PUTTING IHE TOP
 ON NENA STREET
After Delays Long and Nexatious. Contractor Monroe Applying . Asphalt-Proeess Requires
 About Days Co Block.

At last, after long and yexatious delays. Contractor c. W. Monroe be- gan Saturday morning the application of asphalt to the layer of crushed rock on the block between Maple avenue and Port Arthur on Mena street.
 ii is estimated 1t will require three davs to finish each block, two of which have been ready for the treat ment for nearly two weeks.
 The method of treatment consists of pouring the hot asphalt over ana into the crushed rock at the rate or IA gallons to the square yard. lm- nediately following light coating or fine crushed rock is shoveled on, ana the roller applied, gradually packing .aii to an even surface. When the block has been gone over by thls pro- cess, another application of the as- phalt, n gallon to the square yard, IS given, this being covered with sand and then all given the final rolling.
 It is expected that next week will see the completion of the paving on the blocks between Jansen and Port Arthur avenue A force started Monday in preparing the first block below Janssen for the final dressing.
 Recent delay was occasioned by the necessity of getting a roller from Sevier country. Contractor Monroe arranged for 1t, and man was sent after it, ten miles out from DeQueen, where 1t had been left some six months before, and where 1t had been in several overflows. After consider able effort on the part of others. the machine was brought two miles. Then Monroe took things in hand, found 1t necessary to tear the machine down, clean it of sand and dirt, then, after three days hard work, drove it to DeCueen and got it loaded on car for Mena. It arrived Friday, and was nnIoaded before night.
 There was much general rejoicing over the start on this work, and only circus, or perhaps rodeo, could have attracted bigger and more in terested crowd than that which watched the various processes of street paving during Saturday morn- ing.

 THE FIRST GREAT wARsRIP
Royal Sovereign. l637, Marked Ad-
 vance in Shipbuilding.

The first real advance in securing stability and great carrying power in ship was made by British archi- tect, Phineas Pett, who built the Sow ereign of the Seas. to carry one hum dred guns, in l637.
 After launching he found that her enormous upper works, in which he had followed the fashion and, ineiden- tally, the shipping defect of his peri cd, made her somewhat unstable. So he took her back, boldly swept away all the cumbrous upper fittings, in- creased her length, gave her two decks instead of the original three, and refoated her as the Royal Sov- ereign.
 Under this latter title she remained for sixty years the finest, staunchest. and most easily handled vessel in the British navy, far in advance of any other ship of her kind in the world Whitehall Gazette.

RAILWAYS ARE LOSING OUT.
Cheaper and Speedier Motor Trucks
 Are Reducing Their Utility.

The bitter complaints of the rail- roads against the motor car become plain when it is learned that motors on short hauls carried an estimated 4,932 million persons as compared with the 1,234, ,222, ,S89 revenue pas sengers of the railroads; while trucks hauled 1,200 million tons of freight. Or nearly half the amount carried by the rail lines, which totaled 2,504 mil lion tons.
 If the railroads were electrified and their rates accordingly made cheaper they could give motors better compe- tition. The truth is that the railroads are becoming cumbersome in this fast age. It will take more than toll gates to overcome such competition.

Owing to leaking flues, the light
plant closed down last Friday and
an attempt was made to repair the
boiler. The work was completed and
about seven O'Clock the steam gauge
showed sufficient pressure to start
the wheels moving. The lights were
turned on and had been running a.
bout thirty minutes when another
tiue blew out with a bang. AS a
result We were without lights until
Monday evening. The old boiler was
put back in shape again but i'll the
meantime one of the generators was
moved over and connected up with
the new 25 II. p. gas engine and
this has been carrying the load since
that time. At certain times of the
day the load is too heavy for this
small engine and the lights have
been a little dim but when carrying
the load intended for it, the engine
has shown up in fine shape. The
Is Fl. P. engine is being lined up
now and will doubtless be running
within a day or two One of the new
generators arrived yesterday and will
soon be installed.
