Vollmer.
(From Review


E. F. Coldron, manager of the
Lewiston Electric Supply Co., was
in town Tuesday looking over the
field for the purpose Of installing
an electric plant. His company
is DESTROYS OF entering this field
and it is not unlikely that in the
near future they will make move
toward lighting the town of Voll-
meT.
Monday marked new era in
VOllmer's growth. The fret pas
senger train pulled in about fifteen
minutes to twelve O'Clock having
made the run from Lewiston to
VOllmer in q little over four hours.
The trip was successful one and
demonstrated that service can be
maintained somewhere near on
schedule time. A large delegation
from Lewiston came up and all
were united in pronouncing it a
grand experience saving that the
route along the canyon affords q
wonderful scenery. About seventy.
five people were at the depot when
the train pulled in, all of whom
welcomed the approaching train
with smiles and cheers. As the
train neared the depot several sa-
lutes were fred from guns and an
wills which had been kept in readi-
ness for some time before the
schedule time. The people of this
upper country certainly rejoice
over the establishment of the SER
vice and only hope that the road
bed will remain in q condition to
permit the service without any
check. The people of Vollmer e.
pecially have reason to rejoice az
it will greatly help to make this q
commercial center and cause the
town to rapidly build up in popu.
lation and wealth.

Utilization of Waste Lands

AS a result of successful expert
ments in Georgia on waste lands
of raising imported tobacco under
partial shade,it is understood that
some agitation in this direction
will be started among the farmers
of this State this spring. 81 Ihe re-
suits in" Georgia were very sue
cessful; one farmer averaged $500
an acre for his tobacco, and there
were other cases where the av-
erages were higher. Some expert
ments along this line have been
made in this state at the Expert
ment Station at Calhoun, and
farmers who contemplate trying
this crop can secure all necessary
data from there.

TO OUR

1t seems that Uncle Sam is going t.
force the newspapers to a cash basis. New
postal regulations have been adopted by
the Department, which permits news
papers to use the mails under the secone
class rates only to subscribers WHO have
paid their subscriptions cash in advance
This new regulation will go into effect
the LIST of April next, and if it is strictly
enforced, it will force the newspapers te
a strictly cash paid in advance system
for all subscribers, as the papers could
not afford to mail papers and pay a
high rate of postage. There is very lit
tie, if any, profit in subscriptions at the
present high prices of printing material
and there would be an actual loss under
a higher rate Of postage.
We invite the attention of our sub
scribers to this regulation and say to
them that if they wish to continue to re
ceive the paper, they should see to it that
the subscription is paid in advance. We
must conform to the postal regulations.
We may be willing to credit our subscrlb-
ers, but we must do as Uncle Sam directs.

Just what the outcome Of the
sulphur in molasses" investiga-
ton by the United States author
tiles will be no one can conjecture
at this time. Prof. r. E. Blouin
of the Sugar Experiment Station
of the State University at New Or
leans, said yesterday that it was
impossible to refine molasses with
out this most necessary adjuct
and that after numerous expert
ments as to whether certain guam
titles of it in molasses were dan
gereus or not had proven they were
not; he hoped that the govern
ment would decide in favor of
the planters.
Many people of the State do not
realize what this decision by the
Government means. If it is ad-
verse to the present system of
manufacture, it is possible that
the entire industry will have to be
reorganized and this would re-
suit in untold loss. Meanwhile,
await the decision with no lit
tie imDatience.

BRYAN ADDRESSES ELkS

In his address to the Elks at
Nashville, Tenn, Tuesday, VIII
liam J. Bryan said:
There is no hostility between
the lodge and the home. | now
belong to them all, including one
the name of which | can't remem-
Der, as | have not been able to at
tend since my iniation.
I believe that fraternal orders
lift one out of himself and cause
him to think of and minister to
Others. Othersmark the bound
airy line being selfishness and
charity.
The fraternity does an import
ant work when it teaches man to
think less of self and more of
others. Instead of contracting
ones sympathies, fraternalism ex-
pands.
Mr.. Bryan was a%pplauded when
he declared that he feared the
plutocracy of wealth, esteemed
the aristocracy of learning and
thanked God for the democracy
of the heart.
