The Twentieth Century Limited
train, running between Chicago and
New York over the Lake Shore and
New York Central tracks, met with
its first disaster by running into an
open switch at Mentor, Ohio, on We'd
nesday last. More than twenty people
lost their lives while the train was al
most completely wrecked. 1t was the
fourth run on the new eighteen hour
schedule and 60 miles an hour was
being made when the accident occur
red. While the officials of the road
have maintained that the speed could
be sustained with perfect safety to
passengers, this deplorable accident,
which might have occurred to a train
making much slower time, will doubt
less result in a return to a slower
schedule, as the travelling public, es-
pecially that portion which is in a
hurry and willing to take risks will
think twice before taking train
which on some stretches of track at
tanned a speed of SO miles an hour
There is no precaution that can be talk
en- which will remove the possibility
of an accident.

The Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland bids fair to prove not only
a great attraction but financial sue
cess as well. According to the press
dispatches the admissions for the first
week were 99,275 these including the
remarkably large attendance of 3d.
ST. on the opening day. The average
for the first week, exclusive of the
opening day, was 10,6OS. This is a
good showing for the opening days
and the busy season of the year when
people have not the time for sight
seeing and when the exposition is not
at it's best. When the tourist season
begins in earnest the daily attendance
should be double that of the present
time and hold good until the close 70
the fair on the 18th day of October.
1t has been estimated that the total
attendance would be from 100000
to 100000 and the indications are
that the admissions will reach the lat
ter figure.

me enactment Of legislation which
woulu unnecessarily interfere with the
environment and operation of these
commercial agencies"
The Esch-Townsend bill, which pass
ca tne house last winter, may have
It's defects. it may not fully meet the
views OF the president, but it is along
the lines OF his recommendations, and
this Dill, or one similar to it, will be
onered in the next congress and ulti-
mately become a law.
All the president seeks to obtain is
square DEAF and in this he is,
strongly supported by the people. If
the railroads, aided by the senate,
succeed in defeating such legislation
1T will only increase the agitation in
certain quarters for government own
ership, a proposition which but few
people now regard with favor.

WHY NOT ANOTHER LOCATION?

If it is found that the site offered
for the Carnegie library building is
beyond the reach of our citizens ow-
ing to the valuation placed upon the
lots, why not seek another and cheap
err location. 1t is not absolutely nee
essary that the building should be
erected in the center of the city, how
ever desirable. Two lots on the
bench near the county high school
building ought to be had for $500 or
$500. The library would then be con-
at once, and in time probably central
as regards the population of the city.
In any event it would be better to
have the building there than to not
have it at all. If two lots could be
obtained for about the figures stated
above, the certainty of raising the
amount would make it perfectly safe
to borrow the money with which to
purchase the lots and then commune
cate with Mr.. Carnegie, Or his agent,
at once. We believe that one-half
of the purchase price could be raised
by two entertainments, participated in
by our school children and the mu-
steal talent of the city, everything en-
tering into the entertainment to be
free OF cost. Secure cheaper lots
somewhere in the city if necessary
and close this deal with Mr.. Carnegie
before it is too late. We cannot afford
to let this chance of securing a splen-
did library building go by default.
Location in a growing city is of small
concern
