Flyer Has Made Money.

Arrangements have practically been
completed and 1t is now an assured
fact that the Mexico-St. Louis special
which was placed In service last Jan
uary. will be continued throughout
the summer season, The heavy bust
ness done by the train in its short
career and the bright outlook for the
future are. responsible for its con
tinuance in the service.
The management of the National
has been anxious to keep the train
in service throughout the year and
several weeks ago took the matter
up with the Gould interests. FL. G
Dinkins, general agent OF the Gould
lines, stated a few days ago that the
Gould lines were heartily in favo,
OF keeping the train in service. which
practically settles the question.
In speaking Of the train. Mr.. Din
kins said: when we put the flyer
into the service we expected that Il
would be a losing proposition at least
for some time, but that the advertis.
ing that it would give the Mexican
trip would recompense the manage
ments of the losses. Instead Of los.
ing money the train has made money
and that from the start. The sum
mer rates. which will be effective In
June. are being widely advertised and
we will have a big tourist season dur
ing the months that the rates are IN
effect"
Mr.. Dinkins is Of the opinion that
the special bill be run through "a
Chicago by fall If not before.

Ely should move very carefully in tie
next six months or it will find many
crooked paths. There is much Ia he
done TO make the coming city model

Above all and every other consideration

DID YOU EVER?

Did you ever stop to consider the cost
of going from a small village to a city?
Did you ever do anything but find
fault with those in authority to assist
in the planning to enable city to grow
where stood the hamlet Yesterday?
If not it is time now to begin, for
Ely is fast approaching the limits of
city and in less than two years it will
be an accomplished fact. What proud
moment it would be for you if you can
stand on the paved streets and say
had hand in covering the dusty road
way with asphalt or to say that small
one story wooden shack stood on that
corner two years ago where today
stands that beautiful six story brick.
and the brick is my plan and stands as
monument to my memory.
The careless and the improvilcHt will
soon be crowded out of the procession
and be left at the post where they he
long in Ely's march on and upward.
But they will soon be obliged to con-
meet the cesspoo with the sewer, keep
the rubbish of the sidewalk and do all
else that people who live in a clean. mp
to-datc city do.
Think it over and sec if you can t lie
