pointed local counsel of the L. A.
W., and that gentleman is now

ization. The condemnation proceedings

inst., has been postponed until

The count' commissioners have
ordered thirty Fresno road scrapers
of the Western Wheel Scraper. Co.,
of Aurora, 111., at a cost of 522 each.
These tools, if industriously' used,
should result in an improvement to
the roads of the county.
Secretary Hoilingsworth, of the
Y. M. C. A., has secured Eli Per
kins to deliver a lecture in this city
on March, 16th. The subject will
probably be "Fun and Facts in
China and Japa.n." Eli is one of
the most noted lecturers of this
country and deserves a large aud
ience. Sam Funkhouser, the well
known farmer living near Hershey,
transacted business in town yester
day. Mr. Funkhouser put in seventy-five
acres of wheat last fall,
and will sow 125 acres more this
Spring. Taking one year with an
other, he considers wheat a fair
paying crop in this country.
It is said that a "pugilist"'
from Kansas City was imported by
a certain element this week for the
purpose of "pounding" a certain

the latter at once proceeded to

list in short order.

will sow 200 acres of wheat on his
farm southwest of Sutherland.
Since the present time card
went into effect last December
train No. 2 has not been stopping
at Hershey, and the people of that
section are complaining bitterly of
this seeming injustice. As much
as seventy-five cars of produce are
shipped from that station in a
mouth, and the people claim, and
rightly too, that by reason of these
shipments they are entitled to
better passenger, service. Did No.
2 stop at that place, the people
could come to this citv in the morn
ing, transact their business and
return in the evening on No. 1, but
as it is now they are compelled to
drive to this point. It is likely
the matter will be laid before the
state board of transportion.
It is no more than proper to
give the city administration credit
for keeping expenses within
the income during the present year;
.yet if a set of officers can be elected
who will conduct the affairs of the
city in such a manner as to pay all
bills contracted, and at the same
time reduce the floating indebted
ness, we" say amen. Considerable
business ability will be required to
conduct the affairs of the city prop
erly andf-at the same time reduce
the indebtedness, but we presume
theretare me"h" in the city who can
do it or at least are willing totry,
if given the opportunity. Hereto
iore many whp are classed . as our
most successful business men have
refused to accept nominations for
citr office's.
