A subscription paper has been start
ed among the business men to obtain
money to appropriate as prizes on
corn. The object is to give prizes on
Wednesday of each week for the best
loads Of corn placed on market here.
The first prize will consist Of 50 per
cent of the amount subscribed; the
second prize, 80 per cent; and the
third prize, 20 per cent. The inten.
tion is to open this system on October
23rd and close it on December 18th, a
series of nine prizes. Farmers will
act as judges Of the corn. This is a
good idea and both the farmers who
win the prizes and the town will be
benefited by it.

that for the month Of September
alone the total mileage of all Santa
Fe trains on this division aloae was
7O,424 miles. The greatest mileage in
any one day Of that month was 1856
miles. We find that the wages Of the
trainmen and enginemen for the
month Of September alone amounted
to about $1,000. A great part of this
money comes into circulation right
here in Wellington as this is the
home Of the greater number of the
men who receive these wages.
