ence in June, and proposes to cele-
brate it in a most unique manner yet
with all the dignity that the events so
fully warrant. 1t 50 happens that a
new public library. donated by the
Hon. Andrew Carnegie and new
courthouse are READY to dedicate
while new federal building for a
postofiice is to be built and the corner
stone will be ready To lay The city
authorities have invited the citizens
10 organize committees to take charge
of the celebration of these various
events. and through all the exercises,
lasting over two days, will be the main
theme OF homecoming and reunion
of thousands OF Flints former resi-
dents. The attention of great men has
been brought to this exceptional cele-
bration. and the occasion will bring
together as guests of the city Of Flint
for two days some very distinguished
persons. Vce-President Fairbanks
will speak for the federal government
at the laying Of the cornerstone of the
postoffice. Truman II. Newberry, as
SlSIdHI= secretary Vi llit ldN anu d
battalion of Naval Reserves will par
ticipate. Mayor Codd Of Detroit and
Governor Warner and his staff will be
present, escorted by a regiment OF
the National Guard The Grand Lodge
OF Masons will lay the cornerstone,
President Angel of Michigan Univer-
sity will make the address at the de1i-
cation of the public library and will
be rendered a banquet by the alumni
OF his institution. b shop Foley will
also speak at this celebration. Mr..
Justice Brown of the United States
supreme court will make an address
at the dedication of the courthouse.
and the entire bench of the Michigan
supreme court will attend. Flint will
probably never see such a gathering
as will visit within her walls on those
two days. No city in the country
seems to have been thus fortunate in
having so many events worthy Of suoh
notable recognition coming at one
time. Federal. state. court, municipal
and civic organizations are all taking
cognizance of these various celebra-
tons.
The old-home coming feature will DO
particularly SlTOHSs d. IL SteHlS w ne
the earnest desire of the present gen.
Grafton to show TO those who have
taken up their life work elsewhere
MAT they left the city and It's affairs in
competent and progressive hands.
The contrast between the past
and the present will be marked
20 illustrate the advance of
time, and how Flirt has kept step
with the onward march It Is easy to
see that receptions OF unusual bril-
liancy must be rendered to the distin-
guished visitors, and the warm well
come in reuniting fcrmer pastors, So
cieties, military and fire organizations,
university and high school alumni and
business associates will give a sym
pathetic trend to the celebration that
will leave sweet memories with all
who attend. Flint will be the focus of
every eye and in the headlines OF ev-
cry newspaper during the early days
Of June.

No: everything went off very
pleasantly. There was but little drink

"Shoo! Wal stranger, If that's so.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE.
Best Lighted City Ir the World Is
Flint, Michigan.


Flint Is the only city-in Michigan
whose business streets are lighted
with electric arches. In 1899 the en-
terprising business men OF the city
raised the amount necessary to con
struct nine handsome steel structural
arches, each spanning the street from
curb to curb, a distance OF siXty-six
feet, and located them at every street
intersection for twelve blocks through
the main business street. Each of these
arches contain fifty electric lights,
with suitable reflectors. On celebra.
ton occasions there are facilities for
equipping the streets with ten times
this number of lights. The entire fifty
lights are burned until IL o'clock at
night The business street is on an
incline from the courthouse to the
park, which adds very greatly to the
beauty of the electric arches, when
looking up or down the business street
from either end.
Thousands of travellers who pass
through the city on the night trains Of
the Grand Trunk aud Pere Marquette
railroads, are delighted with the beau
tiful sight presented most of them
never having seen anything like 1t.
The first question asked of the train
men is, where are We-what Is going
on here?" When they are told that
Il is Flint and that the electric arches
are permanent fixture, the name
Flint" and the gorgeous electrical dis
play leaves a favorable impression
upon the stranger-that Flint Is really
what it is-a handsome and progress
sive city, made so by loyal citizens.
AS far west as the Pacific and as far
east as the Atlantic many people,
when giving their place of residence,
hear such words as THAT is the Mich
igan city lighted with electrical
arches"
The people Of Michigan will be Civ
en- an opportunity to see these arches
on the occasion of the coming Golden
Jubilee Celebration and Homecoming
Reunion, which is to be held in Flint
on June Z and S, at which time an
elaborate program has been arranged,
for the entertainment of the city's,
guests and for participation in by thel
residents OF the city. AT that time,
that busy town will have reached its
fiftieth milestone of corporate exist

MAY GO UP HIGHER.
Railroad Commissioners May Appeal
to Interstate Commerce Commission.

The Kansas state board of railroad
commissioners may bring proceedings
before the interstate commerce COM
mission to secure a correction of a
gross discrimination in rates which ex-
lists on the Missouri Pacific and NJ. K.
& T. against the E. K. Taylor Cement
company of Gas City, Kan.
The matter is brought to the atten-
ton of the board by Carr Taylor, the
attorney, who has received complaint
from the Taylor company. 1t is set
forth in the complaint received by Mr..
Taylor that on all the cotton bags in
which cement is packed and shipped
in from Georgia. Alabama, and other
southern states, that the rate on these
bags to Gas City is 10 cents per 100
pounds. while Kansas City, Fort Scott
and Omaha all have a rate of IS cents
per 100.
Mr.. Taylor state to the board in his
communication accompanying the Gas
City complaint that he suggests that
the board request the Missouri Pacific
and M. K & T. to make a voluntary
correction of this discriminatory rate,
which is interstate. and therefore be
yond the control of the board. This
can be done under section T. of the
new railroad law. In case the rail-
roads do not comply with the request,
Mr.. Taylor wants the board to start
proceedings before the interstate COM
merce commission.
