THE DAY BOOK HAS A BIRTHDAY
BY NJ. D. Cochran.

The Day Book is two years old to-
day. The first issue was published
Sept. %, 1911. For months only two
routes were carried, while expert
ments were being made. The Day
Book was not placed on sale on
stands in the loop until December 2,
1912.
Now it is on stands only in a linn
tied territory, and is being extended
only as fast as solid circulation can
be secured.
For The Day Book to succeed as
an adless newspaper its circulation
must be compact That is, the sales
must be large enough to pay the ex-
pense of delivery.
While the circulation is much
smaller than it would be if wagons
and autos delivered it all over town
where there is a demand for it, still
The Day Book has been able to rem
der some public service. 1t will con-
tinue so long as believe it is render
ing public service.
1t is not paying now, and will have
to have considerable more circulation
before it does pay. It can be made
to pay without line of advertising,
for there is a profit on the white
paper.
AS soon as 1 get around to it, l in
tend to tell the public all there is to
know about The Day Book, what its
circulation is, what the cost of pub
LEGATION is and how much circulation
it must have to put on a paying basis.
I want to make it as near public
utility as possible, and there is no
reason why it should have any sec
rets from its readers. The Day Book
enters upon its third year today. 1
still believe Chicago needs an adless
paper that is free to tell the truth,

DANVHLE'S TOBACCO
MARKET IS RECORD

DANVfLIE VA, Oct. 1s,--Dan-
vile Is today facing the greatest glut
of leaf tobacco it has known for
years The quantity Of tobacco
brought to market in one day in
wagons aud by rail has never been
equalcd in the city's history as a
market
Splendid seasons last week and the
approach nf tfIe fair this week COM
bined to cause the rush to market,
aided. of course. by the stiff ruling
of prices. All Saturday and sunday
and Sunday night rumbling wagons
in caravans have been pouring in by
every road until conservative esti-
mates place the number OF loads
brought by horses at no fewer than
thousand while many hoJsheads
and tierces have been received.
Fridays sales were the largest In
years and blocked necessitating sales
which continued almost all of Satur-
dav. Today's receipts of tobacco will
exceed those and no fewer than a
million pounds are spread upon ware
house floors In the big sale houses.
Sales will block again today and
provide enough unsold TO necessitate
selling all day tomorrow and stll
more wagons are pouring in.
Prices hold unusually hrm. conslo

TRANSPORTATION Of
EXPLOSIVES SUBJECT
INSPECTOR SHOEMAKER AD-
DRESSES RICHMOND RAIL-
ROAD CLUB.

An address on the interstate COM
merce commission regulations for the
safe transportation Of explosives and
other dangerous articles was deliver
ed before the Richmond Railroad
club last night by W. Shoemaker, in
spector of the bureau of explosives
of the American Railway association
These regulations are based upon
an act OF congress approved March 4,
1909, and are designed to emphasize
the dual responsibility, in the inter
est of public safety. that rests upon
the shipper and the carrier. The
particular purpose Is that the ship
per shall know the true characteristics
of his shipments and familiarize
himself with the fequirements of the
regulations in order that he may in
form the carrier by the use Of pre-
scribed certificate. marking and
labels.
The importance Of the regulations
may be realized. caid the speaker,
from the fact that there are in this
country more than $50 factories. the
combined product of which in the
course of year Is over SEQ, 600, 600
pounds of explosives. In one year a
single railroad transported 100000 900
pounds Of explosives and used for this
purpose 10000 cars
Since the bureau referred to be-
gan It's operations. there has been
very little trouble from the trans
portation of explosives in the United
States. and it Is believed when the
work of the bureau has been fully de-
veloped. the danger from this source
will have been reduced to minimum.
The thoroughuess with which this
campaign for safety has been pursued
may be Indicated by the fact that
special supervision is given not only
to the transportation OF dynamite,
black powder and other eplosives, but
IL is now provided that special care
shall be used In the handling of any
material that gives off infiammable
vapors at or below temperature OF
80 degrees, Farenhcit: materials
subject to spontaneous combustion;
materials other than acids that ara
liable TO cause accidents by frictioNj
corfcuasion, absorption Of moisture
contact with organic matter and
otherwise. Special rules also govern
the handling of compressed gases, as
well as a list Of the more virulcnt
acids and corrosive liquids.
The meeting was held At Murphy q
hotel and was well attended by mem
hers Of tn club.

