THE "DOLLARWAY"
AND
THE "WALLER WAY"

The following is from yesterdays
Little Rock Democrat:
Here's the story of a motor truck.
ct doesn't make any difference
whose truck it was. it's what it was
doing.
"The scene was the Little Rock
Pine Bluff pike. Just exactly twenty
miles from Little Rock and in Pulaski
county there is big lumber mill and
camp. That camp is twenty-five miles
from Pine Bluff
But a big motor truck from Pine
Bluff was standing before that mill
just off that pike and was unloading
merchandise to a firm that ought to
be buying in Little Rock.
Here's the secret of why that Pine
Bluff truck was there in Pulaski
county.
From Pine Bluff TO the mill is a
splendid asphaltum concrete highway
For fifteen miles out of Little Rock
there is a splendid graded rock high
| way. But for the seven miles between
| the jefferson county road and the Pu-
laski county read there is no road, or
a road with no bottom. and automo-
biles and trucks that start off into
the last lap are apt TO vanish from
sight as they sink into the 'buckshot'
soil.
! The secretary of the Pine Bluff
chamber OF commerce is authority for
| the statement that Pine Fluff sells
| daily 1000 tons Of merchandise which
| is delivered by motor trucks over the
pixies and highways of Jefferson coun-
ty. Pine Bluff is the great supply
point and QUILTING station for the
Arkansas river bottoms plantations
Jefferson county has ia miles of
good pike, not all of which is as sub
stantial as the Dollarway', but which
provides facile transportation for the
delivery of merchandise by motto:
trucks.
1.-TWO years ago Pulaski county aG-
quired by action of the general as
semly the township through which
this last seven miles of road runs. It
belonged to Saline county 1t was
represented in the legislature that
Pulaski county wanted this strip to
complete the lines of highway be-
tween Little Rock aUl Pine Bluff.
"From the looks of things it's too
bad the cession wasn't made to JEFF
ferson county. 1t has established its
right to be recognized as a progress
sive county To look at the roads
one would think that maybe we'd just
left that spot unimproved to keep
Pine Bluff merchants from delivering
in Little Rock.
"There's no sense in an uncomplet-
ed road between the capital city and
its most valuable neighbor. The peo-
pie of jefferson have done their part
The people of Pulaski have gone fif
teen miles and then left seven uncom-
pleted that almost negative the use

coming year that stretch of impass.

kIBOSH ON ANTI.ALIEN LAWS.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. S.-No anu
alien LEGISLATION is likely to be WIFI
ten into the statutes by action OF the
forty-second California legislature
which assembled today. According
to sentiments expressed by the lead-
ers in bot hhouses the anti-allen laws
of which so much was heard year
O rtwo ago are no longer in favor
with those who will have the shaping
of the legislative program. 1t Is
said that any attempt to introduce
such measures, circumscriblng the
present latitude Of Japanese land
holding rights, will be promptly sup
pressed. The Democrats are in con-

Suit Growing Out Of Acct
dent at Dollarway Gross
ing Is Compromised.

Conway, Jan. 9.-The civil docket
for the winter term Of the Faulkner
circuit court, now in session at the
courthouse, was lightened of ten &C
tiOns by settlements out Of court. The
most important of the cases involved
was the compromise agreement be-
tween Mrs. Annie NJ. Barbee and the
Bankers Trust Co. of Little Rock and
the Iron Mountain railway in which
the original damages of $4,000, ask
cd for the death of the late d. e.
Rarbee, was reduced to $1,000, and
the case taken from the docket. The
compromise verdict was reached be-
fore the case was called.
Other cases withdrawn were either
compromised or failures thru lack Of
prosecution.
A novel point of law is involved in
a case which will be called on Wed
nesday. H. p Merritt Of this city is
defendant in a suit by the Iron Noun
tain thru his refusal to surrender his
ticket to a train auditor on the night
of July a when the company failed
to provide seats for the passengers.
Merritt, with several others, refused
to give up his ticket unless given a
seat. In a local justice court a jury
decided in favor of Mr.. Merritt before
an appeal was taken. The criminal
docket will not be reached until Fri
Gay.
Mr.. Balbee died of injuries suffered
when an auto in which he was riding,
with his son and a companion, was
struck by an Iron Mountain train,
late one Sunday afternoon last sum
mer. The motor of the auto went
dead" leaving the machine on the
track as the train came streakine
along. Mr.. Barbce might have escap-
cd. but he first threw his son from
danger. Just as he did so, the train
struck the machine.

