FAILURES FOLLOW
CLOSING OF BRIDGE
One Sterling Street Firm Goes 0ut Of
Business to be Followed by Others if
Relief is not Afforded.

The barber shop Of Foote and Poll
sena at As Sterling street has been clos
ed on account of the falling off in bust
ness caused by the removing of the
Congress street bridge. Merchants in
the vicinity are complaining bitterly of
the loss to them on account of the
failure of the bridge commission to
fulfill it's promise to construct a foot
bridge to accommodate the 10000 peo-
pie who were in the habit of using the
bridge to pass across the river.
Other merchants in the vicinity say
that they will be obliged to close up
soon if something is not done to re-
lieve them. They point out that the
loss is irreparab1e. There is no pos
sibility that it can ever be made up.
In short time the small capital of
most the business men in the vicinity
will be used up and they will be fore
ed into bankruptcy. Those who are
able to weather the storm will do so
at a loss which they feel is unneces-
sary. Another appeal will be made to
the mayor to relieve the situation.

DR.. Cook has been exposed by the
University of Copenhagen as fraud.
But he will always be famous. OF course
it will be difficult at this time to find
anybody who ever personally believed
Cook had been to the pole, but every
body knows that everybody else was
fooled. However, as we said, DR.. Cook
has attained world wide fame and will
go down in history as the most colossal
fakir of all the centuries. Just in "fame''
he has exceeded Capt. Peary. Only a
few people comparatively have attempt-
ed to attain the apex of the world at the
north pole, but there are and have been
millions of liars. Capt. Peary only
stands at the head of the smaller party.
Seriously, one can't help but have a sort
of admiration for the cheek OF man
who could conceive and carry out for
even a few months so stupendous SCI
entitic fraud.

Jerry CHRISTMAS.

For the twenty-third time as publish
ers we have the pleasure If wishing our
readers merry Christmas. To-day we
again wish the compliments of the sea-
son to very large number of good
friends who received our first holiday
salutation and to whom the Pioneer Ex-
press has been constant visitor every
week since that time. While Time in
It's cycles has made many inevitable
changes, there still remain large num-
Der of these old time friends on our
subscription lists to whom we make
special greeting. The ties that have
bound us through the Pioneer Ex-
press, through all these years, and which
also include and imply the ties of pioneer
life and struggles, mean friendships that
only death can sever. To these we wish
not only merry Christmas but many
happy new years yet to come. And then
the boys and girls. the sons and daught-
ers of the pioneers. Some unborn when
first we saluted our readers with a
Christmas greeting, now have children
of their own-and to these who have
grown up with us, and with the old pio-
neers, and with the country, we extend
hearty and CHEEKY wish for future hap
piness and prosperity.
Besides. there are many who came
later aud joined the Pioneer family
where there has always been warm well
come and room for all. To these also we
extend our best wishes and friendship.
They have helped us and their commune
ties, we hope We have helped them.
Christmas Is the home coming day.
While we reverse the rule, and we go
to the individual members Of our large
family instead Of each coming to US, yet
while we thus shale in your pleasures
we also hope that in at least some small
way that We may add to your happinesa
and Welfare.
May prosperity attend sll ouE readsrs,
our beloved nation, our great stats y
