A MOVABLE STATION.
The Trouble Experienced in Locating
One at Highland Park,

The people of Highland Park are ex-
periencing some difficulty in securing
the location of their station on the cross
road in convenient position. 1t was
located at first in quite central posi-
ton. Then DR.. Allen carried petition
to Captain Cross numerously signed by
parties who the DOCTORS enemies say
are located in Garvanza, praying for the
location of the station near DR.. Aliens
place. The station was accordingly
changed to the desired location, and
other residents of this delightful subur-
ban place were astonished to find them
selves set down almost on the border
line between there and Garvanza. The
removal of the station was compar-
atively trifiing affair, by the way, as it
consisted merely in pulling up post
with the "station" sign nailed to it and
its conveyance to another place and
planting it anew.
Another petition was in order, this
time from the indignant citizens who
had quarter OF a mile walk from the
amiable doctors house to their homes
through the change of the past. Cap
tain Cross heard the delegation, which
presented the petition, and, with an eye
to profit, offered to locate the station
wherever the petitioners wished it il
they would supply the lumber for a
platform. To this the delegation agreed,
subscription was started, and yester-
day the lumber for a thirty-four-foot
platform, railing and seats, was hauled
out from the city, and when the genial
doctor returned home in the evening he
was set down ON a new platform, To-
Gated about in the center of the tract
! just below the Highland Park Villa, and
had to walk through a barley patch and
q Chinese garden to reach his peaceful
fireside. But the station question is
settled.
