by w. B. Kirkland, assistant super
intendent of the Rio Grande division
who represented the company at the
hearing ( that this would mean a
saving of $25 month in the pay
of the one in charge and he in
sisted that it would give a service
adequate to the business at that
point.
Among the people from Kelton
present to urge the retention of an
agent at that point was Frank Moore,
stockman, who insisted that it
was the duty Of the company to
continue the service CT an agent.
t. j. Leeson, president Oh the Nc
Neal Mercantile company, was the
leader of the opposition to the peti-
ton to change the policy from an
agent to a caretaker for McNeal.
He declared it his belief that the
patronage was sufficient to warrant
the retention of the present policy
there. He urged, too, that &c
promise was for growth in the
business at the station.
Following the hearing Of the wit
nesses and the statement Of the rail
road company's position by the as
sistant superintendent, the matter was
taken under advisement for finding.

strosity that is erected in such a
place. A lot OF dyed shingles
gone dementia praecox. Maybe
they make 'em that way on the
principle that, after one glimpse
of the agents office, they can
sell you anything before you re.

Be that as it may, there's one
man whom I'd like to crown with
leis. He has discovered that it Is
not necessary for architects to
take hasheesh before designing
real estate offices. / don't know
who he is but he Is leaving a
lovely record of small mission
adobes with barred windows and
red-tiled roofs amongst the live
oaks and beside the turquoise
waters of California. May Allah
reward him!
