Here to Consider Grenada's
Depot Facilities.
TWO MEMBERS OF COMMISSION PRESENT,
Prominent Railroad Officials

pot at Whaley to be Opened.

The Railroad Commission held 4;
session in this city Thursday, October
to consider the question of better
facilities for passengers at the depot
at Grenada. This question had beer
brought to the attention of the Com
mission by our city council acting fol
and in the interests of the citizenship
OJ the community. Only two mem.
berS of the Commission were present,
Hons. j. G. KincannOn and S. d. Nc.
Nair. A committee of perhaps TWEEN
ty-fve Observation-Disclosures, headed
by Mayor DOty. had been appointed
to receive the Commission and to rep
resent Grenada before that body.
MeSSrs. H. McCourt, general superin-
tendent, and j. G.. Neudifor, division
superintendent, were on hand to ans
wer for the railroad. The hearing
was had in the elegant apartments of
the Grenada Club rooms. Mayor Doty
and Hon. VIM. G. Mclean each made
short talks setting forth what Grena-
da thought was needed and should be
done for the better accommodation of
passengers at the depot which, briefly
summarized, was: That the waiting
room for the white passengers was in
sufficient and not commensurate with
the demands of Grenada or in keep
ing with the dignity of a great corpor-
alton like the Illinois Central railroad
company. That the toilet rooms for
the sexes should be separate and so ar
renged that they would be accessible
to ladies without being conspicuous
and further that the passage way on
the east side of the depot building,
between it and the railroad tracks,
was too narrow and that nOrthbOund
passenger trains could not be boarded
without traverSing this narrow pas
sage and encOuntering express trucks
and other things to impede travel to
such an extent that it became dan
gerOuS to human life.
Speaking for the Railroad MessrS.
McCourt and Neudifor presented a
diagram showing improvements al
ready contemplated and proposed re-
Of the depot largely In
inc with what had been suggested but
insisted that any change in the pas
sageway referred to was at present |
mpracticable.
The Commission took the matter |
under advisement and stated that the |
decision would be rendered at Jackson |
IN October II, however, they indi.
,ated that they felt that Grenada's
demands were reasonable and that
hey would insist on compliance by
he railroad with at least a part OF
What was desired. The best of humor
and the excellent gentlemen
epreSenting the railroad received
very suggestion in spirit Of fair
less. The Commission had several
ther matters to consider among them
mother of vital Importance to Grena-
a, that Of reOpening the depot at
Vhaley on the Y & M. V. railroad
etween Grenada and Greenwood.
Iaj. M. Gilleas, that widely known
abroad official, was prerent and it
,aS soon ascertained that a basis
Ould easily be agreed upon whereby
be depot would be reopened.

Los Angeles, CAL, Sept. 80, 1906.
EDITOR SENTINEL:
When l take the liberty of writing
an article for your valuable mOulder
Of public opinion on Los Angeles,
the fast growing city of the great
West" do net do so to tell those
who have already been here things
they already know, but to TRY to in
terest those who have not been here
on things they may like to know.
Los Angeles is city of 3OO,O 900
population, and entertains on an
average 10000 visitors daily from
one year to another. The city is
spoken Of daily by visitors from North
ern, Eastern and Southern states as
the fastest growing city in America.
She is not on boom, but her growth
is steady and is as ''solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar. You can not 60 a block
from the center of the city for ten or
fifteen miles but what you will see
buildings o. every kind under con-
StructiOn. The residences are all
modern up-to-date buildings, the ma
jority of which are twO-Story struc-
lures. The business blocks going up
are all steel frame buildings and alb
solutely fire-proof.
To give you an idea Of realty values
here, a block on Spring street in the
business section was sold last Thurs
day to a syndicate for s4,3OO.OO
front foot, and was purchased as an
investment too. And it is needless
to say they will make money on the
deal.
Real estate is great business here,
but | am told that the place is crowd
ed to OverflOwing. OF course the
larger firms do a great business all the
time, bnt there are so many little
cut throat" fellows here who do not
care just SO they can make both ends
meet, which Numbers of them fail to
do.
Fifteen years ago there was not a
single paved street in Los Angeles,
while now she has more than twenty
miles of paved streets, 400 miles of
and asphalt sidewalks and 175
miles of sewer. Her sewer system is |
including an outfall sewer
to the Pacific ocean.
AT night Los Angeles indeed pre-
sentS a brilliant appearance. 1t is the |
best lighted city of the nation and |
seen from the surrounding hills the
view is most beautiful and striking. |
The street car system is very COM
plete, the total mileage of single track
being more than 300. There are su-
Ourban lines to every town within 25
Or 30 miles, embracing altogether a
network OF about 600 miles of electric
railroad.
The city schools opened on Monday
with an enrolment of more than 80
300 pupils, besides many had to be
turned away for lack of room.
1t has been awfully warm here the
past few days days, it being 81 in the
shade Tuesday; yet you always have
% use cover at night.
l could write much more on this
ubject but | know the space in The
sentinel can be filled with more read
bile matter by my bringing this to a I
hose, so l will stop right here.
Best wishes for The Sentinel.
Yours truly, Is
CHAs. B. FARMER.

