The Building Boom Is On

The yearis still young but the move
ment for a Greater Shoshone in the
way of big building boom is now well
under way.
The new residence in the Lincoln add
ition is being occupied, T. M. Starrh's S
lovely cottage on the corner of Logan
and Shoshone street, is receiving the
finishing touches, Paul Haddock' s fine
cottage in the south western part of
town is practically completed, Merri-
field residence on the east side of Knob
Hill is enclosed, Vernon's cottage just
west of Merriield's, is well started,
and the excavating is about completed
for G. B. Novinger's fine residence on
the corner of Shoshone and Logan
streets, and the rock is being hauled
for T. H. Gooding's residence on the
corner of Greenwood and Boise streets.
Besides these, there are more residences
in contemplation.
1t is still too early to predict just
what business houses will go up this
season. Nearly every business firm in
the city have plans for the construction
of new business blocks or the building
of additional room on their present
structures. Firms from the outside
are also planning on the erection of
business blocks here but to what extent
the movement will reach before the
building season is over is still matter
for conjecture.
But the construction of cement side
walks goes nerrily or, waiting for
nothing. Noddings & CraStree are
now at work on the walk connecting
Wernicke's S corner with the j. L. Beck
EFT corner, a stretch of two blocks. All
of the north Greenwood street from
T. H. Gooding's corner to Rail street, /
on Baughs implement corner, will be
as soon as the Baugh build
ing operations are sufficiently com
Dleted to allow of it.
Taken all in all the future of Sho-
'hone's building boom seems bright and
iopeful.

A Deserving Firm.

The departure of Paul Haddock for
Iowa last Tuesday on boosting trip in
connection with the Dietrich Carey Act
opening, that is called for Shoshone,
June 9Th, gives rise to world of
speculation as to the outcome of the
trip.
Of course there is an uncertain factor
that must enter into the calculation.
and that is, what credence will the
people of Iowa give to the statements
of Mr.. Haddock The only uncertainty
that will cut any figure, is whether the
people of Iowa with whom he will

RECE|PTSFROM
TICKET AGENTS
FLORIDA RAILROAD COMMISSION
ISSUES NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
REGARDING RATES ON THE P.
G. A. DIVISION OF THE LOUIS
VILE & NASHVILLE.
Special to The Journal

Tallahassee, June 24.-The follow
ing has been issued by the Florida
railroad commission:
In the spring of 1903, the railroad
commissioners after hearing ordered
the Louisville & Nashville r. r.
company to charge three cents per
n4ile passenger rates on and after
May LIST, 1903, in lieu of four cents
per mile. The Louisville and Nash
vile railroad company on April 30,
1908, sought and obtained an injunc-
ton restraining the Florida railroad
commission from the enforcement Of
this order, which matter has been
PENDING since that time in the federal
Florida. At the time this Injunction
was issued, the commissioners ad-
vised the public through the press CT
West Florida. to take receipts for all
straight fares paid for tickets on the
T. &, A. division of the L. & N. in eX-
cess of three cents per mile. From
the best information at hand, the
commissioners are led TO believe that
very few, if any, receipts have been
taken.
The commissioners have recently
finished an exhaustive examination y.
tne Ii oks and accounts of the l.. d
n. railroad and have information
upon which to push the matter to
and believe that they nave
Il reasonable chance for winning the
suit. and, therefore, advise the pubic
again to take receipts for all straight
Buckets On the P. & A. division which
ere sold them in excess of three Gems
per mile, and file such receipts with
the railroad commissioners, and in
the event of a successful termination
of the suit in favor of the state, the
commissioners will undertake to col
lect the difference on all such receipts
in excess of tire cents per, mile.

STRANGE CHINAMAN ASKS
FOR SUIT CASE AND LEAVES
b AssoeLated Presa.

Schenectady, n. Y, June PA
strange Chinaman appeared at the
Union station here Saturday after
noon and inquired for suit case
which had been forwarded from AL
bany. It had not arrived. Then,
showing his check, which was number
1872, and his ticket for Cleveland,
he had his baggage rechecked from
here to Cleveland on check SO3,S72.
lac Chinaman reappeared at the
station at $3.50 p. m. and boarded an
express west bound. Four Chinese
put up at a hotel here Saturday and
disappeared early Sunday and while
here borrowed $50 from a Chinese
restaurant keeper to assist one OF
their countrymen on a journey. 1t is
now the theory o. the police that the
suit case rechecked was for Leon
Ling, that the money was borrowed
for him, and that Chu Hop, arrested
here Monday and released Tuesday,
did know something about the move
ments of the murder suspect.

