CHANDlSE HARD TO GET.
WHOLE COUNTRY IS PROSPEROUS

Mayor w. d. Symmes, who went
east short time ago with A. William
son on buying trip for the Power
Mercantile company, is home. He
spent four days in New York and two
in Chicago, getting back as quickly
as possible. He found New York full
OF buyers, all clamorous for desirable
merchandise, and he also found prices
very high. The buyers realized this
fully, but there is no help for 1.-THE
prices must be paid if the goods are
to be had and even then it is not an
easy task to get just what is wanted.
Country Prosperous.
THE country Is prosperous" NO
doubt of that" said Mr.. Symmes yes
terday. Taking it as a whole, it is
looking fairly good in an agricultural
way, although there are some very
dry sections this year. There is
plenty of work, wages average high
and there is a keen demand for manu-
factured products. These facts have
created a prosperous condition that
is general everywhere"
Mayor Symmes was not here for
the bond election but he was pleased
with the result although he never
made the slightest effort to influence
anyone in regard to the park PROPOSE
tion, being quite willing to accept the
decision of the taxpyers, whatever
1t might be.

its trustees, for the purchase OF the
fine property on Fifth avenue, ad
joining the telephone building and ex
tending to Broadway, the object being
to erect upon it in time q handsome

lated considerable sum, which was
out at bank interest. when the rep
resentative OF the owner Of this lot,
which has frontage Of As feet on
Fifth avenue by 100 on Broadway,
submitted an offer which made this
a rare bargain, the property really
being offered at not much more than
half what it is considered to be it's
real value 1t had to be closed up
Immediately, however, and the Elks
quickly decided to avail themselves
of this exceptional opportunity. They
quickly secured the lot upon very
easy terms and the lodge now
owns it.
AS stated, the idea OF the trustees
is to utilize this site for an Elks
building, but it will unquestionably
prove an excellent investment even
though it should not be devoted 70
that purpose.

the violent fighting in which they have

Attacking in echelon on three
mile line from the Meuse river tc
Fleury, north of Verdun, the French
have captured several German

were made prisoners and 10 machine
