$500 FOR LETTERS
 ABOUTTHE SOUTHWEST.

The Western Trail magazine offers six prizes aggregating in value $500 in railroad transporta- tion for letters from residents of Arkansas, East Colorado, Mis- souri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mex leo.
 It wants letters that will in- duce energetic and ambitious men and women to settle in the great and growing Southwest and there engage in farming, cattle raising, dairying, fruit growing and similar pursuits.
 To accomplish the purpose which it has in view, the Vest ern Trail offers the following prizes in railroad transportation for the six letters which, in the opinion of a competent judge, shall be deemed best suited to it's requirements:
 First prize, $100 in railroad transportation.
 Second prize, $75 in railroad transportation.
 Third prize, $50 in railroad transportation.
 Fourth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 Fifth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 Sixth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 THE CONDITIONS ARE EASY.
 Letters should deal with tn writer's experiences since he set- tied in the Southwest. They should tell how much money he had when he rived, what he did when he first came. what measure of success has since crowned his efforts and what he thinks of that portion of country in which he is located.
 Letters should not be less than 300 nor more than 1,5OO words in length, and will be used for the purpose of advertising the South west. Letters are desired not only from farmers and farmers wives, but also from merchants, school teachers, clergymen; from everyone who has a story to tell and who knows how to tell it. Poetical contributions are not wanted.
 All cannot win prizes, but by their contributions they can as- sist the Western Trail in it's ef- forts to colonize and upbuild the Southwest.
 Contest closes June 30, 1905. Prizes will be awarded as soon thereafter as results can be de- termined. Address the Western Trail, 736-744 Van Buren street, Chicago, III.

few weeks ago when the primary election
~, in progress. Polls we're opened at
sunrise at the following places:
First ward-Ellks' Hall.
Second ward City Hotel.
Third ward Odd Fellows Hall.
Fourth ward-FrieDds lip engine house.
Much apathy was shown and but little
effort was made either on the part OF the
democratic committee or of the demo-
cratic nominees on the ticket, with few
exceptions, to bring out the vote NO
bookbolders we're employed in either oil
the wards and few, if any vehicles, we're
engaged in taking voters to the polls.
The republicans worked quietly, out
made some efforts to bring out their
votes. A stranger in the city would
hardly have known that an election was
being held. =,
The number of votes cast up to
o'clock this evening were: First ward,
255: Second, 1856; Third, 222; Fourth,

In the United States Circuit Court in
Richmond Yesterday H. @. Knode, oil
Alexandra county, instituted suit for
SIC, 900 alleged damages against Gran
dali Mackey, Commonwealth Altor-
ney, aud Joseph E Sdpplee, a Justice
of The Peace in that county. The suit
crews out of the arrest OF the plaintiff in
connection with the recent pool-roomi
matters in Alexandria county. II Will
be remembered that when Mr., Mackey
made the raid on J. c. Nelson poolrooms,
Knode was arrested with others on the
charge of vagrancy. Knode disclaimed
being a vagranl; and now sues for dam
ages for his arrest on such charge.

Street Improvements.

IA our State Senator has had his say
and the City Council has backed it up
with 5000 Of the peoples money to pay
the expenses of trying 10 persuade other
CITY and Town Councils to agree Win
them 10 increasing their taxation, 1t Is
about time for the other side OF the ques-
tion to be considered. Finely paved
streets are no doubt desirable, but do
thew bring us trade? If they will, then
nv all means let them be paved; but
thew will not do so. The people OF the
surrounding country are now building
railroads to carry them to Washington,
and no wonder, when the ladies OF our
CITY have been making their purchases
for many years there, at higher prices
than they would have been charged at
home.
But let these things be as they may,
those who want new pavements should
make them at their own expense, not
endeayor to saddle an extra tax upon
their poorer peighbors to assist in pay.
inp for them. Whatever has been said
to the contrary, it is the city (which
should pave its streets as the State Con-
stitution now requires; because they
make no more use of them than Others,
if a. much. Is not the pavement which
they have been required to put down as
free to everybody else as to them? Yet
they must keep it clean and repair 1t
and the cutters as well, and if an OLD law
has not been repealed, they must pull
up all the grass and sweep the street 10
the middle. 1t is scarcely ever DONE
because the law, if not repealed, has be-
come obsolete on account of its absurdl-
ty. Let us take the case of poor man,
for example, who has saved a little
money from his wages or salary fnd pur
chased a house and lot, assessed, let us
saw. at $4,000. He can keep no car
rage. but his neighbor can, and wants
smooth street, and others, who have
bought property on the Heights, thai
they may have no taxes to pay wan'
smooth streets 100 when they come in
on business or for pleasure. AnOlhel
man who lives on 40 unPaved street
and has carts, naturally wishes to run
them where the horses will have less
difficulty in pulling heavy loads. Now
shall this poor msn, who already pays
forty dollars towards the necessary ex
penses OF the city in the form OF taxes
be made to pay another heavy tax fo
something be does not need! Of course
people living on unpaved streets vii
saw be should because it keeps then
from being taxed for what they use; bu
where is the justice in making him d.
so? Make every man pay his share an'
nothing will be done but what is neces
sary. A low rate of taxation will d.
more to build up Alexandria than al
the so-calIed Improvements, for it !
heavy taxation to build railroads which
now disown us, which has kept us from
increasing our population for so man
