FEW DESIRABLE
HOUSES VACANT
WITHIN PADUCAH
Mail Carriers Report Only 2S7,
Mostly Of Gun Barrel"
Style.
PostOffice Collection Increased
500 in July.
MANY PERMITS ARE ISSUED

Erroneous reports about the num-
Der OF vacant houses in Paducah have
circulated in the gossip OF the panic
and It's effects. as an Investigation BY
the postofflce shows The carriers
found that instead Of the 500 or 1 goo
houses which rumor said were vacant.
there are actually only 2S7 unoccu-
pied. This showing Is considered the
best evidence of the sound Industrial
condition of Paducah after the finan-
cial gale. as those houses which are
vacant are the poorest and most unde-
|sirable kind. Many are in the out
skirts and of the "gunbarrel" type.
The postofiice made the investigation
for its own account.
Stamp sales for July at the post
office show an increase of 800 over
July, 1907. running last month 10 S.
l66. That large increase is not
shown is due to the fact that many
large users Of stamps have secured
permits, by which they simply stamp
on their packages that the postage
has been paid without affxing the
stamp itself The cost of these per-
mits does not enter into the record of
stamp sales

WITH INCREASED f,
CAPACITY NEEDED

Politics is being abandoned by
County Judge X. T. Lightfoot for

streets 10 house the Padueah Concrete
company. Its dimensions are 100 by
1915 feet, one story high and made
entirely of concrete building blocks
of which there will be 1000 in tho
structure. AT present the plant Of
the company Is at Sixth and Burnett
streets but the new building will be
occupied within fifteen days. The
capacity OF the new plant will be
1000 blocks a day and 800 feet Of
pipe. Judge l1ghtfoot began by snp7
plying the local trade but is now ship
ping in large quantities and the pipe
has finally been perfected SO that =

FOUNTAIN FOR MEN,
HORSES AND DOGS
ERECTED In PARK

Plans for tho park on Broadway at
the intersection of Tenth street have
been formulated by the board OF
park commissioners, and the erection
of the fountain shows that the park
will be reality. The fountain for
the horses and dogs is 40 feet from
the sidewalk. and was presented to
the city by the National Humane
Alliance. which was founded by Her
mon Lee Ensign. a wealthy capt.
tallst. who left his fortune for the
organization of humane societies.
The fountain is a handsome piece OF
work constructed out OF polished
granite. At the base OF the monu-
ment Is The drinking fountain for
dogs and above is the large bowl for
the horses.
From the street to the fountain
the commissioners will have the btu
ithic street placed and II will be con-
venient to drive from Broadway to
the fountain. Forty feet from the
fountain the grass plot will begin and
on both sides there will be a
gravel driveway, 80 feet wide, ex-
tending to Kentucky avenue. Bor-
dering the driveway will be con-
crete walk five feet wide. The i'm
provement of placing the material to
the fountain will begin as soon as
work is started on the reconstruction
of Broadway j. e. Williamson e.

day and II has attracted much atten-
tion.

Frame Station Erected in 1856
For "Paducah 4 Gulf First
In Paducah.

One Of the landmarks OF Paducah
is being torn down this week. as work
men are taking apart the front of the
old railroad station at Eleventh street
and Broadway The station was one
Of the first erected ia Paducah, and 1t
has an interesting history in connec-
ton with the growth of Paducah. Old
citizens have been interviewed, but il
Is dificut to ascertain definitely the
date of the construction of the sta
don.
When the Paducan a. Gulf railroad
was organized. a two-room~ building
was erected at the corner in 1856.
This was used as the passenger sta
tion and for the Offices through the
war. and during all Of the financial
battles that the road had to pass
through. The road when built ex-
tended to Mayneld, and then the
name was changed to the Paducah-
Memphis railroad. and the track was
extended to Fulton. Alternately with
the passing of the road through a re-
Ownership the road changed its
name to Newport News and South
western. and various other names
that suited the fancy of the pro-
moters.
In.1SS4 the two-room building was
enlarged and a second story was built.
All the addition was brought here in
sections from Memphis.
The building is still sound but
three months ago the building caught
fire from defective fiue, and not hav-
ing use for ii the railroad officials de-
cided to tear Il down. The walls OF
the station are frame, but the wood
is remarkably well preserved, and II
Is several layers thick. due TO the
building over of the old station. When
the FIRE was discovered the fremen
found 1t like chopping into a saw log
to hew a hole into the wooden walls.
About 1896 the railroad with the
shops was sold by the Chesapeake,
Ohio & Southwestern railroad to the
Illinois Central railroad A few
years afterwards the station at Sixth
and Campbell streets was built and
the old station gave way as the pas
senger station and was used solely
for freight. About 1901 the Union
station was erected and the station
at Sixth and Campbell streets be-
came the freight station The old
station for several years was used as
Offices and the freight house is still
a tobacco warehouse.

stipend, II the Senate committee on
foreign relations can prevent It, the
attaches OF these commissioners Will
be found in the same dilemma.
When these three nominations
we're take n up In the foreign relations
committee yesterday. the attention OF
members was called to the fact that
the Japanese exposition had been
postponed from 1913 to 1917. The ap
preparations for these and other ex'
penses Of the government had beer
made bv the last session to prepare
for the exposition OF the earlier date
Inasmuch as the date has been al
vanced four years. the foreign reia
lions committee failed to see the ut'i
i,y OF confirming the appointments OF
COnIuISSIOutiS W
this government so far in advance o!
what they believed to be any neces
s'ty for their services. Several mem
bers suggested that one way OF help
ing to reduce the deficit in the treas
ury would be to save 100000 in sala
ries on the Toxic exposition to be
held nine years hence. Accordingly
the nominations were put back In the
committee files. and that probably Is
the last that vii! be heard OF them
this session.
All these oficials may draw their

their nominations were transmitted

however. no pay can be collected IN
