After talking to you I told some
New York bankers that 1 would not

more permanent arrangement, but
can I feel sure fix this when I get

YOU think so do IL. I Of course know
Alfred has some Interior motive In

Beginning Monday, October 2nd, 1916, we will close our place of busi- ness at o'clock p. m., except on Sat urdays.

HOW THE KANSAS GOV. ERNOR GOT HIS
 FIRST JOB.

Almost everyone has heard of Arthur Capper, governor of Kansas and publisher of a string of papers. In addition to being a good governor and a good publisher, MT. Capper is one of the leading prohibi- ton cranks of the nation, so it will be news to his best friends that he owed his first job to the saloons.
 No, he was never a barten- der, but when he first went to Topeka there were 50 or 60 saloons in that city, the jails were filled most of the time, and the Daily Capital rarely had enough men to do its work the day after pay day. MT. Capper hit the Cap ital foreman for job one morning when a number
 his printers were absent, So- bering up. The foreman was willing to take anyone, expe- rienced or not, so he took Capper, little knowing that he was hiring the future gover- nor of the state and one of the nations best known publish CTS.
 |'When 1 went to Topeka the men in my trade never had anything except trouble, unpaid bills, and headaches, '" says the governor. "Now the majority of the printers own their homes; many have mo- tor cars. A few weeks ago a printer in the Daily Capital plant received a check for S1O,OOO from the Aetna Building & Loan Association, in which he had invested his savings.
 "The same thing shows in all Kansas business. More than 4OOO men are employed in the Santa Fe railroad shops at Topeka. MT. c. w. Nouns, the general manager, recent ly said that these men turn out more work, consistently and promptly the year round, than the same number of men in any other railroad shops.

YUMA NEXT-MAYBE!

Yuma has waited long and
 long and patiently for a new
 patiently for a new depot and
 provision was made once for
 it in the finances of the
 Southern Pacific, but not
 having been brought to a head that year the cash set aside reverted automati-
 cally back into the general
 fund of the company and Yu- still needs a modern depot. But the company is making much progress elsewhere as shown by the bureau of news, the publicity branch of the system, and it is interest ing.
 To replace equipment va cated during the last fiscal year and to provide for in- creased requirements, the Southern Pacific Company has placed orders for 28 loco- motives, 50 passenger cars and 42O4 freight cars, the part of which is to be delivered during the last half of 1916, according to the an- nual report of the Southern Pacific Company June 30, 1916, just made public. The report shows that the railroad has also ordered two ocean going freight steamers and one tank steamer to be deliv- cred in August and Septem- Der of 1917 and for use on the Atlantic System.
 A list of the important buildings and the important structures completed during the year or in course of con- struction includes new pas senger stations at Modesto, Turlock, Vicalia and Rich Cal, Globe, Ariz., Rayne, La., Mexia, Tex; com oination freight and passen- ger stations at Garibaldi, Ore, Webster, Ariz., Carpenter, Cleveland, Iago, Melbourne and Van Week, Tex, and others under construction at Earlimart and Gerber, Cal. At Truckee, the remodeling of ;he hotel including the con- ,truction of an addition of ten rooms has been complet- ed and at Fresno the remod-I cling of the passenger station $ progressing.
