hour act.

Major Daily, superintendent of
water works, and who has put in the
last quarter of a century in railway
| service, has had all that he desires of
a political life and will now give his
| attention to commercial and more sta
! Bile pursuits. He has purchased all
right and title to the large outfit en-
gagged in hauling limestone from Emil
| grafton canyon to the Germania smell
| ter This consists of forty-four head
of horses, twenty-three sets of double
harness and sixteen freight wagons.
Aside from this outfit, the major had
nine freight wagons, and altogether
makes a good holding for such pur-
| poses. He already owned a half inter-
| est and offered to sell out falling to
do so, he bought the remaining half
| interest from T. r. Jones for a cash
consideration of 81, 800. Headquarters
will be maintained at Ninth East and
Eleventh South, where a blacksmith
shop will be erected, and thirty acres
OF pasture land belonging to w. S.

for corral. There are those who claim
that the major is content to now plod
along patiently and look on while pol
iticians have it out among themselves
