sentative of their number, are highly
elated at the prospect. Enthusiasm
even greater than was expected is ap-
parent on all sides. Business men are
taking hold Of the project with all the
earnestness which made the early car
niyals so grandly successful, and among
the citizens generally Is evinced an in

who have made arrangements to sup
ply uniforms are already convinced by

organized. 1eI
