Everything has been provided right here

And we want to impress our people
especially our wealthy citizens this
fact.
1t is only right that our merchants
should be encouraged and rewarded for the
enterprise and expenditure in bringing
everything right to our own doors.

1t is time to stop going away to spend

There has been too much of it in the past

There was land slide at the south en-
trance to tunnel No. 6, about six miles north
of Glendale, last Monday night. 1t has
proved quite an annoyance to the railroad
company, whose employees are doing their
best to remove the obstruction. The ap-
proaches to this tunnel are quite high and
steep and the work of removing the dirt
seems somewhat like the Augean stable job,
as fast as the debris Is thrown out more
comes down. The passenger train was
three hours late on Tuesday and one hour
behlnd on Wedne sday morning at this place
The transfer from one train to the other is
of course, sufficiently lnconvenient to travel.
However, the workmen are indefatigable in
their efforts and no doubt III short tina
they will have the track clear again.
