ARKANSAS NORTHERN
NOW A CERTAINTY.
Says Black Rock Correspondent —
Road Would Penetrate One Of
Richest Sections of State.
Black Rock, Dec. 9.—The Arkansas
and Northern road is a certainty. The
articles of incorporation were filed in
the secretary of state’s office last
Monday, and a charter granted to the
incorporators. J. H. Myers is pres
ident; R. McCreery, vice-president;
M. D. Wilson of Missouri, second vice
president; 0. T. Burns, secretary and
Elton T. Irby, treasurer.
The company is capitalized at one
million dollar/, and it is proposed to
build a. standard line of first-class
equipment from Pocahontas through
the flourishing little city of Black
Rock and Powhatan, following the
foothills of Black river to Newark,
thence to connect with the Rock Is
land at Newport.
The road will cross the Frisco at
Black Rock, connect with the St.
Louis, Memphis and Southeastern at
Pocahontas, cross the Iron Mountain
at Newark, and connect with the
Rock Island at Newport.
It will traverse a rich part of Ar
kansas, drawing from the fertile
Spring river valley, going through
the entire Black river valley and
crossing the Strawberry river near its
mouth.
The line will run within two to six
miles of the zinc mines of Lawrence
and Sharp counties, thereby giving
easy transportation to the mines for
their ores, and in all probability a
large smelter will be built at Black
Kock. it will give great stimulus to
fruit and melon growing on the west
side of Black river, and the live stock
industry will be a paying source of
revenue within itself. Large tracts
of timber will be penetrated that
heretofore, for the lack of transpor
tation, have never been touched.
TownB will spring up along the line,
and the Black river valley, with its
fertile tributaries, the Spring, Eleven
points and Strawberry rivers, will be
one of the most prosperous places in
the entire South.
Mr. Sellers of New York, represent
ing large Eastern capital, is now at
Black Rock looking over the route
preparatory to putting the line
through as soon as right of way can
be secured.
The cost of construction will be
very light, and the line will be built
on a water level its entire length.
The general offices of the company
will, at present, be located at Black
Rock.
DAVIS SNUBS HILL.
Little Rock, Dec. 9.—The statutes of
Arkansas require all the State officers
to file biennial reports with the gov
ernor, who in turn refers them to the
recommendations in his message to
the legislature. It has been customory
for more than thirty-five years for the
governor to have these reports printed
for distribution among the members
of the general assembly. AU the state
officials filed reports with Gov. Davis
this year as usual. All excepting the
report of Agricultural Commissioner
Frank Hill were received by Gov. Da
vis and turned over to the state print
er. It leaked out today that when the
biennial report of Commissioner Hill
was handed to the governor he re
fused to touch it, saying that he did
not propose to “contaminate” his
lingers with it. Commissioner Hill
was a member of the state peniten
tiary board with Gov. Davis during
the past two years, and he and the
governor quarreled at almost every
meeting of the board. Several times
the lie passed between them, and it
was thought a personal encounter
was inevitable. •
This is believed to be at the bottom
of Gov. Davis’ action in not receiving
Judge Hill’s biennial report. The
legislature will very likely take hold
of the matter when it convenes next
month.

FAVOR DISPENSARY LAW.
Black Rock, f)ec. 9.—This commun
ity is discussing Senator Collins’ dis
