One of the Company's experienced me

and immediately begau work on the
erection of the same. The machine Is
now In operation, and Editor Edson
expects to give his readers a paper
printed from slugs this week. Hereto

"chase the hell box for sorts" and let

City Buys New Road Drag
Guy Barnes, the genial conductor
on the City Water Wagon may be seen
on the streets of tho, city now days
driving a new vehicle, which is olassed
under "road drags".
The said vehicle arrived In our city
recently and after careful consider
ation Guy decided just what It was
and immediately began the task of as
8emblingthc many (?) parts.
Two Important points were taken In
to consideration by tho city 'dads"
when making .the purchase: the simple
manner in which it is constructed and '
me met imu out one team win uo re
quired to draw it. We have not learn
ed what manufacturing firm is re
sponsible for this new addition to our
street cleaning and repairing depart
ment, or its coat, but judging from Its '
appearance we are of the tho opinion
that Us purchase will not bankrupt tho
city purse.
If the demonstration Guy has been
making tho past few days is an ex
ample of the work it will do we may
look forward to heeing the streets of
our fair city in the best of condition
in the future.

Samuelson Issues Statement
In this morning's World Herald the
following statement was made by Sen
ator C. E. Samuelson iu regard to his
opposition on the first prohibition bill
which was Introduced In the bouse of
representatives and after several
amendments were made by tho Senate
it now has became a law.
"Au examination of the house bill and
the senate committee amendments dis
closes that this body has done its full
duty, The house bill was hastily
drawn imperfect in its provisions, un
certain in its definitions, extreme in
Us regulations, aud in somo thinss
silly and senseless.
When that bill came to this body its
friends Insisted that It was so porfeot
that no amendments should be made
to it. The house has now agreed to
over half of the amendments proposed
by this body, which amendments have
materially changed tho bill. In ad
dition to this, the house has deadlock
ed the conference committee for many
days In order to make amendments to
its own bill, thoreby proving that tho
friends of that bill who Insisted that
tt should not be amended either were
deliberately trying to mislead this
body or were ignorant as to what was
contained in tho bill. Tho house at
tempted to pass a drastic and sumptu
ary law, which forbade o person to
have liquor in his own home for per
sonal use. One of the senate amend
ments corrected this important defect.
The house bill was not in keeping with
either tho constitutional amendment
or the arguments made In favor of this
amendment last fall. The most im
portant defects have been corrected by
the senate amendments, and by the
adoption of tho majority report of the
conference committee we will have a
workable and reasonably satU factory
law. I vote aye."
