God named the mountain;
only he can change it,"
This sentence, quoted in Off
cial records at the Washington
Historical building as being the
words of Angeline Seattle. daugh-
ter of old Chief Seattle Seattle, Is
one of the arguments set forth
by samuel Wall, editor of Whats
Doing Tacoma weekly maya
zine, for changing the official
name OF Mt. Tacoma.
After showing the real reason
why tho Mountain That Was God
was spitefully named for Captain
Regnisr, an Anglicized French
man. Editor Wall shows the ira
ditional and historical truth Of
the name Tacoma.
The Duwamish Indians, origi-
nal settlers on Puget Sound, called
ii Tacobet. The Klickitat In
dams. who settled on the eastern
slope OF the Cascades, named It
Takhoma. White men who first
came to the Sound called 1t By the
more euphonious Indian name,
out OF respect for the red men,
and soon they simplified the
spelling to Tacoma.

JitneY to Joplin.

There is going to be a jitney
line established between Baxter
Springs and Joplin. There are
at least two reasons, and maybe
more, why this will be done.
First, it will be a pleasant trip
second, it will be done because
the fare will be increased to Jop-
lin by the railroads to a point
higher than the jitneys will
charge. Third, but we said
there were only two reasons, is
because a lot of people will ride
in automobiles because they want
to experience the sensation they
perhaps can not experience in
any other way, not being able to
own a car.
And, too, because they can be
landed right on Main street in
Joplin or at their homes in this

S72.OO Zinc.

On Monday of this week the
base price for sixty per cent zinc
ore was $72.O per ton. This is
the highest price ever heard oi
for this ore, and is resulting in
the re-opening of mines all over
the district. Many properties
which could not be made to pay
with low price ore will be pro-
ducing again soon. Of course
the uncertainty of good weather
will delay work in some quarters,
but spring Is coming on mighty
fast, and the activity in mining
circles is going to be very pro-
nouuced;

Need a Buyer.

For the coming wheat crop, II
one is made, a buyer of wheat is
needed in Baxter Springs. The
big wheat crop raised in this To-
cality last year was completely
at the mercy of one man, who
sat in his easy chair in Joplin
and fixed the price for his buyers
to pay in Baxter Springs, Neu-
tral, Quapaw and Rivertou.
Where there was competition in
buying the farmers received more
for their wheat.
We are pleased to announce
that there will be competition in
the wheat buying line in Baxter
Springs for the next crop, and
the competition will be plenty
strong, too.
The "gyp" game has been
worked here long enough.
And from what we have been
able to learn, there will be buy
ers for other products, too.
And buyers are what is needed.
Buyers who will buy on the
market, and not for the trust.

Here's a Suggestion

If the Frisco and M. o. G.
roads want to do something that
is in the way of horse sense, let
them get a franchise in Baxter
Springs for a trolley system, aud
extend their lines right up into
town, and put on motor cars with
quick service to the nearby towns.
If they do not do this, they are
going to lose all local passenger
business in Baxter Springs.

The Highest Ever.
Passenger Rates to Joplin to Make
High Mark-Hieher Than
Ever Known.

DcBluuluk MdLSu Aob bnS AeAS
to Joplin on both the Nd. o. g.
and Frisco roads will be 81 cents,
And it will cost just AZ much to
come from Joplin to Baxter.
Of course, you can, If you are
wise, pay 16c and 60 to Galena,
get off the train and pay 15c foI
ride to Joplin on the electric
line. In this way you would be
getting to Joplin for the old
price, 31c.
But to do this, you will ueces-
sarily have to ride the Frisco to
Galeua, for the M. b. G. does
not stop at Galena. So you see
the Frisco is going to have it on
the M. o. G. for Joplin business,
or rather for Galena business, If
the party buying the ticket for
Galena really wants to 60 on to
Joplin. The M. o. G. is not 60
ing to be in it at all.
The new price will be the
highest tariff ever levied for a
fare to Joplin. Years ago the
price used to be 45c, but If you
got a round trip ticket the price
was soc. Now it will be $102.
Later on the price was reduced
to zoe for a round trip. Now it
will be $1.02. A few years later
the price was reduced to &c.
Under the new rate the price
will be S1.02.
How do you like it9
If you are sore, and you will
be. you can change your shop
ping place, you people who like
to shop out of town. For SIC
you can go to another market,
every bit as good as Joplin. We
mean Pittsburg, and you would
have the advantage of seeing q
place you have not been in the
habit of going to. Of course,
we do not mean to tell you to 60
there, for you ought to trade In
Baxter. The fare to Columbus
will be 22c, as it has been, but
the fare from Columbus to Pitts.
burg on the car line is ouly 35c,
making a trip to Pittsburg for
81 cents.
S1.02 added to your cab fare
makes it cost a plenty to 60 to
Joplin,
Here is what you can do. Three
or four automobiles are going to
be put on between Baxter and
Joplin, and the fare by this route
will be only SOC. You will save
bus fare in this way, for the
automobile will land you at 9th
and Main in Jopliu, and II will
pick yon up on Military street in
Baxter, or maybe it will come to
your home after you.
We have never believed in
grinding the railroad companies
down to a point where they could
not make any money, but when
the price goes higher than it has
ever been known to be, we atrOng'
ly advise you to take the autos
when you 60 to Joplin. In other
words, when you are gigged,
take a chance at using a gig
yourself,
Woudes what attitude the peo-
pie of Joplin are going to take
in this matter?
Verify we say unto you, use
the autos,
While the fare to Joplin has
been raised, or will be, zoe, yet
the fare to Kansas City will be
raised only 16c, or from $3.50 toI
1886.

Copenhagen, Oct. IL. i.42 p. Ma
British submarine torpedoed and sank
a German destroyer this morning at
the southern entrance to the SOUND,
a narrow strait between Denmark and
Sweden which connects the Baltic Sea
with the North Sea. A great explo-
sion followed the sinking Of the tor
pedo and the destroyer foundered i'm
mediateay.

which brought news Of this incident.
adds that another German destroyer
and cruiser which were accompanying
the destroyer that was sunk speeded
to the southwark.
The information received here indi-
Gates that.a the members Of the de-
stroyers crew were lost.
Additional details were given In a
subsequent despatch. According to
this version a German cruiser and
three destroyers were engaged with the
British submarine. The German craft
moved in circles in order to avoid
the submarine which was bombarded
heavily. This was continued for some
time until the submarine lodged tor
pedo on the destroyer, which sank
with terrific explosion.
The other German warships are said
to have retreated. The submarine rose
to the surface and remained on the
! scene for sometime before 1t disap-
peared. a.
A sharp lookout from the Danish
coast is being kept but no survivors
have been found.
