Mayor gracefully acknowledged the

silk hat bowed repeatedly to the oc-
cupants Of the train. We do not note
this fact as an advertisement, but rs a
pleasure. BY strict attention to bu,i-

has built up a business of colossal
proportions, and is at present giving
employment to as great number OF
men, II not greater, than any private
individual In the country. Enterprise
is what We most admire, and whether
it comes from the railroads, mining or