BUENoS AIRES, Sept. 26.-Ar-
gentine still hesitates between war
and neutrality while the proof piles
up that the general strike is being
fostered by German agents.
Information today is that President
Irgoyen will either remain neutral OF
declare war, not taking the middle
course of breaking relations. The
senate must pass q resolution break
ing relations before the question goes
to the president besause of the
changes in the situation.
Powerful impetus is given to the
movement for the break by reports
from reliable sources that Paraguay
and Uruguay are on the verge of
such steps. The strike situation is
unchanged. Chile is reported as de-
termined to remain neutral.
The government has ordered out the
army preparatory to taking over the
railroads and declaring nationwide
martial law is expected momentarily.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 2e.-
American officials believe there is
no immediate chance Of revolution
in Germany, to overthrow the kais-
er. While official advices Indicate a
growing discomfort within the empire,
particularly among the women, the
authorities have concluded that the
Germans are SO used to the kaiser's
domination they will not cause an up
heaval until further casualties open
their eyes to the stupidity Of living
under murderous autocracy.
Advices indicate that the Vatican
is waiting for America to "see the
light" The Pope is convinced the
kaiser cannot be overthrown and he
believes the American people will not
stand for such sacrifices as the allies
have made. The Pope sees no posi-
bility Of a victor's peace. He pre-
diets it will be either . draw or a
world revolution.

SCHOOLS ';iiiiiiiii''i " wiz INST
AND SECOND PRIZES
Park School First and Pinon Grove Second Thou
sands Line the Streets to Witness the Big
Feature Of the Fair

The big parade of vehicles and
marching school people was begun at
10 o'clock this morning according TO
schedule under the supervision Of
Profs. Myers and Rodecker and Mr..
Weightman. 1t was organized on
Second avenue and moved down Fifth
street to Main and then on the east
side of Main north to 18th. Then
the parade moved back along toe
west side of Main to the vicinity of
Tenth, when it was disbanded.
Order of March.
The city fire department with mo-
tor truck took the lead followed close
ly by the school girls and boys march
ing. Then came the decorated autos
representing the churches, followed
by the Schluter Floral Co. float, the
colored folks car. the seniors with
IL autos, Pittman's two decorated
cars, the Sophomores with seven cars,
the Pinion Grove float, Buffers
auto, Soens auto truck conveying an
engine weighing ton and half, the
Teachers car, then a long string of
autos, the Chevrolet decorated car, the
Boy Scouts, the Durango Lumber Co.
representation with logs and lumber,
then another long string of autos, the
w. o. w. with log cabin and sur
roundings, the Park school which
was one Of the most interesting Of
all the representations of the parade
chief of which was a shoe formed
auto and two marching camels. The
rear of the parade was formed by In
Farms on horseback
This parade was one of the success
fully advertised features of the fair
and was a great success. All Duran
go had come out on the streets to
witness the beautifully decorated ve-
hicles and the happy boys, girls and
older people. 1t was q merry tms
for all. Much might be said con-
cerning the many decorated cars and
floats but it is impossible to state
in detail all the features that were
worthy of mention. The decision of
the judges will give an idea of the
general line up Of the decorated cars
and vehicles.
AS was expected, the judges found
that the Park school had carried off
first honors for the schools and that
Pinion Grove school had come in for
second honors. The Park school scor-
ed 285 points and the Pinion Grove
school with Miss Mary King as teach
er 265 points. The schools deserve
much credit for the interest they took
in the parade and it is probable that
the schools will be given more atten-
ton in the coming years when it
comes to decorated autos and repre-
sentations carrying prizes.
The colored folks car. the Mrs. w.
G. White auto, was given first prize
for the best decorated auto and Bob
Buffers car took second money.
There was no farmers float in the
parade.
The decision Of the judges in the
main was what was expected from the
many spectators who made many
comments on the beauty and appropri-
ateness of the floats and decorations.
While there are always differences
of opinion on such matters the de-
cisions generally were approved by
all.
