MANY BRIGHT SPOTS.
Business Outlook Is Better Than 1t
Has Been for Weeks.

New York, June 17-Dun's Weekly
Review says:
For the first time in MANY weeks.
there are signs of recovery from the
depression in the iron and steel trade.
and while pig iron continues very dull,
lnefe are increased orders for finished
steel notably III the structural and
wire divisions. The railroad demand
also is better, which promises well for
the future. A LEADING trunk line has
authorized the purchase of so Iocomo-
tives.
In dry goods there is more improve
menr IN sentiment than in activity, and
tne increased confidence is based upon
strength impaired to the situation by
me low stocks and upon the effect of
bright crop prospects. The actual de-
Inahd IS much below the normal point
put gives evidence of some expansion.
torelgn trade is largely in excess Of
last year, and this is, next to agricul-
tural conditions. the brightest spot in
the Whole business situation
The strong statistical position of
stocks in first hands and the notable
curtailment in production which stifl
prevails in dry goods lines confirm the
feeling of confidence in the future. ali
though present business is very o11iet

REMODEL CITY HALL
Police viii Have No. 2 Fire
Company Rooms.
Offices to Be Made Larger-A
Reorganization.

The construction of a new fire de-
partment headquarters building and the
remodeling of the interior of the city
hail viii begin as soon as the city board
of commissioners can make the plans.
For some time this need has been real
lied by the city officials and at a future
meeting of the board the matter will
be brought up for consideration by May
or Billiard.
1t is planned to erect in the downtown
business district large building for
fire department headquarters equipped
with every modern appliance in fire de-
partment work. The present police sta
ton, together with the property, will be
sold and the police headquarters will be
moved to the quarters in the city hail
now occupied by the fire department CT
fees.
Several offices in the city hall proper
will be enlarged and number Of ar
rangements viii be changed. Police
headquarters will be placed in close as
ISOLATION with the rest of the city Of
fees, in order that better results can be
obtained in this department.
It is contended that the police de-
partment offices at this time are too
far away from city hall to work eff
fectively with the city officials. It
is claimed also that Fifth and Jack
son street is not the proper location
for the police headquarters. Seventh
and Quincy streets, now occupied by
the fire headquarters, is said to be
the best location.
Mayor Billiard is strongly in favor
of the move. He believes the head
quarters engine houses of the fire de-
partment are too crowded in their
present quarters. He believes also
that 81 fire station should not remain
under the city hall offices.
The mayor has been advocating this
change for some time and he believes
now that the city will find it neces-
sary to make the change soon.
The police headquarters is too far
away from the city officials and the
fire headquarters with their large
mum Der of horses Should not remain
under the city hall Offices said the
mayor. I'VE viii have to erect a new
building for Chief Wilmarth and his
No 2 headquarters. They are crowd
ed and in time will have new equip
ment. think we win be able to sell
the present police property and erect
a fire building"
Every one in the city hall agrees
that the move should be made. Plans
will be drawn up for the new build
ing and for.the remodeling soon.

SAVE The OLD BELL.
Washburn AIumnus Makes 2 Plea for
Its Preservation.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The recent stealing of the old bell
from the pedestal on which it had
been placed as a memorial for the
"Old Washbu.n" and the class of 1911
should arouse the resentment of eV-
cry loyal V9ashburn alumnus.
Since the burning of Rice hall two
former classes planned to give the old
bell place of honor on the campus.
The class of 1909 planned to have it
recas. and placed where it could be
used again but at the urgent request
Of President Sanders. gave the money,
g sum of $500, to start the Washburn
Campus Improvement association
fund, and now their work seems to
have been forgotten az many were
heard to inquire: WHO started the
campus association movement any
way?''
The class OF 1910 made a similar
request to put up the old bell, but
their money likewise went to the
campus associate fund and there is
plate in acknowledged of this to
the class of 1910 in front of Boswell
hall
The class of 1911 really accomplish
ed what so many desired. and gave the
old bell place of honor near it's for
mer home. Now by what seems to
the writer to be an act of vandalism,
it has been taken away. Too little
regard seems to be given to old ira
ditions and loyalty to what they stood
for. And it is to be hoped that bet

and not melted up az rumor has sug-
gested to be given out as souvenirs

the end Of the year. Persons who are
acquainted with the work declare that
IN Few years many rural schools will
carry manual training course and
that District rs merely realized the
needs Of their school before other dis

OF the tax payers in District rs, I'VE

Public Service.

Nineteen Of Them Now Where
Six Grew Before.
Gain Has Been Great in Past
Seven Years.

A study OF the assessment of the
public service corporations of the state
by counties shows many interesting
facts. The state tax commission has
just issued the assessment figures for
the 1910 tax. This has been printed
but a recapitulation dwelling upon GER
tain particulars is worth while.
Only two counties in tbs state. Grant
and Stevens, are without public service
corporations at all. Six vf the counties
are without railroads. the six south
west counties. Grant and Stevens have
no telephones worth listing as public
service corporations. Nineteen coun-
ties now have street ana interurban
railway lines, a big gain in the past six
years.
