sANIrARluM PROGRESS.

Legislative enactments such as will encourage the bringing of large sums for investment into this state have been concluded by the legislature, the Inspiration for these in the most part being the probability of securing for Hot Springs the much discussed ten million dollar sanitarium

 II is not up to today to announce definitely that Hot Springs will get 1is ten million dollar investment, nor n tomorrow bring that assurance
 ' Ls is certain that rapid strides are being made, and that the situation is most encouraging
 Hot Springs is the logical place in all the world for such an institution, and with the wealth of the world cen. tered in our country. this institution will bs built within the coming few years.
