 Colon, Dec. 7.-FolIowing instructions received December from the navy de- partment at Washington United States gunboats on both sides of the isthmus have started or are starting on recon noitering expeditions along the coast, principally in the direction of Colombia, for the purpose of ascertaining the con- ditions of the trails and roads between Panama and Colombia frontiers, the fa- cilities of the country for sustaining ex- petitions marching on Panama and to generally determine the United States best course of action in case of Colonl- bian invasion of the isthmus, and also to learn the attitude of the various h. dian tribes inhabiting both coasts. The United States cruiser Atlanta has gone to San Bias for this purpose and prob ably will continue to the gulf of Darien. Another vessel will be sent to San Mi- guel. on the Pacific. and third to David, also on the Pacific, but towards Costa Rica. to look over the local con- ditions at Chiriuui and make a show of force, if it is thought necessary, and study the possibility of Colombia's landing small. schooner expeditions at Chiriqui from southern points. The Panamaian authorities are aiding these efforts. They have sent out several parties on both sides of the isthmus to IA fah Tsncsih1p movements on the part of Colombia. One such party was sent out from Colon in small sloop, which was prob ably lost near Mearmar on the San Bias coast.
 Efforts are being made by these Pan- arnaian parties to cover the Atlantic coast so far as the gulf of Darien in the mouth of the Atrato river, which is i; in Colombian territory.

Stratford Star.
We cannot too strongly urge
upon our people the Importance
of taking immediate steps to
properly advertise Sherman
county, What we want and
must have is a thorough and
systematic advertising cam
paign, such as other communl'
ties are taking advantage of.
There is not citizen of the
COUNTY but that would be bene-
fitted by the settling up OF the
country and hence all should
feel deep interest in this mat
ter. The Star has, at all times,
done everything that we could
to promote the interests of the
county and we are preparing to
continue to do so on a larger
and better scale. We believe
that the best way to advertise a
country is through the paper on
the ground.
The above from the Stratford
Star is exactly in line with what
the News thinks on the same
subject There are many ways
to get the merits of any partlcu-
lar section before home seekers
but the beSt is undoubtedly
through the medium of the local
paper. That much depends up
on the merits OF the paper itself
is admitted, but this point OF
excellence in what has been not
improperly called the "local
index" is largely controlled by
the patronage such newspaper
receives. The editor OF
country paper, no matter no"
we'll fitted by nature, education
and experience he may be tor
the conduct of his sheet, he can
not give it proper attention
make it good newspaper--lt
he be forced by lack of patron
age, to do all the drudgery OF
his printshop in addition to his
numerous other duties. AS a
general rule newspapers and es-
pecially local papers are just
what the community in which
they live or try to live, would
have them to be-good, bad, or
Indifferent. If of the first
named order, and of such we
deem the Star, every copy OF 1t
sent abroad is the 'best" adver-
tisement at the price its town
and county can offer.

If the Panhandle towns would

for actual settlers and less for

fare much better. Amarillo, for
instance, has secured several
roads, yet the large pastures
run right into the town and the
farmer is excluded. Railroads
do not help towns much. The

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1903-07-18
THE SANDS ESTATE
And Its Recent Purchaser-A
Sketch of Aaron L.
Goodman.

As briefly stated In the CAPITAL. the
large block OF property fronting about
slxty -hve feet on Main street and fifty
SIX feet on Market Space, and embracing
four storerooms and dwelling, was sold
at public auction on Thursday 10 Mr..
Aaron L. Goodman for So. .6So 90.
For several reasons speculation ran
high as to the possible purchaser or pur-
chasers. and the sum total the noted
Sands estate would realize. Reports were
current that a number OF Baltimore mer-
chants and brewers were negotiating for
the estate and their fabulous offers were
warmly discussed. The sale, therefore.
took on very interesting aspect, and
the attendance OF interested and disinler-
ested business and professional men was
quite large and representative.
The bidding at first seemed slow, but
soon Il became lively and animated. when
finally the entire property was sold for
the snug little sum. as stated, TO the
highest bidder-Mr. Goodman. So much
Tor the purchase. Now Tor brief sketch
OF the successful purchaser.
Mr.. Aaron L. Goodman, who is now
coming along toward his thiTlieth mile
stone, is the son OF MIR. and Mrs. n.
Goodman, OF this city. In his youth he
was a student In theology and preparing
for the ministry, when an instinct and
inclination for the business world asserted
itself and he entered in the now large
business of his brother. Abram Good
man, in Laurel, Del. He remained there
until the fan OF 1895 when. coming here
on a visit to his parents. he located in
business at the corner of Market Space
and Cornhill street, where he established
reputation for integrity and enterprise.
Al hrst struggling, due TO rather modest
means and hard times, but finally re-
warded with success for endurance, toll
and reliability. Mr.. Goodman has been
doing business at the same stand for
nearly eight years, but his business has
developed to such proportions that the
once large and commodious siore-room
is now utterly inadequate for the conduct
OF his extensive business.
Mr. Gcodman's ultimate plans are to
erect on the site he purchased a modern
extensive building for the conduct OF a
first class up-to-date department store,
that will complete the already impressive
business square in the "Broadway" of
Annapolis. 1t is worthy to note. by the
way. that Mr.. Goodman Is believer OF

and attributes par. OF his success TO COM

columns OF the local press. adv.
