There is receptacle for ice near

Start the fountain to flowing, keep
the light burning at night and keep
ice there at all times during the

TAFT WILL MAKE
MANY SPEECHES
Plans for Western Tour Practical
~ Completed

Washington, Aug. 21.--plans for
President Taft's coming trip through
the west and to the Pacific coast
practically were completed yester-
day. The journey will be almost as
extensive as that taken by the presi-
dent on his famous swing around
the circle" in 1905, when he Travelled
more than 1900 miles and visited
33 states. He will break ground for
the Panama canal exposition at San
Francisco, make several score OF adj
dresses and attempt 10 scale the a.
900 feet of Mount Rangers precipit-
GUS slope.
According to the present arrange
rent, the president will be gone six
weeks. In that time, il is expected
that he will make close TO 200
speeches. from platforms, from the
rear end of his private car and at
other places not on the regular
schedule. Republican leaders look
upon the trip as the most important
politically that the president has
mapped out since entering the white
house. He will 20 through all the
states In the west in which they
recognize the domination OF the pro-
gressive republicans who are counted
on to oppose his denomination next
year.
The president probably will leave

Colorado and Nevada to the coast.
Most OF the big cities in the states

be visited but the plans for the trip
contemplate stops at scores OF
smaller places as well. From Cali
fornia the president will go north TO
Portland and Seattle. Three days
are TO be spent IN Washington state
and the route eastward will allow
him 10 stop In Idaho. Montana, the
Dakatas and Minnesota.

Of this giant concern which is spread
ing its network of wires over the
Piedmont section ike spider spin

Today, deeds for rights OF way for
the company in Oak Grove township
were filed at the Office of the register
of deeds Of the county. Surveyors are
now al work on the route to Raleigh
from Durham and rights OF way are
being secured as rapidly as possible.
This can mean but one thing, and
that is the company intends to enter
Raleigh and compete for business
there with the numerous other COM
panies that are now preparing TO en-
ter the Capitol city with supply OF
electrical energy. Some have thought
that the Southern Power company in
tends TO make connection with some
Of the power plants that are now be-
ing Installed In the vicinity Of Raleigh.
This seems hardly probable, for the
reason that, II this had been the inten-
tion Of the company. the long line
from Greensboro to Durham would
not have been constructed.
The line to Durham Is now complete
and the wires have been strung into
the sub-station near the Pearl cotton
mill The greater part OF the trans
forming machinery has been placed in
the sub-station and power will In a
short time be going through the sta
ton into the cotton mills and otter

machinery necessary for driving the
splndles OF the cotton mills is being
placed and the whole systems will
