ELECTRIC ROAD
TO THE NORTH.

The building Of the Urbana, Belle
fontaine and Northern Street Railway,
work upon which has been commenced
10 Bellefontaine, is according to the Ken
ton News, to be completed next fall q
year. This is- authentic, as q news re-
porter interviewed General Manager
Fred Green Ia Springfield and Mr..
Green gave him TO understand that
such was the case. The line from
BelIefontaine, however, Is TO be con-
nected with the d. s. and U. before the
line Is extended from the Logan county
capitol north.
Mr.. Green who is given credit for
being q man Of few words, promised
the Kenfon people that work would be
commenced on their line before the
snow was flying and that the work
would have been commenced ere this
had IL not been for the tangled condi-
tiou affairs In West Liberty where
there was some objection 70 the COM
pany useing the Main street.
The Urbana, Bellefontaine and North
ern line Is but part OF gaeat system
of electric lines that are being estab.
lished by the Appleyard syndicate and
which when COMPLETED will connect the
eastern, part Of the state with the west
ern, and the Ohio river with the great
lakes.
The probabilities are that the Ken
ton people will endure for the same
length Of time what the Urbana people
endured, that Is the sight Of rails and
ties on the streets but no crew TO put
them in place. Railroad construction
is necessarily . slow process and Mr..
Green's chief purpose is TO keep the
people waiting patiently.

Before the en.c,men. Of The willis

Before the enactment OF the Willis
law. Governor Nash went TO Secretary
of State Laylin and asked him to esti-
mate the probable receipts under the
proposed act, which levies tax Of lilo
of per cent. upon the subscribed or is
sued capital stock Of Ohio corporations.
Mr.. Laylin, with no record At all Of ex-
isting corporations, examined such data
as he had at hand, and, after q day or
two, told the Governor that the passage
of the bill would net the State about
sl00, 600 during the first year Of its
operation. In his report sent on Fri
day to the State auditor, Mr.. Lsylin
gave the official information that the
sum OF S425, IA .63 has been received in
fees paid under the law, and that the
full amount has been covered into the
State treasury. His calculation of four
months ago was q remarkable one.

THE HOME OF THE GODS
The Black Hills Country.

? The Black Hills, where the red man
made his last stand against civilization,
was named In Indian parlance Pa-Ha-
Sap-Pa-the Home Of the Gods. The
region Is justly so-called.
The hills from Q distance appear Q
deep blue; at closer view they are black,
because Of the growth covering than.
The scenery is wonderful! The tumult-
uous streams hurling themselves down
the hillsides are abundantly stocked
with trout. The scientist would End q
paradise there, the geologist heaven,
the miner an earth full Of precious
metals. Gold was first discovered In
July, 1874. near Custer City, by Mr.. N.
Ross. chief scout OF General Custer.
The Black Hills are said to be the
richest Klondike America has yet pro-
duced.
In the midst of the Black Hills Is
situated Hot Springs, the Carlsbad Of
America. The weather Is like summer
the larger part of the year-always
pleasant and healthful. As . health
resort Hot Springs is exceptional. The
health-giving properties Of its seventy
five springs are phenomenal. Sight
