COUNCIL CONVENES
LITTLE BUSINESS
At a regular meeting of th
council Monday evening, no busi
ness of importance was transact
^ ed except the approval of th'
previous minutes and the allow
ance^pf regular accounts.
INSPECT BRANCH
OF ROCK ISLAND
0 Sunday James Harris, divisioi
1 passenger agent for the Rod
Island, H. L. Dennis, chief clerl
of Geo. H. Lee and G. D. How
ard, Little Rock agent for th<
system, visited Newport bring
£tg with them a reporter for on<
of the Little Rock papers.
The pencil-pusher contributes
t®the columns of his paper £
glowing account of the resources
of the branch from Brinkley t<
Jacksonport, which he says an
not known to Little Rock anc
present untold possibilities for
the wholesale houses of that city.
Of Newport he says:
“This town is the scene ol
great activity at this time. Many
L new business enterprises an
Jk springing up here, and recently
Wa beginning has been made or
* • •
the paving of the streets. The
refuse shells from the button fac
tory which was situated on the
outskirts of the town are being
used for this purpose and in a
short time Newport will be able
to boast of the only shell streets
in the state.”
He might have added that
Newport has two wholesale gro
cery houses, which would be a
credit to Little Rock, that they
are not only handling the trade
of this territory, but have sales
men on the main line of the Rock
Island, who probably make Little
Rock headquarters, and that the
warm competition of our capi
tal and business men, is doubt
less responsible for the little the
Little Rock wholesalers know of
our resources and country.
ELECTRIC LINE
FOR TWO CITIES
Giving Capital and Valley of
Vapors Electric Railway Con
nection Seems Certainty.
Little Rock, March 13.—It is
almost a certainty now that the
proposed interurban electric line
from Little Rock to Hot Springs
by way of Benton will be built.

'ters, has been here for several
j days working up an interest in
[ the project and has secured the
, co-operation and subscriptions of
| many of the city’s most influen
tial business men.
Five of his associates—A. S.
Blodgett, P. M. Pierce, H. Mur
( dock, M. D. Welch and B. E.
/Bowman—will arrive today from
J Springfield, Mo. A meeting of
" the stockholders will be held at
’ {4 p. m. at the board of trade for
. ' the purpose of electing the board
j of directors, who have already
. been decided upon. They are
0among the most progressive
business men of Little Rock and
other interested points.
It is estimated that the pro
posed line will serve 100,000 more
.! population than it has been dem
r onstrated is adequate to make
j similar lines pay elsewhere, and
. that the opportunities for devel
, opment here are greater than in
, many places where interurban
lines have been successful.

COMPANIES TO RETIRE
RELIEF BILL DEFEATED.
Companies Decide to Refuse to
Insure From Outside State—
Milan Bill Put to Rest
By Senate.
The old line fire insurance com
panies h^ve decided at a meeting
in New York to withdraw from
Arkansas when Logan enactment
becomes effective, March 23.
The action went further
than this. They will write
no insurance on Arkansas prop
erty at points outside the state,
or reinsure any company which
may continue to do business in
the state. This would remove
the hope which large property
owners have entertained that
they could go outside the state
and secure all the insurance theyj
desired.
Simultaneous with this action
is the defeat in the senate by a
vote of 25 to 6 of the Milan bill
to allow old line insurance com
panies to continue to do business
in this state. Senator Cotham
reminded Hot Springs of her ma
jorities for Davis and declared
that they must take their medi
cine undiluted.
