The securing oí the l'nited States Express company tor Ann Arbor, is another one oï the many benefits the motor rpad has brought to this city, despit Hs unfair treatment by the city. The Ann Arbor & Ypsilanti roafl proposed to bring between 800 and 400 people a day lo Ann Arbor, but the Main streel merehants rose uj and petitioned the coune.il to keep tiiem away. Ii the motor had been allowed to come to State street it would have been a great help, and loulil have injured no one. So the farmers are simt out becanse oí the extra iare down town, and they are disgusted ttt sut-h a dog-in-the-manger action. As a resiüt, all the farmers aloaig the line now do their trading In Ypeilanti, while the people of that neigliboring city, who had beuun to come here to trade are now practically shut out, and Ettay at home. To be consistent, the merchants should rise up and try to shut out the exprese company froui coming in. Probably if some persou would tstart a petltion the rest would all sift-n it. Now is the chance for the kirker to liurt bis lown again.
