WELCOME TO ENGLISH VISITORS.

There was a time when the announcement that the British Are Coming" would have been the signal for some alarm anywhere in the United States. But that time has been buried deeply by the peace of almost a century and a quarter by many reciprocal acts of national friendship, by an understanding grown clearer through the years that have led at last to a conviction wenigh universal in the United States and Great Britain that between the English speak ing nations of the world there no serious differences such as might lead to it's threats.
 England and the United States are of com mon heritage. near kinsmen in all that the term implies. In the last great conflict, they fought shoulder to shoulder, in cause for the preservation of the worlds Democracy Today they work together to prevent the occurrences of such catastrophes, for the advancement of civ- ilization to that point where it will be possible to avoid all

$65,OOO in new HEAVY STEEL
BETWEEN APACHE and LEE WILL
BE LAID AT ONCE BY THE S P.

Six and three tenths miles of heav-
ier steel will be laid on the Southern
Pacific railway line between Apache
and Lee stations under the supervision
Of j. E. Johnston, roadmaster for the
division, of Douglas. The work will
be started just as soon as the steel
arrives and the information at the
local railway offices is that it is now
in transit. 1t is forecasted that it
will take the work train crew about
three months to lay the steel and
that there will be almost as much
more work in reballasting and placing
new ties where they are needed, so
that the completion of the work will
require between five and six months.
When the steel has been placed in
this strip, it will complete the work of
placing heavy steel on this division.
This labor is one of patchwork ma
ture as it is filling in sections that
have not already been fitted with the
heavy rails. The weights used will
be ITO pounds for the straight track
and 100 pounds for the rails used on
curves. On the basis of all straight
line weight, it will require approx
mately 1920 tons Of rails to complete
this work and calculating that upon
the price of steel rails as $45 the
ton, it will represent an investment
for the rails alone of $65,000.
1t is understood that the work train
will operate out of Douglas and carry
the workmen back and forth night
and morning during the time that the
work is in progress.

Due TO CHANGE

Following the request for some
additional changes to his plans by the
men interested in the community
hotel which will be built this year
by Douglas, Carleton Monroe Wins
low, the architect, advised E. w.
Graves that he would defer the visit
he had otherwise planned TO make
here this week until the last of the
week or the early part of next week
When he comes, he stated in the
letter. ne will have the plans de-
veloped and ready to submit to the
contractors for bids.
OF course. after the plans are
brought to the city now, it is pos
sible that there may be tome minor
changes, just as there frequently are
changes made in plans after build
ing has been started, but when the
architect arrives in Douglas within
the next ten days, it is regarded as
certain that the plans he brings
will offer correct picture OF what
may be expected in the completed
structure.
