ton Can be Secured.

For some time the brickyard in
the Commercial League and several
outside parties, with the hope that
it could be established. There have
been sufficient Investigations and
tests made to satisfy the local parties
that brick could be manufactured in
paying quantities in this city. The
have proven all that has been claimed
for the soil.
Over IA month ago two members OF
the tiIm of Frank Jachn * Co., of
Springfield. Mimi, we're in the city
to Investigate the brickmaking in-
dustry. Previous to that time they
had made one or two bricks from the
sample of clay and they turned out
good. The representatives wanted
to give the soil a more thorough test
and when they were here the men
loaded up a carload OF the clay soil
and shipped it to their factory at
Springfield and made up a large
quantity of the brick.
Thursday evening j. Il. Morrow and
A.. II. l1ager returned from a trip to
Springfield. where they had d con-
SultatiOn with the members of tine
Jachn company. and they brought
home a sample of the brick that was
made from the carload of soil. In
comparison with other brick shipped
here they ale superior, in that they
are clear and lack any substance that
will cause the brick in time to
crumble.
Mr.. Morrow stated that the Jachn
company was satisfied with the soil
and that a splendid quality of brick
co Id be made from it. The COM
pany, Nh. Morrow said, did not ask
any bonus from the citizens, other
than that they be given an option on
tile l6G acres OF land for a period of
TWO years, In order that they can
test the soil in several places in
oroer to obtain the best soil on the
tract.
At Springfield the Jachn company
has S25, 600 invested in their plant
and they employ 40 men, turning out
$4,000 brick a. day. The company
will establish the same kind OF a
plant in Mitchell and will bring to
the city 30 families as a starter. The
brick can be manufactured cheaper
in Mitchell, according to the state
ment OF the company, than at Spring.

Mitchell brick can tie burned for
one-third less. TINS being due to the
soil.
The land is located two miles
southeast of town, and the Mill
waukee railroad stands ready to put

they are established.
MesSrs. lIager and Morrow will
commence at once to ecrre an op-
tiOn on the land. which is owned by

TRAINS NOW RUN THROUGH
Murdo is the Jumping Off Place of
the Milwaukee Extension Now
Instead of FRESNO.

a new tlme-card was issued for
the White River Valley Railroad
Co. today, which the
extension of the Milwaukee train
service into Murdo, and the passen-
ger train went to that station Satur-
day for the first time. The passen-
ger which leaves here at $3.50 p. III.
will reach Murdo at III p. m., and
returning the train will leave Murdo
at 4 u. m., reaching Mitchell at 10 40
a M. by reason Of the new condi-
tion of the track the trains are
necessarily run slower than they will
be after the roadbed has become
more solid. The distance from
Mitchell to Murdo is l42 miles.
Just how the train crews will be
used to make the run between San
born ..and Mitchell and Murdo has
not been decided upon, and ii the
transferof the crews is made here it
will bring quite few new families
to town. a half dozen families have
already come here in anticipation OF
the change, among whom are Mr..
and Mrs. Craig Wilson and James
Alexander and family. 1t is going

WILL INCREASE PLANT
Mitchell Gas Co. Will Make Add
lions to its Lighting Plant for
Larger Capacity.

Mitchell has been growing so fast
in the past year or two that the
Mitchell Gas Co. finds it's plant in
adequate to the situation. Manager
White informed The Republican to-
day that work would commence to-
morrow in enlarging the electric
light plant to admit OF more ma
chinery. The addition to the build
ing will be placed on the east end Of
the structure. Mr.. White stated
that a new boiler would be added,
that a new engine would be installed
and that another dynamo would be
placed in the building, all of which
would amount to a comfortable sum
of money in the way Of expenditure.
With its additional equipment the
company will be in very good posi-
tion to furnish sufficient light with
the new buildings that are in course
Of erection and which will make
quite an addition to the CONSUMING
force Of the city in the way of
lights.
The company is making a deter
mined effort to give a good service
to the citizens Of Mitchell. Over a
month ago an all night service was
established and it has been found to

selected as the guard of honor at the City
Hall.
Those precursors of the present Seventh
wanted TO have a distinctive uniform.
The color they selected has distinguished
the Seventh Regiment from that day to
this. The story is told that gray was
selected through some of the officers seeing
Private Philetus Holt attired In q short gray
coat useful in his business as a -four mer-
chant, Private Holt had been called to
the colors suddenly and appeared In the
trousers Of his regular uniform, but did
not have time to change the coat he wore
while handling flour.
. His appearance was strlking enough to
make the officers decide to recommend gray
as the color for the command and 1t was
adopted forthwith. 1t was the first military
body to adopt such a uniform outside the
Military Academy at West Point.
WHOLE REGIMENT IN 1925.
1t was in 1926 that they came to be a
whole regiment all by themselves, and when
they received the State standard from Gov.
Clinton at Castle Garden the West Point
cadets were present to add to the spectacle
and were afterward entertained at Morse's
Hotel on Park Row.
To tell the history Of the regiment in
those days is to tell the history Of the town.

eminent refused to accept this condition,
and the regiment saw no war service.
The mon who had helped TO maintain
the regiment as one Of the crack commands
of the country insisted that 10 enlist under
the conditions prescribed by the Govern
ment would deplete and disorgapize the
regiment and destroy forever all the results
OF their work and the work Of those who had
gone before them. There are many who
have always believed that this point was
well taken ard that some change should he
made by which such a regiment as the
Seventh should be permitted in time of
war TO enlist under its own organization,

made a trihe more than 500 900 clear profit
for the department last year.
Yet where did the money come from
which bought that exchange? The ques-
ton leads up TO the third important function
the New York money order office performs
--thnt Of a clearing house for all the post
offices, large and small, in the Eastern part
OF the country.
To each Office is allowed a fixed sum for
a working balance. Any surplus over this
must be sent TO the nearest large post office.
Thus al New England pours money into
the Boston office, and the almost daily over
flow up there flows into New York. This
Office deposits everything over its daily
working balance Of $500 600 into a sort OF
! general post Office surplus at the local Sub
Urea sury, known as the Postmastor-Ge
erals account.
The foreign exchange is paid for out Of tho
regular daily receipts of the office, Other
wise. but rarely, II is purchased with checks
drawn against this account
In precisely the same way the New York
office turns about and plays another role,
that Of a money lending banking corpora
ton. Last year it supplied 1000 secondary
money order Offices when occasion de-
mandod. The loans 1t gave out OF tho
daily receipts, dra wing in the same way
on the p. NJ. G.'s account when necessary.
These minor offices have a fixed amount

against which they can write drafts, cash.

Greiner at Buffalo cashed drafts against
New York for 80, 800, 900. Buffalo has a
standing credit of $50 900. and as fast as 1t
office OF the Postmaster General. All told,
postmasters' drafts paid by the metropoh-
tan office last year aggregated s27,o l,S7e,
while remittances were sent in totalling
$50, 882 SAT.
And 80 this great banking business
for that Is what II amounts to-goes on day
after day, always increasing, always call ne
for more men and more men, always being
improved by the head who has put check

Supt. Elliott went to work In the post
office at IA, facing up letters. In 1894 he
made the first run from New York 10 WASH

operated.
In 1868 he was transferred to the money
