SOUTH ENJOYING
PROSPERITY AS
never IN HISTORY
Railroad Car shortage, the
Only Drawback, Having
Only Temporary Effect.

That the South is passing thru an
era Of unrivaled prosperity, such as it
has rarely experienced in its entire
history, is the declara ton of r. NJ.
McWilliams. assistant general freight
agent for the Iron Mountain, at Little
Rock, who was in Pine Bluff yester-
day afternoon with Commercial Agent
J. w. Lindsey, looking over the traf-
fic and freight situation here.
"The only thing that is holding bus
mess back at the present time, so far
as ] can see," continued Mr.. McWil-
liams, sis the car shortage, which
seems to grow more acute as the cot
ton receipts increase. l do not antici-
pate any relief until after Christmas,
when the cereal crops in the North
and West have been marketed and
more cars can be obtained
Cotton movements are not alone
in causing the scarcity of cars lum-
Der is commencing to move, and many
more cars are required to take care
of this class of trade. More cash is
being turned loose in the state than
ever before, and the farmers are buy
ing clothing, furniture and automo-
biles, while merchants are receiving
constant shipments of goods to re-
plenish their rapidly depleted stocks.
These are some of the primary causes
for the car shortage" said Mr.. Nc
Williams.
With the prosperous conditions t'llt
now exist and if every one continues
to pull together, Mr.. McWilliams
averred, he could not see anythih.s
but a continuation of good times.
81 do not believe that the close Of
the war will affect the conditions in
this section of the country" declared
Mr.. McWilliams, "as this is not a
manufacturing district, and at the in
auguration of peace in Europe, an
enormous export trade in cotton and
lumber will begin and this will mean
a continuation of good times
Mr.. McWilliams said that cotton
shipment to the Pacific coast for the
Asiatic trade was larger than ever
before.

NEAR SETTLEMENT
Long Standing Litigation Over
Use of Little Stream in Lin
coin County May Be Adjust
ed in Short Time.
t.,.el., eo...s,osossc. 70 1o.n,ss JOURNAL

Eel Paso, Tex, May 12.-Another
effort is being made to settle the
rights of everybody now interested in
the water Of the Bonito river in Lin
coin county. The parties to the dis
pute are the Fort stanton marine hos
pital the Hondo irrigation project and
the FL Paso Il Southwestern railroad.
For over five years the parties in in
terest in this water have been endeav-
orng to arrive at an understanding
as to their rights. and. although a
suit was filed by the government in
which some 500 persons and corpora
tons were made defendants, the mat
ter has never been in court ON its
merits. The possibility of an early
settlement seems to be bright at this
time The representatives of the
three contenders for the water have
other meeting is expected TO be held
within short time.
The Bonito is a little stream, but il
is the principal source of water for
the western portion of Lincoln coun-
IT, Some years ago the railroad COM
pany, needing pure water for its en-
gines. closed contracts with great
number Of the individuals along the
river, buying up their rights in the
water. This soon gave the company
a large amount of water, which was
carried into an immense reservoir and
piped to the company's property at
Carrizozo. From this point it was
piped up the line of their railroad to-
Vaughn, at which place, for a time,
the Santa Fe supplied the Southwest
ern. Then came some complaints
which was followed by the filing OF
the suit by the government, and the
ceased selling the water.

zozo has been watching the trend OF
affairs in this dispute, because. when
the matter is finally settled. 1t is the
hope and expectation Of the people
living there that an arrangement may
be made with the railroad company
whereby the town may be supplied
with water works system--an insti-
tuition il needs badly.
After the suit by the government
was filed against the known water
users along the little stream, a mass
Of data was prepared looking to the
settlement which Is hoped now to be
in sight. This data was gone over
recently in Washington by w. A.
Hawkins chief counsel for the South
western, and Or. r. G. Smith, the
chief surgeon of the Fort Stanton mat
rine hospital. No final agreement
was reached at this meeting. although
it is understood the matter was Sc
near an amicable understanding that
in reality only the finish touches
remain to be cared for pr Smith
will attend the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis which is now in session at
Washington, and it Is not likely, it Is
said that another meeting will be
arranged some time during his stay
in the national capital. All parties in
any way Identified with the right to
the water are anxious for an early adj
justment of the matter
