NortonS Notes.

Fine weather at present, and we
all enjoy it.
Mrs. A. L. Porter, of Sugarloaf,
Polk county, is visiting her sister,
Mrs. H. S. Porter, of this place.
Oscar Budd and family have
moved into the residence of A.. L.
Porter, where he will stay until he
gets a house built on his ranch.
Lloyd Sherk went to Salem last
Saturday, to attend school. His
brother Earl is teaching at that
place.
Born.-To the wife of Oscar
Fanno, at Sugarloaf, Polk county,
on January 1st, twin boys, at least
this is what dame rumor reports.
Our merchant, Mrs. Branscombe,
is busy selling out her store at cost,
and will start next week for British
Columbia, where she will make her
future home. We are sorry to
lose such a good neighbor and
merchant.
TIL. dances Christmas and New
Years nights at the residence of
MI. and Mrs. H. S. Porters was
attended. Polk and Benton counties
were well represented. There was
about forty couple present Christ
mas night and about twenty-five
New Years. All report a first
class time.
A. K. Sherk, our postmaster, is
busy getting out fencing to ieuce
his place. He had the misfortune
to lose about eleven acres OF pota-
toes by the recent cold weather, in
Marion county.
There will be a dance at Mr. and
Mrs. H. S. Porter's on February
IL. Mrs Porter will furnish the
supper and Mr.. and Mrs. Mart.
Glass, of Big Elk, will furnish the
music. This will insure everybody
that attend a frst-class time. All
are invited that like to trip the
light fantastic.
Dear editor, we scribe believes in
reform, and believes in everything
selling for what it is worth. If you
will have the county court cut the
price Of marriage license down to
one dollar it would be a good thing,
as 1 think there would be several
marriages around here and then
there would be something to write
about.

The importance OF Devonport as a

eclipse any work of the kind previously
undertaken, and will convert Devon

PUBLIC PLAYGROUND2

As In City.

They Are Needed In Country a. Well
As In City.
Among the many plans which have
been suggested in England for COM
memOrating wOrthily the sixtieth ami
versary of the coronation Of Queen Vic
tOris in June next. none seems to find
more favor than the proposition for a
concerted movement for setting aside
plots of ground or places of historic in
teresu to be dedicated TO the common
Use and enjoyment of the people.
1t is pointed out that this is a plaL
which will give the people of each town
and county personal interest In the
celebration, while it Will give them also
the feeling that they are sharing in Il
great national movement. Should this
plan be adopted, hundreds Of Queen
Victoria" gardens parks. Fairgrounds
and fields, dotted over the Kingdom,
may express the popular appreciation
of Queen VictOria's benericent reign.
and at the same time confer a great and
lasting benefit upon the people.
They have been slower in England
than we in this country To recognize the
advantages OF public Fairgrounds. The
establishment OF parks and gardens
and recrea tion-places for the public use
is no new thing with us. The move
ment i'll that d .rection is increasing, and
many of our chief cities vie with each
other In the extent and beauty or their
park systems.
There are one or two errors which
should be guarded against, however.
For one thing. places set apart for the
public use should not be too good TO
play in. Neat paths. closely trimmed
sods and signs OF Keep OF the grass"
do not meet the need. These are all
well. but somewhere in the park there
should be grass which one can stretch
out upon. and ground that the boys can
trample over.
Another mistake is that communities
do not begin soon enough to set aside
land for commons and pubiIc grounds.
They wait until the pressure Of popula-
ton makes breathing spaces absolutely
essential to the general health. BY that
time land commands large price, and
the difficulty OF securing enough for it
within easy reach OF the people Is con.
siderable.
Fairgrounds. too, are needed in the
country as we'll as in cities 1t is often
assumed in the country that boys and
girls have all outdoors in W hich to play,

these gases do pass ahead Of the pro-
jectile they score and damage the istAr-
Tor Of the gun; and. where the new
powders are used and the gases Of

Of heat, the process of deterioration,
especially In weapons Of large ca.ibre,-
is often very rapid. A Swedish engi-
neer, w. r. Unge, has devised meth.
cd whereby he hopes to save, not only
the cost Of rifing. but also the inter-

all guns as smooth beres. and to it the

render 1t practically impossible for any
gases to rush past them.
In order TO convey to the protectflA
an axial rotary motion, such as is at
present conveyed to 1t by the action Of
the rifling, he has invented a mechani-
cal arrangement, which, at the instant

opinion that the adoption of his system,
while giving equal or even improved