county, and then 'sofhe speech making
started.
Peter TomaselIo from Santa Rosa
county, said hiss people were enthusi-
astic over the proposition, and the
board OF county commissioners were
already on record as ready to assist
in its success. Giving some inter-
esting statistics, MT. TOmasello said
that there were Sc townships and
400 square miles in his county. But
IL per cent o. arabic land was then
in cultivation. Allow 10 per cent for
creeks and swamps, he said the rest,
about IS per cent, stood ready for the
pillow, and the fair, when it showed
the possibilities Of the soil, would
have tendency to opening up the
idle and available farming lands.
Mr.. Urquhart, a Santa Rosa farm
er who has record of having pro-
duced an 1S-pOund head OF cabbage
in ninety days, spoke enthusiastically,
expressing the hope that the project
would stir people up.
Mr. McQUarrie, of the Escambia
county board of commissioners, said
he was in sympathy with the move
ment, and his board could be depend
ed upon to do everything to make the
Eair a success.
MessTs. Waterman, Lannon, Still
man and Simpson were heard from
along the same line, Mr. Simpson
bringing up the question of making
the fair industrial as well as agricul-
tural.

BEING SUED IN
SUM OF $4,000
JOHN M. WESTWARD ALLEGES
THAT HIS WIFE SUFFERED IN
JURIES THROUGH NEGLIGENCE
OF CONTRACTOR.

John NJ. Westmark, through his at
torney, Scott NJ. LOftin, has entered
suit against the Whiddon Construc-
ton company and the City of Pen
sacOla, for damages in the sum Of
$4,000. The action was brought
Tuesday, and was filed in the office
OF the circuit clerk.
Particulars of the action were OBJ
tanned yesterday. The allegation is
made that the WhiddOn Construction
company, which is building cement
sidewalks all over the city, failed to
properly flag" a job on Cervantes
street near Alcaniz. Absence of
warning lights, it is further alleged,
was responsible for a severe fall sus-
tanned by the wife of the plaintiff.
Not only were injuries received from
the fall itself, but it is further claim
ed that a barbed wire protection
placed to keep of pedestrians until
the work had dried, had badly lacer-
ated flesh at several points on the
victim.
The suit will not be heard until
December.

ALL TRACE OF BAGGAGE
Is LOST AT CLEVELAND,
BY Associated Press.

Cleveland, o.. June 24.-AH traces
of the baggage received here from
Schenectady, n. Y, which is suppos-
ed to have ben checked by a China
man answering the description of
Leon Ling, sought in connection with
the murder of Elsie Sigel, appears to
have been lost. The baggage arriv-
ed III Cleveland last Sunday and the
original and duplicate check are in
the possession Of the railway COM
pany, indicating that not only was
the baggage received here. but that it
was claimed by its owner.
A peculiar feature of the handling
of the Chinese tickets is that no rec
ord was made OF them, as is supposed
to be done in every case. Therefore
no one is able to say of what the bag
gage consisted.

upon spoke OF wonderful possibilities
directly growing from the fair, which
he said was undoubtedly the nucleus
Of great things. Reviewing his res
idence of fifty years in Escambia
county, Mr.. BIount said that the last
three years were most indicative OF
great things, citing as examples the
good roads, civic pride and other
movements, crystallizing finally in the
agricultural fair, the acme o. the
many good things. Not only would
the merchant and farmer be highly
benefited, but all other classes would
be greatly advantaged; and, in the
end, what would hinder the coming
fairs, the speaker argued, from being
participated in by Covington, Geneva,
Henry, Escambia and other Alabama
counties, and also the eastern Flor
ida counties, making this city what
all desired, the agricultural center Of
q great section.
Judge Reeves delivered a scholarly
address. He advised that entire de-
pendence be not placed on timber and
turpentine as now, but on farming,
something of a more substantial ma
ture.
H. H. Thornton promised co-opera-
ton and aid of the Chamber Of Com
merce, and Jos. Brown promised any
thing that the county commissioners
could do would be done.
A resolution of thanks from the
Merchants association for use OF the
room was then read by Mr.. Horsler,
and the session adjourned.

rary secretary, read a copy of the
call which had been sent out by the

Guiding that paper, Jas McHugh
handed Mr.. HOTsler an Alabama
newspaper and requested that an art
icle printed therein be read. The
article detailed pTeHminaTis OF the
Alabama State Fair to be held at
Montgomery in October. The article
served a double purpose. 1t gave
those present an insight into Ala
bama-laid plans, and also placed the
local association on notice regarding
dates, etc, of the Alabama attraction.
This will allow the local people an
opportunity to agree upon a date for
holding the Pensacola fair that Will
