most sitting.
Cannons we're brought into
use to prevent a spread of the

there being millions of barrels
of crude oil in the immediate
vicinity.
The standard OIL tanks here are

II seems impossible to induce
President Roosevelt to visit Paducah.
but he is coming so close in October
that it behooves us to show him how
close, by sending representation to
the Cairo reception. Paducah should
have boat of her own and escort
the president down the river to Cairo
as it is understood the reception
there is joint affair in which Ken
lucky is supposed to participate.

is not the case then one man 'or set

Hopes Of harmony in Louisville
actuate the governor. according TO
dispatches; but since Mayor Bingham
stated that there never was and never
would be fair primary in Louisville
under John Vreeland and that Vree-
land and former Mayor Granger had
misrepresented to him their plans. to
which both gentlemen replied with a
reiutation of his declaration, we
claim the privilege Of judging for
ourselves as to the kind of harmony
the governor really expects.

railroad tracks in the heart of Padu-
cab, where a spark from a passing
engine may ignite something in the
yard at any moment. Should this
happen, or lightning explode a tank,
the whole city might be endangered,
and surrounding property would be
at the mercy of the flames. Such
concerns should be banished from
the populous sections of a city. They
may Just as well be located in the
Outskirts as in the heart of Paducah.
1t might require a little more haul
ing and entail little more expense
for the Standard oil company. but
that gigantic concern is better able
to afford little heavier fixed ex-
pense, than are property owners in
Paducah the cost of a conflageration.

When the captain noticed that the

of the Pengwern of his danger, but be
fore the tug reached the doomed YES

which were whipped up by the gale and
a strong tide, threw her on her beam

The Vulcan steamed alongside the
Pengwern, actually grazing the strand

repeated requests, refused to jump. one
