VICE-PRESIDENT PARSER’S
VISIT.
Pine Bluff, December 19.—A dis
tinguished visitor in Pine Bluff Tues
day night was Mr. H. A. Parker, vice
president of the great Rock Island
system of railways. Mr. Parker has
been in this section for several days
inspecting the territory through
which it is proposed to extend the
Rock Island system. The great tim
ber belt of southeast Arkansas was
c trefully inspected, and it is assured
that Mr. Parker’s visit is of great im
port. The state at some point south
east of Pine B'uff will have to be tra
versed by the Rock Island if the pro
posed extension is made, and of that
there seems no doubt. The extension
will commence, it is believed, at ei
ther Malvern or Benton, and in this
section two objective points are con
sidered—either Thornton or Fordyce,
and either Warren or Crossett. Mr.
Parker was in the vicinity of these
places, and doubtless has formed his
conclusions as to the most desirable
of them, though he was non-committ
al on the subject. From one of these
towns the road will be extended south
until New Orleans is reached. Warren
is taking a keen interest in Mr. Par
ker’s visit to this section, and while
here he was called upbn by a com
mittee of representative citizens of
that place composed of Messrs. W. S.
Goodwin, W. J. Savage and L. J.
Burbride, who presented the claims of
Warren and solicited an appointment
with the Rock Island officials for the
purpose of making the company a
proposition in the near future. In
this they w|re successful, Mr. Parker
agreeing to'take the matter up with
the other officials. Mr. Parker, after
remaining in the city several hours,
left yesterday morning in his private
car over the Iron Mountain for the
north.
