.lAsAEi NI5QUAfIN
Looks LIKE Columbus People
tl'Kfe' Not Going to Have
jsA Railroad After All

Columbia .HfOnle hays bad 10 many
promises Of new railroads and every
time disappointed that they are be
gihAtns' fo"be ShspieiOuS about the
sincerity Of all railroad promoters. A
few weeks ago Columbus was in ikh
spirits over the deal made with the
20. x. g. NJ, railroad for IN extension
Of that road from. PiCher to the'cOun-
'ty. seat. Now the proposed extension
appears. to, be blocked because COlum-
bus cannot provide the right Of way
required by the railroad company. In
a recent issue, The Daily Advocate
of Columbus, has the following to 8 y
). about the deal: ....". 80, '..'.'''A q
"Does the o.. K. &, NJ. really want
i; to- build into Columbus? .,s..n
"True their $4,000 bond is on de-
post, but that is only payable II the
road is not built within ''five months
after delivery of the right-Of-wpy
contracts."'.. O., .....-....~.,. -. d.
"And the securing Of the right Of
way is contingent wholly upon the
ability Of the city Of Columbus to
furnish q. route. on which the grade
shall not exceed six-tenths of one. per
cent. a.. >,Ei
There's the rub! r
10" 1.-THE o. K. & NJ. insists that they
must be furnished this particular
style and descriptions of grade, and
that nothing else will do-no sub
stitute "just as good"
"This means q road so level that
there is only permitted, at any point
rise of Q inches in 100 feet! The
eye could, not detect that slight q
grade, and very few steam roads have
such q horizontal tract as this, to
say nothing of mere motor car line.
at is this arbitrary and unreasOn-
able requirement which has already
| led q number of our citizens to ques-
ton the. sincerity of the o. X. 4 n.
and the people financing their pro-
ject. The corps of engineers, direct
ed by Calvin Cooper, have alreat
surveyed one route, and reported
several farms, instead of following
q comparatively straight line south
ward. .... -- .,
mot only one farmer, but several
have announced that if the proposed
line is to cross their farms, and
wind around like a snake tract
thereon, they will make it cost" just
as much are they can. True, their
land could be condemned, neverthe-
less, but greater damages would be
awarded in each case than would
otherwise be done if the line kept p
straight course.
zone member of the Columbus
Chamber of Commerce said today:
We believe it would cost from $16,-
600 to $4,000 to secure the entire
right-of-way; if we have to stick to
the route necessary, on the six
tenths of one per cent grade. The
o. K. & M. knows that we cannot
afford this. Still there is q lot Of
opposition to breaking away just yet,
and taking up with some other COM
pany. Another meeting is to be held
probably next Monday night, at which
time perhaps, the difficulties may be
partially adjusted ~ 20
'"In the meantime, nothing has been
done toward. making 3 asuvey Of
the proposed alternative route, a
mile west of the route already sur
veyed."

Who Will Pay For The
Big Fire at Atlanta?

The insurance companies are not
going to pay the three or more mil
lion dollars representing the fire loss
in the big Atlanta eonflagration,
which happened Monday of this week.
Three million dollars worth of prop
erty was wiped out and not cents
worth Of the loss was covered by in
suranee. Millions of dollars will be
paid back to the owners of the pro-
perty by insurance companies, but
this IS good time to emphasize the
fact, that the insurance companies
do not furnish the money to pay the
losses and that no loss is Covered
" insurance.
The loss is paid by the public and
the burden is distributed over the
shoulders of many people by the IN
surance companies. If it we're not for
insurance the people of Atlanta would
be crushed by the burden concentrate
ed upon them alone But when three
million dollars worth of property
the fruit of human energy-is wiped
out of existence three million dol
lars in gold might as we'll be buried
in the middle Of the Atlantic.

mense audience. The program was well
received and appreciated by the aud

For tax, number of votes were
cast for u mills, but the tax adopted
was nine mills, six mills for school
purposes and three mills for building
tax.
The interest shown in the election
proves that the people of Newark are
strongly in favor of a good school.
1t is a recognized fact that Newark
already has one of the best schools in
North Arkansas, and since the people
have been liberal enough to provide
additional revenue for the school, the
board should add another grade and
place the school on basis equal to
any in the State.
A good school is the best asset that
any community can have and the citi-
zens and the school board can do no
greater work for Newark than to
work together for a broader, better
and greater efficiency in the school.
