The editor of the EXPRESS was
the recipient this morning of a
boutonaire In the shape of an inn
mense rose, or rather two of them,
but their size aud the modesty of
the recipient forbids more than
display of them in vase at our
office. The roses were raised by
Mrs. Chas. HolIingsworth from
last years cuttings and are known
as the bridesmaid; they are a
beautiful pale pink and the out
stretched petals measure FIVE inches
across; they are fully twice or three
times the size of the ordinary rose
and have a delicious fragrance.

MAS A LIVELY YOUNG TOWN
Rapid Growth Of Antler Not Exactly
Echoed by Freight Car Depot
-Sig Wheat Yield.

The town has grown faster
than the railroad can keep pace
with it, and the station is not yet
built, says Ralph d. Paine, In the
Outing Magazine. On a siding
stands a boxcar, with flight Of
wooden steps leading up to its
side door and a stovepipe poked
through the roof. An alert and
capable young woman reigns
within as station and express
agent and telegraph operator
She has even fenced off one cor
ner of the car, near the stove, as
a waiting room" 1t is such an in
significant looking makeshift OF
a station and the town is so in
credibly new that the information
she bestows in reply to your ques-
tion is staggering.
''In the first two weeks the sta,
tion was opened the freight re.
ceipts at Antler were $4,000
This is big, if you happen to know
that $500 worth of business Il
month justified the company in
building station and putting in
salaried agent. The country
looks kind of empty to a stranger
don't it? There doesn't look tC
be much of anything besides Ant
Ter on this part of the map. And
Antler isn't what you would cal
a metropolis back east in Mich
igan, where | was raised. But this
Httle brand-new town will shiI
out 100000 bushels of wheal
next fall. That means nearl,
| 100000 in cash coming in to these
farmers around here, and mos
Of it spent right here in Antler
The railroad will get about 500,
600 in freight receipts from thu
wheat that is hauled from the new
elevators at Antler. And tha
pays for a good many miles o
track over this fiat country. Oh
we are doing pretty well, thanl
you"

EQUAL TO NINE ELEVATORS
Moving Stairway, or Exalator, Fully
Tested in Holiday Rush
in New York.

The moving platform, applied
either as a sidewalk over bridges
or as a stairway, is attracting the
close attention of experts. III re-
gard to the former use, exact fig
ures conclusively established the
extraordinary carrying capacity
Of the moving platform as com
pared with a train of street cars,
as well as the smaller amount OF
current needed to haul the load.
In like manner moving stair
ways or exalators, as they are
called, are far more efficient than
elevators in handling large
crowds in department stores and
similar places of business. In
two large stores in New York and
Boston during the recent holiday
season a careful count of the mum
Der OF people carried by the exala
tors and the elevators was made
The results went to show that a
single exalator was equal in eff
fciency to eight or nine elevators
Furthermore, as the ascending
and descending crowds are mar
shaled by the exalators and never
allowed to come into conflict, the
advantage in preventing confu
sion and congestion is great and il
striking contrast to the conditions
attending the handling of similar
crowds by ordinary elevators
The exalator assuredly has come
to stay.
