COLUMBIA THE METROPOLIS OF CEN7R4I MISSOURI

This Commercial Club has not only
been active in securing factories and
other industries for the town bat it
has aroused spirit of civic pride
amcng the citizens and ably assisted
in building up the now SO prevalent
Columbia spirit of getting what You

Good Sidewalks Now.
These things together with the
growth of The University have caused
Columbia's growth Six or seven
years ago Columbia had the worst
streets and walks in the world.
Improvement began with the walks
and the city is now model in this
respect. No other city Of its size in
Missouri has SO many miles of gIani-
told sidewalks as has Columbia.

Columbia is a city Of homes. More
fine dwellings are tC be found within
its limits than in any city of its size

came for them to retire from active
business, built themselves 4 home

The opportunities for successful in
vestment are too many and too varied
in Columbia now People who move
to Columbia with the idea of retiring
and enjoying what they have made
are soon routed from their seclusion
by the lure of a profitable business
opening and enter upon some new
filed of business activity
The city's Rapid Growth.
Columbia j. the most rapidly grow
ing city in Missouri. Her growth is
SO steady and so natural that resi-
dents of the city scarcely notice it
and comparisons must be made with
the year previous for the extent Of
that growth. Columbia has no boom
of any kind. Her growth is simply
the result of a favorable location and
the work of a progressive Commercial
Club.

Remarkable Growth in the

Columbia, which Is generally con-
ceded to be the coming city of Gen.

homes. splendid people, unsurpassed
educational opportunities. and sound
business enterprise. This is what
any citizen in Columbia will tell you
ii you should ask him about Column
bia. The town is represented to ev.
cry one as place where magnificent
opportunities for investment and in
dustrial development are offered.
The truth of their statements is
proved by the actual progress Of the
town and it's enterprises within the
last few years. the doubling of the pop
ulation within the last ten years, and
the increase in real estate values. The
real estate business in Columbia to-
day is worked on larger and more
intense scale than any other occupa-
ton. with the exception of the educa-
tional field, and this is due to the fact
that the town is on a continual and
substantial boom.

Greater Columbia" and that the new

Yost, obliquely across the street from
the Todd house. The caving in was
slow but by noon it had opened until
the mouth of it at the surface was
about ten feet square. This opening
occurring on the opposite side of Lew

ed that the same conditions might
prevail beneath the street surface.
so the authorities ordered Lewis
Street closed. Mr.. Yost at once en-
ployed Mr.. Is. l. Partlow to take
charge of the cavern and protect the
sides so as to stop further falling OF
earth. This Mr.. Partlow undertook
at once and worked on all day yester-
day. The city authorities transferred
force over to Lewis steet and began
sinking test holes along the street.
across the line of the cavernous indi-
cations and struck rock in each in
stance, the deepest hole being 35 Ia
feet. The fact that there was another
break in the surface caused q. tempo
rary futter yesterday morning which

take hold of the affair. 1t is possible
that some work will go on today in
this new opening, provided there il
danger OF the sides slipping. All q
the other breaks heretofore are wei

MIR. Samuel q. Kelley, attorney for
the Phil G. Kelly Company, of Rich
mond was in the CITY yesterday to
represent tine defendant company ID
a case now pending in the corporation
court for the sale of Alto Malt in To-
cal option territory. Commonwealth q
Attorney Braxton and Attorney Kel-
lev agreed to submit the whole case
to Judge Holt on an agreed statement
of facts, the latter postponing his de-
cision for several days IN order to
give Mr.. Kelley an opportunity to file
his note of authorities.
The questions raised in this case
are peculiarly interesting and have
not. so far as known, been heretofore
decided by court. The charge il
that they sold direct to customer
here but it is claimed by the defense
that the sale was not made here but in
Richmond. If the contention Of
the Commonwealth Attorney should
be sustained, it will have great
effect in the shipping OF goods
from wet territory into dry terri
tory. The decision is therefore
awaited with much interest.

