fered at this time.

able to supply the entire American
market but would eventually expor
a large quantity of tea. Dixon Sug

turing the infant tea industry. III
was strongly supported in making
that suggestion by Smith of Michi

a practical method of obtaining tn
result desired. Tillman responde
he did not propose to be caught i

AS the Campbell Brothers Great
Consolidated Shows are to be in our
city on Thursday, April 20 a few words
in regard to the start and enlargement
of this show might be of interest to
our many readers. Some twelve years
ago they launched a small show with
the motto attached, "Honorably Con-
Quoted, Truthfully Advertised" This
motto has made the show what it is
today. Their shows have always been
conducted on high moral plan, they
never having allowed any gambling,
short changing or petty thieving in
or around their shows. Being imbaed
with the spirit of progression, after
five years of hard work, and strict
economy, they became the proud pos
SCISSORS of their first elephant and
camel. The opening of the show the
next spring was to them the proudest
day of their lives From that time on,
every dollar made has been invested
to the bettering of the show; from
one they have increased their ele-
phans to & large herd; also their cam
els.

AT the time of the paving of
Chestnut street the property owners
on that thoroughfare were COMPEL
ed, through the decree of the city
administration then in power, to
pay the entire amount of the assess
ment for frontage improvement,
amounting to $2sO.34 for each Is foot
lot. Under the provisions of the
new Home Rule Charter, to be voted
upon by the tax. payers of Virginia
on Tuesday next. the property front
age will be called upon to pay but
40 per cent of the improvement as
sessment in the paving of addition
al streets, the balance to be paid
out of the general fund, while the
frontage will all be paid from the
general fund. If you are property
owner in the city, understanding
the existing conditions az to the
relative assessed valuation of the
mining properties within the corp
crate limits az compared with other
property, this provision of the new
charter should appeal to you. For
what touches a mans pocket is
usually accredited az having a bear
ing on his opinions, so long as it
does not call for any dishonorable
action upon hie part.

A Story From the SturQeoa.

NJ. A. Fridlund, a settler in the
Sturgeon valley, was in the city
Tuesday and Wednesday and made
the Enterprise pleasant call dur
ing his visit to the metropolis. Mr..
Fridlund has been in the section for
a number of years and has one of
the best improved tracts of land in
the valley, and tells of the agricult-
ural possibilities of the section in a
graz hic manner. He states that
last season he raised potatoes which
weighed as high ae one and one
half pounds each and rutabagas
which tipped the scales at eleven
pounds each. After hearing these
tales one cannot but have faith in
the future of the section, which
waits on good roads more than
aught else for development.

The commission plan of local
