Eldora. July Is. - AS an evil
dence that the present genera
ton is going some" and that travel
by means Of a team of horses and
buggy is too slow is seen on every
highway. In Eldora there are ninety
four automobiles, representing cost
Of s136,500 This number of machines
does not include those that have been
laid up for repairs" but only has to
do with those in actual service. The
high cost of living may possibly find
part Of its solution in this fact. that il
costs TO own and operate an automo-
bile. This $4,000 few years ago
undoubtedly was in the local banks
and meant something as evidence Of
thrift of the community. When We
stop to think that this amount of
houses as today stands in the public
square here We get some idea OF the
capital that gildes along the highway.
W. B. Ackles and family, who have
been here for sevc-a! months looking
after business matters and visiting rel
atives and friends, left Monday for
their homes in Seattle, Wash, going
by the way of British Columbia.

Saturday looking after business mat
tiers and visiting friends. Mr.. Clark Is
the gentleman who had to do with
