The immense practical value of the route
is shown by the statement that the time for the
trip from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires will be re-
duced to "a 35 hours thus facilitating the trans
port of passengers and of perishable merchandise.
While the romantic aspects of the journey will be
greatly reduced, the saving of time and the great
er of travel will more than atone for the
loss. The picturesque mountain pass and the
stage trip between railway terminals will be SUI
perseded by continuous allrail journey from
ocean to ocean in day and half.
So long as the chief exports of the countries in
terested continue to be materials no great

Increased Price Of Elk Teeth

salu western traveller at the Fred

ans used to have dozens of them in
thelr possession and traded them for
trlnkHts. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
OF the eih and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"

Within six hundredths of an inch of

for any day was the precipitation of
Wednesday, October 5. 1910. the day
set for the opening Of the third annual
Fall Festival In Richmond. While no
records were broken in regard to
amount Of rainfall the present wet
spell has made an endurance mark. as
1t has rained continuously since Tues
day night, at IL o'clock, until Thurs

stopped for five minutes. and then rs-
sumed operations.
That such an excessive amount of
rain has sreatly discouraged the Fall
Festival association can not be denied.
The fact that It came in the month of
October IL q most remarkable fact for
generally the first part Of the month is
dry.

Forty-six hours OF continuous rail.
fall probably was never witnessed in
this community before by the oldest
citizens and more than likely 1t will
be another century before 1t is wit.
messed again. According to the rec.
ords of Walter vossler. the govern.

county, it began to rain here at 4
O'clock on Tuesday morning and rain.
ed until Q that afternoon. It began
again at IL o'clock that evening and
at midnight when the registration was
made eighty hundredths inches Of rain
had fallen. It has rained continuously
since up until time for going to press
with the exception Of five minutes
rest. which the weather man took
Wednesday morning.
While it rained hard on Wednesday
1t was not the sort that runs off the
ground as rapidly as 1t falls. The riv'
er was raised, Of course, by the exces
sive amount of rain but not to the
point that any danger was felt by the
residents in Happy Hollow. 1t was not
thought the river will overflow its
banks to any considerable extent, un
less the downpour continues another
"a hours.
