Boulevard
New Driveway Has a
a Legal Name.
S. A. VanBuskirk Named It In the
the Deed Suggests Mt. CIeghorn
as Proper Title for the Ridge.

EDITOR RECORD IL notice there has
been considerable talk in regard to
name for the road that is being built
over the Hogback. and for the inform
alton of the public would like TO state
that it has already been named, by the
consent and authority of the people
most concerned, in a financial way, in
the construction of the road
/ had the name, Skyline Boule-
ward" incorporated in the deed to the
right-of-way, which seems to me to be
a most appropriate and suggestive
title. When the road is finished it will
be natural to call the place where it is
located Boulevard Heights ''Boule-
ward Mountain" or some other name
quite as suggestive. While there are
many appellations that sound more
pleasing than "Hogback." it Will be
hard to change the name, unless a title
is found that fits the conditions better
than the one which has heretofore been
used. Personally l would like to have
it called Mt. Cleghorn. If thought it
would be agreeable to the public Such
a name would be fitting tribute to
the man who is doing more to have the
road built than anybody else, and, be-
sides, it sounds well.
In this connection / wish TO correct
an error that appeared in last weeks is
sue Of THE RECORD regarding the place
of beginning Of the road. 1t starts at
the intersection of Fifth street and
Floral avenue. in Reynolds addition,
instead of Third street, and the steep
est grade at the southern ascent will
not exceed seven per cent at any point.
The average gradient viii be less than
five per cent. After reaching the sum-
init. for about mile northward, the
road will be practically level.
On the north and east terminals, to
a point opposite the north line of Or
chard Park, the steepest grade viii. not
exceed four and one-half per cent. A
line has also been surveyed down the
west side of the ridge and, by going to
a point above Three Mile spring, road
could be constructed 10 the top to in
tersect at the place where the east line
starts down, on a grade of less than
two per cent.
This spur of the road could be built
very easily, as it would nearly all be
earth work. l have always taken great
interest in this enterprise, because I
believed it would do more to advertise
the attractions of Canon City than any
improvement that could be inaugurat-
ed. devoted considerable time, four
years ago. to making survey of the
prospective road, and was with the en-
gineer who located the driveway that
is now being built. and am confident
that these statements in regard to its
construction are, in the main. correct

The United States produces 81 per
cent of the worlds coal, 80 per cent OF
its pig iron, 81 per cent of its copper, y
per cent Of its zinc and 81 per cent of its
petroleum. In the production OF coal,
pig iron, copper and petroleum, the
United States leads the world. In the
production of precious metals the United
States increased from 36 million dollars
in 1880 to 8415 millions in 1904 while the
commercial value of the silver output of
the United States decreased from "a %
million dollars in 1880 to about 81 mil

The First National Bank of Paw Paw
was organized May 30, 1865, with $4,000
capital. January /, 1866, their first pub
llshed statement showed deposit Of
$40, ,729.59. The bank charter was ex-
tended 20 years later, May 20, 1885, de-
posits at that time amounting to ST. ,209.-
Al. May 30, 1905, 40 years from the date
of the first organization, Cashier Parks
received a telegram from VIM. B. Ridgly,
comptroller of currency, as follows:
corporate existence of your bank ex-
tended to day" This bank is one of the
solid institutions of south western Mich
igan, and with 40 years of successful
banking behind it and with deposits
amounting to S3000 is in a position to
merit the confidence and respect of the
business public.
The following statistics from the re.
port of the department of commerce and
labor show to a certain extent the mag
nitude and Importance OF the grain trade
in the United States at II of the most
important interior markets. The total
grain receipts during the first four
months of the current year amounted to
1S4, 663, 1862 bushels, loss of over 10 mil
lion bushels as compared with a like
movement in 1904. The receipts of live
stock at the five markets of Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Louis and st.
Joseph for the first four months of the
year totaled II ,429,655 head, gain of
1920 head over the receipts for the
same period in 1904, and an increase for
the corresponding period in 1903 of

Our people have cause for congratula-
tion in the granting to the Dunkley-Wil-
liams Co., by the city of Kalamazoo, of
an acceptable franchise last Monday ev-
ening. This was granted after wordy
debate lasting several hours. The Dunk
ley-Williams people have contended fer
franchise without the municipal owner
ship clause, claiming with that inserted
there was no possibility Of disposing of
their bonds, the successful disposition of
which would result in the building of
the road. With the right of way, most
of which is secured, it will soon be up to
the electric people to make good their
promises The value Of this enterprise
is not limited to the territory through
which 1T passes, but Will with proper
management be profitable investment
for its projectors.

