Tho Last Kennedy Well.

Oar informant auent the last
Kennedy we'll, mentioned in the last
issue of The Caller, was misinform.
ed as to the flow, which was given
as much greater than it really is.
The we'll, however, is a big one,
flowing over eighty gallons min
ute, the water pure and fresh. The
well, which is $50 feet deep, is on
ly afew miles from the coast aud
right in among a lot of salt lakes,
which goes to show that the
theory, that the nearer the salt
water, the deeper you have to
bore for fresh water is wrong.
Mr.. Kennedy, who left for his ranch
yesterday, is delighted with his
success IN obtaining flowing wells
in the lower country and he doesn't
expect to stop boring until he gets
many more of them. -Corpus

Holyoke ia city about the size of FL
Paso and located at the foot of Mt.
Tom In Western Massachusetts,, with
the Connecticut river as it's eastern
boundary line. M. Tom is reached by
a railway similar to the Cloudcroft
line, and from its summit may be seen
places familiar to every reader of
history and to every student OF geo.
graphy.
Near by are Mt. Holyoke and Mt.
Nonotuck. Seventy miles to the north
west the Berkshire range is plainly
dtscernible. Greylock, towering high
above the other eminences, is easily
distinguished. Monadnock and
Wachusett lie to the eastward and by
the aid OF telescope the capitol dome
and grounds at Hartford, Conn.,, aud
West Rock in New Haven, Is miles
away, may be seen. The smoke can be
seen curling up from the factories Of
Holyoke, Springfield, Northampton,
Chicopee, Westfield and dozen small
towns.
From the observatory of the hotel
on Mt. Tom one may see Smith College
at Northampton, the Amherst Agri-
cultural College at Amherst, Mt.
Holyoke College at South Hadley,
Wesleyan academy at Wilbraham aud
Williston academy at East hampton.
When telescope is called into play
new world Is opened to the sight
seer. The historic old church on Mt.
Orthodox In West Springfield appears
scarcely stones throw away, and the
time of day is readily distinguished on
the town clock at Southampton, seven
miles distant. AT Springfield, fifteen
miles away, the flag may be seen float

Eight miles below Springfield the mar

How a Chamber Of Commerce Was Built

THE STENOGRAPHER OF THE SECRETARY.

streets that W. 81. Ross, leading ner-
chant and secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, had been killed in a bicycle
collision the night previous almost
under the lights of his own home.
Ben was acquainted with Marshal
Whitcomb, Alex. McAusland, Ohio r.
Brown, W. J. Mills and other mer-
chants and public men of the city, and
as some of them knew of the expert
fairs in Louisville, Baltimore and New
York, they intimated to him that if he
would accept the secretsryship of the
chamber they would favor the holding
of a merchants Week" and support the
en- terprise literally, besides rewarding
him for his work.
The efforts of the business men Of
Holyoke to keep life in the chamber
and build it up until is became really
useful institution of the city, had re-
suited just about the same as similar
efforts have resulted in Ell Paso, Fort
Worth and other Texas cities; and Ben,
who had succeeded in making such insti-
tutions useful and who was always ready
to tackle hard proposition to please
his friends, accepted the secretsryship.
I had always been anxious to know
just how Ben builtand moved his great
campaigns, how he wheeled men and
| committees into line and made every
| intricate detail connect, and I deter
mined to act as his stenographer in this
campaig n and watch every movement.
The Chamber of Commerce occupied
three rooms in the Tilley Building-a
reception room facing High street and
the city hall, a middle room and rear
room. The rear room WAS used to
store odds and ends in and the middle
room was Ben's workshop. Through q
little persuasion induced Ben to allow
me to carry the keys of the rear room,
one door of which opened into the mid
die room and another door into the
hall, and begged that he would look as
innocent as an owl if he heard . preco-
cious youngster letting himself into
the rear room while meetings of the
committees were being held in the
other room.
"I'm bound to know how you work
up these campaigns" said: "every
detail, all the points. And I want to
hear you talk at the meetings. 1 have
never beard your snappy little talks,
you know. Nown' and 1 looked into
his eyes.

gestionsp' quizzically and with smile.

"Then shall leave you In charge
here for an hour. The first step in ell
of these campaigns is to feel the pulse
of the press. If the newspapers push
the affair with vigor, success is assured
in advance; If they are lukewarm,
success is problem. The Holyoke
press Is with us-I am not so sure
about the Springfield newspapers. 1

Ben left me in charge of the rooms
and went down to the Holyoke Office of
the Springfield Republican.

"Are you with US, Mr.. Sellew?" he
asked, after stating the object of his
call.
The Republican is q conservative
paper, as all America knows, and Ben
received exactly the answer he ex-
pected: "The Republican will give
the actual news of the enterprise,
without fear or favor"
''That's all right; thank you"
Then he went to Mr.. Jones, the
Holyoke representative of the
Springfield Union.
Gail the space you can use," said
Reporter Jones, and Miss Josie Sulli-
van, a little mouse of a girl who was
just beginning newspaper life, added:

tits q success, Davy," he said,
'paper and ink are with US: and now,"
with wrinkles on his brow, 1.-THE next
thing Is to get the flesh and. blood Of
the city into line. The men of
Holyoke have never conducted any
sort OF celebration bigger than
Fourth of July jubilee you tell me,
and there is, therefore, heap of work
to do to set up all the necessary COM
mites. The membership of the
chamber is now less than half q hun.
dred-the first thing to do is to double
or treble that membership. I must &C
cordingly draft program and make it
big enough-yet not too big-to pull
every citizen into the chamber. It has
been my experience that the best way
to build up an association, particularly
an association of business men
of any kind, is to rally every man
around some sort of an enterprise. So
you just 20 down to Blaisdell's, Davy,
get a lunch and leave me alone for q
whole hour. If you see Reporter
Jones on the street send him here"
Obeying Ben's command, 1 found
Mr.. Jones talking with Dick HERE,
the German barber, and delivered the
m essage.
AS it is my purpose to unfold to the
hundreds of cities and towns that are
ambitious to hold and increase their
trade and prestige, the way to do it,
and the way as we'll to get before the
world all their advantages for the
location Of homes and the investment of
capital. I will wesvein every minute de-
tail of Ben's six weeks campaign, aided
by Editors Dwight and Sullivan, of the
Holyoke Transcript and Democrat
respectively; Reporter Sellew. of the
Springfield Republicans; Reporter
Jones. OF the Springfield Union, and
little Miss Josie.
These newspaper folk reported the
campaign with such fidelity that I
ehall draw largely on the reports of
their pens, simply weaving in myself
the minute details which escaped every
eye but my own.
1t is in minute details-not in broad
propositions-shat success lies, and
Merchants Week in Holyoke was the
most brilliant affair of the kind ever
held in New England.

THE WHEELS VIII NOT LEY FROM TIE GROUND.

Marion Counties, mo-, have to-

Champion Draw Cut Mower and
testify over our signatures that
you did everything you propos-
ed to do in your hand bill and
more. The wheels will not lift
when Il heavy resistance is
put against the bar, such as
cutting tough grass would
cause them to do, neither is
there any tendancy for the
driver to be pitched over head
first on the heels Of the team
when the cutter bar comes up
against a stump.
Your cutter bar can be
brought forward in line with
the pitman and kept there,
when the outer shoe goes back
out of line as all Mower bars
will do after a few years of use,
and 1t was proved to us conclu-
sively that the Champion has
