NEW JAPANESE TRANSLATION
 OF BIBLE COMPLETED

TOXIC, Nov. 13-Great interest has been created here by the amour cement that the new Japanese, trans lation of the bible, which has been in progress for seven years in the hands of a committee of eight learned Jap anese Christian Scholars repre-. sentlng four sects of protestant Christ ianity, has been finished and that it will shortly be sent to press. The translation of the work was underta. ken by the American Bible Society and was started by a specially formed committee in May 1910, and finished in February last. Since then the translation has been undergoing com. parison with existing ones.
 The new translation is said to be written in more colloquial Japanese than the existing version.

AMERICAN MEAT TRUST BEING
 PRObEO
By the Associated pressl

WELLINGTON. New Zealand, Nov. 13-The operation of the American packing companies represented in New Zealand are at last under off cial investigation of the Dominion House of Representatives which is charged with inquiry into the actiyi- i ties of the so-called American Meat Trust" has held it's first session.
 The investigation is the outcome of months of outcry and agitation in the dominion by farmers organizations, | politicians and newspapers. Perhaps the most determined and energetic as- | silant of the American Meat Trust, has been w. D. Lysnar, Ex-Mayor of Osborne, and prominently identified with New Zealand refrigerating con cern.
 The general charge against the Am l erican packers is that it is surrepti. tiously taking advantage of the abnor- ! manl conditions due to war to gain control of the New Zealand trade for after-the-war purposes. and that it is allied with the shipping ring" which manipulates meat freights.
 The committee inquiry intends first to confer with department officials and then to take the evidence of re- presentatives of refrigerating plants, and other concerns. Just before the first meeting of the committee, of which he is a member, the Prime min ister, William F. Massey, said of the investigation:
 We are going to inquire into the position to the very bottom. It may be necessary to continue the inyesti- gation after this session of Parlia- ment in which case the committee will be constituted a royal commission" :"

10 MODERNIzE
 MANY COMMUNITIES
BILL INTRODUCED BY SENATOR DUTY WILL PERMIT CORPORA TONS TO OPERATE SEWER
 SYSTEMS LIGHT PLANTS.

A bill has been introduced in the General Assembly by Senator John k. Duty which will give to public utility corporations the right to operate sewer system in cities and towns in Arkansas. This bill will cause many cities and towns which now are with out modern improvements because of the haggling between residents, to have sewerage systems.
 The bill permits the company to operate such systems in the same manner as water, light and power companies are now operated. The bill is as follows:
 Section L That for the purpose of providing a sewerage system for the use of residents and inhabitants of any city or incorporated town, the mayor and council may contract with any person, firm or corporation the right to construct, build, operate and main tain a system os weres and may grant to such persons, firms or corporations for a time which may be agreed upon the exclusive privilege and franchise of using the streets and alleys of such city or incorporated town for such purposes and may authorize such persons, firms, CT corporations to assign such contract privelege or franchise, and transfers such sewer age system to any other person, firm or corporation having authority to conduct any such business in the city or incorporated town with full power and authority to the assignee or the transferee to enjoy and use the same in like manner and to use the extent as the assigner could have done.
 Section 2. The mayor and council may provide and establish in said contract the rates to be charged for such service by any person, firm or corporation to the residents and in habitants of the city or incorporated town for using said sewerage system.
 Section 3. This act being neces. sary for the preservation of the pub lie peace, health and safety an emer- gency is hereby declared and this Act shall take effect and be in force from and after it's passage"

LOUIS ALTHEIMER
 WAS 4 PROPHET
MERCHANT PREDICTED SIXTEEN YEARS AGO THAT HEIGHTS
 HAD A GREAT FUTURE.

Louis Altheimer, a Little Rock mer- chant, recalls the fact that 16 years ago he predicted Pulaski Heights would become the principal residen- tial section of Little Rock He visited the Heigths at that time, riding over it on horseback. He relates the story of finding a farmer who offered to let him have his farm if he would pay off a $500 mortgage and give him $200 and a horse. MT. Altheimer contin- ues:
 T accepted the offer and closed the deal the same afternoon. I advised many friends to buy lands on the Heights. They ridiculed me and my purchase. I told them this was the age of electricity, told them that Pu- laski Heights was needed for Greater Little Rock to expand. I told them it might be five, but it would not be ten years before there would be bridges from hill to hill somewhere over the railroad tracks, and that street car line would develop that section. But they could not see it.
 Behold Pulaski Heights in 1917. It is the Ninth ward of the city. It has a street car line, palatial homes, stores, paved streets. Forest Park is located there. It has Little Rock Col lege, the Catholic school on the style of Notre Dame University; it has a convent and public schools, fire sta tion, water works, telephones, electric lights, and a sewer system. What was the farm I bought years ago is now Altheimer's Addition, and it is covered with pretty homes. With all of this. Pulaski Heights is still in it's infancy. It. with Greater Little Rock, predict will have a population of 25000O by 1950."
