tive credits in the rural com
munities of Europe, Ad Bertig
of Paragould, and Adolph Fel
senthal of Camden, will sail for
Europe the last of this month,

The fire department was called
out last night by an alarm of
fire turned in from the barber
shop on Hazel street. The shop
bad closed for the night and pas
sersby, about nine o clock dis
covered the house filled with
smoke, which had also gone
through into the postoffice, and
Miss Graham’s millinery store.
It was found that the stove
pipe had come out of the flue
ir fallen down, which caused the
smoke, but otherwise no dam
age was done.
Dr. H. E. Dowell returned
from Little Rock today, where
tie attended the last day of the
session of the Arkansas Dentists
Association.
Mrs. H. C. Sanders has re
turned from a two days’ trip to

More Convicts To Levee.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 11.—It is
probable that 150 more convicts
from the State farm will today
be hurried to the Red Fork lev
ee, near Yoncapin. President
Buck ot tins levee district nas
requested the use of the con
victs to prevent a break in the
Arkansas river levee there. As
this is near the mouth of the riv
er, the pressure on the levee is
very great. The M. H. & L.
railroad is also washed out there
and the convicts will be used to
restore it to the point of re
sumption of traffic if the con
victs may be used in this case
of emergency.
Was Not Signed in Time.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 10.—Be
cause the Armstrong inheritance
tax bill was not signed three
days earlier, the State of Arkan
sas lost over $24,000 from the
estate of G. L. Richie, a pioneer
merchant of Camden who died
March 21, leaving an estate val
ued at $500,000. The act was
signed on March 24, and as the
old law was in effect until that
time, the heirs to the Richie es
tate will pay to the state only a
small sum. This fact was dis
covered Thursday afternoon
when an official investigation
was made by the Governor and
Attorney General when their at
tention was called to the value
of the Richie estate.

MAIN LINE
TRAINS DETOURED
Via Pine Bluff And Cotton Belt
But Through Service Is
Promised Saturday.
I
_
Little Rock, April 11.—E. J.
Pearson, first vice president of
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Moun
tain lines, arrived in Little Rock
from Memphis yesterday after
noon. Mr. Pearson and party of
engineers went direct to the
Fourche river bridge to view the
washout at that point.
That traffic to the Southwest
will be reopened not later than
Saturday, is the opinion of local
officials. The water, four feet
deep, on the tracks at Fourche is
receding at the rate of one inch
per hour. The bridge is badly
damaged and extensive repair
work will be necessary before
trains can be run.
The bridge over Hurricane
creek near Benton is also badly
damaged and a washout between
Benton and Hot Springs has tied
up all traffic between Little Rock
and Hot Springs. Trains Nos.
17 and 35 are stalled at Benton
with 140 passengers.
All iron Mountain trains to
Memphis are being run via Net
tleton and the Frisco lines.
Trains on the Valley division to
Pine Bluff are being detoured
over the lines of the Cotton Belt.
Late yesterday afternoon G.
W. Dean, general superintendent
of the road, received a message
from Bridge Junction that the
water at that point is receding
and that at the present rate of
fall the track will be cleared
some time today. It is probable
that the Iron Mountain will re
sume traffic over its line to Mem
phis before night.
A train for the West on the
Rock Island lines left Little Rock
I yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock.
(The train was detoured over the
Iron Mountain lines to Fort
Smith, then over the Frisco lines
to Wister, where the Rock Is
land main line is crossed.
Passengers to Memphis over
the Rock Island are taken to
Wheatley and thence to Helena
over the Missouri and North Ar
thpnpp to Memnhis.
| South of Haskell on the Rock
Island no trouble has been re
ported. It is the opinion of local
officials that service will be re
established on lines with the ex
ception of the Memphis division
today.
Passenger Train No. 6 reach
ed Newport Friday morning at
[ 5 o’clock about 6 hours late and
! No. 18 was made up in Little
; Rock and run through to St.
Louis.
Much Water But None to Drink.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 11.—Hard
as it may be to believe, the
State Tuberculosis Sanitarium
is in the same condition of the
Ancient Mariner, with “water,
water everywhere, but not a
drop to drink,” for in spite of all
the water which has fallen ev
erywhere in the past week, there
is little drinking water at the
Sanitarium near Booneville.
The deep wells, which have sup
plied the institution with water
for several years have gone dry
The board is now considering s
plan to dam a stream near the
institution, from which water
will be pumped to the reservoir
on the top of the Kill. Engineer.'
from Fort Smith have reporter
the plan a feasible one.

Hot Springs Is Isolated.
Hot Springs, April 10.—An
other day passed and no trains
left this city, and announcement
was made at both the Iron Moun
tain and Rock Island railroads
that it would be impossible to
ibring the passengers marooned
in Benton since yesterday morn
ing into Hot Springs before to
i morrow afternoon or possibly
I Saturday morning. The tele
graph service is also out of com
i mission, with the exception of
one wire in the Mackay office.
The Western Union has been
“dead” now nearly 48 hours.
The Postal held communication
.with Memphis up to 10 o’clock
j this morning, when the circuit
was broken and has not been re
j stored.
| The Mackay company yester
day sent their telegrams to Dal
j las, from which point they were
i relayed to their destinations.
{Tonight they are in communica
jtion with both Dallas and Mem
i phis.
It is believed that all of the
county bridges have withstood
the flood, notwithstanding the
fact the water went from four to
six feet over the floors of the
structures.
Tonight the Ouachita has cov
ered a mile on each side of the
bank, and is the highest it has
been in 30 years. It is expected
to recede in the morning.
Local merchants who had
their stocks damaged when the
water overflowed Central avenue
have resumed business, but the
flood was the most severe in the
history of the city.

Corporation Tax Now Due.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 11.—No
tices to all corporations in Ark
ansas, calling their attention to
the laws of the state governing
franchise taxes, and intimating
it is time for the payment of the
same are being sent out by the
Tax Commission. This act, as
amended by the recent legisla
ture, will bring in $175,000 to
the General Revenue fund and
it must be paid in by August 10.
With the evident intention of
keeping the General Revenue
ifund near bed rock, the legisla
ture also made many appropria
tions which will take out even
this great sum as rapidly as it is
paid in.
Under the new law all corpora
tions not specifically mentioned,
must pay a franchise tax of one
fifteenth of one mill of the capi
tal stock employed in Arkansas.
The law also gets the foreign
corporation which is authorized
to do business in Arkansas,
forcing it to pay a tax upon the
amount of capital it is author
ized to employ in the state. The
minimum tax to be paid by any
corporation is $10. There are
between 5000 and 6000 corpora
tions doing business in the state.
Building and loan companies
must pay a tax of $25, mutual
insurance companies which ha\e
no capital stock, must pay an
annual tax of $100 and insur
ance companies with a capital
1 stock up to $500,000, pay $100,
; but those with a capital over
' that sum must pay $200 annual
ly.
