If YOU want to see whole drove of
Teddy bears just look at Brad Hills
north show window, and You will find
them of all shapes, sizes and colors
and some which by pressure of con-
cealed battery show cleaning eyes of
lire. Brad does not seem to think
that dealing in this fad is any i'm
pairmcnt of his Democracy, for the
same reason the writer has given for
listening to Republican orators. that
Nothing serves more to maintain
the groundwork of his political belief
than to listen to the best forensic eff
forts of the opposition.
The car-Shortagc has paralyzcd
some of our local industries. The
pipe factory has practically shut
down, the mills partially closed and
there seems to be no hope of I'M
proved condition in the near future.
The excuse alleged is that exception
ally large fruit and cereal crops re-
quire the use of every available car
for placing them in a ready market,
but that does not explain why the
manufacturers at Seattle and Ia.
coma have no complaint to make of
want of means of transportation. 1t
seems the Northern Pacific cOntin-
ually has it in, as the gamin says,
for our town and people.
The County Commissioners have
ordered the Surveyor to prepare
plans for bridge over the Black
River on the Rochester Nina road.
and rejected the bids of Mr.. Davis
and f. ID. COtter, for the Rich bridge
on the DeschutteS. near Plum Sta
ton, as being too high. They were
for 1919 and 1879 respectively. An
order was made to pay 800 for work
done on the Shields road, near Blu
coda, by Mr.. Steinhart at half
the cost, the remainder being paid
by residents benefited, as stipulated.
The Board also agreed to the trans
fer of the liquor license of Swift &
Son, at BucOda, to Joseph Earring
ton.
If we are to believe the generally
expressed opinion of the press along
the route of the Gentry show, we
must form the belief that it is larger
and better than ever. Its exhibit of
wild animals reduced to state of
tractability and apparently endowed
with reason, commands admiration
and surprise of all who witness it.
One of the features that is specially
interesting to young and old is the
presence of Mrs Tom Thumb (nOw
Countess MargD who is not alto
gether stranger to our people, hav-
ing appeared in the theater here a
decade ago. The children should see
this show for educational objects, and
the grown people to spend happy
hour in retrOspectiOn, when they
were young and the circus tent had
all the attractions to them of a
veritable palace of Aladdin. 1t will
appear here next Tuesday.
Although the Street Committee by
order of the City Council, has OBJ
tanned the piles and much of the
lumber for the bridge on Fifth street
across the eastern arm of the bay, q
proposition has been submitted to
the Council to change the character
OF the improvement to q fill by sluic-
ing soil from the abOve-grade streets
on Eastside hill. While it is esti-
mated that the change would involve
about five times the cost originally
contemplated, it would result in con-
verting much valueless area into lots
that will sell from 5000 to $1,000
each. On the other hand, some pro-
vision will have to be made for the
expense already incurred before a
change can be made. The petition
for change is signed by 81 of the 20
property holders interested in tie
improvement. The matter was re-
ferred to the Committee on Streets,
Wharves and Bridges, to formulate q
report that will cover the situation
and suggest some equable means of
procedure.
