A WISE MOVE.

The Chamber OF Commerce idea is
growing in popularity among the fore
most business men of the city, and it
Ia a hopeful sign. The need of such
an organization in Florence was never
10 great as now. Possibilities in the
line Of its operations are more far
reaching than many of us can realize.
AS an example of what Chamber
Of Commerce does for city, Salida
may be cited. The big smelter at
that place WAS located in Salida as a
direct result of the efforts of the
Chamber OF Commerce, ard it is a
question with the doubt on the other
side. whether it could not have been
secured for Florence if an organized
effort had been made in that direction
That is only one of many instances
that might be named, showing the
value of organization of progressive
citizens for the advancement of city.
Let's form good, strong Chamber
of Commerce.

Should Have Their Own Oil.

The recent advance of petroleum
makes the price higher than it has
been for years. The crude oil has ad-
yanced at the rate Of two and three
cents day. with prospects tor still
higher prices. Certainly there was
never better outlook for the oil in
dustry, and this should stimulate
prospecting where the symptoms"
are as abundant as they are in the La
Jara oil fields. Between La Jara and
Romeo there are many square miles
of land saturated with the seepage of
petroleum that the water of irriga-
tion has raised. 1t makes the sur
face appear brown and can be seen
floating on the water AS a scum that
can be gathered with blankets. The
surface we'll at the plant of the Cone
jos County Oil company shows quite
lot of crude oil aud indicates that
doubtless the well is properly located
1t is hoped the necessary means will
soon be raised to resume work which
has been temporarily suspended
through lack of funds 1t behooves
the people Of this vicinity to encou
rage the enterprise and see that the
well is put down; for if producer il
found it will mean more for the south
ern end of the valley than any thing
else now in sight. 1t would bring
capital and enhance the value of all
real property by several hundred per
cent.
People would flock in and times
would be much better than ever known
here We know there is oil here in
great abundance and it is only mat
ter of finding it.-La Jara Chronicle.

Rock Islands Chicago Station.

On July 18th the palatial LaSalle
street station in Chicago. the most
centrally located-in the heart of the
city-and which exceeds in beauty and
perfection of appointments anything
ever before attempted, was opened to
the public aud trains OF the Rock
Island system, Lake Shore and Nickel
Plate railways began its use.
The commodious train shed, into
which trains enter from the suburbs
on elevated tracks, insures handling of
trains with safety, and without delay
or annoyance to passengers. A large
domed waiting room, with white
marble walls. an deliberately arranged
lounging room for women. smoking
and lounging room for men. and a
cafe and lunch room are provided on
the train floor, while the ground floor
| is used for ticket offices, restaurant,
baggage room, and large general
waiting room.
A particular feature of this station.
which ia found nowhere else, is that
all elevated trains in Chicago stop at
the doors. and passsgewsy from the
train floor to the elevated railway
platform, avoids the necessity of des-
cending and climbing stairs in order
to take the train. This is particu-
larly important III view of the fact
that elevated trains so thoroughly
reach every section of Chicago.
Every contrivance known to modern
railway station architecture has been
made use of, with result that
patrons of the lines using this termi
nal have at their disposal the very
hest facilities provided by any rail.

FINE HOTEL AND CAFE

Mr.. c. G. Brockway expresses some
surprise that the Schlitz beer people
are going to erect a building on his
lot at the corner of Main street and
Second avenue without having said
word to him about it, especially in
view of the fact that he contemplates
the erection of a building on the site
himself at an early date.
1t is Mr.. Brockway's present inten,
ton to erect a handsome three or
four-story hotel building. to be con.
structed especially for conducting a
hotel and cafe on the European plan
and right up to date The site is
where the Elks saloon is located.
The building will have a frontage
OF thirty feet on Main street, and run
back 120 feet on Second avenue. An
l. will be built, with a frontage of
twenty feet on Second avenue
and running back 154 feet. There
will be an entrance on Main and an.
other on Second avenue The build
ing, interior plans and furnishings
will be on the order Of the leading
European hotel OF Memphis 1t will
be elegantly furnished. and strictly
UP to date in every department.
The Brookhill hotel is en- the same
plan though on smaller scale. arc
It is proving a success. and there *
no reason why Mr.. Brockway's ven

ELECTRIC FIRE
ALARM
SYSTEM NEEDED

city needs an
electric fire alarm system-one that
will record an alarm perfectly, and
without the possibility of mistakes
that are made by the present tele-
phone system. Under the present
system the person turning in the
alarm is usually excited and is liza
BILE to call the street or number wrong,
and before the department makes a
run to the wrong point, discovers the
mistake and goes to the right place,
the property is too nearly consumed
to be saved. With an electric system,
all the person has to do is to push
in key and the apparatus does the
rest. The alarm goes in instanta-
neously and correctly.
With an electrical system of fire
alarms, the insurance rates could be
reduced so greatly that thousands of
dollars paid out annually could be left
in the pockets of the property own.
ers. An economical and scientific ad
ministration of the city government
must be more carefully considered in
the future than in the past, and the
installation of an electrical system of
fire alarms is one of the rudiments of
scientific and economical admins
tration, as it embraces both science
and economy.
The city has reached point where
building inspector is necessary, be-
cause it would result in p. .eventing
the erection of unsafe buildings, which
would also be matter Of economy,
as a firetrap or building in anyway

all buildings are constructed upon
safe principles, would look after the

and no building. wiring or plumbing

nit from the council. and under The
supervision Of an inspector who would
see that the law is complied with.

end? If the end is service to man
kind it is worthy. If it is personal
qualification, selfishness, it is unwor-
thy.
1t is good sign when the leading
educators talk along these lines. 1t
shows that they at least appreciate
the necessity of admonition and the
Importance of subordinating the ma
terial to the ethical and spiritual.
But how deep an impression will this
sort of preachment make upon the
average graduate of our big institu-
tions of learning? Is it not true
that in the vast majority of cases the
students would not have enjoyed
the opportunity of securing the high
er education if wealth had not been
amassed by some one who preceded
them, and do not the universities them
selves, with all the privileges that
they confer, instill into the minds of
the fortunate youth who attend them
notions of caste and class which can
not be easily dispelled?
We are afraid that if the doctrine
inculcated on commencement day
were made part of the regular four
year course at any one of these in
stitutions the attendance would be
greatly reduced very soon. In other
words, education, like business, is
practical. 1t has some high ideals
which on occasion are set up for ad-
miration, but these ideals are not the
main thing. The university which
best fits the young man to cope with
pretty shrewd and grasping world
is the one which in the long run will
have the most students and the big
gest endowments.
