EXPRESS DELIVERY ,s
n TO BE ASKED FOR

At the meeting OF the Merchants
Association In the Commercial club
rooms tuesday evening the matter OF
the delivery OF express packages came
up for consideration and 1t was de.
cided to bring the matter to the at
tentlon OF the express company and
ask for delivery service In this city.
The gaining of this will be q great
convenience to all persons who receive
express matter here and the local
agent stated that he believed the com
pany wouldI be- willing to render the
better service. Dick Mcdonald and
George Thomson we're appointed to
take the question up with the express
company and one daily delivery will
be asked for. They will probably
suggest that the delivery be made In
the morning after the arrival OF the
trains from the east which will mean
quick delivery of the packages coming
fIom Portland in The evening and OF
most OF the eastern matter.
The movement which the association
started, to build sidewalk to the
boat landing, has been progressing
and the work of putting In the walk is
already under way. A COMMITTEES
consisting of j. M.IWood and o. G.
Dean was appointed to have charge of
the circulation Of a subscription to
raise money to pay for the walk.
They are meeting with much eneour.
agement and 1t 10 thought that lib.
eral response will make it easy to
raise the cost of the walk.

career. Uncle Joe is mighty embar-

Meanwhile. Speaker Cannon does
not appaer to be unduly alarmed. He
has a Jew cards up his sleeve. and
he intends to play them early in the
game. He has been looking up the
records OF the leaders among the in
surgents and printing himself for the
fray, Here is what he has to say for
himself:
