Samuel Hill of Washington state, in an address before the Good Road - Conven tion at the World's fa r at St. Louis, April 27 to 29, 1003, said "The cost of transportation on land (by .rail) is, cheaper in the - United States than anywhere . else in the world To iuuv a iuu of iriegut oue hundred miles in England costs $2.30, in Germany $2.00; in France $1.75; in Russia $1.80; j but to move a ton of freight a hundred mile in America costs on an average, only seventy-two cents.

About the fifteenth of May, I will have a fine assottment oi young ptime beef, which art now fattening. Do not for get that I now have as gqod fresh beet as ihere is on the market a-, well as fresh fish and poultry. Prompt Delivery Phone The city council is to be com mended in its action in refusing to grant a. lice,ne$ to party who has just had his license revok ed by the circuit court. This evidently will be the policy of the council in the future and it should be. The saloons are greatly to blame for the genera drift of public opinion against their business by not respecting the law of the land nor the laws of decency. At the present time there is one saloon in this city that gives a talking machine ex hibition several hoars "each evening. This draws a crowd and it is also drawing some thing more.
