LOVE LONG AND
TRAVEL FAR
TO WE'D

Cupid finally won out in three
long extended, long distance court
ships yesterday. c. J. Belts, of
this city, was married to Miss
Claud Millholland, of Dayton, o.,
whom he had not seen in five
years; E. r. Harper, of Prosser,
Wash, married Miss Leonine N.
Gibbs after five years. P. E.
Maggie, OF Ellensburg, Wash, had
not seen Miss George Kimball, of
Hedge City, Mo-, for seven years
until they married yesterday. In
each case the brides and grooms
were old time sweethearts. They
met here by appointment and the
proper officials did the rest.

NEW YORK, OCt. 3O.-lne Olu-
est high finance merchants in Wall
street are made to look like babies
In toyland beside the imposing Ma
polenic front of two young men
from the west who have entered
New York and are promoting a very
extraordinary railroad enterprise.
They are known as Burr Bros,
and they are Fiscal agents" of the
"Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line Railroad Co.," which has
placed stock on the market to sell
direct &c the public On an Install
ment plan.
II Burr Bros statement may be
taken as true this railroad is to be
a public ownership enterprise with
variations. That is, the public is
to own the stock. 1t proposes to
run a double track electric line for
passenger and freight traffic from
Chicago to New York, in a line
drawn on the may as straight as it
could be drawn with rule, and 1t
gives such modest hopes and
dreams in its alluring full-page adj
vertisements as, transit from the
windy city to the metropolis in ten
hours, on a route $50 miles shorter
than the shortest steam line.
Wall street has been, figurative-
ly, swept off its feet by the an
nouncements Of the new company
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-10-30

which, considering the adjectives
employed, read not unlike the liter
airy efforts of the circus advance
man.
The fiscal agents declare that the
road can be built for $3.50 900 900.
The public ownership feature
comes in with a plan to do away
with the antique and troublesome
method of bonding the road to pay
for its construction and, instead of
bond issue, it is planned to build
the line out of the sale of the
common stock, par value 500, adj
vertised for sole, now at $26 a
share.
In an Office in the Flatiron build4
ing, cluttered with stenographers'
desks, the senior member of the
Burr establishment was found and
he was ready to answer questions
concerning his enterprise. He
said:
while the main Offices of the
company are in Chicago, we are
selling stock here. This is to be
the greatest or american electric
railroads. 1t is to be built by the
investing public. No work will be
done until we have the money
from the public, so you see, we
have a sort of public ownership

acter of the men behind it and

Commissioners Dean and Collin say
they are saving money for the tax
payer when they charge only $25 a
month fiat rate for expenses. If
this is so, the average taxpayer can
see where they might save money
better along other lines of county
expense. And the average taxpayer
knows the commissioners well
enough to understand that they'll
take everything they can hand
themselves.

NO MORE RACES WILL
 BE HELD OVER COURSE
Crowds Cannot Be Controlled On Lona Island and the Automobile Course
 Has Been Abandoned.

Garden City, L. L. october 6.-After the race for the Vanderbilt cup today ths racing board of the American Automoblls association held a meeting here and de- cided that no more races should be held under the auspices of the association over the course used today
 Chairman Thompson said the board bad come to this decision because 1t had been found impossible to keep the crowds of spectators in check and to avoid accidents such as occurred today when several per- sons were injured and Elliott r. Shepard's car killed a man. MT. Thompson said that in the future If similar contests should be decided upon, they would be held a1 some place further down the island. Hs thought it possible that private property might be purchased for the establishments of a course. The course could be fenced along it's entire length, and any outsiders who ventured on the course would bs guilty of trespass. He pointed out also that If 0 course was established further down the island, it would tend to lessen the crowd attending the races as many persons would not care to pay the In. creased fare
 MT. Thompson said that the associa- tion had spent thousands of dollars in the erection of wire fences along ths course in order to keep the public from crowdng the tracks, and getting in harms way This precautionary measure had been rendered of no avail in many cases some of the spectators had brought with them nippers with which they had cut their way through the fences.

Coach McGugin Thinks In a Couple of Weeks He Will Have Star
 Southern Team.

Nashville, October O-(Special.) .)-Van- derbilt won from Kentucky State college in the initial contest on Dudley field this afternoon by a score of 2S to O. The Ken lucky boys put up a pluciy contest but were easy victims for the hardy com modores who showed good form notwith- standing the rains of the past week, which have prevented practice. The new men of this years team made good showing. and the long run of Hall and the catch of Noel of tumble ball, with a run of 35 yards, were features of the game. The Blake brothers and Craig of last years famous teams got away for substantial gains. Coach McGugin thinks after a couple of weeks practice the Com modores will again have team that will be hard for any southern college to go against.
