MAKING THIRD SURVEY
 FOR MIDLAND RAIL LWAY
Star City Men Visit New Orleans to
 Urge Building of Extension Thru Star City to Pine Bluff. /

That the Southern Railway, which owns the Queen & Crescent, which in turn owns the Arkansas & Louisiana Midland. is seriously considering the beginning of construction of an ex- tension of the Midland from Hamburg thru Monticello to Pine Bluff, was the news brought to Star City Friday last by a committee of Star City busi- ness men who visited the headquar- ters of the Queen 6 Crescent, at New Orleans, to urge the officers of that road to build the extension thru Star City.
 The Arkansas & Louisiana Midland is the road more familiarly known in this section as the Parker road, and rumors of the extension of the road to Pine Bluff have been in circulation on a dozen or more occasions in the past few years. Twice the probable route of this extension has been sur- veyed, and a third survey is now be- ing made, which, however, is not fol- lowing very closely the lines of the previous surveys.
 w. H. Roberts, receiver of the Gould Southwestern railway, State Senator Arthur J. Johnson and R. Lee Fish are the Star City men who visited New Orleans and discussed the proposition with B. Ford, head of the Queen & Crescent system. They were inform ed that engineers of the system all ready have made considerable pro- gress in the work of surveying the proposed route of the extension, and that the Star City project would be given serious consideration. MT. Ford did not make any specific statement, however, that the extension is actual ly to be built, although he indicated that something tangible along that line is likely at a comparatively early date.
 The surveying corps has already reached a point within 15 miles of Pine Bluff, having established it's camp at Parker's store, seven miles from the city. There are 13 men in the party, which is in charge of Cap tain Frank B. Dabney, formerly a resident of Pine Bluff, and the work of making the survey is expected to be completed within the next fortnight Or

(By DIR. HOWARD s. TAYLOR)
 II ISTORY informs us that on No vember 27, 17S1, the great Lib-
 erty bell at Philadelphia joyous ly rang a welcome to General Washing ton and his wife.
 Washington was returning from Yorktown, where, few weeks pre- viously, the British army under Corn wallis had surrendered, and he was on his way to New York to resume opera tions against the enemy there. :
 On his arrival at Philadelphia the general found that preparations had been made for a great reception. Con- gross adjourned for the occasion, the citizens of the whole vicinity turned out, the newly born Stars and Stripes floated everywhere, everybody cheered. and the old bell rang jubilantly.
 It is altogether likely that Washing ton, as he passed along through the cheering throngs of friends, would nat

urally think about other days at Phila- delphia when conditions were not near- ly so comfortable.
 Twenty-Five miles from the city lay the battlefield of Brandywine, where the Americans had been badly defeated four years before.
 Right at hand was the suburb of Germantown, where they had suffered another defeat.
 And about 20 miles away was Valley Forge, where Washington and his army had passed the dread winter of 1777-3 under conditions that tried mems souls." .A-.

FICTION WRITER ON MAY TO
 BROADWAY

T am on my way to New York, and, gee. how I hate it." said Helen Van Camper, famous writer of theat- 1 rical, race track and Alaskan stories for the Saturday Evening Post, who arrived in Seattle from her home in Seward, says a recent issue of the Post-Intelligencer. Like the bibulous rustic who was on his way to town for his weekly roistering, I can truth fully say that I hate 1t. When I get there they will not give me the things l want to eat. I do not drink any thing but water, and the New York water is fierce, and they compound the felony by putting ice in it. I de- test ice water. And, then, I will not be able to see anybody, because l go to bed at at night and get up at in the morning Think of doing that in New York"
 Helen Van Camper in private life is Mrs F. R. Van Camper, wife of a min- ing man of Seward She is accom- panying her husband on a trip east in the interests of his company and they are guests at the Seattle hotel.
 During the past year she has Been enjoying life in Alaskan mining camps and though she has been obtaining fiction material and much local color has done no writing in that time. She says she is planning to start work in a few days on number of stories on Alaskan themes, and also some tales of stage folks. T usually write two stories at a time" she says, T find this very restful. When I run out of ideas on one story I can jump onto the other"
 Before breaking into writing she owned a stable of racing horses and followed the sport of kings in many parts of the country. She also spent number of years mining in the west. In 1905 she began to write features for the New York Telegraph and her feature. "The Troubles of Two Telephone Girls" embellished with the current slang of Broadway, made hit. Later on she sold several stor- ies to some of the smaller magazines and deteF{pined to go after the big ones. Accordingly she sojourned in the tropics and wrote six stories. None of these being accepted, she wondered what was the matter with the editors.
 In her early story-writing days her ambition was to write Indian stories. She found she could write them with perfect ease, but that nobody would buy them. T finally figured it out that the average reader puts himself in the place of the principals of the story she said. And who would care to be an Indian?"

Washington, Jan. g = President Wilson's peace address to the Senate was an epoch-making occasion. Not since the foundation Of the republic has President Of the United States in public statement declared the right of this nation to be heard in the terms which will settle war in which the country has no active part. Not since the days of Wash ington has a President of the United States laid bare the foreign reia- tions of this government before the Senate in open session.
 Washington gasped with amaze ment when the President announced he would make his address, sat in tense silence while he demanded for

 The United States now finds 1t. self an aggressive. vigorous claim. ant for a place at the council board which shall frame the terms to end the European war. and insure further peace. All talk of the Monroe Doe trine' and the time-honored watch word of No entangling alliances abroad" was hushed with a few we'll chosen words with which the Presi- dent declared his international policy American principles, American policy"
