THEY LIKE JUDGE BREWER
Venezuelans are Pleased With the
APPOINTMENT

New York. Feb. ia special from Car
acas. Venezuela, to the Herald. says:
In reference to the appointment of JUS
tice Brewer, of the United States supreme
court as a member of the Anglo-Vene-
zuelan arbitration tribunal, the general
opinion is that the choice is good one.
1t is argued in official circles that JUS
tice Brewer as head of the United States
boundary commission, acquired a pro-
found insight into the merits of the dis
pute. From this it is concluded that he
will naturally uphold the validity of the
claims of Venezuela to the contested
Guiana territory.

FORT RILEY CAR LINE.

line between Junction City and Fit. Ri

Junction City men that the capital was
provided for, and that nothing more
than the right of way and moral and
business support would be asked for
Junction City.
Another evidence is that the foreman
to have charge of construction has al
ready been engaged.

All cushions are made with a vertical

Practically every boat that is set
