CHARTERS GRANTED
SHORT LINES.
The state board board of rail
way incorporators Saturday
granted charters to two short
lines, aggregating forty miles.
One was the Arkansas River and
Southern Railway Company. It
is proposed to construct a line
in the central part of the state,
having its terminus in Pulaski
county, and being twenty miles
in length, with a capital stock of
$200,000. The directors are: G.
W. Perry, T. G. Bragg, B.
Thurston, R. B. Edgar and C.
Ketchani.
The Cache Valley Railroad
Company filed an amendment to
its charter which provides for
the construction of a branch line
twenty-seven miles long from
Walnut Ridge, Lawrence county,
to Pa»*agould, Greene county,
crossing the main line at Light.
The directors are S. C. Dowell,
D.’Sloan, E. W. Culver, H. H.
Culver, D. R. Roberts.
PUSHING THE WORK.
According to reports received
from Cotter this week construc
tion trains are crossing the
bridge at that place regularly
and track laying progresses in
the tunnel on this side. It is
nrnhnhlp Hip tvnr*k will rpach
Georges creek before the con
tractor will have the cut com
pleted at that point. The trestle
at Georges creek is more than
a quarter of a mile long, and will
be sixty feet high at the highest
point. All the timbers for this
trestle will be brought in by rail,
so a wait of probably two weeks
in track laying will be made at
that point, and it is highly prob
able that by the time the laying
of rails from there begins, the
tunnel at Powell will be com
pleted. The grading from Pow
ell to Keener is completed ready
for the ties and track—Harrison

KEYSTONE OF \
Kimball PTiiihu..J
STRUCTURE. L
The szale of the Kimball Piano Is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the founda-*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense). but out of the few who have nearly reaJhed the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot s!ng correctly—it’s worse because all do not
tlnim to sing. It costa money to cultivate the voice, it costa more money to perfect a piano
The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
