firm is a young man and has been a
dry goods travelling salesman for the
past ten years. His headquarters
have beea in Denver from which
point he worked out thru all of this
territory for the Ferguson.McKinney
company Perhaps there has not been
a more popular travelling man on the
road In Colorado than Mr.. Lear. both
with his fellow travelling men and the
retail trade. This impression is
gained from the many complimentary
remarks made by travelling men who
have been in Canon since they heard
OF Mr.. Lear's intentions.
Previous TO going on the road Mr..
Lear had experience in the retail
business himself and thus Is well ac-
ouainted with both ends OF the game.
The new firm will be remarkably
well balanced. Mr.. Dun, through in
defatigable energy and hard work has
built up a splendid retail trade. He
is well and favorabiy known in Canon
City and vicinity and enjoys a large
patronage among the people The
trade title. The Store Accommodat.
ing" grew out of the fact that prompt
service. courteous treatment. and the
right goods were always to be found
81 Dun and Moyles.
Mr.. Lear will add remarkable
strength TO the Arm because he is so
well acquainted with the Wholesale
markets and knows how TO 20 after
and to get the best merchandise and
the best values from the wholesaler.

RED OAK talks
Of NEW SCHOOL
CONSIDERING PUTTING A $115,000
BOND ISSUE UP BEFORE
THE VOTERS.

Red Oak, March %. Petitions were
circulated among the voters of Red
Oak school district and 1865 signatures
secured calling for a special election
on the proposition of bonding the dis
trict for $l150O0 for the purpose OF
procuring site on which to build and
equip new school building. Nearly
twice as many names as were required
We're secured. Twenty-Five per cent Of
the 1856 votes cast at the last school
election being eight-nine votes, the per
cent necessary in order to call the
special election.
The date on which the election will
be held has not yet been decided upon
but 1t will probably be several weeks
before the question Of whether or not
the bonds will be issued Is brought to q
vote. The members of the school
board are apparently in no hurry to
bring on the election with any undue
haste, preferring rather to give ample
time for all those interested to talk the
matter over among themselves and
formulate plans whereby the present
needs of the district for more room for
the pupils who are attending the
schools may be met The school board
is already in correspondence with arch
fleets, one of whom will be employed
to make plans for the new building.
These plans will be accepted only In
case the bonds carry at the special
election. .A g..s.

RULING ON ACTION
AFFECTS COMPANIES

Nevada, March 28.-The case of
William Mathews vs.. c. E. Looking.
bill ct al was recently decided by
Judge Mccall Of this district in favor
Of the plaintiff and ruling was made
that will effect every light company
within the state which transmits cleo.
tricity to other cities from one cen
trail plant.
The case originally started over
the trimming Of some of Mr.. Mathews
willows by light company which
had line between Nevada and Max
well. and for which he asked damages.
Before the case had progressed very
far the question arose as to whether
the present law on allowing transmits
Aion lines to operate over highways
was constitutional.
The court, after considerable time,
held the law unconstitutional.
Attorneys for the light company
have signtfied their intention of i'm
mediately appealing to the supreme
court and If the lower court is con-
firmed the state legislature will be ap-
pealed to as 1t would be possible under
present status to enjoin all light com.
panies from using the highways.

CLINTON TO HAVE
NEW UNION |. DEPOT
ONE OF FINEST STATIONS IN
STATE is BEING PLANNED
FOR CITY. .,

Clinton, March 2S.-Definite plans
assuring the construction of one OF
the largest union stations in the state
in Clinton by the four leading rail
roads running through here were for
warded to local officials by Architect
Charles s. Frost.
The four railroads which will unite
in the construction of the station are:
Chicago & Northwestern Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul; Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy, and Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific.
For over five years Clinton organi.
cations have been directing their ef-
forts at the headquarters of these rail-
roads to try to secure cooperation for
the construction of this station, and 1t
is largely through the work of the
Clinton Commercial club that the
project was finally carried through,
The station will probably be erected
on the river front. south of the main
business district of the city. No an
nouncemenr has been made as to the
cost or the exact date when work
will be started.
