Hot Springs is to have a western
outlet.
While in the spirit of doing big
things for Hot Springs the proposal
from the Memphis, Dallas an tJult
Railroad Company for a through line
from Ashdown to Hot Springs was
submitted, and JaBt night ft was ac
cepted t a mass meeting at which
more than one-third of the sum nec
essary to carry out the contract wat
p'edged.
The committee report from M. A.
Eisele, Dave LaBar, Frank Stearns
and Dr. A. U. Williams, which rep
♦#* S i «» A. Alttf A*t A n<A«i A«l AM SL A l\MA
! *OBVUt**»S»C ViVUiVUO **ClSt W»t5t UlO 4'* V
posed route, was a glowing one, and
is herewith given in full. Following
this report a spirit of getting busy in
the matter of subscriptions followed,
and one third of the sum was p'edg
I* ed.
k C. N. Rix, president of the Busi
ness Men's League, and a man always
identified with bie movements here,
was made chairman of the meeting,
and Secretary Belding of the League
was made secretary of the mass
meeting. The report of the committe '
; was read and it was discussed at
I at length, the final summary of which
Iwas that Hot Springs was getting »
bargain and that her people Bhould
grab quick at this opportunity.
Following the completion of the
subscription list of last night, a com
mittee of Messrs. Laser. Dr. Wil
liams. M. A. Eisele, W>. W. Water*
and George Belding were named, who
with Chairman Rlx, will meet at the
Business Men's League this afternoon
at ♦ o’clock and arrange a committee
which is necessary to get this road.
The subscriptions are payable on*
third when the railroad Is complete*
and open "for traffic," as Supt. Harr:
Myers, who has had some experience
in building roads, so well defined last
night; one third six months thereaf
ter, and the other twelve months
months thereafter.
It was the concensus of opinion at
last night's meeting that the building
of this road would force the other
lines into action in getting western
outlets, which means an era of pro
gress and upbuilding here that Hot
springs can not appreciate at this
time, nor realize the benefits until
they come.
The report of the committee, which
on motion of E. M. Cohen, was ac
cepted, was as follows:
The Committee Report.
To the President and Members of the
Business Mens League:
I he undersigned commitlee ap
pointed by the league at a recent
meeting to investigate the proposi
tion presented to the citizens of Hot
Springs by the Memphis, Dallas and
Gulf 'Railroad Company, beg leave to
submit the following report:
Your committee were met at Nash
ville by a committee of the Commer
cial League and also by officials of
the road and every means to facili
tate our work end to secure such in
formation as we desired was placed
at our command.
We find that this road has been
TOumrucieu irura Asnaown, L,utie
River county, to Murphysboro in Pike
county, a distance of 43 miles, with «
miles graded beyond Murphysboro
and as far as completed it is a stand
ard guage road in excellent condition,
fine road bed, steel bridges standard
rails and ties and well equipped with
rolling stock to handle the business of
the road, is being operated with sat
isfactory train service and enjoys re
munerative business.
We find that the road connects at
Ashdown with the Kansas City
Southern and the Frisco railroads,
two trunk lines covering an immense
territory from which Hot Springs wtlj
I raw an immense patronage, if the
road is extended to Hot Springs it
will cross .the Iron Mountain Southern
railroad at Nashville and will also
cross the Prescott and Northern and
Gordon and F‘ • Smith roads all of
which will in a way be feeders of this
line.
The road as at present completed
is laid through a veritable garden
spot of the state, running as it does
through the counties of Little River,
Howard, and Pike, rich in all re
sources necessary to support a rail
road.
These counties in development, fer
tility of soil, and variety of products,
coupled with a salubrious climate
compares, favorably with any in the
whole country.
From MurpheyBhoro to Hot SpringB
along the line of the proposed exten
sion wo have not made any personal
inspection, but from information
reliable we are led to believe that the
territory traversed will not equal that
through which the road is now built,
•hut tho nonatrnrt inn will b« more
rificult, and when finished, for a limit
ed period the timber will constitute
the principal freight asset but that
there are numerous narrow valleys of
great fertility that will become avail
able in time for farming purposes
with upland for fruit and stock rais
ing which with the advent of the
advent of the road will develop into a
air territory.
Assuming that the road may be
brought to this city we are convinced
•hat the supporting territory from this
city to Ashdown will compare favor
ably with the best anywhere.
The road is called the Memphis
Dallas and Gulf which we assume
ontemplates a line from Memprls to
Dallas, Texas, any person of average
intelligence can see the great bene
ficial possibilities that will accrue tc
► hie city from such a line with Mem
phis as the eastern gateway makinp
connections with the vast eastern an<!
southeastern business, and Dallas or
the southwest with its many connec
ting lines, it will become a favorite
road of travel to the south, and south
west, California and Mexico, tJiui
realizing our long fond dream of see
ing Hot Springs on a trunk line, anc
through tourists may secure stopovei
privileges to visit the greatest healtt
and pleasure resort in the world, ant
ol this ultimate extension within th<
points named your committee from
evidences observed feel hopefully
sanguine.
If there Is no further extension for
the present, and the terminals be
Ashdown - nd Hot Springs the bene
fits will be greater to Hot Springs
than to any other point. Through
sleepers to Kansas City can be
brought hgre over both trunk lines
viz. the Frisco and the Kansas City
Southern, besides the general passen
ger and freight traffic which the ter
ritory tapped will furnish. While these
connections with trunk lines are con
ceded to be of paramount importance,
yet there is another and in our opin
ion almost equally important feature,
which concern our people directly,
and that is the certainty that this
road will if brought to this city ma
terially reduce the cost of living, Hot
Springs will become the market for
the splendid food products which
grow so luxuriantly and abundantly
along the line of the road and are
now marketed in other directions.
Pike, Howard and Little filter
counties with their corn, cotton, al
falfa, wheat, oats, potatoes, peas,
beans, canteloupes, tomatoes, poultry
of ail kinds, beef, cattle, hogs, sheep,
eggs, butter, cheese, milk, in fact
nearly every food product known and
consumed in quantities here can >be
supplied from the markets of Nash
ville Anri AHhrtnwn at zreatlv reduced
cost.
In addition to the agricultural and
horticultural products already men
tioned the industrial products are
equally important and include vast
tracts of pine and hardwood, chalk
for the manufacture of cement, kaolm
for the manufacture of china and stone
ware, gypsum for the manufacture of
plaster parts, silica for the manufac
ture of plate glass, marls for the
manufacture of fertilizer, asphaltum
and Diamonds.
Remember this road will supply the
long cherished and hoped for western
outlet as well as a southwestern inlet
commencing at a point near the in
tersection oi Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Texas tapping a territory rich In
possibilities for increasing our tourist
business we are certain to reap a
lucerative business.
These and many other considera
tions which we do not think advisa
ble or necessary to Include in this
report occupied with the belief that
our own merchants may find an in
creased outlet for their merchandise
and the certainty that property val
ues will be greatly enhanced that
labor will receive additional employ
ment that manufacturing plants may
be established here, and the certainty
that the prosperity of this greatest
health and pleasure resort will be
greatly augmented leads us to earn
estly recommend that our good citi
zens accept the proposition submitted
and that immediate steps be taken to
secure the necessary subscriptions.
The Committee desires to make
acknowledgment of the courtesies ex
tended by the Commercial League of
Nashville and Astuiown.
Respectfully Submitted,
D. 'LASER,

