ROBINSON'S SHOW
IS COMING SOON
World of Work to Make the Show
Ready-Robinson Carries Army of
Men.

1t is no small job to unload the
long trains of cars of the wagons. ami
mails, and Announcements necessary
to a big circus. But this done, the
work OF getting things in shape for the
parade and the afternoon show comes
next. There are a thousand and one
things to do, but there are hundreds
of men and boys to do them.
By ten o'clock in the morning every
thing is in readiness for the show
and parade.
Almost every circus claims to have
a show that cannot be duplicated and
an aggregation of performers the like
Of which cannot be brought together,
but the fact is that every circus of
any consequence has a double force
and a double equipment.
There are really two circus troops
which have to travel about. The leap
ers are liable to injury A sprained
Will put OllS vi Tic DSSL
ers out and there must be a man to
take his place. Possibly the substi-
tute will make as great hit as the
regular. Even the performing horses
have their substitutes.
1t is fact not generally known the
Robinson show carries two complete
large canvasses. In case one is de-
stroyed by fire or storm another must
be ready to be put up. When a fail
ure to give a performance entails
loss of from $4,000 to $4,000 for ex-
penses, the matter becomes serious.
Even the men who put up the can
vas can be duplicated on short notice.
The big circus will exhibit at Hat
tiesburg, November 10.

FURNISHED ROOMS FOR RENT.

"We are delighted with what We
saw In the orchard districts Of the
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1908-03-31

United States 1t has remained for
Postmaster General Meyer to devise
q plan which seems to have silenced
the bitterest objections to the
measure. His idea Is embodied In
the Burnham senate bill and is
known as the local parcels post
measure. The Marchants associa-
ton of New Yark, which has been,
and still is, opposed to the general
parcels post, in the belief that 1t
would be very injurious to the coun
try merchants, harmful in its effects
upon the development of towns, and
therefore against the interests Of
of the whole people, now recon-
mends the support of the mechants
of the country to the Burnham bill.
This bill provides for the estab-
lishment of a special parcels post
system on rural routes, for packages
originating on a rural route or at
the distributing post office for deliv-
cry by rural carriers to patrons
thereof.
Under this system a local mail
parcels system would be carried on
over each rural delivery route be
tween all points thereon and the To-
cal post Office serving such route
This service is to be strictly local
and the rates are to apply to parcels
originating within the rural de
livery district Parcels originating
at other points would still be Obliged
to pay the present high merchandise
rate. Under the rate local pack
age weighing IL pounds would b.
delivered anywhere along the rout'
! for % cents, while if it came from {
| distance it would be restricted t.
4 pounds and subject to a charge o
| | caIt an ounce.

with the belief that none Of the sec

inspected particularly the apple con-

The trip was made for the pur-
pose of gathering information to be

the plans for irrigating and placing
on the market large section o.
their holdings south of the city.

THE PROBLEM OF WATER
SUPPLY.

The question of supplying the city
with water from Waha springs,
after consideration of several
months, is now in a fair way of be-
ing settled All agree on the advan-
tages the city will have in the way
of having pure mountain water as
source of supply, and the problem.
in it's last analysis, is the problem
of immediate cost.
The modified proposal is to fur
nish the city with 100000 gall
Ions, or any part of it, at $4,000
for the first year and $4,000 addi-
tional for each succeeding year until
the amount reaches $4,000 in the
fifth year and $4,000 annually
thereafter for the 100000 gal
Ions and water in addition to that
at the rate of cents per 1000 gal
Ions.
1t is costing the city at present,
according to the city water superin-
tendent, 2% cents per 1000 gallons
to do the pumping, and the city last
year pumped 419,000,000 gallons.
This year 1t will need more, not only
! because of the increased number of
service pipes, but because the season
will not be so favorable as last year.
| and for the additional fact that the
| &c uyfo
make heavy demand on the pump
| ing capacity.
It will be seen that the modified
proposal is an agreement to furnish
water at less than 3 cents per 1000
gallons on last seasons basis, and
never more than that until at tht
end of five years, when the city will
be using more than the maximum
amount. The cost of pumping last
year was approximately $4,000
The depreciation of Is per cent or
value of pumps and motor costing
10000 is annually $1,000, and thu
interest on this Is $500. This Is fig
uring neither depreciation on pun,
house nor supply pipe.
Deducting $3.50 for on helper an
eight months for an assistant engi
neer, 5000, making total o
1890, leaves the net cost of las
years water $3.50, and adding
$4,000 for interest and depreciation
makes the real cost of the pumpins
system $11,SSO, as against the offe
to supply the Waha water at $12,
900.

THE KENTUCKY NIGHT RIDERS

The lawlessness in Kentucky as
riders is bringing that state an un-
envlable reputation. The animus of
the whole matter is not quite clear.
nor is there any explanation why
the authorities have not attacked
the evil with firmer determination
to stamp /. out.
1t would be an injustice to the
planters of Kentucky, one of the
best states in the Union, says one
writer, to charge them with respon-
sibility for the cowardly outrages
that have been committed in their
name by the might riders" of that
state. The latter have been using
the contest between farmers and the
tobacco trust as cloak for their
deeds of violence.
The trouble between the tobacco
growers OF Kentucky and the Ameri-
can Tobacco company is of long
standing. For years the trust re-
fused to buy tobacco except at ruin
ously low prices, and when the
American Society of Equity was
formed for the purpose of keeping
Np prices 1t was, we have 1t on the
word of reputable men Of Kentucky
in the hands of some of the best
planters In the state.
OF course there Is bad and law
less element of farmers in thu
might RIDERS" and to that elemen
there has been added collection o
notwithstanding men who carr
nothing for the tobacco industry o.
tobacco prices, but are simply usint
the bitter feeling between tobacc'
buyers and the planters as shiel'
for their lawlessness. The respecta
Bile farmers of Kentucky must
therefore, be excused when criticism
% aimed at that state on account o
the frightful events of the last few
months. Kentucky is covered witt
shame, but 1t Is the fault of only
comparatively small number of tn
men OF Kentucky.
