Cllicot County Property Owners Object to One Big
 Special District.

Following the announcement that a bill is to be introduced in the state legislature for the organization of q special district, to build modern highway along the Iron Mountain railroad, from Grady to the Louisi- ana line. considerable opposition has developed, and the proponents of the new district, virtually all of whom are residents of Lincoln and Desha coun- ty, have lined up against them a number of the most prominent prop crty owners of Chicot county.
 The first announcement received here of the plan for the formation oi the new district was contained in :: letter from Capt. R. R. Rice of Var her to Secretary k. B. Bloom of the chamber of commerce here. Capt. Rice giving the details of the plan as fol- lows:

 Undoubtedly the most remarkable service accomplished by any Aneri- can in linking the tropical Americas with the United States is that per formed by Mr. Andrew w. Preston. In years of endeavor he has built up the largest organization of it's kind in the world. although when he began his life work conditions were much less favorable than they are today. His life reads like romance and re- calls the career of the late James J. Hill of the Great Northern Railway. Mr. Preston is president of the huge commercial, shipping and industrial enterprise known as the United Fruit Company, which operates nine ty steamships under American own ership, the largest American mer- chant fleet, and forms network of lines connecting the United States with the north coast of South Amer ica, all Central America and the West Tp<};oc Vat fft,1 ,aarc oCo xus,op o bcs7 of fifteen he stood on the docks of Boston watching the ships come in from the tropics laden with fruits, spices and coffee.

 Much anta2onism was manifested toward bill which, it is said will be introduced in the legislature provid- ing for highway from Grady south to the Louisiana line. This bill will make impossible the erection of road Improvement districts under the Alex andcr road law along the route pro- posed in the bill and as quite a little expense has been incurred by the chamber of commerce in getting sur veys, and specifications made for road, that body is opposing vigorous ly the passage of this measure.

It has spent nearly S5O0,000 on hospitals and sanitary equipment in the tropics. Last year it expended $355,000 to preserve the health of it's G5,O00 employees and dependents and did not have single quarantible disease on any of it's estates. The biggest fight this firm had was to fight tropical diseases so enough land could be cultivated to feed it's ships with products. It has built hospitals, railroads, cities, docks, employees homes, sugar plants. etc. At seventy MT Preston is hale and hearty and looks forward to many years of active service in de- veloping our commerce with tropical America.

and will do all in their power to de- feat it.'
 Chicot county people have virtual ly completed arrangements for the organization of an improvement dis tlict for the building of a road north and south through that county, while property owners in the southern end Ot Desha county nave progressed nicely in the movement for the build ing of connecting roads in their vl- cinity. It is because of this, accord ing to reports reaching here, that 0p- position has developed to the pro. posed Thane measure. the belief being held that if the Thane measure is adopted, the work of the Chicot and McGehee people will go for naught and all the time, money and labor al ready expended will be wasted.
 Efforts are already being made, it is understood here, to bring the fac tions together on some common ground, to the end that the largest mileage of good roads may be built at the earliest possible moment. A grat- flying feature of the present situation is the fact that among the men who are supporting the Thare measure are men who have hitherto been classed as steadfastly opposed to the building of good roads in territory in which they are property owners, this being taken to indicate that there will likely be nc great difficulty in reaching an agreement as to method to be adopted for the completion at an carly date of the DrOnOSad work which will mean the building of a road from Grady to the Louisiana line, although perhaps not exactly along the lines and in the manner set forth in the Thane bill.
