CHAMPION FISHERMAN

Mrs s. C. Knight is the champion fisherman of the community, having broken the local record last Saturday when she caught four fine bass at two throws. Mr. and Mrs. Knight, accompanied by ". B. Right of Little Rock, drove to Big Creek with the avowed intention of catching a mess of fish. The first throw made was by Mrs. Knight who brought in two fine bass. On making the second throw she brought two more fine ones, which breaks the local record, so far as We have been able to learn.
 The others did well, but were not so successful as Mrs. Knight. They were at the creek less than an hour and brought in 12 fish.

CORNING SUFFERS
 DISASTROUST FIRE
Big Lumber Plant, Church and Two Residences Destroy
 ed Yesterday

Corning, April 13.-Fire of unknown origin at 4 o'clock this morning destroyed the J. W. Black Lumber Company's plant, the Christian church and two residences, entailing a loss estimated at S40,000. Ins9Tance on the property to- = sd about $1s,00O.
 RThe loss on the lumber ctmpany's plant was estimat- ed at $25,000, with $15,00O insurllce.
 Thet Christian church was valued at S2,000. It was not insured.
 The residence of Mrs. w. R. Brown, valued at S1, 300, was insured for $500.
 J. M. Hawks residence, valued at $3,000, was insured for $1,5Oo.
 The blaze started in the lumber company's plant and spread quickly over the yard. It was discovered by man who lived near by. He gave the alarm, and several hun dred volunteer firemen aided in combating the flames. Lack of water facilities, however, made it impossible to extin- guish the blaze.
 After consuming the lum- Der plant, the fire spread to the Christian church, a frame structure, then gsaped to the two residences. Some of the household effects in the cot tages were saved. Several sheds, barns and other out- houses were slightly damaged.

ROAD COMMISSIONERS
 OF NORTH ARK. HIGH
 WAYM MAKE STATEMENT

have paid represent paymsxt Tn full on this district. If we had gone ahead and let con- tract, you would have had much more taxes every year for the next twenty years.
 The money we have spent will be worth a great deal to the district in case the road is ever built, as we have the books already made, the maps of the surveyors etc.
 AS there has been much talk about the future of this road, we will say that this dis trict is still a legal district. We are going to let the peo- pie say whether they want this road built or not. If the people who pay the taxes want this road built on q cost not to exceed $2,500 or S3,- coo per mile we will do our best.
 But our idea as to the kind of road to build Is simnlv to grade the road, place gravel on it, and make the smaller culyerts and bridges out of concrete. We think that 2 road of this type can be built for something like $2,000.00 $2,500.00 per mile. We can build a road that we would all feel proud of for this amount.
 If you taxpayrs want a road of this type built, kindly let us know by petition or otherwise showing that a ma- iority of the landowners favor the expenditures, then we are ready to get busy. If the tax payers do not want this road built, we can assure you that the project will not be revived by us.
 In conclusion, will say that we have neglected our own individual business in this mat ter, and have done just what we thought was best, and hope that no one will feel of tended by our actions.

 North Arkansas Highway Im- provement District Number One of Independence County desire to make the following statement.
 This is the proposed high way leading from the town of Batesville, through Moorefiled Sulphur Rock, Magness, New ark on down through the bot tom to the Jackson County line below Elmo.
 AS there has been more or less talk concerning this road district for the past few weeks we want to advise the tax payers the real status of the district.
 The amendment that was en- acted by the last legislature was to cure a defect in the bill, so that the taxes that have just been paid could be collected legally. This tax was to defray the expenses of the district up to the present time.
 Two years ago when this project was put on foot, the people as a rule thought we needed the road. We went ahead to the very best of our knowledge. The law was such that in order to secure State and Federal aid, we had to follow the steps laid down by The State Highway Depart ment. We thought this aid was what we really needed, so we followed exactly the steps laid down by the depart ment. The first thing of im- portance we did, was to en- ploy an engineer. The State Highway Department furnish ed us with a form of contract with the engineer that we had to use. This was the only form that the department would approve. The fees to be paid the engineer was , per cent of the estimate cost of the construction of the road. In this contract it was speci- fled that "If for any reason the construction contract is not let within ninety days from the time the engineers file their final plans and es- innate, the engineers are to receive forty per cent of their pay"
 This forty per cent of their five per cent is two per cent of their estimate of the cost. The engineer made the esti- mate of the road in the neigh borhood of $340,000.00. Two per cent of this amount is $6,- 800.00. Approximately this amount is what we had to sev- tie with them for. We made notes for this amount drawing 6 per cent interest from date. This note has been drawing interest over IS months. In addition to this expenditures, we paid the attorney $500.00, paid for having books made around $700.00, and over $100.00 for books, and not over $500.00 to all five of the commissioners. The above amount with interest added represent what we have cost the district.
 When the engineers submit ted their estimate, we as com missioners baked in body, and refused to advertise for bids for construction under this estimate. The taxes you
