 The state will De pleased to note this promotion for the congressman who has served the third district for 14 years.
 Tilson is credited with having earned the enmity of the Horaback organization when he aided Colonel UlIman in the latter's breach of re- lations with the Big Chief. The Roraback organization is supposed to have some powerful influence in Washington; either such influence does not extend to the Republican organization in the House, or it helped to advance Thson there in an effort to modify his disappoint- ment over the senatorship.

u,RNETSS SPECULATION: THE CITY IN 50 YEARS

There is a story originated eE famed English writer, that some day in tha dim future civilized humans from the South Sea islands may ma the site Of London and un"ar'R

 but it is certain that if civilized
 visitors from the Rui-kui islands ar rive in town 5o years from no" ,nov will see a vastly different city
 from that existing here today
 The property at Main and Church
 streets occupied by the First Con-
 gregational church, today is held
 for $500 GOO or thcreabouts Re
 cont1v it was nearly sold. It won't
 take 50 years to see a large business
 hlork erected at the site; and It 1 won't take ntaIlS 'HoI iN'9
 other business blocks 10 take thel
 n}ace of older buildings near the

 This is to he expected, but the husincss community will expand as well as build up around the enVirons of inc Center. Here the possibilities f are comparatively limited compared
 with other possibilities downtown The railroad tracks cannot for ] oyar he a deterrent against the t run development Of Main north o'
