WHITE RIVER ROAD.
Dapitalization Increased by Board of
Directors to §3,810,000 to Provide
For Authorized Extension of
124 Miles.
A meeting of the board of directors
>f the White River Railway Company
vas held in Batesville Monday and a
nillion dollars was appropriated to
vard the cost of completing the road
o Carthage, Missouri. This will make
he road a part of a great trunk line
rom Memphis to Denver. The scenic
eatures of the road through the upper
iVbite river country will make it one
>f the most popular lines of travel in
he country.
Those present at the meeting were
F. W. Butler, Simon Adler, C. B.
dandford, Theodore Maxfield, James
?. Coffin, Batesville; George E. Dodge,
jittle Rock; F. W. Irland, St. Louis.
Hr. Irland was the personal represen
tative of Mr. C. G. Warner, president
)f the company, and vice-president of
he Missouri Pacific.
The company was reorganized and
Dol. Dodge was elected president to
tucceed Mr. Warner, and Simon Adler
vas elected vice-president to succeed
Jol. Russell G. Harding.
The capital stock was increased
Ironi §1,950,000 to §3,810,000, and the
sxtension of the line was authorized
!rom the present terminus at Mount
dlive, Izard county, to Carthage, Mo.
President Dodge says that there will
je 53 miles in operation from Bates
ville by January 1, after which time
,he construction on tlie latter Dart of
[he road will be pushed from both
sods with all possible speed. George
3ojld has subscribed the additional
stock to build the line, and is anxious
bo see the early completion of the
road. The extension author!,. 1 by
the resolution adopted on Monday is
for 124 miles of road.
It is generally understood that this
ts merely an arrangement preliminary
[o the eventual taking over of the
property by the Missouri Pacific.
The accompanying maps and profiles
show the crossing of the road over
White river near McBee’s Landing,
from which point it extends westward
ilong Fallen Ash Creek, in Marion
jounty, to the Crooked Creek valley,
which it follows to the line of Marion
md Boone counties, east of Harrison.
It then veers northward to a point
several miles east of Keener, when it
runs westward through Oregon, leav
ng Harrison 12 miles to the southwest,
[hence along Bear Creek, near Myrtle,
[hence near Self and Omaha, north of
which it passes out of Arkansas into
.he Turkey Creek valley, in Taney
3ounty, Mo., whence it extends in a
general northwesterly direction to
Darthage, Mo.
At a meeting of the state board of
railway incorporators held Wednesday
forenoon in the office of the secretary
of state, the amendment to the charter
is outlined in the resolution was
granted.
TO BUILD TO PITTSBURG.
Topeka, Doc. 17.—It is said that up
on the completion of the Missouri
Pacific’s White River Valley line, now
surveyed and building between Bates
ville, Ark., and Carthage, Mo., it will
be extended to Pittsburg, Kan., and
made a part of the K., N. & D. The
letters K., N. & D. stand for “Kansas,
Nebraska and Dakota,” a neglected
ana mue usea roaa mai runs iruiu
Fort Scott northwest to Topeka. It
was constructed by the late Col. A. A.
Harris some years ago and turned over
to the Missouri Pacific, but it never
rose to a first-class line, and its chief
business now is hauling coal. The
Missouri Pacific already has an almost
straight line from Fort Scott to Pitts
burg and by taking out a little kink
north of Pittsburg and closing a short
gap between there and Carthage the
company would, have a direct and
usful line from the Kaw valley to a
connection with the Iron Mountain at
Batesville.
PLEASED POPLAR BLUFF.
The best show that has appeared at
the Fraternal this season says the
Poplar Bluff Journal was the “Star
Boarder,” which occupied the boards
Tuesday night. The cast is composed
of stars throughout, and from the
time the curtain raises in the first act
until it is rung down at the close it is
one continual laugh. The “Star
Boarder” is an artist in his line, and is
always doing something to tickle his
audience. The largest audience Been
at the Fraternal this season greeted
this company, and none who witnessed
the performance had aught but en
thusiastic praise for both company and
management of the opera house.
Santa Claus headquarters will be at
the Palace Jewelry Store. 192 btf

TWO WEDDINGS AT BATESVILLE.
Batesville, Dec. 17.—Miss Edith
Handford ind J. P. Adams were unit
ed in marriage this afternoon at 4
o’clock, Archdeacon Rhames officiat
ing. The bride is the beautiful daugh
ter of J. S. Handford, a banker of
this city, and Mr. Adams is the secre
tary and one of the largest stock
holders of the White River Wholesale
Grocery Company of this city. They
left on the evening train for Beau
j inont, Tex., and other points on an
extended bridal tour.
Miss Sopha Helm and W. A. Mitch
of this city were united in marriage at
8 o’clock tonight at the Methodist
church, Rev. Z. T. Bennett officiating.
The church was elegantly decorated
and the wedding was beautiful. The
bride is the daughter of Capt. Newt
Helm and is considered one of the
beauties of this city. Mr. Mitchell is
a prominent railroad man, connected
with the construction of the White
River Railroad, building from this city
to Carthage, Mo.
WHITE RIVER BEGINS TO FALL.
White River, after reaching 24 feet
on the Newport guage, which is but a
couple of feet below the danger line,
has begun to fall, though Black river
shows no indications of falling. A
telephone message from Elgin Thurs
day morning stated that Black river
had risen 8 inches from 4 p. m. Wed
nesday to 7 a. m. next day.
Though White shows a rise of 1.3
feet since Wednesday’s report, a foot
fall in rendrted from Batesville and
the highest water is undoubtedly
passed.
The water has been pouring in at
the levee gates and repair work is said
to be necessary in many places if the
city is to be protected from future
rises.
