ROCK ISLAND PLANS.
New Survey to be Made North From
Jacksonport to St. Louis—Esti
mated Cost of Lines From
Jacksonport and Belle to
Arkansas Line.
While nothing new has been given
out lately by the officials of the Rock
Island system regarding the building
of the line from Belle to West Plains
and on to Newport, it may be inter
esting to know the other branch lines
contemplated by thatrapidly-growing
system in this section, says the Spring
field Leader-Democrat.
When the survey was made of the
Belle branch last month the southern
connection to Newport was made at
Jacksonport, Ark., on the White &
Black River Valley railroad. This
road is Rock Island property, through
the purchase of the Choctaw line,
which owned this branch. Jackson
port is the northern terminus of this
line, which extends sixty miles nortn
from Brinkley.
It is now reported that a new sur
vey is to be made of this branch line
north from Jacksonport. Instead of
going in a northwesterly direction up
Strawberry creek, as Engineer Rams
deli did, the new survey will continue
up Black river to Black Rock, and
then in the direction of Doniphan and
Poplar Bluff. It is thought that the
suijyey will be continued northward
to St. Louis.
Should the Rock Island conclude to
build this last-named line there will
be no need of constructing the Belle
Kn.TnoVi QAma fimo it Hoc h«on
j known that the Rock Island intended
| making a survey east of here with a
view of comparing the line with the
ronto from Belle to Newport, and se
lecting the one most suitable and fea
sible.
The cost of building the line from
Belle to the Arkansas line via West
Plains was estimated by Captain
Okvk, who made the survey, at $9,500
a mile. Engineer Ramsdell, who came
uj Strawberry creek from Jackson
p< ?t and connected with the survey
ro .de by Captain Clark, estimated the
c< »t of building his end of the line rt
$iii,000 a mile.

ARKANSAS NORTHERN ROUTE.
C. T. Burns, a promising young at
torney of Black Rock, was here Fri
day afternoon on business and left
that night for Little Rock. Mr. Burn's
is interested in what is known as the
“Arkansas Northern” railroad, which
will probably be incorporated in the
near future. The line will be extend
ed from Pocahontas to Black Rock,
there crossing Black river on the new
Frisco bridge, running down the west
bank of that river to a point near its
mouth, to Jacksouport, thence to
Newport.
The town of Black Rock in order to
secure an extension of the Frisco from
Pocahontas secured right-of-way
for such a route and n«w an effort will
be made to buy up the right-of-way
from Black Rock to Newport as soon
as a line can be surveyed.
With this completed, the Frisco
could probably be induced to under
take the construction of the road.
Even without such backing, Mr.
Burns is confident that enough capital
can be enlisted to construct and main
tine the line as an independent road
and that the resources of the country,
through which it would pass, could be
relied upon to make it a dividend de
claring investment.
APPLICANTS FOR POSITIONS.
The newly-elected railroad commis
sioners, Hons. B. B. Hudgins of Har
rison, J. W. Phillips of Newport and
J. E. Hampton of Fordyce, will take
active charge of affairs in that office
oil or auout January iz, Bays iu« Ar
kansas Gazette. In addition to the
numerous other duties there will be
the appointment of the office force,
and a large number of applications for
the several positions are already filed.
There are three positions to be filled,
viz: Secretary, rate clerk and sten
ographer. For the secretaryship, now
held by Howard Robb, Messrs. Clen
denin of Harrison, Engle of
Clarendon, J. C. Hampton and
George B. Pugh, a well-known attor
ney of this city, have made applica
tion, and the race will be hotly con
tested. E. G. Connely, the present
incumbent, appears to have a clear
field as rate clerk, but others may an
nounce later. A number of young
men have applied for ^the position of
stenographer, now held “by S.
Wooten of Russellville. J. J. Hudg
ins, boii of Hon. B. B. Hudgins, is said
to be one of the applicants. Numer
ous friends of the several candidates
are interested in the appointments,
and are assisting their favorites. The
commissioners will make the appoint
ments as soon as their organization is
perfected.
STREET FAIR A FAKE.
A big mistake was made in allov» lug
the so called street fair to stop in
Batesville. Such outfits are degrad
ing to any community. No one could
take a turn through the grounds on
this fair? without being impressed
with the fact that it was made up of
exhibitions such as should not be al
lowed in any self-respecting com
munity. While it is humiliating to be
taunted by our neighbors for letting
such disreputable concerns stop with
>u v/«* vvm j j v/ v * v »* tit hv/umav t it |a, wva
to the town. It will be remembered
that Batesville has not had very much
to do with such affairs, but now that
we are soon to be placed on a great
trunk line of railroad there will no
doubt be many opportunities to enter
tain all kind of fakes, and the exper
ience thus early in our new growth
will serve to put a check on all dis
reputable concerns which may knock
at our door for admittance. —Bates

LOU IN MARTIN.
Jno. W. Wallace on Friday evening
received a telephone message from
Batesville, announcing the death at f
p. m. of Louin Martin, a step-son of
John M. Cook, aged about 22 years.
The deceased had been an invalid
for the past two years from consump
tion, and had been in Colorado until
recently, when brought home in a
private car. He was the owner of
considerable land in Richwoods town
ship of this county, which was held in
trust by John M. Cook, his guardian.
The burial was to have been held
at Batesville.

MAD DOG SCARE. i
Augusta, Ark., Nov. 28.—Augusta
and vicinity is greatly excited over
depredations of mad dogs. Some
week or so since Miss Bessie Lun
narrowly escaped being bitten while on
the streets by a rabid dog. The dog
was killed just as it attacked her. A
hog and a chicken that the dog bit
went mad and had to be killed. Last
Friday Mr. Wheeler, who lives just
east of Augusta on the Carl Lee place,
noticed his dog was acting strangely
and went to fasten him up when the
dog snapped his little son in the face,
but only slightly abrased the skin.
However, the child was taken to a
doctor, who thought the injury was
not dangerous. The dog made his
escape, bit a number of cattle and
hogs belonging to Judge Carl Lee, at
tacked two negro women south of
town and committed other depreda
tions. The town has ordered all dogs
killed found upon the streets without
tags.
COOPER DID NOT
PAY HOZIER SHORTAGE.
The statement printed in all the
papers hereabouts that former United
States Marshal Henry M. Cooper paid
the amount of the shortage of his chief
deputy, George H. Hozier, is
erroneous. Mr. Cooper positively re
fused to pay one cent until he was
told that he was criminally liable for
$280, Which amount he paid after con
siderable wrangling. The remainder
of the $1,743 was furnished by a friend
of Mrs. Hozier and her family.
