Is expected during the spring or summer or
1907, and of the tunnel and overgrade work
that is progressing uniformly, all the tracks
that now interfere with traffic on 9th street
southwest the Mall or In any portion of the
southwest section will be removed, elevated
or depressed. That all this will represent a
vast improvement in conditions and hence
In values of every sort is patent to every
one. Citizens generally and inhabitants of
the southwest particularly are Interested in
the project for the establishment of a grand
boulevard from the Capitol through the
Mall on direct line toward Arlington, and
to lead to the proposed Memorial bridge.
The reclamation and identifying of the Poto-
mac flats and the recent construction Of the
highway and railway steel bridges to the
Virginia shore are matters that mean much
for development on landscape lines in this
section. Even before the completion of the
general and more ambitious schemes of i'm
provement outlined above study of real
estate conditions reveals building activities
that argue well for the progress and pros
perfty of the southwest section of the city.
A Large Building Enterprise.
The north half OF square 47o. fronting on
9Th. I and 18th streets southwest, has been
improved, beginning just one year ago, by
the construction of thirty-seven modern six
room, bay-window, cellar and furnace
heated residences. These improvements
were financed and managed by F. E. Davis.
The larger part of the square bounded by
shows between thirty and forty modern
slx-room brick houses, recently built, and
which have all been sold. They represent
value of about 5000 each.
The new ferry wharves of the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company on
the water front at the foot of 7th street
southwest represent the best type of wharf
construction and compare favorabiy with
work of like character in Philadelphia and
New York.
On the river front are also the headquarters
of the crew of the Firehghter. the Potomac
fireboat. This building is commodious, and
contains comfortable sleeping and liv-
ing apartment, and was completed within
the last few months.
The Mount Vernon and Washington
Steamboat Company has also remodeled its
wharves and excursion building and the
two-story morgue built last year by the
District authorities answers well the pur-
pose of It's construction.
George E. Walker has improved his Of
fees by building another story, which adds
greatly to the working space and appear
ance of the building at 7th and K streets
southwest. Frank Hall has also recently
erected a two-story building In the rear of
his present house, which latter he has re-
modelled, adding modern improvements.

QUIETLY THINKING
The Long Period Between the Monte
nations of County Officers and :
the Election Causes Much
Meditation

Audubon county voters are quietly
considering the questions before theIr.
and the candidates asking their fran;
chise. The farmers Paper, the Jour-
nal. feels deeply the interests of the
agriculturalists; for what is best for
the farmer is best for the tradesman in
this great country. In other words,
when the farmer dourishes, all trades
flourish; but if conditions are against
him then all trades suffer to q greater
or less extent. 1t is right to have two
great parties, and 600 it is right to be
80 Independent in the disposal of our
vote as to not encourage the corrupti-
BILE man who has proven himself un-
worthy our support, be he Republican.
Democrat or Prohibitionist. There
are principles involved for which all
should stand, and we must have men
who are able and fearless-incorrupti-
BILE. Men desiring your prerogative
should be of unblemished character
and not addicted to drink-yea, that
demon that is devouring our best men.
Then gambling and its kindred vices
should receive our disapprobat!on.
The Journal will be found fair in asls
questions, and will endeavor to points
out defects as they appear during the
campaign, for we feel that the man
who is building up our country is he
who makes our great majority and
must be respected.

BOB'S BUGBEAR
With Eyes Aglare and Teeth Tight
Set, His GloveleSS Fist is Raised
To Strike His Only Friend.
Is He Crazed?

The Journal desires to state officially
that it does not advertise mail order
concerns under any circumstances, al
though we have been solicited to do
80 for much more money than we ask
our merchants. This statement is
made that persons who do not read
our pictorial supplement may get no
false Impressions, our readers Of course
being better informed. With no in
tention of setting the Journal upon
pedestal the statement is in order, and
is authoritative, that qusck medicine
advertising has for some time been ex-
cluded from our local columns, and ia
slated soon to disappear from the sup
plement. In this the Journal will be
q pioneer in Audubon county at least.
The pictorial supplement costs haiA
money and represents an effort on the
part Of the management to give the
county readers of the Journal more
and better value for their money than
they have heretofore received, 1t is
equal in every respect to the colorS
supplement issued by the large datlias
being. prepared by even better talent.
1t has not been the occasion of boast
ing or self applause. This, however,
has been because we have waited for
it to attract attention. The evidence
is growing strong that 1t has done 80,
which warrants this little word in its
behalf.

AUDUBON COUNTY FAIR
The Management is Deserving Of
Great Praise and Every

Ideal weather is browning with
glory the great efforts of the manage
ment of the Audubon County Agri-
cultural Society.
They have been tireless In their en-
deavor to bring on the best fair Audu-
bon county has ever enjoyed and the
boys ("bless 'em'') have won out.
There is no little labor connected with
the bringing about public amuse-
ment, entertainment, or exhibition Of
these dimensions
We apprehend that it is similar in
many respects to running weekly
the size of the Journal. From the
very moment you are through with
one, another (better than the last If
POSSIBILITY must be prepared. And 80
1t goes week after week, year after
year, constant study to excel the
previous effort.
Every department this year is full
and is carefully cared for by men who
have had previous training in the
business. At this writing no prem
iums have been awarded 80 we will
endeavor to take that matter up in
our next issue.
