the attack began.
