rs OPEN SEASON
FOR BIG BONFIRES
Plenty Of Dry Leaves to be Had and
Youngsters Are In Their Eie-
ments These Fall Nights.

% - n
The bonfire season Is at hand. Walk
down any of the streets in the city
about dusk and you will see the
youngsters industriously securing the
neighborhood for leaves. Ask them to
put the same amount Of energy into
cutting kindling and the result would
be an awful howl. But they can
walk miles to secure an armful OF
leaves, and will work hard to rake
clean the lawns about their homes.
The early evening sky is bright
with the reflection from numerous
bonfires. Big ones and little ones.
and middle sized ones, all help to I'LL
the atmosphere with the smell OF
burning leaves.
The crop OF dead leaves seems TO
be particularly heavy this season, and

FIRST CAR OVER
new EXTENSION
Special Car Over Mckinley Avenue
Extension. Carries Large
Number Of People
Yesterday
START SERVICE TODAY
First Regular Street Car Service In
New Residence District
is Started This
Morning.

The first cars to be sent out over
the new Mckinley avenue extension
made the trip yesterday afternoon,
carrying about one hundred passen-
gers on the special excursion. The
car left Sixth and Main streets at $3.50.
Many OF the passengers live In the
new residence district, while others
were local people who had not yet
seen the new addition.
Regular service on the new extern
sion was started this morning. A
stub, car will be used temporarily
to run out the new line and will meet
the regular cars at the junction point
OF the old and new lines. This car
will be used only until the trolley on
the new extension has been properly
adjusted.
Manager Ingle stated today that 1t
probably would be necessary to make
some experimental runs before the
exact schedule for the cars to this dis
trict is determined. In all probability
the people living In the Mckinley ave
nue. district will be given half-hourly
service during the winter. This will
mean that every other car making the
trip from the Park will run out
the new extension while the other
cars will go only to the end Of the old
line.
The company will not put on an.
other car and reduce the schedule be
low fifteen minutes, Manager Ingle
said, as the expense would not be JUS
titled by the amount of traffic. How
ever, fifteen minute service will prob
ably be given the Mckinley avenue
section next summer when more
houses will be erected there.
