GOULD’S SIGNIFICANT
STATEMENT.
President of Missouri Pacific System
Says White River Route Rivals
Colorado Lines In Beautiful
Scenery and Will Be Made
Trunk Line—Shortest
Route From Kan
sas City To
Memphis.
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 14.—Geo.
Gould, president of the Missouri Pa
cific system, accompanied by Vice
President Russel Harding and Vice
President F. H. Britton of the Cotton
Belt, spent Saturday in Memphis. Mr.
Gould gave out a statement relative
to vast improvements.
“Memphis needs a union station
more than any city in the south,” said
Mr. Gould, “and I am perfectly wil
ling to join in any feasible movement
in that direction. The matter was
taken under consideration several
years ago, but the negotiations were
fruitless. I am ready to reopen the
question, and if the other roads fail to
lend their co-operation I will erect a
!5>200,000 depot for the Missouri Pa
cific.”
“Memphis is destined to become the
gateway between the east and the
west. I have overlooked the impor
tance of the city as a gateway in the
past, but now I am realizing it. Its
value to our interests will be greater
in the future than in the past on ac
count of the development in our
properties west of the Mississippi
river and contingent to Memphis.
“Within another year we will have
our new line completed into Kansas
City, giving the shortest line between
Kansas City and Omaha and Mem
phis. i t the same time our line down
the west side of the Mississippi to
New Orleans will be completed.
“Our new line to Kansas City will
be in connection with the Iron Moun
tain system, over the White River
branch now in course of construction.
This line will be forty miles shorter ,
than the present shortest route to I
! that city. It will also have the best
; grade. The grade for 250 miles will
; be water level grade. This line is
I being constructed for the heaviest of
I traffic, both freight and passenger. It
j is determined to make it a competing
j trunk line. The road has been com
| pleted half-way to Buffalo from New
| port, Ark.
“The scenery on this line is grand.
Our party went over the line yester
day. In the Ozark mountains there
is to be found scenery to rival the
grandeur of Colorado.”
Asked if the Missouri Pacific still
entertained the idea of building a
bridge across the Mississippi at Mem
phis, Mr. Gould said:
“Yes, we are still of that notion and
certainly will build the bridge unless
the Kansas City Bridge Company re
duces its toll. Under their present
rate of charges I consider that we are
paying at least 50 per cent too much
for tolls. It would pay us to build a
bridge instead of paying excessive
tolls as we are doing.”
SURVEY COMPLETE
TO LAKES FERRY.
The White river railroad has com
pleted the location of their line up
White river to Lakes Ferry, a point
on White river not over ten miles
from Yellville. The preliminary corps
of surveyors are now surveying a line
up Fallen Ash creek, which is in al
most a westerly direction from Lakes
Ferry, this line will leave Yellville
about one mile to the north. There is
no question but this road will be the
mineral road of North Arkansas as it
passes through the county near the
center and in easy reach of both the
Jimmies creek and Rush creek mining
districts.—Yellville Echo.
ST. FRANCIS RIVER PEARLS.
Forrest City, Ark., Sept. 14.—David
Thorne, of Madison, was on our
streets Saturday displaying some fine
pearls found in the St. Francis river.
He proposes to send them to Tiffany
& Co., New York, for inspection and
sale.
TWELFTH BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Miss Mildred Bernstein gave a
pleasant birthday party Saturday af
ternoon to celebrate the day upon
which she reached the age of twelve.
She was assisted in receiving and
making them all at home in the spa
cious parlors of the Hazel by Mrs. H.
Bernstein and Mrs. Frick and Mrs. H.
F. Kath and Misses Hattie, Blanche
and Della Bernstien. The invited
ones remembered the event in many
pretty and useful presents.
The dining room was beautifully
decorated with sweet elyseum; the
vase presented Mr. and Mrs. Bern
stein at the opening of the Hazel,
resting upon a centerpiece of wild
roses, was laden with flowers and
fruits. The refreshments consisted
of ice cream, cake, candy, fruits and
lemonade.
Those present were Misses Beatrice
McHugh, Laura Mosby, Hortense
Hite, Marguerite Gregg, Norinne
Hess, Grace Mayhan, Irma Wolf,
Hazel Jones, Hortense Schott,
Clara, Esther and Rosa Meyer,
Lucile Frank, Kate Harder, Annie and
Marie Upshaw, Ethel Johnson, Jennie
Stuckey; Masters Elwood Neal, Ralph
Hirsch, Charley Brewer, Phillip
Lockard, Milton Meyer, Herbert and
Lester Frank, Leo Volkmer, Dotis
Joyce and Horace Johnson.
REV. IL eTgABBY RESIGNS.
Rev. H. E. Gabby, pastor of the
Baptist church in this city, offered his
resignation to the congregation of
that church Sunday morning to take
effect the first of October. The resig
nation was made that he might ac
cept a call to the pastorate of the
Baptist church at Owensboro, Ken
tucky, a city of 16,000 population.
It is with the deepest regret that
not only his own church but the peo
ple of Newport generally, part with
Mr. Gabby and his estimable wife and
it is with no feeling of hesitation that
we commend him strongly to his new
charge. His sincerity impresses
itself upon those who know
him and a minister, who is thoroughly
L
consciencious, able and fearless, as
we know him to be, cannot help but
attain a bright future and prove a
blessing in the lives of others.
SEVERAL SECTIONS
REPORT FROSTS.
The early-risers upon Sunday morn
ing had a chance to see quite a cover
ing of frost upon vegetation and
walks, but when the sun had driven
Jack Frost to his wintry retreats, the
effects of his visitation were not dis
cernable.
FROST FRIDAY NIGHT.
Mammoth Spring, Sept. 13.—There
was a light frost throughout this sec
tion last night, and the indications are
for frost again tonight. Only slight
damage was done.
HOXIE EXPERIENCED FROST.
Hoxie, Sept. 13.—A big white frost
appeared here this morning.
TRUTHFULLY ADVERTISED.
The art of advertising has grown to
such gigantic proportions within the
past few years, and has been adopted
by so many different kinds of busi
ness, that the Circuses alone d® not
have the field to themselves as they
formerly did. However, the Tent
Shows still have the field of veracity
before them, very few of which con
fine their advertising to within the
limit of actual events displayed in the
Show. One exception, however, that
does, is Gentry Bros. Famous Shows
United. For many years their ad
vertisements have been minutely
correct and truthful regarding the
various acts in the Show. The Posters
displayed by Gentry Bros, this season
are indeed a work of art and have
attracted more than ordinary atten
tion in this city. The date of the
show at Newport is Wednesday, Sep
tember 17. Prices 25 and 35 cts.

the occasion in a very charming man
ner.
