PROGRESS OF WORK
ON WHITE RIVER LINE.
Forsythe, Mo., March 17.—Ground
was broken Thursday by the Keneflck
Hammond construction company for
the White river line tunnel at the
head of Turkey creek on the Taney
county line at which point a big camp
has been established. Several stocks
of general merchandise are being
opened up in roughly constructed
buildings, while cheap board struct
ures are being erected for saloons,
stores and a bank. Taney is the only
county between Baxter county, Ark.,
and Lawrence county, Mo., where
liquor can be sold, and as the big tun
nels and most of the heavy construc
tion and bridge work will be either
close to the south and west edge or
along Turkey and Roark creeks and
at White river in Taney county, it is
expected that if the county court will
grant licenses the saloon feature will
be strongly in evidence.
Jess Tolerton of Forsythe has been
awarded the contract for construction
of a telephone line connecting the
various tunnel camps with the Bell
system at Ozark. John Wade will
likely accept a contract to furnish fuel
for the various steam plants operat
ing the tram roads, electric dynamos
and compressed air drills at the three
big tunnels. Some idea of the ex
pense of constructing these tunnels
can be inferred from the fact that
seventy-five cords of wood will be re
quired per day to keep up steam in
the various nower Dlants.
SENATE DEFEATS KEEL BILL.
Little Rock, Mar. 18.—The senate
yesterday, by a vote of 13 to 9, tabled
the Keel anti-trust bill, which is a fac
simile of the King bill, passed by the
senate and pending in the house.
The senate also indefinitely post
poned the Toney anti-spotting bill.
A lively discussion occurred in the
senate over the bill of Mr. Campbell of
Pulaski for redigesting the statutes of
Arkansas and providing for the ap
pointment of a digester by the su
preme court. The lines were drawn
sharply on the issue of the governor’s
appointing power, but the advocates
of the bill were in the majority and
they succeeded in making the bill a
special order for today.
The house took up Senator Price’s
world’s fair appropriation bill and re
duced the proposed appropriation
from $77,123.19 to $50,000. As amend
ed the bill was made a special order
for Friday.
The house indefinitely postponed
Senator Killough’s bill for the pro
tection of fish.
Senator Vaughter’s bill to legalize
primary elections and Senator Cov
ington’s bill to increase the state mine
inspector’s salary to $2,000 per an
num were defeated in the house.

SECURES BACKING.
New York, March 10.—E. J. Short,
from Tulsa, I. T., came to New York a
little over five weeks ago, carrying a
small dress suit case in which there
were a few bundles of papers and
maps. Since then Mr. Short has suc
ceeded in financiering the Arkansas.
Missouri & Kansas railroad, of which
he is vice-president, for #13,000,000.
1 As an example for Eastern enter
, prise and financial diplomacy this if
unequalled. When the man from In
dian Territory landed here he didn’t
know a business man in this city. Hf
had in his pocket papers giving hinc
the right to use his own discretion ir
financiering the road, and to sign thf
* necessary documents for the company
k He also had the personal card o:
William F. Ellis, of the Interstatf
1 Trust Company, whom he had oncf
* met casually in the West.
* Short looked up Mr. Ellis, anc
> through him gained the necessary
backing. Three local trust companiei
put up #6,500,000 of it. The othei
1 half was furnished by a London syn
I dicate acting throngh the Canadiai
> Bank. The railroad is to run fron
( Memphis, Tenn , to Chanute, Kas.
( passing through Joplin, Mo., the min

FLOATING BODIES FOUND.
The river situation in the Memphis
district has become critical. The
“Father of Waters” has reached a
stage of 39.7 feet, which is the highest
water ever yet recorded at Memphis.
It was thought at first that the break
in the levee Monday night at Trice’s
Landing would help matters by re
lieving the pressure of the water and
causing a fall at this point. Instead of
this, the break has complicated con
ditions by flooding a vast area in Ar
kansas across the Mississippi from
Memphis, and tonight a veritable sea
exists in the St. Francis and Mississip
pi river basins, extending from one
to the other, a distance of many miles.
Through this territory the St. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad runs but
all trains were annulled on this line
today and no assistance can be render
ed by the railroad, its tracks being un
derwater near Marion Ark.
A few floating bodies have been
found at various points by the rescu
ing boats, but the number has not yet
been alarming. A true estimate of the
loss of life from the flood can never
be made, as the sections flooded are so
vast in area and the population so
widely dispersed that nothing like a
census can be made.
BRUNDIDGE SAYS
CLARKE BLUNDERED.
Congressman S. Brundidge of Sear
cy while in Little Rock Tuesday gave
out an interview to the Democrat in
which he said that Senator J. H. Berry
requested him to carry Senator-elect
J. P. Clarke a proffer of his services,
in accord with senatorial courtesy, to
escort him to the president’s desk
when he was to be sworn in. He
waited in the senate for him an entire
day, but Mr. Clarke was delayed and
did not come. When he did arrive
the mission was performed by Con
gressman McRae, and as has been told
in the public prints, the offer was re
fused. Mr. Brundidge said in discuss
ing the incident: “I am sorry Sena
tor Clarke adopted such a course. It
was a mistake, and will follow him
for a long time. He will find that he
cannot represent his people alone.
There must be a unity and harmony
of action among the colleagues to ac
complish the best results.”
BEYOND ALL COMPARISONS.
One of the many factors contribut
ing to the remarkably rapid and solid
growth of St. Louis is the marvelous
development of the Southwest and
other territory tributary to that city
in all lines of trade. In 1904 there will
be held the greatest World’s Fair in
the world. The presidential cam
paign will also take place. To keep
informed with the whole world you
should subscribe at once for that peer