M|LLBORO LETTER

Millboro, Va. Aug. 30.-The season
at this resort has been one of unusual
pleasure in gaiety am ong the guests.
Under the management of Mr.. H.
T.. Lyttleton the Millboro Hotel and
Cottages have been filed to their
capacity with most pleasant and
congenial company, many OF them
from both western and eastern cities.
The waters to be had here are SO
varied in mineral qualities as to reach
and remedy many of the ills to which
flesh and blood are heir. In the hotel
are served sulphur, Chalybeate, Alum
and free stone. AS the fall approach
es. the prettiest time OF the year to
be in the mountains, it is learned
that the hotel company will make
special terms to September and Octo-.
Der guests. The Millboro., Water. Co.,
is an enterprise that has recently
brought comfort and great advan-
tages to this community. By gravity
an abundant supply of pure frse
stone water is brought 2 Ia miles
from Big Spring in Mill mountain
and is supplied generally to the resi-
dences and places OF business here.
Quite lot of building and other
Improvements are going on here. Tie
Met ormick Brothers are erecting
several new houses and will soon
have them ready for occupancy.
just now there is much interest
taken in the newly projected rail
way. This road if built is to open up
vast area Of virgin timber lands in
Bath county, surveying parties have
located the road and have found
comparatively easy grades AS now
cont emplated the road will leave
the G. and o. at a point between
Millboro and BIatt ons Bridge ano
going up Mill Creek to Chestnut
Ridge, along that ridge what is known
as Scotchtown Draft, thence tt
Williamsville, crossing CowpastuI'
river and proceeding to the neigh
borhood of Glover Greek. The dis
lance thus covered is about 16 mllei
and, if built: the road is to be 4
standard guage. The possibilities
and the probabilities of great devel
| opment hinge upon the building o
this road from all that can be learn
ed the enterprise now hangs only up
on the question of cost.
/ 1t is hoped and believed that thl
problem will De met, if SO, an earl
opening of the work may be expected

ORDERS SALE OF PROPERTY
General Hospital Board And w. S.H.
Contending Over Proceeds of Sale

Lynchburg, Va, Aug. 72.-f the
edict of the general state hospital board
is observed by the board Of the Wes-
tern State Hospital at Staunton. steps
will be taken immediately looking to
the sale of the Murkland proper ty on
one of the bluffs in Amherst opposite
the city. for such an order was made
by the board at recent meeting at
Marion.
This property. it will be recalled,
was left about five years ago for the
benefit Of state epileptic patients and
it resulted in the effort to establish
the epileptic colony in Amherst
county and it is and has been the
bone of considerable contention dur
ing the past three or four years, for
the Staunton board claims it
should have the funds arising from
the sale of the property.
Indeed, this is the object of a suit
now pending in the courts of the
state, in which the Stanton board
| is suing the general board over {
question of bookkeeping, as to wheth
er it should have this fund or whether
it should go to the general board
Some months ago the suit was thrown
ont of court in Richmond upon ,
question of lack of jurisdiction. bu
recently it has been gotten before tn
State Supreme Court upon an appeal
and here the question of jurisdictiol
will be determined.
The result of the case will be to ad
wise the auditor of public account
who to credit with the. funds arising
from this sale.
Indeed, it has been suggested tina
the title of the litigation should b
changed from the Staunton Board, VI
the General Hospital Board. to tn
| State of Virginia against the State
Virginia.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES MELT
Beverley Manor Board Considers
Several Matters of Importance


School trustees for Beverley Manor
district. Brown, Deffenbaugh, and
Todd. met with Supt. Somerville IN
his Office last Saturday and considered
several matters effecting their schools.
Messrs. Sanger, Keller. and Carter
living in the extreme eastern end OF
the district were present to say that
there were eight or ten children IN
their neck of the woods out OF reach
of any school in the district. They
realized they were too few in number
to Justify either school house, Or
school wagon. Including some children
in same neighborhood living over the
line in South River there were tw' nty
or more. They asked the two districts
to unite in furnishing transportation
to graded school, or open schooi
nearby for the children of both dis
tricts. They were referred to the
South River board with the promise
that Beverley Manor would unite in
either proposition.
From the Arbor Hill section came
Mr.. Clarence Glover who modestly
stated that he wanted very little. only
a few repairs to tine buildings. These
"few repairs" were new floors in both
rooms. both rooms ceiled all around
and above, and a new porch 8 20 1T.
He would not ask for new roof un
til next year. He got all he wanted
and the work will be done at once.
Mint Spring was represented by pa
irons Ritchie and Evans. A new build
| ing with 8 or rooms is badly neec
ed for that growing school. 1t was evl
dent such building could not be erect
ed in time for the coming session. Al
at least % per cent of the pupils come
from Riverheads and South River II
was thought those districts would pa!
that much of the cost, and that pa
j irons would give site. With ina
understanding it was agreed to buiie
a modern school to cost about F(
thousand dollars. Beverley Manor pa
irons have learned not to miss goot
by not asking for it.
