HOW TheY Same.

How They Same.
AS reported to the Reflector last
evening the confetti car lelt Salina
soon after 5 a. m. and reached Abb
lene at 5;45, strewing confetti liber-
ally at every turn. 3. q, Coulson
met the car at the western edge OF
the city and he and Earl Stillie piloted
it over the course prepared. Fol-
lowing closely came the officials
car, a Maxwell with top up and cur
tains drawn. Then was the pace
maker. A half hour elapsed before
the regular contestants appeared and
these were at intervals of few min
utes. A number of Abilene motorists
met them at Sand Springs but did
not attempt to lead the procession.
The officials car was the only one
with a top. The others were riding
in the open prepared for any kind OF
weather.
Mr.. Coulson was in such a hurry
to get an early start that he forgot
to look at his gasoline tank and
when about half way through town
had to stop and I'LL up. Earl stillie
then went In the confetti car and saw
it to the east edge of town.
Crowds stood on the walks all
along the course until the last car
passed at 1925. Many drove in from
neIghboring towns to see the parade.
Two Cars Halteu Here.
Two of the cars stopped in Abb
lene-but only for moment. The
occupants of one car wanted medi-
cine and Of the other cigars. The
other machines simply slowed down
at the crossings for .he speed limit
was off for the occasion.
Roads and Streets Fixed.
A shining example of what can be
done with roads and streets was seen
in the work done yesterday after 2
O'Clock. With a grader. two road
drags and some wagons to haul dirt
for the crossings the long course
through the city was put in tip top
condition in four hours. II the city
fathers and mayor would be as good
to the home people who pay taxes
on s4,OOO,00o worth Of property in
Abilene as they are to strangers from
Detroit and indianapolis the town
could have good streets all the time.
The road to Solomon was put In
condition by filling up chuck holes
through the sandhiIls and dragging
the worst parts. The Detroit people
were wideawake and dragged the
road west to Grant township line
and east to meet the chapmanites
who took care Of the east end to the
county line. The only road in the
county that was left unchanged was
the Grant township part Of the De-
troit road which was marked by a
disgraceful succession OF mudholes
ana ruts that are no creO-- to the
road overseers Of that township. The
Abilene motor car owners in order
to help matters went out with shovels
and put the bad places in as good
shape as they could, pulling the trees
out Of the road and making a little
improvement-but It remained the
worst road the GlIddenites found in
the county.
Cowboys saIuted Them.
The contesting cars began leaving

The last car to go through was
the pathfinder q. M. F. which broke
a wheel this side of'salina and went
back to get new one but could not.
It was running with NO tire on one
wheel but expected to be fixed up at
Junction.

The contesting cars began leaving
Hugo Thursday morning at z o'clock
and came to the Oakley control be-
tween s:8O and 6 O'Clock. At every
sod house and lonely prairie home
along the route there was a wave Of
welcome and a wish for good luck.
At one point cowboys saiuted the
tourists with their guns. and at an
other the strangers for miles around
had gathered for an allday picnic to
watch the tourists pass.

the trip occurred at Cheyenne Wells,

ASKS MORE FOR CARRYING MAILS.
President Peters of Long Island Railroad To
Be Heard To-day.

Washington, Feb. 10-The House Committee
Postofhces and Post Roads will give a hearing to-
morrow on the bill introduced by Senator Depew
and Representative W. ". Cocks providing greater
compensation for the railroads Long Island for
carrying the malls. Ralph Peters president OF the
Long Island Railroad. Will appear behalf Of his
company. In support OF his contention that the
Long Island Railroad Company should receive
greater compensation for its mail service. Mr..
Peters has prepared for the committee statement
setting forth the peculiar conditions under which
his company labors. Mr.. Peters bases his claim to
special treatment the contentious that the Long
Island Railroad Company, with S92 miles of line
operated by steam and electricity. is peculiarly
situated geographically. This requires the company
TO provide facilities for the maximum mail condi-
tions while the average weight distributed the
entire length of route is exceedingly low; that in
proportion to the relative space afforded, the
compensation received for car space IN mail
vice is than onethird that received for equal
car space in passenger and express service; that
the average mail earnings per mile less
than the average freight earnings per freight car
mile on the Long Island Railroad, and that the
mail pay received by the railroad is insufficient
compensation for the service rendered when
pared with the actual cost Of performing the
vice.

still good and the runs not large
enough to afford killers clamping the
lid down on the market. The first four
days Of this week eleven markets re-
ceived 100000 of $4,000 less than ar
rived the same period a week ago. 70
600 less than a year ago and $1,000 less
than two years ago. Chicago's receipts
thus far this week decreased $4,000
compared with week ago and In
creased 5000 over a year ago.
Sheep.
Trade was exceedingly slow, and
what few sales were made, were at de-
clines of % to 80 cents below yester-
days levels.
Heavy receipts Of spring lambs d.
eXerted a demoralizing effect on the
sheep market. While high grade goods
have lost but little compared with
other kinds, many grassy native lambs
of last years crop look 50@75 cents
lower than a week ago, and are mean
sellers at that, the $6.25@700 con-
tingent being very bad actors. Packers
are getting SO many choice spring
lambs from the south that they are
able to give this stuff the go-by. Sheep
have been hit hard, and cents is now
taking good lines, 6h cents being about
the limit on sheep.
Fresh supply on sale was light. but
shipping trade;is practically dead. and
directs" are cutting wide swath in
the trade. louisville had a liberal
supply on tap yesterday. and the mar
ket there was quoted considerably
lower. There were thirty-tive cars of
direct stuff from the Ohio river.
