SEVENTH anniversary

The fact that yesterday was the seventh
anniversary of the filing OF the town plat

and all the comforts and conVenienceS of
modern life.
There have been mining towns which
have surged ahead even more rapidly
than this-and then petered out. But it
is doubtful if the history of the country
presents case where a city has grown
up SO rapidly without any of the elements
OF artificial, speculative promotion. simply
in response to the demand OF an aSri-
cultural district

of the city during the next twelve
With all the building activity of the
last few months, both in residences and
business houses. there is a lack of ac-
commodationS which is widely felt, and
here in midsummer efforts are constantly
being put forth to get additional men to
keep work in progress.
Early in the fan there is to he the be
ginning of structural work on z greater
level than the town has experienced, and
the present prospect is that the city will
gain fully 80 per cent. and possibly 100
per cent. during the next twelve months.

DEMOCRATS KEEP SENATE
Raynor's Death to Reduce Ma
jortty, But It will be Safe
. 81. Altar March &.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Unoffl-
cial figures prepared by officers
of the senate show that the senate
will be in undisputed control Of
the Democrats on March 4, 1913.
Up to the death of Senator Ray
nor of Maryland the Democrats
figured that in the new senate
they would have a majority Of
four. AS the Maryland vacancy
will be filled by a republican, who
will hold over January, 1914, the
Democratic majority will be re-,
duced to two.
This majority will be MAIN
tanned whatever the outcome in
the Illinois legislature where the
conditions are chaotic. II is also
based upon what now seems to
be certainty, that Tennessee will
send a democrat to the senate to
succeed Newell Sanders, republi-
can.
Exclusive of Illinois, therefore,
the senate of March will be
composd of forty-nine democrats
and forty-five republicans, includ
ing the progressives. If Illinois
elects two republicans, the demo-
Gratis will still maintain control
by a narrow margin.