UNION CLASS DAY EXERCISES
Program Rendered by Graduates from
Cass, Lincoln and Omaha
View Schools.

Pupils who will be graduated this year
from the Cass, Lincoln and Omaha View
schools combined in class day exercises at
the Cass school yesterday afternoon. They
numbered about eighty and carried out a
program of music, essays and rectations.
Large bouquets of flowers were brought
for Miss Simonds, Miss Redfleld and Miss
Reed, the principals, and they and Super
intendent Davidson were decorated with
the flowers and class colors. The exercises
to a large degree were informal, but very
pretty and much enjoyed by the graduates
and those of their parents and friends who
| attended. Luncheon was served by Miss
simonds both to the pupils and the teach
ers.
Before the exercises were begun the
pupils from the Omaha View and the Lin
coin schools were shown the manual train
ing exhibition classes in clay modelling,
| wood carving bench work and sewing being
set at work for their benefit. Cass is the
only grade school where manual training
| has been installed and the other pupils
were delighted with what they observed.
Superintendent Davidson made the ad-
| dress of the afternoon, felicitating the
pupils upon their completion of the gram
| mar school course and the character of the
work they had been able to do during the
| eight full years they had studied. He ex-
| pressed the hope that all might attend the
| high school, but said he recognized the fact
that many parents, owing to financial
stress, would be unable to go further with
| their childrens education
'If you should never have any more
| schooling" said he. IF you have learned
! only how to study and the art OF being a
self student, you have world of knowl,
edge at your command. One to live rightly
never ceases to study. The secret lies not
| so much in what you have attempted to
| store in your mind as being capable to
| learn constantly more and more"
To the pupils who hoped to enter the
high school he said that the course could
not fail to help them a great deal and he
urged them to do their best to remain foui
years longer, at least, in the work Of pre-,
pairing themselves for their careers.
The program was as follows:

REPAIRING OF THE ASPHALT
Actual Work Likely to Begin on
Streets Within Two or
Three Weeks.

Manufacturers of steam road rollers
shovels rakes and all kinds of tools and
appliances used in the construction of as
phalt pavements have learned through ad-
vertisements that Omaha is going to get
busy with its new municipal asphalt plant
in a few weeks and have deluged the city
clerks Office with their literature. Bids
are to be received for various things
needed including material. up to May 2S
They will not be opened, however, until
the next regular council meeting. Tuesday
night. Engineer Rosewater is gradually
getting a force of men ready for the work
and it is likely that the actual repairing
of asphalt pavement will start in two or

The above is a verbatim copy of Lillian
Algoe's appeal with the exception that the
punctuation and spelling have been cor
rected. The letter was evidently labored
over long and earnestly, having many in
terlineations and corrections. 1t was posted
at Omaha about 10 o'clock on the morning
of May IS. The names mentioned, lin it arc
given as TX" and "Y'' for obvious rea-
sons.
In his complaints filed in the courts
against Chief Donahue and Mr.. Rosewater,
Alyoe signed his name Morris" His fe-
male companion persists in speaking of
him as Maurice" and so writes 1t.
Another very significant letter, written
to still a different Jackson party would
seem to indicate that with this latter per-
son she had had previous dealings or an
| understanding of some kind before she
came to Omaha. This second letter is
| signed Mrs. NJ. S. Algoe," and contains
| these injunctions or directions:
Write to Boyle and the Patriot and Citi-
zen, Detroit Tribune and News and deny
Get the bond or fix it satisfactorily.
| Written receipt for Mr.. Algoe from Stay
! Receipt from police department, Rose
| water and Donahue.
Those pictures and descriptions taken OF
| Mr.. Algoe and, If sent out, denied
! That they, Mr.. Rosewater, Donahue and
the rest Of the party concerned in this
| matter, swear by written statement and
| signed by all parties, that from now on
that the matter is kept entirely quiet from
papers and all.
No Question of Authenticity.
Both of these documents were written by
Lillian Algoe. They have been carefully
compared by experts with the woman's
handwriting on other papers and especially
with the note she pushed under Mr.. Rose
waters Office door while her husband was
endeavoring to extort more money from
him. This touching appeal, now among
the documents in evidence, was in these
words:
| Mr.. e. Rosewater:
| For Gods sake, try and settle this thinl
up some way with him, this way, providing
| he viii forgive me. My God, l have nc
money no place TO eat or sleep. / dom

grief What will / do? / don't wan
| Maurice to leave me, for / love him. Dc
| the best you can, for my sake.
| MRS. NJ. S. ALGOE.
Destroy this when you read 1t.
Still another letter was written by Algot
himself to the same import and throwing
chief blame on the woman.
