Consider well before you buy vegetables. Think
for a moment of how they are bought and kept. Vege
tables should be fresh and moist with the appearance
of having just come from where nature grew them.
That is, when they are well kept the way we keep
them.
This is the reason why all our vegetables look
as if they had just arrived with all that de
licious, fresh, natural flavor you like so well.
Anu we take good care that- not a moment is
lost in their delivery to you. Send-a trial order.
Some prices of the choicest and freshest stock in town:

Union Pacific Gets in the Game.
The Union Pacific has decided that if
a railroad is to be built west from Cal
laway to Gandy the Union Pacific will
build it. This is a decision that jvas
reached by tho directors of tho Union
Pacific company hold in New York on
the eleventh day of April, and at that
meeting the construction of the line was
authorized if tho people along the route
would donate tho right-of-way.
The decision of tho Union Pacific to
build this line was hastened by the en
orgy of Promoter Durant, who had prac
tically secured the promise of sufficient
bonds nnd subscriptions o build the
road. General Manager Mohler learned
of Mr. Durant's activity and invasion
of Union Pacific territory and at once
sent a man to guther up the details of
Durant's work Having secured this
Mr. Mohler took up the matter with
President Lovott, of the Union Pacific,
when tho latter was returning from
California last month, and upon reach
ing New York Mr. Lovett laid tho mat
ter before tho board of directors with
the result stated above.
Years ago the Union Pacific surveyed
a lino west from Callaway to a point a
few miles west of Gandy, the line run
ning abaut a mile and a half north of
that town. Yesterday a party of civil
engineers arrived at Callaway and this
morning started out to retrace this old
survey, and at the same time two othor
men left Callaway to secure the right-
of-way.
The Tribuno has direct Information
that the Union Pacific is not running
bluff : that It is in earnest in the
matter, and will build the road. Our
informant we blievo is reliable, and
it looks as though the people of Logan
county, after many Jyears of waiting,
are to have a railroad.
