So successful has an auto delivery company of Portland , Oregon , proved in Its work that similar compani' s are to be organized in Los Angeles , San Francisco and Seattle. These companies will bo capitalized at $25u- 000 each.

The three-day automobile race meet to bo held under the auspices of the Jacksonville Motor club on the At lantic Pablo beach , starting March 27 promises to be a great success.

Colome Times : These days In Trlpp one cannot pick up a newspaper with out finding some strenous condemna tion of the policy which makes of prac tlcally every new town a canine para disc. Carter nnd Winner seem afflict d in the same measure as Colome , where it is barely possible to cross a street without jumping over one or dozen curs. And probably the most vicious feature about It is the disgrace ful scenes enacted every day In the presence of women nnd children , scenes which have no place In a de cent community. Besides , there is al ways the danger that some ownerless mongrel may assail the passerby , par ticularly if he be not inclined to give the sidewalk to the dog and wade mud himself. We have a plethora of worth less curs and more seem to make this their homo every day. The street is no place for a dog vaudeville and Co lome and other towns should not per mit a show of such character. Ninety five percent dead would be about right on the dog question.
