RIGHT is WITHDRAWN.

The most important of the proceed
ings of the Transcontinental Passen-
ger Association in Chicago, was the
withdrawal from all Eastern railroads
of the right to sell reduced rate tick
cts to California except to railway en-
ployes and members of dependent fam
lilies, clergymen and missionaries, but
not their families. The new order of
things excludes army and navy en-
ployes, Indian school teachers and all
others who heretofore have enjoyed
reduced rates.

OPEN TO ALL.

l would like to ask the board of
works through your paper why it is
that the most beautiful drive way into
Glen Miller, the Main entrance, has
been left without lights. Is it neglect
ed. or is it economy. I think either
excuse a poor one. This is a drive
that should have your attention as
there came near being a serious acct
dent Friday evening on account of

MAKING TEST OF CEMENT.
OFFICIALS OF THE PENNSYLVAN-
IA ARE MAKING ESTIMATES.
The Supply of Wooden Poles Is Con-

Other Hand Price is Rising.

After making a thorough test of &C.
ment as a substance for making te1e-
graph poles, officials of the Pennsyl-
vania lines west are preparing esti-
mates of the cost and it is likely that
this company will be the first to
adopt the concrete poles in preference
to the wooden poles as the future
standard pole for use on the COM
pany's system. The supply of wooden
poles is constantly diminishing, while
on the other hand the price is con-
stantly increasing.

OUR ANSWER IS TILED
In the Action For Civi! Libel Preferred
By Mayor Eaton.

Through Attorney John NJ. Mar
tin the Enterprise editor on Wed
nesday served upon Attorney Shea
for the plaintiff, his answer to the
complaint of William H. Eaton,
mayor of the city of Virginia, in his
suit for $4,000 for alleged injury to
his reputation resulting from GER
tain specified excerpts from the
columns of The Enterprise during
the past few months.
The answer admits the publica-
ton of such items, also that written
notice demanding retraction
thereof was served upon us, but
contends that cas- to whether plain
tiff demanded such retraction ac-
cording to law this defendant al
leges that he has no knowledge or
information thereof sufficient to
form belief
Continuing, the defendant in his
answer, says:
"Defendant especially denies that
any or all Of said published articles
or statements we're written or
published or made naliCiously
OR for the purpose Of holding the
plaintiff up to ridicule, bat defend
ant alleges that each and every one

that this defendant had and has

who has sworn to uphold the laws
of the state to the best of his judg-
ment and ability, the clerk was in
structed to return the plans to Ar
chitect Radcliffe, together with
Contractor Sampson's recommen-
dations, and ascertain the cost of
such plans and SPECIFICATIONS both
with and without experimenting
construction.
Mr.. Sampson also advised the
council that the plans as presented
were imperfect; that if plans should
be adopted as presented the city
would be liable to the full Associa.
tion price of 31a per cent, including
experimenting construction, but
that the architect would not be en-.
titled to that percentage in view of
the changes adoptec. In consider
ing this matter the mayor also re.
marked that in his opinion the
proper act would be to pay for the
plans and specifications and hire
someone here to look after the
work of construction, asserting that
the city had one experience in the
erection of the city hall building,
which he claimed to have been told
had IL inch walls built of inch
brick in places.
The city also ordered the pay
ment of $3275.OO to the First Nation
al Bank on general fund bonds and
interest thereon. This leaves the
city indebtedness at the present
time about $8,OOO!O0.
