Train Load of Machinery.

One of the most important shipments
of American machinery for export that
has ever been made from Cleveland, left
here on the Big -Four last night. The
shipment consists of train of thirty
cars loaded ith sugar machinery. The
train will 60 through solid to the coast.
1t will be delivered by the Big -Four at
Cincinnati to the Queen & Crescent
road. A vessel has been especially
chartered to take the shipment from the
coast to Honolulu. From there it will
be shipped to Kealia, in the interior.
Trainmaster Kinney of the Big Four
said yesterday that he expected the
train to made speed of forty miles an
hour over the Big Four. 1t will be run
special Connecting roads have been
wired to rush the train ,and it is thought
some record breaking time will be made.
The machinery was manufactured at
the Kilby Manufacturing Co.'S works.
They are establishing three plants at
Kealia for the Mckee Sugar Co. About
twenty or thirty more cars are to follow.
Altogether the machinery will cost
about 100000. This company has been
shipping such machinery to Hawaii for
several years, but this is the most i'm
portant shipment yet made. Foremen
will be sent from here to oversee the
work but native labor will be employed,

Of Successful Games by Overwhelming the
Opponents with Score Of 81 TO o.
The Alma college football men played
their last game of the season last Satur-
day, when they met All-Saginaw on the
Alma gridiron-the scene of many glor-
ious victories and honorable defeats.
Saginaw boasted that they had not been
scored against this season, and they
came confident Of victory. But they
had only TO line up against the Alma
invincibles to be undeceived. They
played hard fought game, and for the
first few minutes succeeded in holding
the home team in check, but within ten
minutes after the game began, Alma
had made one touchdown. and within
twenty. five minutes she had made three
goals. and Saginaw had not been able to
get the ball past Alma's twenty-five
yard line. Saginaw got the ball at times
on fumbles, but were unable to advance
it, loosing it as often on downs. Alma
line was unbreakable, the ends spoiled
Saginaw's passes, the backs did hard
tackling In offensive Alma pushed the
ball through Saginaw's line for ten, tf-
teen and twenty yards, and carried II
around the end for twenty five, thirty
and fifty yards gain. Every man of the
Alma team made star play, and the
team work was without reproach. Dur
ing the second half, Alma made three
touch downs, and kicked one goal, ano
only once or twice did Saginaw get the
ball past the center of the field. Score
stands, Alma, "a Saginaw o.
Thus closed the most successful cam
paign that Alma men have ever expert
enced it has given Alma college prom
inent place among the colleges of Michi
gan in athletic achievements, as Alma
has already been recognized among th'
first in intellectual and religious attain
ments.
| This series of victories reflects muci
credit upon manager, coach and men
and has won glory and prestige for Almi
college.

\ ~Ear.Reacninn Decision.

KANSAS CITY. Mo. June 21-JuGge
Philips has rendered a decision il the
United States Circuit court which. il
upheld. viii invalidate hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth OF tax
bills in Missouri. /; will relieve thou
sands of property owners. against
whom tax bills for street improvement
have been issued. from paying them,
and will result in an immense loss to
contractors or who else may hold
these tax bills.
The decision is in the ca>e of Fay
and others against the city Of Spring
field. No. and Myrick, a contractor.
brought in the Springfield division of
Judge Philips court. In the opinion
the court declares the Missouri State
law authorizing cities and towns to
assess the cost of opening. paving or
re-paving streets against the owners
of abutting property. apportioning
the whole cost on tie number of front
feet. I be unconstitutional.
This i the law under which all this
class of work in st. Louis. Kansas
City and other cities and towns of the.
State is done.
Judge Philip, himself said today
that the effect OF the decision would
be 10 invalidate all the tax bills for
opening, paving and r~epavin= streets
issued before June IL. The e>sen1e Of
Judge Philips opinion - this.
~ statute of this State authorizes
municipalities. cities and towns, 20
assess the cost OF opening. paving
and r~e-paving streets against The
owners of abutting property. appor-
tioning the whole cost on the front
feet. without regard 70 the fact that
some of the abUttin- property re-
ccives greater benefit FROM The work
than other property.
The theory of the law upon which
such assessments are made. he says.
i that the benefit of the Work i re-
ceived by the owners OF the abutting
property a distinguished from the
city at large. and that unless all the
benefit of street work rebounds to
abutting prOperty-owners this statute
i unfair. Neither does the State of
Missouri rive any property owner an
opportunity 20 he heard i'll protest.
