1t is estimated that when the mammoth
new yards of the Lake Shore, near Elkhart

The full plans Of the yards have been de-
cided upon. In all they will be nearly four
miles long. and for three miles are thirty
tracks wide. An army Of men is now at
work on the grade. and will soon have it
completed. The character of the men en-
ployed In the yards differs largely. In one
camp are found Mexicans. Indians and half
breeds, in the next camp Swedes and Scan

groups Of different nationalities. Italians
are few, as they are not steady workers,

This does not tell the whole story of
kentuckys benightedness, for there are
eight other counties without newspapers,

Kentucky. In none of the seven States
surrounding that commonwealth do similar
conditions exist. Virginia furnishes the

The lawmakers of that State may shift
county lines, obliterate and reorganize
