Mulaer 6 LONGS Fall Opening.

The annual fall formal opening at the
Munger & Long store, Broadway and Fed
era street, Camden, will take place on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October
10th, 18th and 18th. Besides the usual
hours of the day, the store will be open even
ings in order to give every one an oppor-
tunity Of seeing the big store in its autumn
dress, TO hear the music, and to see the fine
display Of all the new fall merchandise.
Opening days are always a great magnet
for drawing the crowds at Munger q Longs
because every one feels perfectly free to go
whether on buy ing errand or not and con-
sequently they have an opportunity of fam
iliariziDg themselves with the many adyan-
tages offered, buying then or later, as ahey
feel disposed. Weeks Of hard work have
been spent getting things ready for opening
DAYS and when the throngs of people visit
the big store they will find an exposition
weIl worth the visit. Never before has the
house gathered together such a fine display
of the new stylish fall wears for men, wom-
en- and children, all OF which wilF be shown
in complete array on opening days and
evenings. On Thusday evening there will
be music by Jennings orchestra with fine
program

A Ball of Fire.

A large ball Of fire fell from the heavens
shortly before II o'clock last Sunday night,
and startled several persons who were pass
ing the Manley lot. George Scott, who
saw the phenomenon, said that the heavens
were lighted at the time, and as he looked
up the meteor came down with whizzing
sound and fell about 25 yards from him.
He was so badly frightened that be did not
follow it, but next day looked all around
the spot, but found nothing that looked
like it.
Several residents Of Panlsboro also saw
the fiery ball George McIlyaine, war
veteran, declared that ii went in a westerly
direction. and portsnded a great war, He
remembers that before the Civil War one
fell in this vicinity
The only war in sight is that scheduled
for November 5. Ii win last jnst one day,
and will be bloodless affair. Balls Of fire
that night hanks witness are not as serious
as some people pretend to belieye.

Of those places have petitioned for their re-
moval, yet Senator Avis elects TO refuse

tort to get the machine out Of the Third
Ward
On Tuesday morning travelled all the
way to Trenton to present the petition Of
the Third Ward voters TO the Hon. Secre-

removed. He politely informed me thai
tue voting machine would be removed
without petition, if Senator J. Boyd Avis
would say so. called him up on the tele-
phone at Jersey City requesting him to say
the word, which ne refused TO do. There
fore, signers Of the iemonsurance Of the

ing were read and approved, a veto message
from Mayor Ladd. of the ordinance vacating

nance become law notwithstanding the

tion become law notwithstanding the veto

( ing upon the basalt rocks and walls
CT weathered marble, and to acquaint
those in other parts of the country
with facts relative to this part of the
young, ever-changing west, in which
the people do things and then invite
others to come and share in their
prosperity. Jealous in their efforts
and jealousy guarding their envia-
Bile reputation as empire builders, it
cannot be said in fact, it has never
been said, that the residents of this
domain, whether pioneers or new
corners, are selfish. 1t is not the
spirit, nor is it necessary; there is
room and plenty for a population of
100000 in the Inland Empire.
While wheat is unquestionably
the king of all farm products of the
Inland Empire, especially in the
Palouse and Big Bend countries, the
time cannot be so far distant when
diversified agriculture will be
crowned emperor. This is so appar-
ent on all sides, as great expanses
of lands are being broken into tracts
of from five to fifty acres, it having
been found that by means of the in
tensified methods of farming five
acre tract of land will more than
support the average family, and give
them independence surrounded by
natures marvels, happiness and
comfort, while from 10 to % acres
will give the farmer a competency

it is based upon the actual expert
ences of men and women who have
made and are winning successes in

