roads. The proposal 10 permit trolley
roads 10 carry freight. and the sugses-
tion that a State commission ihvesu-
gate actual distances by rail, and com
pare them with the distances for Whleh
conductors pull mileage" are early pro
pcsals looking to retaliation. II Is al
legged that the travelling public is pay

The Reliance Club has practically
reached g decision to give up its pres

soon as its lease expires-May l, 1907
Negotiations have been under way for
some weeks with the owner OF the
clubhouse. who offered to make what
alteration and improvements that were
necessary on condition that the club
sign a five-year lease. However, the
owner asked monthly rent which the
management of the club considered ex-
orbitant, and 1t has been finally an
nounced that the organization will re-
move. President Walter B. Fawcett
declares that local capitalist has sig
nified his willin gness to erect a build
ing with all advantages, including
central location. and at terms which
will be acceptable to the club. This
proposition is now under consldera-
