East Washington Avenue Opened Yesterday. After a delay of over two months, East Washington avenue was yesterday opened to traffic, and citizens living in the eastern part of Argenta can now drive under. the railroad tracks instead of around the river road, as formerly.

This danger caused the city to take action in the matter, which led to the construction of a viaduct, which is nearly completed.

While the street Is now open to traffic, work on the placing of steel beams will not be completed for some time. Temporary supports, however, have been erected to hold the tracks in position until the steel work is completed. NORTH SIDE NOTES.

enta. NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY HALL May Force Street Railway Company to Extend Line. Mayor Lenon, Superintendent of Public Works Kingsley and Alderman Hollis of the Fourth ward yesterday made an examination of the grading done on Thirteenth and Lewis streets, preparatory to deciding upon what action shall be taken upon the failure of the Little Rock Tra.ction and Electric Company to extend its Highland Park line, as it agreed to do when the streets had been. graded, not to exceed 3 per cent. The company has complained that the streets are not in shape to lay the tracks, chiefly that the street is not wide enough at certain points where the grade is high.

The members of the Inspecting party stated that no conclusion would be reached until a conference is held with Alderman Sherry of the Fourth ward, who was unable to accompany them yesterday, but it is believed that the committee will take action to require the company to lay its tracks as provided in its agreement with the city. Mayor Lenon stated that the streets seemed to him to be graded properly and to be in satisfactory condition. If the city officials should decide that the road is not properly graded it will be necessary for the city or the property holders to do the work necessary before the company can be forced to extend its tracks. If the street is believed to be in good shape, steps will be taken to require the company to fulfill its agreement. The property holders have already raised and expended about $1,200 in making the grade.

The company agreed to extend its Highland Park line on Thirteenth street from Highland Park west Lewis street and north on Lewis street to Eighth street. It is probable that a further conference will be held today and a decision reached as to what course shall be followed by the city. C. E. Swink, who has the contract for the curbing and gutters on West Third: street, has begun the work of removing the old curbing preparatory to starting the work on the new curbs and gutters, of which there will be about 7,500 feet.

meeting will probably be held some time this week by the officials. of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail rond to discuss the question of Little Rock freight, rates and consider the charges which have been made by shippers of this city that the railroads are discriminating against Little Rock in the matter of freight rates. This information was contained in a letter received yesterday by President George W. Rogers of the Little Rock Board of Trade from J. F.

Holden, freight traffic manager of the Rock Island. Mr. Holden declared, in his letter, that if the company should decide to apply the Arkansas commissioners' basis of rates to Little Rock it would be practically impossible not to do the same to points west and south of Little Rock, and that he thought this would rob Little Rock of some of its business, as the city already has a very low commodity carload rate, and higher less-than-carload rates to points west and south of Little Rock from Memphis. He stated that he was under the impression that the jobbing interests of Little Roek did not feel that they were discriminated against in rates from Memphis to points south and west of Little Rock, as the less-than-carload rates from that territory are on 8 basis which permits Little Rock to do business--that is, to ship in carloads and reship in less than car loads. President Rogers of the board of trade, in reply to Mr.

Holden's letter, declared that the rates from Memphis to local than the commissioners' tariff, points in 'Arkansas are lower, per mile, and that the present tariffs in effect over the Rock Island, as well as over the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern, are discriminative against Little Rock, and, in fact, against every other center in the state. As an illustration he showed that the Rock Island carries the same rate on canned goods from Memphis A8 far west as Magazine, 112 miles west of Little Rock, as is in effect from Memphis to Little Rock proper, and that the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern carries the same rate from Memphis 88 far south 88 Prescott, ninety-seven miles below Little Rock, as is in effect to Little Rock proper. He asserts that this cannot be based upon the Arkansas commission rate.

Mr. Rogers declares that there has not been a time since the present tariffs were issued that Little Rock jobbers have not complained, of the discrimination against favor of Memphis. He says that when the present rates out of Little Rock were issued, which are the Arkansas commission tariff rates, the carload rates into Little Rock were much lower on nearly every commodity they are today, but that if the in bound rates had been allowed to remain as they were in 1900, when the Arkansas commissioners' tariff was issued, the Little Rock shippers would not have as much cause for complaint. General Freight Agent Morrison of the Rock Island held a conference Tuesday with A. R.

Bragg, manager of the Little Rock Merchants' Freight Bureau, and number of jobbers, and it is understood that the latter informed Mr. Morrison that they intended to secure relief through the railroads if possible, but if not successful there, they would have recourse to other means. Some definite plan of action is expected to result from two meetings which will be held in Little Rock next Tuesday. A. R.

Bragg yesterday issued for 8 conference of jobbers of the city, to be held Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, to cOnsider the complaints of shippers against the railroads, and the transportation committee of the board of trade will meet Tuesday afternoon to consider the same matter. "After these meetings it is expected that conference will be beld with the railroad officials. Further News of Gould-Harriman Agreement. The Gould-Harriman alliance, to which reference has been made, means the close affiliation of the Gould system with the Union Pacific lines and the suspensionif not abandonment--of certain Gould to plans the Pacific coast. Mr.

Harriman and Mr. for extending the Missouri Pacife Gould are understood to have settled the important points of this alliance while abroad, and there is also authority for the statement that the alliance has the cordial' approval of W.

Both the Harriman and Gould systems will have independent lines to the Atlantic coast. Friends of Vanderbilt say that he has taken an interest in the Harriman-Gould alliance mainly for the purpose of securing amicable relations between the Eastern community of interest, which he helped to establish, and the newformed Western community of interest.

Iron Mountain Trouble on White River Branch Tunnels.

Specjal to the Gasette. Harrison, Aug. There was another landslide last week at the entrance to tunnel on the new White River branch of the Iron Mountain, twenty miles north of here. So great was the slide that it is estimated that It will cost the company $40,000 to clear it away. It also prevents work at the west end of the tunnel until It is removed.

This tunnel has been one of the worst and most expensive plecea of railroad work ever encountered by any company. This tunnel is 2.000- feet 10he. and it is estimated will cost the company more than $400.000. It has been' mud and loose rock most of the way, which necessitates timbering and cementing.
