Say, that was dinner for your whis-

hungry men, with hundreds OF bis

truth must be told, if the others of the
party had had such appetites and
capacities as Elem Harrison and Omar

hungry, but it turned out happily and
there was enough left for White, Gold
and the cooks to stay their stomachs
until supper time. Oh, we came
near forgetting tha, I.ige Williams, of

reaching the Lake and was invited to
dinner, and that helped to create

and its beautiful surroundings, reach
ing the city in time for late supper.
While the wind was slightly dis
agreeable it was altogether pleasant
trip. The Press Club committee was
agrceably surprised at the magnif-
cent country traversed, its many un-
developed resources of soil, mines
and timber, the many "bcauty spots,"
caves, springs, streams and lake, and
while they did not give a decision on
the location OF the Missouri Press
Club House, we feel confident that
when they do it will be located in
Morgan county. Monday it was the
intention to take them out to the
OuachIta Clay and Coal Mines, but
owing to slide in the track it was
impossible to make the trip, so the
committee took needed rest, leav-

Rock Island for Eldon to inspect
what that progressive city has to offer.

TRAP SET FOR THE UNWARY
Wall Street Brokers Plan Stampede
to Sell Stocks in Case of
Bryan's Election.

New York. Oct. IA score of Wall
street brokerage firms have announced
that they will keep uptown Offices
open on election night. Most Of the
uptown offices did the same thing two
years ago in the Hughes Hearst cam
paign, when il was feared that the
market would be affected by the result
The benefit to customers from all
night ana all-day brokerage business
is that it permits the execution of or
ders in the London market hours be-
fore the opening here. The difference
in time between the two markets is five
hours, the London market opening at
o'clock, our time. But business may
be done much earlier than this for the
reason that the London curb, unlike
New Yorks, deals in listed stocks and
opens before the London mFrket. On
special occasion. such as an important
election, ii may open as early of ?
O'Clock in the morning, our time. thus
giving customers a place TO sell or buy
stocks%s soon after the result of the
election is known.

the other is on the Canadian side.
What terms do you make with the
Canadian government to get the right to

asked.
I'VE make contract. It charges us
40 cents a cord for stumpage. Most OF

Renewable at what rate?

Mr.. Backus referred to the necessity
of having a permit from the government
to do business and Mr. Mann asked if he
