We understand that the hub
factory at Lesterville has, or is
considering the a~dvisability of
closing down, and possibly the re-
moval of the plant from that place
on account of a scarcity of timber
suitable for their purposes. Since
the location of a hub factory at
Lesterville some years ago, we
hear it stated that in the neigh
borhood of 1900, 900 hubs have
been manufactured and shipped
out. This number would furnish
hubs enough to put up 500, 900
wagons.-Center0ille Outlook.
Citizens of Potosi have petitioned
the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission of Missouri to have a new
depot built at Potosi to take the
place of the present structure,
which was built in 1866, and is to-
day one of the oldest buildings in
Potosi, and should be replaced
with a new building. The BUSH
ness at Potosi station justifies the
building of an up-to-date depot,
and it is to be hoped that this
matter will be taken up at once by
the railroad company and a new
depot built. -Potosi Independent.
The State Food Inspector was in
Rolla Tuesday, visiting the varions
mercantile and manufacturing es-
ia adjustments. He called attention
to the fart that under the law of
this state all eggs in this state
must be candled before they can
be sold or shipped to anyone;
that all fresh vegetables must be
kept under a net SO that flies can
not reach them. That all canned
vegetables in which the cans are
pulled must be set aside and not
offered for sale. He called the at
.tention of the merchants and bus
mess men to the fact that any vio-
lation of the pure food law was a
misdemeanor and would be pros
ecuted accordingly. We are
pleased to state that the inspector
found very little to condemn in
Rolla.-RoLG Herald.
Mr.. A. j. Zwart spent several
days with his family here this
week. He has been for some time
experimenting the surveying and
preliminary work of the Ozark
Power and Water Company on
White river near Springfield, Mo-,
locating the dam and lake. The
work is pretty we'll advanced, and
the lake will be about eighteen
miles long and practically a half
mile wide. The company expects
to furnish power for electric light
plants and manufacturing of all
kinds at Springfield and perhaps
other points in the Southwest, but
principally at Springfield. Mr..
Zwart said the country in the
vicinity of the lake is high. rug
ged and picturesque and may
eventually become a popular sum-
mer resort -Farmington Times.

A startling rumoT in regard to
the movement of Iron Mountain
fast passenger trains is in circula-
ton here to-day, but as to the
truth of it little is known. Tt is
said that soon the company will
run all but four of its heavy and
fast passenger trains through
Poplar Bluff over the Cat branch
and into and out of st. Louis via
the Cotton Belt to Dexter. The
fast mail and two or three of the
slower or local trains will be con-
tinued on the main line between
here and st. Louis, but on account
Of the low grades and quicker
time to be made the other heavy
and fast passenger trains will run
via Dexter, limo and the Thebes
bridge. This rumor, however,
has been in circulation before and
nothing has come of it and it may
not be true now.-Popldr Bluff Cit-