ROOSEVELT TO

PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION IS
CLEARED UP BY THE COL
ONEL, HIMSELF.
Believes That Present Adminlstra
tration Should Be Continued
Another Four Years.
- ; !•
Washington, D .C., June 6.—Presi
dent Taft in his candidacy for the
presidential nomination in 1912 will
receive the unqualified endorsement
of former President Theodore Roose
velt, which will be uttered just as
cordially as it was prior to the cam
[Miign of 1908. This is the host polit
ical news Mr. Taft has received in
many months and it comes to him in
a manner that leaves no doubt as to
its authenticity.
The information that Colonel
Roosevelt, under no circumstances,
will allow his own name to be ore
seated to the republican national con
ventioni was conveyed to the White
House several days ago, hut It did
not become known until tonight. That
Colonel Roosevelt feels that the Taft
administraiton should be continued
was brought out partly as the resuit
of a cordial greeting between the
two men at the Cardinal Gibbons Ju
bilee in Baltimore today.
Whether the approval of Mr.
Taft's candidacy will go far enougn
to bake the former president into the
cmpaign as an acti.ve stump speaker,
Is probleifflttlcal, but that the force
of his personality will be with the
president is assured. This fact is not
expected to prove pleasing to repub
licans who have made no secret of
their desire to bring Colonel Roose
velt forward as a formidable rival
for tire 1912 nomination. Many of
the republicans no doubt will refuse
to abandon hope until Colonel Roose.
velt himself in quoted statement,
announces his position, and thus
breaks the silence concerning the ad
ministration which he has maintainej
since landing in New York on his re
turn from his African hunt.