Citizens In the vicinity Of the Second
market express themselves as favoring

This proposition has been presented
to the administrative board by Com
missioner Hirschberg. The meat mar
ket has not been paying proposition
TO the city, nor to the hucksters. There
are a number OF meat stores nearby.
These stores keep open all hours Of
the day. The hucksters in the market
must close at hours fixed by the ad-
ministrative board. Hence the men in
the market have not been able to hold
their own. That Is why some months
ago, Commissioner Beck intimated that
II would be good thing to close the
meat market
Better Than Market.
The citizens feel that a garage would
be better than a meat market or any
other market. There are not as many
unsanitary conditions, the citizens
aver, surrounding q garage. especially
a private one, as surround market.
Few flies or other pests eminate from

The board of aldermen will be called

The value of having the city garage

MORE IMPROVEMENTS
AT ROUNDUP PARK

The annual installment of the work
of making Roundup Park into
thing of beauty and a joy forever
is now under way. The directors of
the frontier association have made
an appropriation for improvements
and men and teams are now carrying
out another part of the plans OF
Landscape Architect Weed.
1t is the intention of the directo-
rate to compile if possible the entire
east end of the park, according to
the designs of the architect this year.
Scrapers are at work leveling the
ground and wagons are hauling in
rich surface dirt. Much of the east
ern part is uneven and rocky so that
the undertaking is by no means a
small one. When the surface is lev
eled, the ground will be seeded and
trees and Shrubbery planted.
Another driveway is also being
made 1t leads from the southeastern
gate in a wide curve to the north and
west and connects with the driveway
already traversing the grove in the
northern part of the park. However,
it will bisect this driveway back of the
bleachers and continue on past the
Indian bleachers and along the filled
section just beyond the back stretch
of the track.

BOULEVARD ALONG
RIVER is PLAN

Plans are under way to make the
private driveway leading west along
the river from Main street past the
old academy buildings into an uu-
to-date boulevard, according to an
announcement made Saturday by E.
T Wade. local real estate dealer
Practically all of the lots facing this
driveway have been sold to persons
who intend to build bungalows and
all have agreed to stand the expense
of a modern boulevard
The driveway. though it has been
in common use as a passageway for
teams and pedestrians, is private
property. However, the sentiment OF
those who own it is to keep it open
and improve it, Winding as it does
along the river. past the academy
buildings and connecting with the
streets again eventually, it can be
made into a beautiful auto drive.
When this is done and the bunga-
lows built, this section of the city
will be second to none as a residence

can be nothing built in front to OBJ

LARGER CHECKS ON
II. II. LINES AFTER JUNE

La Grande. Ore, April by the
fourth of June this year the new state
law requiring added brakemen and
known as the full crew law, becomes
effective throughout Oregon. Gener-
ally the law requires three brakemen
on every freight train of 40 cars or
over exclusive of the caboose and en-
gine, and will add from 26 to 80
brakemen out of La Grande, at an
average salary of $125 each or ap-
proXimately $4,000 more O.-W. pay
checks monthly in this city. 1t is
generally reported that the general
management will grant the extra
brakeman on all trains running out
of La Grande because of the mum
famous district covered by the O.-W.
but the general law calls for the third
brakeman only on trains of 40 cars
or more.
The law becomes effective on June
4, on which date the added crews &c
on. Assistant superintendent Buck
ley estimated that 25 additional
brakemen will be required by the law
in this division and some place the
new men as high as 80, all of which
means close to $4,000 additiona
monthly payroll for La Grande.
The third brakeman will act as
flagman and do brakemans work
too. The new railroad law has many
features and it occasioned consider
debate in the legislature, covering the
matter of electric headlights, the
RUNNING Schedule for stock trains
and several other important issues.
