GREETING THE TOURIST.

Every day one sees an increasing
number of automobiles in Ottawa
bearing foreign license plates, IouF'
lists from the east, the north, the SCUM
and west have motored through lhh
CITY during the last two months,
bound on pleasure jaunts.
Naturally they take mental note OF
the community as they pass along.
Many OF them are surprised TO ma
that Ottawa is a city. Thousands OF
strangers associate the name only
with tribe of Indians. Thanks "a
better roads and automobiles, Ottawa
is beginning to be thought OF IN d
different light
There are many beauty spots IN the
community which might be visited u
these transcients could be persuaded
to spend the time. Play grounds
show residents, modern ONCE bulid
ines. schools and industrial plans arc
things which interest the stranger
but that which most impresaes the
visiting mntorist is efficient tram
rules and police courtesy.
In Spokane, Wash, when a transient
automobile drives into the city he IS
halted by a policeman. HIS ma uf"'
fear, through his ignorance OF Spa-
kane traffic regulations, are quickly
dispelled by the officer, who makes
this surprising statement:
pardon me for stopping YOU nut !
wanted to extend you welcome on
Behalf OF the city and suggest some
points OF interest you may care TO see
We want you to feel that you ae
among friends during your stay. Here
is little booklet describing motor
rides in this vicinity, and here Is !
copy of our traffic ordinances. t'lad
to give you any information that VIII
make your visit pleasant
This might not be practicable To-
Ottawa, but If the public would adopt
the principle contained in this police
mans speech in their dealings with
visitors, they would pass on with a
warm spot in their hearts for Ottawa,
And it is really more what n person
feels about city than what he thinks
that counts in the long run.

THRU TO Topeka
Express DOdgeS Kansas City
During Strike There.
Causes Much Work Here-Situ-
alton Eases Up Some.

In order to avoid difficulty and de-
lay during the switchmen's strike at
Kansas City, express is being shipped
Kansas City to Topeka, Hutchinson
Wichita, or Newton, according to e.
E. Brayman, manager of the American
Railway Express company.
AS an example of the roundabout
method, car load of strawberries was
shipped from Springfield to Wichita
on the Frisco and from Wichita TO To-
peka on the Rock Island.
While switching is impossible in the
Kansas City terminal, express cars
are being brought on thru and distrib-
uted from other points instead of be-
ing laid out at Kansas City. Some
switching has been done in Argentine.
Some of the roads into Kansas City
were unaffected by the disturbance
and have been able to do all necessary
switching in the terminal.
The method of handling necessary
express during the settlement of the
difficulty has meant considerable extra
work at Topeka As large shipments
are usually received here daily in one
car billed to Topeka, the addition of
two. three or more cars to be handled
from this point require a large amount
of extra work. The greatest conges-
ton is now over. however. Brayman
said. More sWltching is Delng nandled
daily in the Kansas City terminal.
Embargoes have all been lifted. he
says, except the embargo on New York
City. Express in or out of New York
City and Brooklyn is not being han
died.
During the disturbances standard
acceptances were received by express
offices according to the following or
der of priority: Government ship
ments. perishables Gncluding cream
and poultry, nursery stock. seeds.
drugs. surgical supplies, moving pic
ture films, caskets and funeral sup
