THE FREE LIST
THE BEST MEDIUM.

At meeting of the advertising
agents of all the railroads west of
Chicago, held yesterday in the
Windy City, it was unanimously
agreed that newspapers are the
best advertising mediums, and in
view of this it was agreed that dur
ing the coming year they would
place nine-tenths of their adver-
tising in the daily newspapers of
the West.
The men who handle the adver-
tising of large railroad corpora
tions are men of keen business
ability and tact, and who are ever
experimenting. During the past
five years every conceivable meth
cd of advertising has been tried
by these men, and they are finally
forced to the conclusion that news
paper advertising is the best meth
cd to pursue.
If it is true of railroads it is al
so true of every other line of bust
ness. The daily paper brings the
matter before its readers in the
home, or in the office, and cannot
fail to reach the attention of those
for whom it is intended. The
daily paper is the most valuable
advertising medium because it
brings the quickest and most COM
plete returns

AN AMERICANS ENERGY WINS

A tribute to American energy in
darkest Africa is paid by General
Kitchener. He had need of a
modern bridge across the Atbara
and so informed his government,
which in turn notified the English
bridge builders. They set them
selves to figuring when and at
what cost such bridge could be
constructed. Then followed a
long silence, interrupted at last by
the announcement that the order
could be filled in about eighteen
months. Kitchener wired> back
that he had immediate need of the
bridge. The British war office
then asked who could furnish one
and in response an American
stepped forward.
1t is this that induced Lord
Kitchener to remark: "As English
men failed, l am delighted that
our cousins across the Atlantic
stepped in. This bridge is due to
their energy, ability and power to
turn out works of magnitude in
less time than any ybody else. |
congratulate the Americans on
their success in the erection of
bridge in the heart of Africa"
And we'll he might. What his
own people were unable to provide
him he got through American
sources promptly and to his COM
plete satisfaction. Denver Post.

most important office to be filled on

the county are concerned. This
office touches the welfare of the tax

ship should enter into the question.

not already announced himself seek
INN out and elect him. Better have
none at all than an incompetent one
