The following letters were received
by L. P. Baker, secretary of the Com-
mercial club:.
One from H. E. Taylor of Kansas
City, asking what inducements would
be offered to secure an up-to-date
electric light plant.
One letter from Harbor Beach,
Michigan, wanting location for the
sale of automobiles and supplies.
Another letter from Duke M. Far-
son, of Chicago, wanting to purchase
Ralston municipal bonds, and by the
way, Ralston voted a tax levy to pay
all outstanding indebtedness, and this
means that Ralston bonds, if there
were any for sale, would be worth one
hundred cents on the dollar.
The most important letter comes
from Frank E. Baldwin, of Boston,
asking what inducements our people
could offer for the location of a cot-
ton mill at this point. This enter-
prise would employ five hundred men
or more, and the product from this
industry would find a ready market,
both north and south.
Mr. Baker is compiling some in-
formation and expects to gather facts
that will enable him to interest the
parties in the east in regard to the
proposition.

A GOOD snow.
Millis & Jennings Dramatic com-
pany gave three entertainments here
this week, Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday nights. This is one of the best
shows that has visited our town for
some time, and those who failed to
see it missed something good. Here
is what the mayor of Kaw City has to
say about these people:
"The Millis & Jennings Dramatic
Co. gave three entertainments in this
town and they were not only good but
A No. 1, and a nice, clean, up-to-date
show, and will undoubtedly give satis-
faction."
