The Mena weekly star., 1909-08-19

homes in Mena have been built and maintained by railroad men who may be forced to give them up and go elsewhere themselves. The best rental property in the city is to great extent occupied by railroad men.
 The wages received by these men and expended here are basis for a large amount of business and afford a considerable market for country produce.
 The loss of these men and the loss of the business they produce will be a serious one to Mena. Every man knows this. But, the questions arise:
 HAS THE DIVISION POINT MADE MENA?
 WILL ITS REMOVAL UNMAKE MENA?
 Let's see:
 Stilwell. Ok, is a division point.
 Hornbeck, La, is a division point.
 The only difference between these two towns and Rust or some other side station is that they have a few additional lunch counters and lodg- ing houses.
 If this is true, then it is evident that something else besides rail- road division has had to do with the springing up of this beautiful little city in the heart of the Ozarks, and the people who have their all wrapped up in Mena can thank God that these other forces that have created the city of their home are more substantial than railroad divi- sion points.
 Mena has made the best town on the Kansas City Southern because it was located Tn the ideal spot for a good town.
 Mena has made the best town on the Kansas City Southern because it is the center of a resourceful, rapid ly developing country.
 Mena has made the best town on the Kansas City Southern because 1t has the best all-the-year-around climate, and the sweetest. purest water in the great Southwest.
 But location, resources, climate and water will not separately or all together make town.
 But Mena has these things, and then
 Mena made the best town on the Kansas City Southern because it had them, and because it was made up of men and women who had the char acter and strength of purpose to take advantage of what nature gave them and to add good streets, walks. lights. schools, churches, public li- brary, handsome homes and, not least. the most beautiful park in any town the size of Mena in the country.
 In short, Mena is what it is, be- cause THE RIGHT PEOPLE CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE to make good town "a town so good in which to live that people who have made for tunes in less desirable surroundings have come here and are coming here to enjoy life and rear their children.
 Mena likes the good substantial element of her railroad people. They mean much to Mena. They like Mena, and the way they have clung to her as their home is ample proof of this, but if they go away they won't take with them the things that have made Mena co much to them. And when they go others will come to take their places, for from the great half circle that reaches to the Gulf of Mexico with low lands, frog ponds. malaria and mosquitoes, Mena is the first city in reach where pure mountain air, pure water and cool nights will bring back health and comfort.
 And one thing we all feel. It is better for Mena to lose the division than to keep it with the ugly Re- moval Ghost lowering ever near to check movements toward develop ment at every turn.

L. X. WRIGHT.

The condition of Louis K. Wright
remains about the same, possibly he
is slightly improved and all sincerely
hope that this is the case. Mr.. Wright
was taken to Mudlavia, Ind, in hopes
that the treatment there would help
him, but it did not and he was taken
to Chicago for an examination by
specialists. He was placed in the
Presbyterian hospital and examined
by Drs j. L. Miller and B. w. Sippy,
connected with Rush Medical college,
and by DIR. Joseph Smith, who had
gone down from Wausau. The con-
clusion reached, after several days
close observation, tests, etc, was that
it was a growth in the pancreas, a
gland back of the stomach, which
supplies juices which aid in digestion.
1t is thought that by proper medical
treatment the growth may disappear,
otherwise an explanatory operation
will have to be made to fully deter
mine the trouble.

Walter HUFFMAN and Miss Claribel
Gamble were married today The
ceremony took place at the home of
the young lady's sister, Mrs. Frank
Barden, 107 Franklin street, and was
performed by the Rev. f. HI. Brig
ham. The home was tastefully
decorated for the occasion.
The young couple were unattended,
there were no invited guests and there
was an air of quietneSs surrounding
the event. Tonight they will start
on their wedding tour and after their
return home will go to housekeeping
at POS Seymour street.
The young lady is daughter of
Jos. Gamble and was born and reared
in this city. The young man is son
of j. c. Huffman and has been a
resident of Wausau for twenty years.
He is an estimator for the Werheim
manufacturing Co. Both have a
legion of friends who wish for them
a long life of married bliss.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Wausau opened series in Superior
yesterday and will play fourteen
games in that city, Duluth and Eau
Claire before returning home Labor
day to close the season. Two games
will be played here with Eau Claire
on Sept. 6, one in the forenoon and
one in the afternoon.
From all indications Duluth will
win the pennant, and the other teams
will finish in about their present
order When the table of standings
is compared with those of other
leagues, it will be found that the race
in the NV. has been closer than
that of any other in the country, with
the possible exception of the Ameri-
can association.
Wausau secured from Lacrosse last
week an additional pitcher to replace
Russell, in the person of Pfeffer.
DARBY" O'Brien's team got bad
start but is finishing strong. He, like
all the rest of the managers did con-
siderable experimenting until he
secured players which suited him. AT
the conclusion of the season his team
will play championship series with
the winners of the Canadian league
of the Northwest.
All of the clubs have profted tinan-
cially with the exception of Wausau.
The town of Texas Swashbucklers
and the town of Wausau Windjam-
mers met Sunday to settle the suprem-
acy of the two towns. The former
won by score of 81 TO 81 1t was a
mice" game our informant tells us.
Brady, first baseman of our last
years team, is leading the WI
league in batting honors and is CON
siderably above the 300 mark. Every
one of our old team has high
mark.
If Wausau is in the league next
year, and the prospects now are that
it will be, there is no doubt but what
a strong team will represent the town
from the start, for work will be car
ried on all winter to secure good
material
1t is quite likely that several changes
will be made at the annual league
meeting, which will be held about
two weeks following the close of the
present season. Several other towns
are clamoring to get into our company
and it is possible that it will be made
an eight club organization. 1t is also
possible that the salary limit will be
raised to figure whereby better
class of players can be secured. The
umpire system has been unsatisfactory
and it is quite likely that this feature
will be given attention.
From a moral standpoint the season
has been very satisfactory There
has been no mobbing of umpires, OF
other disgraceful scenes as has been
enacted in other minor organizations.

IMPROVEMENTS ON
GRAND AVENUE.

One of the much needed improve
ments on Grand avenue is about to
be realized and that is the widening
of the bridge which crosses over the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad
tracks. For some time the city
authorities have been pressing this
matter Mayor Lamont received
notice the other day from the North
western company saying that it was
ready to widen the bridge when the
Wausau Street Railroad company
would strengthen the bridge suffic-
iently for interurban traffic. The
attorneys for the Northwestern road
hold that the street railroad COM
pany, by virtue of its franchise, is
practically an interurban railway,
and therefore liable for such
strengthening and altering, but the
company is willing to widen the
bridge provided it is strengthened.
M. G. Ewing, manager of the street
railroad company, says the company
will go on with the work at once and
there is every indication that the
bridge viii be widened and
strengthened very soon.
The mayor informed PILOT re-
porter that the iron bridge at the
washout, just below Columbia park is
to be taken out, and stored away ready
for use whenever the city needs it and
the gully filled up to the full width of
the street. Work on this is to COM
mence at once. This will add much
to the beauty of Grand Ave and the
convenience of our citizens in general.
