These have been taken of various portions of the country served by its lines During the coming sea son the publicty agent of the Missouri Pacific will be in Hot Springs and will take one OF two reels of this city alone for such display purposes.
 An arrangement that has been en- tered Into between these roads and the Business Mems League provides that the itemi2ed expenditures for advertising this resort be sent to the League as the cOntrobutiOn of the railroad to it's york l nthis way we will be kept in touch with the terri tory in which the advertising is placed, the amount thus expended and be in position to better CO., -oper- ate with the railroads as well as to secure their increased interest in the exploitation of the city
 1t was with some misgivings, be- cause of the strenuous situation among the railroads, that your com mittee took up with the Missouri Pa cific the matter of train service We are grateful to be able to report that the disposition of the officials of that road is to do all that it is possible 10 do for Hot Springs The name Hot Springs Special will continue to be attached to their train to this re- sort, which will give us the benefit of such advertising Sleeping cars sufficient for the needs of the travel will be given to the city both from St. Louis and New Orleans. While no assurance could be obtained that number seventeen would be restored. yet by this arrangement of ample sleeping car space on Number five. which leaves St. Louis now in two sections, We have the same service as would be obtained by this train What is more important than this. the Missouri Pacific officials have agreed to a through parlor ear or par Tor and cafe car combined from St Louis to Hot Springs and return on the day trains Effort will be made to have this service patronizcd in or der to save sleeping car space which is in such demand because of the gov ernments requistioning SO many sleeping cars. IL gives to the city for the first time in its history a through car service on the day trains This car will be put on in the immediate future
 The Missouri Pacific has also agreed to send to the city one of its engineering force for the purpose ot taking up the matter of bcautitying the gateway to the city. lt is also probable that with him the Civic Blu reau of the League may be able to work out comprehensive plan for civic Improvements to which all may work continuously.

tackler and a tenterer.