Attention, Farmers!

All the cotton not picked
before the long rainy spell is
sprouted and dirty. The only
Gin that will give you a good
sample from this damaged
cotton is the HULLER GIN.
Our ginnery, known as the
"Old Gin, located near the
Compress, is equipped with
four new H u l. l. Err GIN
STANDS and CLEANER
FEEDERS and they are just
the thing to give you a good
sample from this sprouted
and dirty cotton. The Hull
LER GIN is the only thing
used in the delta where they
turn out good sample from
cotton pickd with sticks, dirt,
leaves and bolls in it.
You don't want the price
knocked down a cent or two
on what little cotton you have
left by having these sprouts
go in with your lint and ruin
your sample.
Then bring your cotton to
us to be ginned.
We also pay the highest
price for seed.

SNYDER C0UNTYS FUTURE.
G-eat Wave of Prosperity Has Struck
Our Neiahbors.

A tidal wave of prosperity and ma
terial development is in evidence now
for Snyder county. The great water
power on Middle Creek, two miles
south of Selinsgrove, will be COM
pleted in three months. This has also
assured the construction of the toll
bridge across the river from Sunbury
to Shamokin Dam. As Il sequence,
the trolley road will be built from
Sunbury to Selinsgrovo this summer
and perhaps an extension to the Mid
die Creek Park, where the Middle
Greek Electric company proposes to
make summer resort on the edge of
the lake of their water power.
1t is said the Pennsylvania railroad
is contemplating the purchase of land
at Shamokin Dam for freight yard
and to bridge the river at Sunbury
and run Il track down on the west side
of the river to connect with the ward at
Selinsgrove and thence TO their Enola
freight yards, near Harrisburg.
A company of New York capitalists
are now figuring on extending the
trolley line from Selinsgrove to Dun
cannon 20 connect with the trolley
line from Harrisburg.

Guss Kleeman transacted business
in Danville Monday.
Isaac Acor transacted business at
Watsontown Saturday.
S. J. Dennen and family visited at
j. w. Ritter's Sunday,
George Hill, wife and son visited

vile, passed through town Sunday.
Our friend, James L. Brannen and

Frank Acor and wife were in town
Saturday. Frank reports of having
had bad luck by losing two fine
horses.
We are pleased to see that our
townsman, Hon. Lloyd w. Welliver,
has decided to be candidate for as
sociate judge. Mr.. Welliver is one
of the best townsmen in our country
a good neighbor, a friend to all, al
ways looking after the interest of his
friends. As Danville has all the
candidates for the different offices the
rural districts should certainly be
looked after. In our place we have IA
man that can fill the position with
credit not only to himself but to his
friends and we predict for him an
easy victory. As we have phones in
nearly every home in and near our
town we are in close touch with Dan
vile. Mr.. Welliver being a hustler
in all his undertakings, will, when
called upon to discharge the duty of
his office be in Danville and at his
post in due time. We hope, when
the votes are counted, to be represent
ed on the seat of justice by man
worthy of the honorable position Hon.
L. w. Welliver is asking for. For
we who know him well, know him to
be fully qualified to fill the place. .

Law Point Worth Knowing.

1t is not lawful to kill domesticated
animals caught destroying crops or
other property. For example, some
persons will shoot pigeons, or chickens
if found on their premises. This may
not be done legally and the person who
Ioes the shooting is liable to prosecu-
tion. The owner of such pigeons or
chickens, however, may be held for
damages done.
