The EXPRESS has been published
under difficulties the past two days
due to the fact that it is on the
move. Our moving operations
were begun Wednesday and will
not be completed before Monday.
No III North Third street is our
new home, just north of the
Citizens National Bank. The bus
mess Offices and greater part Of the
equipment were moved yesterday.
The big cylinder press, folder and
electric motor are yet to be moved.
Everything is topsy turvy and our
readers will overlook our short
comings at this time.
Besides the big press which
weighs something like o,ooo
pounds, several other very ponder
Gus articles had to be moved, one
Of them was the Office towel, 'bow-
ed down with the weight of ages. +"
Major Granlee personally superen-
tendee the job and by the use Of
"skids" in loading managed to
move it without making crack in
it. Then there was the big, heavy
weight editorials that are used to
boost the town, boom statrhood

the head officials Of the Frisco yet
the news is from an authentic
source. It comes from man who
is in a position to know whose in

Mexico. Recently Messrs Vickers
and Carson went from here to New
Mexico and are engaged in the
trading business in that territory.
Mr.. Carson returned to the city
some time ago to spend the holi-

representative of this paper stated
Il
that he was positive the Frisco

Mexico toward FL Paso. In conver

Usually when the picture sheet Is
dropped after the last humber, the
greater portion Of the audience gets
up and proceeds to leave, thereby
missing many hearty laughs over the
stunts of the comedians In the moving
views. Il never leave the house until
the pictures are over" said one of the
most regular patrons OF the Jacques
last night, because there Is always
something either interesting or anus
ing In them. l used to make a prac-
tice Of leaving when the last act was
over. but one night happened to pass
the theater while the pictures were on
and I never heard such laughing in
my life. Next night | went back and

This week the electrograph Is showing
some splendid views Of the peace plen-
ipotentiaries at the opening Of the con-

winsome smile. to say nothing Of the
ubiquitous Mr. Sato. that all three have
taken on a personal interest for the
American public. The pictures were
taken the day Of the parade in the
New Hampshire town and are remark
ably vivid and the likeness Of the

Not as much as we used to, but oc-

Not so many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern work
men could not quarry or, having quar-
ried, could not handle stones as large
as the monoliths of Egypt, and the
writer has heard a public speaker of
note assert that it would be impossible
to handle with modern implements
such large stones as We're used in the
pyramids, or to join them as perfectly
as they are joined there; yet, when oe-
caslon arose, larger stones than any of
these were quarried in Maine, and
