BUSINESS INCREASING AT GOODING
Postmaster Eselus Reports Sub

f. G. Egeius, postmaster Of Gooding,
was in shoshoue, Saturday. on business.
He reports that the mail business in
Gooding has trebled within the past
three months, until it is now almost
equa 70 that Of Shoshone The rail-
road receipts in the Gooding Office for
the month Of October reached the sur
2rising total Of over Si5, 900, making it
one Of the best towns on the Short
Lire system. II is expected that the
receipts for this month will run even
higher. as there are dozens Of cars on
the side tracks, that have been there
for weeks, waiting for a chance to UNI
load at the warehouse or the loading
chutes. At one time there were almost
100 cars on the track, waiting for
ehshce to unload. New buildings are
being started daily, both in the business
and the resident districts, and one who
has been away for two weeks can
hardly recognize the place, because Of
the new buildings. A large quantity
Of concrete sidewalk has been laid, and
mach more is 10 be laid yet this fall, if
the weather holds good.

Another Election in Montana.

l.. w. Robinson has many interest
ing experience to relate about the pc.
Iitical campaign in Montana through
which he passed and the result in his
county was 50 close that the official
count is necessary to determine who
are elected, and as he was candidate
for the legislature his interest in the
result may be regarded as somewhat
personal. In three counties the vote
was a tie and new election must be
held. One Of his trips in the higher
attitudes will long be remembered as
he was caught ina snow storm and was
out all night, the automobile that was
to convey his party being blocked by
The snow.

Escambia County Feels
 Need For Better Roads
BY DIR. w. A. LoVETT.

Brewton, April 7.--(Specidl) )-The Age- Herald is to be commended for it's h. stigation of a campaign for better roads throughout the state. Escambia county needs more than anything else better system of working roads and modern road-building facilities.
 In this county the old method of warn ing the hands along the public highway to meet the overseer with pick and shovel still exists, although an effort was made about a year ago to issue bonds for road building purposes For some reason the issue was never brought to vote of the people of the county, and interest in this important matter seems to have lapsed. A county road supervisor is paid a salary by the commissioners court, but there seems to be something lacking in the ef- fectiveness of this method to produce roads over which the farmers may haul their produce at the minimum cost
 James H. Stowell, Mayor of Brewton, said this morning: ''There is no doubt but that we need better roads and need them badly As to how this may be brought about I am not in position to say just now but so far as Escambia county s roads are concerned, they could be im- proved considerably by little work from time to time. They do not receive the att tention they should"

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Improvements In Big Railway and
 Power Projects.

Columbus, Ca, April 7.-(Special.)- The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in it's regu- lar issue:
 Important developments in big rail- way and power projects formed an in- teresting feature of the business news of the past week in Georgia and Alabama The Central Georgia Power company is proceeding steadily in the execution of it's ambitious plans to utilize water power in Georgia on such a large scale that $36,0O0,000 capital will be required in car rying out the several proposed projects on the Ocmulgee, Ozone and Flint rivers. The Atlanta and Carolina Railway com pany, which will build an electric rail way from Atlanta, Ga, to Augusta, Ga, ha given notice to the Georgia railroad commission of its desire to issue S6,000, 600 of bonds and thereby provide the money for doing the construction work The contract has been given to A. and C. wright to fill in all gaps on the At lanta and Floirda railway, between Au- gusta, Ga, and Valdosta, Ga. This will involve 100 miles of heavy grading and the contract calls for something like $1,500,000 for doing the construction work. The Atlanta. Birmingham and At lantic railway has just filed deeds for nearly half million dollars of terminals and rights-of-way in and around Bir- mingham, Ala.
 Reports to The Index show that it was a lively week in real estate, good many transactions of importance being
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-08

While the question of railroad rates has been pushed to the limit by the recent legislature and continues to be agitated at great cost to the state in our efforts to remedy a supposed evil in the matter of unjust freight and passenger rates, we have lost sight of the fact that the greatest cost to the farmer in the delivery of freight to his own home is not the rates charged by the railroads, but the wear and tear on wagons horses, har ness, etc., and time consumed in making trips to the freight depots for small amounts of freight that could be hauled to their homes on one load instead of three or four if only good roads were used.
 If the farmers can be made to under stand that the wear and tear on their farm stock and wagons is more than sui ficient to keep up their part of the in- creased taxation incident to a bond issue for road-building purposes. to say nothing of the loss of time in making trips to town and amount of freight hauled. there is no doubt but that they will readily vote for any measure that will afford them an increased amount of pleasure in driving from place to place and be less straining on their own nervous systems.
 Better markets will be provided for all kinds of produce by means of an easier and quicker way of reaching the towns where they can either dispose of it or else ship to other places.

TWICE CURED OF
 SKIN TROUBLES
First Case a Rash Which Itched and Stung-Threatened Ten Years Later With Blood Poison in Leg But Both Times the Sufferers
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
 PROVED WELL-FOUNDED

"About twelve or fifteen years ago, while living in West Virginia, had breaking-out, and it itched and stung so badly that could not have any peace because of it. I saw three doctors and they did not agree on what 1t was, 80 one of them gave me something that he called medicine, but I called 1t soda water. l might just as well have washed in rain-water. Then got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itch- ing since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had h grippe and pneumonia which left mo with pain in my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. It got in pretty bad shape, SO went to a doctor. He was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. | used his medicine but it did no good. So sent for another set of the Cuticura Remedies. I used them three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. Now won't be without Cuticura. J. F. Hennen, R. F. D. 3, Milan, Mo-, May 13, 1007."

Tax Exemption Granted.

Huntsville, April 7.--(Special) - The
 Nashville and Huntsville railroad has been granted exemption from county tax ation for one year after it's completion by the county commissioners. It is estimated that this concession will be equal to a grant of from $6000 to $7000, judging from the taxes paid by the other railroads and their comparative mileage. T. W. Pratt, chairman of the railroad committee, ap- peared before the board and asked for a subscription of 5000. All of the commis- sioners appeared to be in favor of aiding the railroad in any way possible, but they deemed it beyond their power and against the provision of the constitution to make such a donation. ii mn

 Narrow Escape.

Goodman, who lives two miles south of Ashland, came near losing her life Her clothes became ignded, and before the flames could be extinguished she was seriously if not fatally burned. Her father, who was several yards away, ran to her and had his hands badly burned trying to save his child Her sis ter, Nettie, reached her before the fire fire was extinguished, and her hands were burned also. There is hope of her recovery, as the flames did not reach her face.
