INTEREST GROWS
IN ORGANIZATION
Property Owners, Businessmen
and Residents Booming Up
town Merchant's Association
Interest In the formation of an Up
town Merchants' Association is in
creasing on all sides, as the business
men, property owners and residents |
<n that section of the city learn just
What the organization proposed will
mean to the welfare of the district.
Tlie new method of street lighting
advocated and promised for North
Third street, between North and Reily
streets, has been a long felt want and
when accomplished will be the first
big step toward the improvements in
Ihe uptown district which it should
have, according to men residing in
that section.
The association when formed will
investigate conditions thoroughly in
the vicinity, so that the members can
understand what is most needed for
the benefit of the people.
The placing of street standards in
Third street, when completed will re
place the former system of arc lights.
Other sections needing Improved
lighting will be looked up later, it is
understood.
Want Better Car Service
Car service for residents in the dis
trict will be another matter which the
members of the temporary organiza
tion are j already discussing. Others
not members at present, also are in
teresting themselves in this move. Car I
service both north and south in Thlr#l I
street, will be advocated in order to
accommodate the people in that dis
trict. At present the Third street |
cars, after reaching North street, turn
up and go uptown in Capitol and
Fourth streets.
Residents in the uptown district, in
many instances, must either ride to
Seneca street, and back again, or
walk from Fourth street, down to
their homes.
Co-operative advertising already
being used by the businessmen, is
bringing fine results, showing the in
terest manifested In the entire ptan.
Suggestions are being made dally, and
/will be considered carefully berore
any action is taken.
The new organization will be form
ed in all probability during January
of the new year, according to plans
being completed by present mem
bers of the temporary association.
Enthusiasm is running high in the
proposition, because it is thought that
an active co-operating body of busi
nessmen in the district affected can
accomplish more than personal efforts
of a few persons.

| Weather Man at Work \
*- *
The professional humorist hard
pressed for material can generally get;
off an old one at the expense of the
weather man. Maybe that is why
there is a general impression abroad
that weather forecasts are unreliable.
They are not —they are remarkably
accurate, as a mater of fact, and they
are followed implicitly by thousands
of big men in scores of big industries.
Warnings displayed for a single hur
ricane have detained in port vessels
and cargoes valued at $30,000,000.
That hurricane transpired as predicted,
too. and a number of those ships would
probably have found port on the bot
lom but for the vigilance of Uncle
Sam. Such service is of Inestimable
value, not only at sea, but on land.
One warning of an approaching cold
wave Is known to have saved
$3,000,000 worth of property from in
jury and destruction. Warnings of
frost and freezing weather are fol
lowed with closest interest by fruit
and vegetable growers. The daily
weather forecast is mailed to 135,000
Addresses and 4,000,000 telephone sub
scribers learn its contents daily over
the wire. ,
The picture shows the observation
tower at the Weather Bureau's central
office, one of the 3,500 similar towers
that spy on wind and cloud all over
the country, and with the 2,000 ma
rine stations on shipboard furnish the
great mass of data on which the ex-
Xierts of the bureau base their fore
cast. These forecasts are borne out.
by the next day's weather whenever
the areas of rain and wldd, of high
and low barometer, follow their ordi
nary paths, which they do about four
times out of five. The fifth time some
capricious frost or windstorm follows
an unreasonable course of its own, and
then the bureau is wrong. But the
experts always win as long as the
weather plays the game according to
the rules.
If you would like to know all the
interesting things about the govern
ment, yould should read the two great
patriotic books, "The Amor!can Gov
ernment" and "The Panama Canal."
