A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who
cultivate them; not by its great for

not by it's mines, but by the men
who work in them; not by its rail
ways, but by the men who build and
run them. America was great land
when Columbus discovered it; Ameri-
cans have made of it a great Nation.
In l776 our fathers had a vision of a
new Nation conceived in liberty and
dedicated TO the proposition that all
men are created equal" Without an
army they fought the greatest of exist

ize this vision. A third of century
later, without navy they fought the
great test navy in the world that thet
might win for their Nation the freedom
of the seas. Half century later they
fought through an unparalleled Civil
War that they might establish for all

right Of life, liberty. and the pursuit
of happiness. A third of century later

UNCLE SAM, RAIlR0AOEa,
OPERATING 1875 MILES

WASHINGTON, Nov. s. - One
hundred and thirty-six miles of the
new Government Alaskan railroad
to connect Seward with Fairbanks
q distance OF 466 miles-is now in
operation with daily trains running.
On the 1876 miles, II comprise the
old Alaska-Northern railway line,
" hich has been repaired and again
in operation. Sixty-five miles is en-
tirely new.
The OLD Alaska-Northern line ran
from Seward to Kern Creek. and was
built in 1904-falling into practical
disuse during 1908. The new sec
tion connects the town of Anchorage,
on Cook Inlet, with Matanuska coal
fields. Coal is now being daily
hauled from these fields.
The next link in the road-whieh
is not expected to be cut clear
through until the fall of 1919-will
he the connecting section between
Kern Creek to Anchorage, which il
is hoped by the government engi-
Leers, Will be completed next year
Work is also progressing in the
vicinity of Fairbanks where rush
work is being done to connect up the
town with the adjacent Menana coal
fields Fairbanks now facing fuel
shortage.
The estimated cost OF the construc-
ton of the 466 miles of the main
line (ineluding the branch to the
coal fields) is s25,642.-
600. or this sum Sill 100000 will
have been expended up to the close
OF the present fiscal year.

RECENT bond ISSUE WILL EN-
ABLE CITY To PAVE SEVER
Al ADDITIONAL STREETS.
ROYAL Street VIII Probably BE First

Ferris Avenue Contract.
Brown street Waiting.

when the city council met In reg
ular session last night there was a
scramble among property owners
along different streets to get in their
claims for street paving made pos
sible by the recent bond issue. While
some half a dozen streets are al
most ready for paving only two
were in such shape as to come before
the council last night. J. Lea Gam
mon, on behalf of the property own
ers on Brown street. asked that this
street be paved and the council pass
ed an order declaring the necessity
OF paving same.
Bird Forrest appeared before the
council and stated that the property
J owners on Royal street were willing
| to waive all legal process in order
to have that street paved Immediately
and the council passed an order that
proper instruments be drawn up for
the work TO go forward. While no
such action was taken IL Is possible
that this street will be paved under
the same contract that Ferris ave
nue. is now being paved.
There are movements on foot look
ling towards the pavement of College
street aud portions OF Marvin avenue.
The council made a contract with
the Eureka Fire Hose company for
1000 feet of standard fire hose, 500
feet to be delivered at once and the
remaining 500 feet to be delivered
within a year at price of $1.10 per
lineal foot. In the contract the city
| is protected against increase in price
of the 500 feet for future delivery
and at the same time gets adyan-
ltage OF the decrease in price should
the price on this grade of hose de-
cline.
City Health Officer Berry urged
the passage of an ordinance requir
ing property owners within a reas-
enable distance to connect with the
sewer. but no action was taken at
that time
The ordinances authorizing the
Issuance of bonds in the sum OF
$50, 900 for school purposes. $4,000
for sewer disposal plant and $10,-
900 for street improvement, were
| finally passed.
| Mayor Prince was authorized to
take charge of the bonds during
that period of investigation by the
attorney general and when finally
approved to deliver the same to the
city treasurer.
! Reports made showed the sanitary
fund in arrears and the secretary
was Instructed to notify the sanitary
commissioner to file complaint
against all who have failed to pay
sanitary dues for the year
Mayor Prince reported that a
committee from the Chamber OF
Commerce and from the commits
sioners' court had discussed the
"closed closet" situation at the court
house and asked for some definite
proposal from the council with re-
gard to water rental contract. The
matter was referred to the water
committee.
A request made by Mr.. Sallee that
ordinance prohibiting shooting gal
leries be repealed was granted.
There being no further business
to come before the body the council
adjourned.

the people are just as much entitled
TO comfort stations" as the officials
themselves are. lie proposed a mo-
tion that some action be taken look
ing towards settlement OF the dis
puted water rate" question.
W. A. Roberts proposed that a
petition be circulated among the
qualified voters of the city and
county for signatures TO be presented
to the commissioners court. asking
that relief be given the business men
o. the city He said as it stands to-
Gay the business men OF Waxahachie
are paving the water rents that the
county Justly owes and in addition
thereto are taxed to the limit to take
care of the comforts of the visiting
people. 1T is shame the county
is so short" said Roberts. the mer-
chants Of Waxahachie pay their full
share OF taxes and there is no need
for this added expense and worry.
s. p. Spalding said 1T is useless
to argue with bunch that have got
their heads set. II doesn't seem
like the people OF Ellis county own
the court house or have any voice in
county affairs. the commissioners,
the county judge and county auditor
seem to be the boys who aaye ac-
CURED a full and complete title to
tfat magnificent edifice, and most
OF them have their own private
comfort stations SO they should
worry"
II was stated by Judge G.. G. Groce
that he understood that the station
as maintained in court house had
been In the nature OF nuisance
and that effort ought to be made to
get the city and county to cooperate
in building new station with out
side connections.
Mr.. Roberts thought it n matter
which the county government ought
to take care of, while Robert Harri-
sen thought the city could cooperate
&c q good advantage.
1t was finally decided after other
speakers had expressed their t'senti-
ments" that a committee composed
or Robert Harrison, G.. G. Groce and
W. NJ. Mincey be named to go be-
fore the city council to discuss the
situation and get their views on the
ST biect, and further to ascertain
what the council would be willing to
do In the way of reduce water
rates.
