 Visitors who have come from Heav- ener to Mena lately have reported there is considerable talk in that city regarding the removal of the railroad division. The same rumors have it Mena is to be the site selected The talk has created no little interest in Mena, but so far as known there is no official act on the part of the railroad company to support such rumors. There is a possibility, so railroad workers say, that changes being made in the routing of local freight runs. may result in Mena being selected as terminal for ore or more, but even on this one mans guess is as good as another.

SENATE DEBATES
TAKING VACATION
FOR MONTHS Time
Would Let House Catch
Up, But Delay Final
Adjournment.

Whether the senate will take a
vacation of a month to allow house
committees to catch up on legis-
lation. or whether IL will put more
pressure on the committees TO nm
ish the more important bills and
adjourn by the midsummer has
caused considerable discussion
among members of the upper branch
OF congress during the last few
days.

extra session to within a few Gays
of the regular session, which be-
gins early in December.
Tariff Bill Paramont.
1t Is regarded as improbable that
the permanent tariff bill can be
made ready for the senate's consid-
Grafton before the latter part OF
July. and that measure is conceded
to be the paramount issue for the
present session. Inasmuch as the
democrats are preparing for a Bit
ter fight against tariff legislation,
the members of the senate are re-
luctant to enter the fight without
some relaxation from the labors of
the three months since this session
began.
The packers control bill is ex-
pected to be passed this week. Then
there will be the soldier relief, the
maternity and infancy. government
reorganization measures, such a
bills for establishment of depart
ments of welfare and public works.
reclassification of government en-
ployes and a host OF less important
measures. A bill authorizing mer-
ger of the street car lines of Wash
ington will be acted upon within
the next week or two, whether
the senate recesses or adjourns.
The senate district committee
VIII decide on Wednesday whether
or not to report favorably the Ball
amendment prolonging the life OF
the rent commission. which under
the law expires in October.
The senate is expected to pass
the bill introduced late Friday by
senator Capper, of Kansas, chair
man OF the subcommittee on educa-
tlon' providing for a model school
system, with compulsory attend
ance between the ages OF and I6
years and regulating child labor
ana teacher pay. The District day
isht saving law. regulation of
pawnorokers. restriction of the sale
OF nrearms. hotel rate regulation
and curb OF check fraud are among
measures to be acted upon.
But for the tariff bill il is be-
lieved the senate would finish It's
work in time to adjourn about the
latter part of August, the army ap-
preparation bill. which passed last
ednesday. being the last of the
big supply bills.
senators are in conference and
an agreement is expected TO be
