JACK MUNROE WILL
MIX THINGS WITH
MARVIN HART.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Nov. Jack Munroe
and Marvin Hart will meet in a heavy
weight bout probably the last part of
this month, or early next month. The
miner has been getting in condition for
several weeks at the Thousand Islands
Hotel. while Hart has been training for
some weeks getting ready for Mike
Schreck.
Hart's two contests here-one with
George Gardner, and the other with
Kid Carter-made the Kentucky colonel
a tremendous local drawing card. Hart
made good in those two bouts. The Lin
coin Club matchmaker has been anx-
ious for some time to get bout for
heavyweights.

AGAINST spELLING REFORM.

Not only the Navy. but the Treasury
department. has turned upon the re-
formed spelling with an appeal to the
book of United States Revised Statutes.
When the printery began to print the
title Comptroller" as controller" Mr..
Tracewell declared that the laws knew
only such an official as the comp
troller" of antiquity, and he denied
that the President has any authority
to change existing law. The hydro
graphic bureau of the navy also rises
to protest If the charts say "fixt"
lights, In stead of ''fixed," foreign nav
igators will not understand The re-
form has It's troubles.-Springf gfield Re-

Tie trip of the Studebaker car had a
good effect one that will mean a great
deal TO the automobilist and every one
who uses the highways. The contin-
ual missing of the right roads has i'm
pressed on Mr.. Weaver the necessity of
having guide posts He said yester-
day:
'It is hard to keep on the right road
to Los Angeles If you have not been
over the road before, and I feel that
our house cannot do anything better
for our customers than to erect
sign posts all along the road. Not
only are we going to erect these posts,
but we will put up danger and warn
ing signs similar to those used all
through the East. We have agents in
all the towns of the State, and we will
have them watch these signs and see
that they are always in place. l am GO
ing to make slow trip over the road
shortly to note all places where signs
should be erected, and as soon as I re-
turn I will order them made and
erected"
Manager Gardiner of the White

pany will go after the record with a
new 1907 model just as soon as the

Looking farther afield. he saw that q

been practically shut off from the

cheapening of freight rates, to the ad-
vantage of tile whole country"
"You are right, OF course" answered
Duncan refectively. II have gone over
that subject very consclentiously. |

"Almost Immediately. I've got ey.

a talking tour than q speaking one,

cooperation Of all the country editors

This proposed railroad was one clear
ly destined to be of the utmost conse-
quence to Cairo and to the region
through which the line must run. The
method by which it was planned to Sc
cure Its construction was the one then
In general use throughout the west. 1t
may be simply explained. Everybody
concerned was asked to subscribe to
what might properly have been called
an inducement fund. The subscrip-
tions were meant to be gifts made to
secure the benefit Of the railroads con-
struction. More important than these
personal subscriptions and vastly
greater In amount were the subscrip-
tions of counties, cities and towns.
Under the law as 1t then existed each
county, city or town, II It's people so
voted, could 'lend its credit" to an en-.
terprise of this kind by issuing its own
bonds. When sufficient sum was
raised In this way an effort was made,
usually in New York. to secure the
forming Of construction company.
The whole volume Of the subscriptions
was offered as an inducement to such
construction company to undertake
