Hot Springs post. (Hot Springs, Alaska) 1908-1909, 1909-03-27

Plainyiew, Tex, March IA home
seekers excursion arrived here the
other day bringing a party of Indiana
men who were looking for cheap land.
They drifted around town, talking with
real estate agents and business men
generally with a view of obtaining
what information they could about the
country before making investments.
"If you are hunting real bargain,
let me take you down to Seminole to
see section of $40 acres have there"
said one real estate man to two of his
Indiana visitors.
The prospective investors consented
to inspect the land.
"How long will we be gomez" one of
the men asked.
The real estate man glanced at his
watch. It was then 9 am.
"Oh, we'll be back easy by 2 p.m.,"
e-said, carelessly.
The Indiana men calculated that they
had drive of about or 10 miles to
make. That was the way they usually
figured out in Hendricks county, In
diana, when they had to go from Plain
field to Danville, the county seat.
"Here are q couple Of caps for you
fellows. You'd better leave your hats
here in the office" said the real estate
man, as he tossed a tight-ftting cap
into the lap Of each man.
81 did notice that you have right
smart wind out here" one of the men
said.
eyes; you'll find it pretty breezy be-
fore we get back" answered the Plain
view citizen. "Well, come on, if you're

ready" he continued, as he strobe
ahead of them TO the door, and out
upon the sidewalk.
! In front of the little Office building
was big touring car. Red dirt and
dust covered almost every part Of it.
It sho we'd that it had been through
rough setvicc.
"This auto amt exactly beaut in
appearance, said the big real estate
man, as he climbed into the front seat,
"but she's got some other machines
out here clean beat when it comes to
speed"
The visitors were surprised to find
that they were going to make the trip
in an automobile. They had heard
that nearly everybody rode horseback
or in buck board in the ranch country
of Texas.
"Now, get yourselves well fixed in
the seats before we START admonished
the real estate dealer, who was also to
drive the machine. "You won't get
chance to do it when get her goin.'"
"By the way, how far is it to the
land that you are going to take US to
see?" asked one of the visitors.
"Well, some say that it is $50 miles
from Plainview to Seminole, but I
reckon it amt more than l25, replied
the Plainview man, as be shifted one
of the levers Of the machine, prepara-
tory to starting.
b. The two men in the back seat gave
long-drawn whistle under their breath
in unison.
"You don't mean that we'll make
trip of 1875 miles and back in five
hours?" one of them calculated.
ooh, yes; I've done it in four hours
several times, but l figure we'll want
about an hour to spend looking over
the land, - replied the man in the front
seat, as he adjusted his auto cap, and
then started up the big car
That was the last bit Of connected
conversation that took place between
the three men until the machine was
pulled up in front Of little Mexican
restaurant in Seminole, at 1850 I'm.
1t had taken ten minutes less than two
hours to make the trip, not counting
the five minutes or more that was
spent in getting things ready to start
at Plainview. Another IS minutes
was spent in running over the $40 acres
which the agent was offering to sell,
and then the start was made on the
homeward trip, The party were back
in Plainview at 2:l5 pm.
''You lost little time on the trip,
didn't you, Bill?" questioned the real
estate mans partner, when the machine
was pulled up in front of the Office.
eyes; I slowed down a-comin' back
so these men could get little general
i-dee of the country" replied the man
to whom the question was directed.
The two Indiana men were still trem-
bling with the excitement of their
thrilling ride when they re-entered the
little Office.
1T was the widest ride overlook

PLAN TO BETTER CABLE
SERVICE TO EUROPE
Commercial Cable Company to
Improve Submarine Line

For the purpose of increasing the
speed and reliability of the cable serv-
Ice between America and Europe. the
Commercial cable company will cut out
one OF the trans Atlantic cables at a
point about 300 miles east of Newfound-
land and attach new cable which will
extend from the Flemish cape to St
Johns, n f., and thence direct to New
York city. 1t is believed that this di-
vlding OF the cable will permit the com
psny 10 operate at. an increase of speed
This means the purchase and laying
of LOO miles of cable
But for the exclusive landing rights
in newfoundland held by the Anglo
American cable company under its SO
year franchise the Commercial company
would have made landing on the ISL
and when its cable was first laid.
The relaying of the cable will enable
the Commercial company to operate di
rect between New York City and Ire
land. After the work is finished the
company will have more than 900 miles
of unused cable lying on the ocean s
bed. Cable ships will be used to pick
UP as much of the unused cable as is
possible.

MIX FOR RHEUMATISM
Eminent Physician Gives Ont His Most
Effective Formula

Eminent Physician Gives Ont His Most
Effective Formula
The following is never falling rem
edy for rheumatism, and if followed
up it will effect complete cure of the
very worst cases: Mix half pint of
good whiskey with one ounce of Toris
compound and add one ounce syrup of
Sarsaparilla compound. Take in table
spoonful doses before each meal and
at bed time" The ingredients can be
procured at any drug store and easily
mixed at home.
Not only will this formula promptly
relieve the muscular pains but 1t is also
one of the most effective system build
ers known to the profession. 1t will
increase the appetite and If use is con-
tinued will eventually restore full
physical vigor to all persons of failing
STRENGTH especially the decline caused
by age.
The Toris compound in connection
with the other ingredients has such a
decided action In purifying the blood
that the good results can be felt after
the first few doses but it would be q
serious mistake to discontinue until
health is fully recovered.
