C. H. Wilmans, Ike Goldman anc
T. S. Stephens went to Little Rock or
the noon train Friday. The purpose
of their visit, it seems, is to influence
the governor to add his signature to
the recently passed Myers’ mussel bill
and thus place it upon the statutes o'.
Arkansas. The measure as finally
passed is regarded as strictly in the
interests of the planter and a death
blow to the pearling industry. Gov
ernor Davis has given out privately
that he is seriously considering a vetc
for the bill. T P. Umsted went down
on the noon train to present several
lengthy petitions, praying Hie Excel
eucy to refuse his sanction of the
measure.
f OVER FIFTY MILES
OF BACK WATER.
Capt. S. H. Jackson returned Thurs
day night by rail from Rosedale, Mis
sissippi, where he delivered the boat
“Evening Star” to its new owners the
Ward Lumber Company of Chicago,
purchased from the Kelley Lumber
Company of this city.
Mr. Jackson states that the Missis:
sippi is now so high, that the back
water extends fifty miles up the
White, which near its mouth is like a
great inland sea, the waters being as
placid as those of a lake. The waves
uf a passing boat are felt for twenty
miles.
All of the Arkansas rivers are very
( high, Cache, St. Francis and Arkan
| sas. At the mouth of the latter, only
! sixteen feet of the smokestack of a
sawmill of the Ward Lumber Com
pany is now visible and the people of
that section are living in tents built
upon rafts.
As the Evening Star had but one
crew, they were compelled to tie up
to trees at nights and the experience
of this trip proved both novel and
interesting. Mr. Jackson expects
Thursday night and Friday’s rain to
add the finishing touches that are
needed for an overflow.
MAY veto mussel measure.
Gov. Davis is being besieged with
petitions and by delegations for and
against the Myers mussel shell bill,
which prohibits the taking of mussels
and shells from the streams of Arkan
sas in April, May and June of each
i year, and bars use of the instrument
called the crowfoot. The bill has
passed both branches of the legislat
ure and awaits approval or disapprov
al from the governor.
It is given out by parties who have
| recently had an audience with the
I governor, that he has virtually signi
■ fled his intention of vetoing the meas
ure, though the same individuals ex
i pressed the opinion that the legisla
1 j ture in such an event would probably
give the bill a two-thirds’ vote.
The governor has signed senate bill
No. 123, to amend the act of March
20, 1895, fixing the salaries of the offi
cers of Independence county, and
making them as follows: Circuit
clerk, $1,800 per auuum; county clerk,,
$2,100; assessor, not to exceed $700:
! from fees, and in addition half of the '
fees from delinquent assessments;
sheriff to be allowed 50 cents a day
each for feeding prisoners; treasurer,
not to exceed $800 from fees.
Daily Independent 10 cents a week