Alive and virile, instant to the
minutel Probably these seven words
describe, ii such a thing We're posi-
BILE, the swift and stirring times for
the people Of the Inland Empire of
the Northwest, in which history is
being made these days Important
events impend and their progress
means momentous years in the annals
of this domain of the interior and
in the history of the Northwest
What has been accomplished in the
last few years IS an epic. the romance
of human endeayor, the poem of
achievement; what the future holds
in store it is not in the province of
man TO compute or foreten with any
degree of accuracy, so numerous are
the opportunities and so vast the pos
sibilities presented on every hand
There is no menace to health, no
bar to wealth in this favored coun-
try where Nature is so bountiful in
her offerings, and the measure of
success obtained rests wholly with
those who contribute, in their own
way, brain, muscle or capital, in the
upbuilding of the communities in
which they decide to make their
homes.
The purpose of this article is to
tell the newcomers to the Northwest
something Of the progress that is be-
ing made in the Inland Empire.
which, comparatively few years
ago, was waste Of undeyeloped
lands, rank sagebrush and forest
wilds, through which the mighty
waters Of rivers and fails rushed

Washington and northeastern Ore
gon. Some of the mines are ship
ping and others will become produc-
ers. Marble deposits in Stevens
county and fireebrick and pottery
clay beds in Spokane county should
be added.
No one familiar with the mining
situation in the Northwest will make
a negative reply to the statement
that while millions of dollars worth
of metals have been taken out of
the hills in the Inland Empire, the
greatest part of the country remains
UNEMPLOYED, and that with develop
ment it will be the richest proiuc-
ing district on the continent. The
general run is higher than the rich
est copper mines in the world, in adj
dition to which there is un-
! told wealth in lead, silver,
gold, zinc and rarer ores. The I'M
covering of the fabulous wealth is
yet in its infancy, and its develop
ment will mean wave of prosperity
that has no parallel in the history
of the Northwest. All the elements
for riches are here; men and machin-
cry are alone necessary to develop
them and wrest from the earth the
vast treasures, so much in evidence
and so easy of access on all sides.
With railroads, steam and electric,
tapping the various districts, and the
development of the great water pow
err will come new towns, new life
and new industries. In these inves-
tors will find new spheres, while the
homeseeker will have congenial sur
roundings, which make life in the
great Northwest worth the living.
1t is not alone in the development Of
its immense natural resources that
the people of the Inland Empire are
concerned. There is the work Of
building new communities and the
improvement and identifying of
those in existence. The transcontf-
mental highways of steel have
brought into closer connection the
Atlantic and the Pacific coasts and
people from every state in the Union
and from every country in Europe
are building up a typical American
population Trails are being replac-
ed by highways of steel, over which
steam and electrically propelled
coaches, fitted with every convent
ence, follow the pioneers long bodi-
ed schooner with its bucket of tar
swung from the rear axle. While
the aborigine is still in evidence on
the various reservations, the legen-
dairy days of the buffalo and the In
dian warrior are all that is left.
Comfortable homes of contented peo-
pie occupy the former stamping
grounds of the migratory red men,
and where once the coyote yelped in
the brush and plain, the wheels of
industry hum merrily, and activity
and enterprise are seen everywhere

Ten engines will be awarded to the
Pasco division of the Northern Pa
cific in its allotment of new locomo-
tives. They will be the largest

Recently several of class w loco
motives passed through here bound
for the shops at South Tacoma. This
is the heaviest freight engine made
and the Pacific division gets 10 of
them. They are shipped knocked

The Pacific division is also to re-

Mala class mountain engines to be
used between Easton and Lester.
Their tonnage capacity is double
that of the engines now in use, of
which it now requires three to pull
1900 tons from Easton or Lester to
the summit. The division is also to
receive Is prairie" engines for use
between Tacoma and Portland. This
class is built for swift running.
The Ellensburg yard is to receive
five of the largest switch engines
made-class L; the division will re-
ceive 10 of this class.
That yard has also been so ar
ranged as to accommodate 700 more
cars than formerly, giving room now
for nearly 1000 cars. Fhe new ar
rangement is such that trains from
either direction can enter and leave
the yards without interfering in any
way with another or stopping the
yard engines from their work, thus
effecting great saving in time and
labor.
