As soon as his Ak-Sar-Ben duties are
over Chairman VIII Yetter OF the trade
extension committee of the Commercial
club will place before his committee for
Investigation and consideration the ques-
ton OF freight boat and barge line on
the Missouri river from Omaha to St
Louis. Mr.. Yetter has received so many
inquiries as to the advisability of such a
project and so many suggestions from
Omaha shippers and those Of other towns
along the river that he feels it is UP to the
Commercial club to learn II river transpor-
tation is feasible
III the plan Is feasible" said Mr.. Yetter,
I'VE can ship our grain to the gulf and
bring back other goods at about one-ffth
what the railroads are charging u.s. We
can ship by water route most of the mer-
chandise that now comes by rail from the
Atlantic seaboard, and can get II here

Small boats used to ply on the Missouri
river as far north as Yankton and do not
think the river is any smaller or shallower
than IL was then. The population and trade
in those days was not large enough to war.
rant frequent trips and navigation wal
made dangerous by the fact that the cur.
rent was constantly changing. so finally
the boats ceased to come up the rivei
farther than Kansas City.
AT present trafic would be so heavy that
boats would be going continually up and
down and changes in the current would
be noted daily.
The first requisite would be 10 have the
government survey the river and improve II
In the dangerous places. Millions Of dol
lars are being spent on river improvement
annually In the east and Nebraska and
Iowa certainly ought 10 be able to get
their share OF appropriations. With pilots

If the council would get. options
from the property owners on the
burnt district for widening the street
from Kibler, Dennis and company's
furniture store to the: depot and then
purchase about ten or fifteen feet: it
would add greatly to the appearance
Of the city. 1t night be that those
who own this property would give the
land. It would benefit them as much
if not more than any one. else and
would pay them to give it to the city
on condition that the sidewalks be
fixed up in keeping with those on the
other side Of the street. And posi-
bly, those who own property across the
street would cooperate in having the
street widened. The matter is worth
considering before any buildings are
erected. There is only one building
on the street now that is worth much
and no doubt Mr.. Mower, who owns
this, would give the council liberal
proposition because it would greatly
improve his property while being of
great advantage to the city.

It seems to US that more noise is
being made about the use Of request
!: books. than is necessary. IF that is
all that is wrong with the dispensary
it is in good shape.-Newberry Her
aid and News.
Does The Herald and News mean
to condone the open violation Of the
law. which requires the use of re-
quest books ?-Pee Dee Advocate.
Not at all. We do not condone the
violation Of law in any respect. But
this failure to use request books has
been the practice from the beginning
Of the system in this state, and where
they were used was the exception,
and we can see no good in making
''hurrah play'' about the failure
to use request books at this late day.
If that is all that the investigation
can accomplish there was little use for
its existence. There is no good in the
use of request blanks anyway, and
never was. But it is the law, you
say, and should be enforced. Well,
yes, that is true and it is also the law
that if you have a horse worth 5000
you must assess him for taxation at
5000 and yet the whole tax depart
ment says that it shall be at 60 per
cent Of the value, and much Of the
property is at a less rate than 60 per
cent Of the value.

BUILDING A GREAT RAILROAD.
Three Thousand Laborers Now at
Work on Road Between Marion,
N. c., and Spartanburg.

Charlotte, N. c., April ll.-Three
thousand laborers, many Of them for
elgners, representing the first of the
immigrants to vome to this state in
numbers, are now engaged in con-
structing the South and Western Rail-
road from Marion, N. c., to Spartan
burg, S. c., and possibly to Clinton,
S. c..
The building Of this road is one Of
the greatest things that has happened
in many years for the industrial de-
velopment Of the western part of the
state. On account of the mountain
Gus nature Of the country, where the
road begins, it promises to be one of
the most expensive in the country,
mile for mile. There are to be not
less than seventeen tunnels through
the mountains in an eighteen-mile
stretch Of the road, which will make
the cost per mile go far beyond $1O,-
900. A dozen huge boilers and ma
chinery for boring are kept running
night and day, going through the
mountains, the tunnel work is being
carried on from both ends. Strange to
say there will not be a trestle on the
road in the mountain section, so care
fully is thes urveying plan mapped
out. There are no bonds asked for by
the promoters Of the gigantic enter
prise and ample capital is behind it.
It is said that the South and West
ern will have trains running into
Spartanburg by May, 1908.
Speculation now is directed towards
the question, "Will the road build to
the coal fields of West Virginia, and
thence to the sea by means Of connec-
tions with roads already built?" This
is causing more guessing than any
other feature Of the enterprise, but
the promoters have succeeded in keep
ing their movements and plans quiet,
and they had hundreds of laborers at |
work in the mountains, and shovels
and drills at work on a big scale be-
fore the people Of the state realized
what had been transpiring almost di-
rectly under their observation.