Baltimore ,Md., June 15.—James
Cardinal Gibbons missed nis after
noon walk today. For the first time
in years one of the very few in the
the only prince of the Catholic
twenty.five years that he has been
Church in the United States, he
missed that afternoon stroll, over the
streets of Baltimore, where he lis
tened to banker and beggar and took
to heart the troubles of "his people.”
Instead of Hie walk that had become
a feature of that part of the city In
which he lived, the cardinal sat this
afternoon on the temporary stage in
the Fifth Regiment Armory and lis
tened to the great men of the nation
speak In eulogy of his life. Presi
dent Taft, Viee-Bresideiit Sherman,
Chief Justice White, former President
Roosevelt, Ambassador Bryce of Great
Britain. Sneaker Clarke. Senator Moot
af New Y«rk, Governor Crothers of
Maryland, former Speaker Cannon and
Mayor Presley of Baltimore, sat with
ihe cardinal and all except the chief
justice spoke in praise of him. Among
the 600 guests seated on the platform
behind the president, the cardinal and
the other speakers, were more than
a score of senators and members of
the house of representatives.
Probably a more distinguished gath
ering was never held in this country

of government came pretty near to a
stop while those who sit in charge
over them paid honor to the card!

sonB, its builders say, and It was
crowded to the doors.
The cardinal sat in a red plus ;
chair In the center of the stage. T'
his right was President Taft, then
came former President Roosevelt
and Chief Justice White and on thf
cardinal's left were Governor Croth
ers of Maryland, Ambassador Bryce
Speaker Clarke and Representative
Cannon. The ovation which greeted
the cardinal as he climbed the stain
with President Taft was remarkable
The cardinal wore the red robe,
the skull cap of red and the dee[
green ring of his office. Through al
the speeches he sat smiling, every
changing expression of his face and
eyes attesting the pleasure this trib
ute afforded him.
He smiled like a hoy when Presi
dent Taft introduced him to Mr
Roosevelt; he laughed with glee whet!
the chief Justice shook his hand and
the ghost of a grin flickered ovei
his face as Speaker Clarke, mixing
for a moment politics with religion
M..l 1 tkut kn had haftn U notfllf fctrf'f

republicans.”
Following Oovernor Crothers, wh<
presided, Presi lent Taft made tht
first speech. He said in part:

and one who through his long anv
useful life has spared no effort* it

“As American citizens we are prou,
that his prominence In the churcl

which this rank is conferred In hi

With pardonable pride he points to
tho fact that Maryland under Catbo
lie control was among the first to
give complete religious tolerance.
"Nothing could more clearly show
the character of the man whose Ju

testimonial that this assembly is to

"In spite of the burden and re

many great movements ror tne netter
ment of mankind and has shown him
■self not only a good Catholic In the
churca sense but has been broadly
Catholic In the secular sense of that
word, so that the affection felt for
him by his oo-rellgionists has spread
to all denominations and to all ths
people who are quick to perceive a
disinterested friend.
“That he may long continue active
In his present high, position, that he
may continue in secu'ar movements
to take the high place he always has

fervent prayer of Catholic and protest

“1 am here,’’ the vice-president said
“to Hpeak for the greatest legislative
body in the world, and speaking for
them, to felicitate you upon this day
and occasion and to ofTer to you ou;
loyal respect and heartfelt good will.'
"While the American people may
differ among themselves on questions
of dogma,” Colonel Roosevelt said,
“they unite on what counts more
than dogma—conduct. We read now
and then about people complaining
that the churches are growing smaller
and that they are losing their influ

In the future if every church makes
as its cardinal principle the render

church will have to defend Itself so
long as those who are high In that
church devote themselves to the peo

devoted yourself to them.
“(We will see presidents who an
Catholics as well as presidents who
