"This grading waa completed last sum

grading will be continued on weatward
during the coming summer. That portion
which was graded laat year will be settled
aufflolently this summer to receive the sec

the earliest possible data that it Is thought
safe to put them down. When the rails
ara laid in this district and soma of ths
other short gaps are closed up we will bars
about 130 miles of continuous double track

find that with other short stretches this

quietly that few people are fn miliar with

pnb ions to Address Big Bsllr.
ALL CANDIDATES WiLL BE PRESENT
Several Meetings Are Schednled and
Campaign Opens Lively and with
Good Slgaa of Republican
Success.
The subcommittee of the republican city
committee appointed to make arrangements
for meetings reported yesterday that the
Workman Templo hnd been engaged for
a big rally on Friday night, March 25. It
Is understood thnt Invitations will be Is
sued to Hon. John L. Webster and other
prominent republicans to address this meet
ing. All of tho candidates are expected to
be present. This will bo tho first big rally
of the campaign.
Other meetings arranged so far are Tues
day evening, March 22, at Twenty-seventh
and J streets. March 28 a rally at Kout
sky's hall. In Brown park. March 27 at
the new hall, Thirty-sixth and U streets.
Friday night, April 1, there will be a rally
at Workman Temple. At this meeting a
number' of woll known speakers will de
liver' short addresses and then give way
to the candidates. The republicans appear
to be gaining enthusiasm every day and
big turnouts at all of tho meetings men
tioned are expected. In addition to the
meetings slated, republicans gather at the
headquarters, Sit North Twenty-fourth
street, every evening and talk over the
situation. From reports' given out at
headquarters the prediction is made that
the entire republican ticket will be elected.
Will Ooat Money.
The coming spring election will -cost con
siderable money for judges and clerks, to
say nothing of ths rental of suitable quar
ters, lights and heat. Esven judges and
clerks are assigned to each of the twelve
voting precincts In tha city. The munici
pality pays each judge and clerk U per
day. Ths School Board pays ths same
under tho law and with the special county
bond election on the same win be paid so
that all judges and clerks will receive (9
each for their work on election day. This
will make a total of 1756. The county will
pay Its portion, ths School Board the same,
but the city will be called upon to pay
tho regular price and then the cost of
renting rooms. While the county clork has
designated tha places for holding the
county bond election the locations do not
agree with the Ideas of the city officials.
The inference is that the county will come,
to some understanding with the city and
that the voting in each precinct will be
done at one place.
Mayor Koutsky sold lost night the city
officials were having considerable trouble
In finding suitable places centrally located
for the voting. All of the locations will
be published ln the mayor's proclamation,
whluh will be Issued ln a few days.

PostofHce Honrs.
Commencing today the general delivery
and carrier windows will be open from 11 :S0
a. m. until 12:90 p. m. This change has been
made by Postmaster Etter for the purpose
of giving the public better serylce on Sun
days. When the windows were opened from
noon until 1 p. m. the lobby was crowded.
By ths new arrangement the postmaster
says that business men will be able to get
their mall before ths rush comes. The
keeping open of ths stamp and registry
windows an hour later each evening tends
to not only accommodate the public, but
also to Increase the receipts of the office.
