BEECH Street
Will Be PAVED
FROM END TO END
Council Will Be Asked Mon
day Night to Take First
Preliminary Steps.

Preliminary arrangements have
been completed for the formation OF
an Improvement district for the paw
ing of Beech street, from Barraque
street to Fifteenth avenue, and the
matter will be brought before the city
council Monday night, at it's regular
session, for formal action.
Mayor Simon Bloom has been de-
voting considerable time an datten-
ton to this proposition for some
months past, primarily because OF the
fact that the paving Of this important
thoroughfare will be matter OF more
than the usual Importance to the city.
Not only will the paving OF Beech
street open new main thorough
fare running north and south between
the limits Of the city, but it will bring
about, necessarily, considerable i'm
provement in the topography OF the
section west and south of Athletic
field, where the drainage canal now
causes much inconvenience and an
noyance, at virtually all periods OF
the year, and especially during high
water stages in the river.
While the material to be used will
not be selected until the organization
of the district is perfected and conf
missioners have been named to do the
work, the belief is held by the prop
erty owners that an asphalt street,
like those now so successful and pop
ular in Stuttgart an dother cities and
towns of the state, will be selected, be-
cause of the comparatively low cost
and fine wearing properties, fully

and is generally liked by
all with whom he has become
acquainted. Only two days ago, men,
ters of the police force presented Mr..
Graves with handsome gold badge
as token of their friendship.
simultaneously with the announces
ment of Mr.. Graves resignation,
Chief Stewart announced the appoln:-
ment as assistant chief of Victor FL.
Boyd, who has been on duty at the
union station. Mr.. Boyd has fins
record as an officer, and it is pre-
dicted he will make an excellent as
sistant chief.
With the graduation OF Chief
Graves from the ranks of the city po-
lice to more lucrative and generally
moro satisfactory railroad police ser
vice, the sixth man to enter police
work under Chief Stewart has thus
been recognized and employed by the
railroads entering Pine Bluff. These
are Ed Cheek, now assistant chic
special agent of the Iron Mountain

Cotton Belt; C. p. Roebuck, specia
agent of the Gotton Belt; j. Henri!

FILE ESTIMATE
FOR GOOD ROAD
THROUGH M'GEHEt
Including Bri d &c Over
Bayou Bartholomew, Turn
pike Will Cost $4,000.

Of more than ordinary interest to To-
cal business men and good roads adj
vocates generally, is the following
from the Desha County News, show
ing the progress already achieved on
one proposed modern turnpike in De-
sha county:
w. M. McCloy, secretary of the Pub,
lie Service bureau, has received and
on Monday last filed with the county
clerk the blue print of the profile and
estimate of cost of pike to run from
a point on the Drew county line west
of McGehee, through McGehee and on
to Macarthur, a distance of ten and
one-half miles, at an estimated cost of
$4,000. Bayou Bartholomew will be
SPAWNED by a steel bridge 400 feet
long, the bridge will have five spans,
four of which will be 60 feet and one
100 feet in length.
This is the first step toward con-
structing this highway, but the mat
ter will be pushed to completion as
fast as legal requirements will per-
init. When completed this pike will
be of great value to the communities
through which it will pass.
1t is the purpose of the Public Ser
vice bureau to take up the matter OF
pike running from the Chicot coun-
ty line northwest through McGehee
Tillar, Winchester, Walnut Lake, Du-
mas and intersect the pike at Grady
as soon as our Chicot friends com
plete their organization for then
pike and secure the blue print.
This will be continuation of the
pike now being planned through Chi,
cot county and when completed viii
give continuous pike to Pine Bluff

Learn to Live On a Farm.

Some one has said that the farmers
family faces two problems-how to
make a living on a fran, and how to
live on farm. Although many peo-
pie would answer unhesitatingly that
every one knows how to live on a
farm. while how TO make a living is
very real problem, there is, after
all, some doubt as to which is the
greater problem.
Successful living in any place de-
ponds primarily upon the spiritual
and mental attitude. One must be
in sympathy with the natural envi-
ronment in which he finds himself.
The family on the farm must have a
feeling or permanency. They must
believe that il is the best place for a
home, the place where the children
have the best opportunity to develop
strong bodies, sound minds, and the
characteristics that make for efticien-
cy. They must be open-minded and
try to learn whatever they can that
will improve farm conditions. They
must believe in wholesome recrea-
ton for themselves and every mem
Der of their household. They must
realize that all the really worth while
things of the city, such as household
conveniences and labor saving de-
vices. opportunities for education,
for the enjoyment of music, art or
literature and the companionship OF
others, are within their reach at some
times and in some forms. When they
are convinced of these things and
have learned ito love the wind and

birds, and all the rest. the dawn. the

Work and Booze.

Some questions were recently put
to the large steel and iron concerns
of Ohio. West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, and Illinois to determine
their attitude toward booze. Of the
40 corporations canvassed, 113 re-
piled. These are some of the COM
nents:
The efficiency of man is reduced
in exact proportion to the amount of
alchol he drinks. The total abstainer
ranks above the moderate drhker in
reliability and efficiency in all classes
of work nearly as much as the mod
crate drinker does above the heavy,
regular drinker.-The Foilansbee
Furnace Company, Follonsbee, W.
Va.
We do not allow any liquor on the
premises, discharge Immediately any
man under the influence, preach
, abstinence through foreman and bull
letin-board literature, and we are
succeeding famously. Our men also
see the good of it.-Interstate Steel
and Iron Company, East Chicago.
When it becomes necessary to re-
duce the force, regular drinkers are
the first ones let go.-Lockhart Iron
and Steel Company, Pennsylvania.
With the laborer and the big
business corporation finding that
work and booze never make good
team mates, It seems likely that the
booze interests may have to go TO
work some day.-Colliers.

CONNECTIONS SOON.

Barbourville. KY, June 4.-The
advent of the midsummer season
finds an unusually large amount of
development work under way in
Kentucky's petroleum fields. There
has been a rush of the drill in all the
fields. the only delay being q scarcity
of drillers, tool dressers and machin-
rs. No former year has witnessed so
great a leasing campaign as has been
shown this summer. especially in the
shallow sand fields. where good-sized
fortunes have been made this sum-
mer.
The weeks operations were featur-
ed by one strike of unusually large
capacity in the Crow Creek district,

area, yielded a genuine gusher. the

productive class. being shown in adj
dition to the 3O0-barrel strike. One
completion in the north end OF the
field started out at 100 barrels. Three
new wells made twenty-five barrels
each.
Due to a scarcity of drilling ma
terial progress in advance work has
been somewhat slow. II is next TO
impossible to get material moved TO
locations much in advance of the ac-
tive area because of scarcity of teams.
From the Crow Greek district north
ward twelve miles to Clay City, Pow
ell county. everything is under lease,
but few wells are being started. Sew
eral tests are drilling around Clay
City, and in the intervening area a
few scattered rigs are at work. One
completion in Powell county showed
a yield of twenty barrels at 500 feet,
this being the only strike reported
from the Powell county end of the
field. Pipe line connection will be
