Boats This Month.

1t is announced positively that
the Missouri River Improvement AS
ISOLATION has made arrangements for
two boats and two barges to be |
operated between St. Louis and Kan
sas City as soon as freight can be
assembled and loaded.
The Lexington Merchants Retail
Association ought to take immediate
steps to have the first load land some
freight at Lexington, When the
boat comes a big demonstration ought
to be made-a demonstration that
would deserve and receive notice in
all the metropolitan papers. A boat
line would mean a great deal ulti-
mately to all the old river towns.
OF course at first, with no good land
ing near 10th street and no freight
storage house, only non-perishaole
goods could be safely shipped in that
way. But tits exceedingly important
that the merchants should show en-
thusiastic interest in this enterprise
which is sure to yield valuable re-
turns In the end.
The objects Of the improvement
Association are to secure congress
ional aid to the improvement OF tn
river channel; to induce more favor
able freight rates by rail; and t.
revive commerce by water in all tn
. articles which are adapted to waite
5 transportation. The benefits Of thes
things will accrue specially to rive
towns. These towns ought to b
s alive to this opportunity. Let tn
e merchants see to it that part Of sh
first cargo ia destined for Lexington
d And the people should not fail
/, show by big demonstration the
le interest in this matter.

GARDEN CITIES.
Many Of Them Abroad and
Growing Number in u. S.

The idea of garden cities is spreading
with great rapidty not only abroad but
in this country. Tho term in France
and Great Britain includes welfare work.
The general secretary or the Garden
City Association of France, Monsieur
Gorges Benoit Levy Of Paris, recently
made trip through the United States
to investigate the social service, or as
he prefers to call It, thes Garden City
movement in the United States. He
made his investigations largely under
the guidance of the American Institute
OF Social Service, which has published
Il brief article by Monsieur Benoit Levy
giving his Impressions Of his American
trip. lie says that to make garden
cities Is not only to buy ground, and
to build cottages, but these cottages
must be inhabited by wel-eduoated citl-
cordial relationship between capital and
labor, and in the city itself there must
be spirit of citizenship y the crea-
tors OF the new city must be munufac-
.turers, and so much as they have adopt
ed the social hetterment policy,so much
can we expect to have In the near flu
ture in the creation of good cities,
Monsieur Renoit Levy was particular
lly impressed with his interview with
President Roosevelt, whom lie quotes as
Saying: Il believe in your garden cities,
and trust tho civic evolution OF Amer,
lea will give to every man the chance
for q happy life. This end will be pro-
NOTED by our numerous Industries which
are doing so much for social service,
and viii be eShilarated II they establish
their plants In the country where heal.
thy and beautiful communities can be
creatra.,' Assn result Of his visit Mon
.sieur Henoit Levy who has investigated
the subject both here and abroad, and
who has written extensively on his Inn
rlesslpns, expresses the belief that
America ,isii tho country for future gar
den cities. ~ ia Ii, N, II IN

The Wheat Trains.
Standing on the bridge going over the
railroad, we are In the center of the larg-
est railrc~d yard of the world, belonging
to q single trunk line. At least the Win
nipeggers say so. Thc<2 are one hundred
and ten miles OF track, covering acres
about us. and at this time they are filed
with cars carrying the wheat to the great
elevators at Fort William and Port Ar
thur, in order that 1t may be taken down
the lakes as soon as navigation opens.
During the season a wheat train goes out
OF this yard every hour OF the day and
night, and altogether half million busi,-
els of wheat leave here for Fort William
every twentyfour hours. Five bushels of
wheat will make all the flour man eats
the year around, SO that every day enough
wheat goes over these tracks to feed
100000 men for one year.

Built Up BY Americans.
A large part OF the new city has am

was stagnant until Yankee capital and
Yankees turned their faces this way. It
then began to boom. Men from Minne-
sofa and other parts of the west came
here to deal in grain and the chehp lands.
They opened business establishments of
various kinds, and to-day some of the
best of the city blood has come from
across the border. There are now eight
