BY ALL MEANS.

At last weeks meeting of the
commercial club, DR.. r. w. Bailey
of the Baxter Mining Company,
speaking of advertising our city,
advised his hearers to send away
copies of the local papers; to mark
items which would interest outsid-
ers, but above all to send away the
papers-advertise. DR.. Bailey'e re-
marks were timely. The papers
should be sent away-sent to every
man who might be induced to To-
cate here-where there are so many
business openings.
a careful perusal of the local pa
pers land they are as good il NOT
better than can be found in other
towns the same siZe). reveals the
fact that there are excellent open
ings here for all lines of business.
The town has been boosted by the
papers, It's advantages exploited,
the surrounding country lauded,
and now, by a careful study of these
same papers, it will be seen that

Last Friday nights ball at the
city opera house was very enjoy
able affair. There were about TWEEN
~ couples participating. Music
was furnished by Columbus or

The city council, at its regular
meeting to be held one week from
next Tuesday night, will be called
on to pass upon the electric road
franchise. We have not studied
the franchise very closely, but from
cursory perusal of it we believe
it to be fair. OF course, there are a
few features which will need chang
ing, but the CO '. pany and the city
can easily get together. One thing
is certain-the building of road
will add greatly to the taxable
wealth of the city, and that is what
is needed. The council should be
very liberal. The company asks
no bonus-simply right 10 use
certain streets and do business.
1t is time 70 look about and select
good men to fill the various city
Offices This spring there will be "A
mayor, four councilmen and four
members of the board of education
to elect. II is essential to the city's
welfare that only the best of mate
rial be used to fill the various
offices, regardless of politics. A
mayor and council should be
elected who will work in harmony
with the commercial club. The
club is an index to the best inter
ests of the city, made up as it is OF
men of all political and beliefs.
The sense of the club conveyed to
the city administration will be the
sense of the city. A mayor and
council can work better, and more
satisfactorily, if backed by good
commercial club.
One of the incest parties of the

BY AUGUST
The Electric Line VIII be Completed
and In Operation.

"You can say that the report that
an electric line 10 10 be constructed
from Galena 20 Baxter Springs is
true" said w. 6. Sergeant to a Joplin
Globe reporter Saturday night, and
lust as soon az the weather per.
mits the rails will be laid. l am
not in position to say at what time
the line will be completed, but we
expect to have Il in operation in
ample time to handle the Baxter re-
union crowds, the latter part of
August,
1T will not be much trouble for
us to put in the fine as we will have
plenty of power from the power
plant at Lowell through which the
line will pass aud as we have al.
ready secured the most of the right
of way, about all that is left to be
done is to lay the rails. The cars
and all the rolling stock will be the
finest that are made and the road
will be first class in every respect.
1t ie very probable that the line will
connect at Galeua with the South
west Missouri 90 that passengers
can go through from Carthage with
practically NO change of cars"
When asked IL the line was any
part of the Southwest Missouri line
he replied: mo, it will be owned ex-
clusively by the Spring River Pow
er company, but the fact of connect.
ing with them will be for our mI-
tual benefit"
In this connection we will say
that Mr.. W. G. Sergeant, the accred-
tied representative of the Spring
River Power Company, was here
few days ago and left with the city
clerk the franchise which the city
council will be asked TO grant, al
lowing the company to use certain
streets.
A similar franchise will be asked
in Galena. The right of way COM
mittee of the Baxter club has prac-
tically secured the right of way for
the road from this city to the road
which runs from Lowell to Varck.
The Galena club is to secure the
right of way from that road to Ga
lena, and at q meeting of the Gale
ma club, held few nights ago the
right of way committee was asked
to "get busy" at once.
The road will be built-and it will
be built in time to accommodate
the crowds which will attend the
next big reunion.
