totting around something like $4,000
in good United States currency.
Where fans and magnates have
gathered during the series here this

Ing Of Johnnie Eyers as manager of
the Chicago Cubs cost those same

Hank O'Day. but the fact remains
that had Evers been allowed to ca

would not have faced such a lean win

BRYAN NEEDS A WAGON YARD.

The Eagle calls attention to the need
of a wagon yard and camping place
in Bryan. AS 1t is, there is no place
where people from distance who
wish to spend the night, can find
camping accommodations. True, there
is not as much of this class of trade
as in former years, but there is ierdly
a night in the week but that one or
more wagons are not'iere from neigh
boring counties. Not only that, but
the Eagle believes If we had a good
wagon yard with ample accommoda
tons, there would be a great deal more
than there is now. Bryan needs the
trade and should not tesita,e to pro
vide these small comforts and ac-
commodations that will aid materially
in getting II. Bryan merchants carry
stocks Of goods from which to make
selections equal to those Of the larger
cities and there is no question but this
fact is a strong drawing card to the
people in other counties and they
would come, too, If they could only find
accommodations after they get here.
The Eagle believes the COMMERCIAL
Club would do well to take this matter
up and see II suitable grounds cannot
be secured and the necessary houses
and sheds constructed.

MUCH LENTEN FISH.
Enough Has Been Shipped From
Western Coast to Provide Four
Pounds to Person.

The demand for fish during the
Lenten season has caused great
amount of railroad business accord
ing to the railroad officials. 1t has
been necessary for trains from the
western coast to put on extra SER
vice, such as refrigerator cars and
even special trains to care for this
business.
The fish business is always stimu-
lated at this time of the year, but
never before, as it has this year. Can
ned salmon, fresh salmon and hall
but are the fayorite fish in the cas-
tern markets. Whole trainloads
nave been sent into Chicago, to be
sold in that city, to those who OBJ
serve Lent, and to be redistributed
about the country
That fresh fish is easily gotten at
this time of the year is possible be-
cause of the improved railroad SER

vice. 1t is said that fish can be ship
ped from Seattle on Tuesday and be
placed in the markets of Chicago for
sale by Friday morning. That one
may understand the enormous am
cunt of fish that is used in the United
States, the following figures are CIV
en-:
During the Lenten season this year
approximately 387,000,000 one-fb.
cans of Salmon have been sent from
the great fisheries of the western
coast This is enough to provide ev-
cry man, woman and child in the
United States with four pounds Of
fish. The fish tonnage from Puget
Sound is always very heavy, but this
season it far exceeds that of former
years.

ANOTHER CENTRAL SCHOOL.
Talk of School Consolidation i'm Hes.

Would be Consolidated.

There has been talk among the
residents of Hesper township for a
central school in that vicinity. The
state superintendent of instruction
will deliver an address at Hesper on
school consolidation the first week
in April. There are now eight
schools in the district, and the plan
is to have one large central school
With the new school proposition
some of the students would have to
go, perhaps about five miles.
Throughout the state there has
been something like thirty consoli-
dated districts made since last
April.
A vote on consolidation in Frank
vile will be held on March goth.
