TIE PRICES RAISED.

Mr.. Adam Venters Of Regina, this
county, the well known cross tie mer
chant for the c. K o. and Pennsyl-

increase of three cents in the price OF
ties, the quotations now being 46 and
Sc stacked on the right of-way, and 4S
and 5S loaded on the car. Mr.. Venters
has spent two months at hard work
trying to secure a better price for the
producers of ties in the Sandy Valley,

nounced by telegram from Richmond.

settled definitely without the POSSIBLE

because all business is then democrat
lied. With the settlement of the sub
marine dispute he thinks the B. & o.
will begin its grade work on the route
to Shelby.

From the fact that the celebrated
Raweis Troupe of Native New Zealand
ers are to give their unique entertain
ment this evening in City hall, the fol-
lowing item taken from the Chicago
Examiner of Jan. IA will be of interest.
"Hine Talmoa Rawei is one Of COM
pany Of New Zealanders who are tour
ing American and appeared yesterday
before more than 1900 at the Cook
County Teachers Association.
when seen in her rooms yesterday
afternoon this brilliant woman was in
her native costume which she wears so
gracefully. In New Zealand, you know,
she said, the native women don't dress
absurdly and imagine they are fash
ionable. Another thing, they don't go
to clubs until they can't see straight
And you pamper your girls too
much said Nine. Rawei Let them
breathe. They won't get cold. Let
them get out and run. If you put
children on cushions at their ease, they
will have cushion muscles and cushion
brains. New Zealand children live out
Of doors all the time. Every native
child swims when babe. Why, there
was a little two year old baby girl
who fell into a well-and drowned
contrary to all precedents. The only
comment on the death Of this little girl
was: Why didn't the girl have sense
enough to swim
In the interior they still hold to the
good old practice Of throwing the chill
dren into the nearest river when they
want to punish them and when they
swim to shore throw them back again
and again until exhausted. Then they
put them to bed
And our native women all ride
horses-in any fashion-bareback or
any other way.'"-Adv.
