The arch stands at the intersection
of Main and Granite streets. 1t is a.
double arch, rising from each of the
four corners crossing diagonally and
meeting in the center. Each arch,
stretches 80 feet. and in the center of
the street the height to the top of the
arch is 4S feet The arch is made of
lumber covered with white muslin, the
muslin being covered with black and
white drawing in imitation of relief
The contour of the arch is shown at
night by 500 red, white and blue electric
lights. A medallion and shield on the
sides of the arch give the names of the
various companies of the regiment and

each of the four corners are draped
flags with the shield of the state in the

WHEREVER we turn evidences ot restored prosperity confront us. One interesting outcome Of the restora- ton Of prosperity is the increased demand made by banks upon the Sub-Treasury for small change. Major John 2. TInnay, Assis tant United States Treasurer. at Phlla- delphia, stated some time since that banks which asked for only $50G in small bills in 1897 were now asking for $1, ,50O Or $2,000. The business done by the banks is a pretty sure indication of the industrial condi- ton Of the country. The increased demand by banks for accommoda- ton in the matter of small bills, the kind of money which is used in ordinary business transactions, is only another of the many straws which show in which way the wind Is blowing, now that We have once more put the policy of Protection in force.
