Ders for Correct COrre-

The coquille paper, which has an
egg shell finish, is now much in de-
mand. The majority of the tinted
papers at present are made with Il
very narrow white border, both the
oblong and the square envelope are
used An envelope novelty which
promises to be favorite is oblong in
shape,with the flap extending dag
onally across the back of the envelope,
and the point instead of being in the
center as usual is at the extreme left
hand corner, says the Detroit Free
Press.
Deep-tinted papers with the eXcep-
tion Of the new fad of khaki, are sell
dom used by the women of refine
ment. The pale tints are the fashion
of the moment, Delicate heliotrope,
pistachio green, pale o.ue and faint
gray are all in favor.
Monograms and crests are smaller
than they were at the beginning of
the winter, and are invariably inside a
circle.

correct thing never perfumes her note

The following personal" which ap-
peared IN the columns of daily paper
o few days ago attracted almost as
much attention as the war news from
China. Many thought it was a joke,
but 1t was no joke, The young man
who inserted the 'ad." believes every

From ali of this it may be inferred
that young Mr.. Savary is not likely

HAS TO USE A HORSE.
The Amusing Experience OF Rookie"
feIIer With the New Tangled
Auto.

William Rockefeller is the latest mil
lionaire to be propelled from his au-
tomobile at . rapid rate of speed and
to be landed in the mud after startling
flight through the air.
The incident happened in Greenwich,
Conn. The oil king went there from
his home in Tarrytown with Mrs.
Rockefeller aud young woman friend.
Heretofore he had been accom- panied
on all his trips by man who knew
how to work the automobile, but on
this occasion he seemed determined
to show the public that he knew how
to rum the machine.
Apparently he handled the lever re-
markaoI well, but there was a set
look around his mouth that caused ex-
pcrts to suspect that he was not as
much at his ease as he appeared to be.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure
of the ride until the party reached
Mr. RockefcIler's farm at Greenwich.
Then things happened fast enough TO
make up for lost time,
1t seems that so long a time elapsed
after Mr.. Rockefeller left Tarrytown
that he forgot altogether how to stop
The machine. Instead of bringing it
10 standstill he turned on the revers-
ing gear, The machine shot backward
at lightning speed until it reached a
brick wall. when it stopped short, a
bad,wreck.
The ground was covered with wheels
and the various things appertaining to
an automobiles iusides. Fortunately,
none of the party was hurt.
Mr.. Rockefeller, holding bravely onto
broken handle, found himself sitting
In the road, wondering whether or not
the proper procedure was to smile,
Then he arose and limped to farm
house, where he borrowed a horse and
carriage and drove his party home.

KANSAS TO HAVE A NEW LAKE
II VIII He Located on a Great Prairie
and Fed by the Arkansas
River.

A big inland lake out on the prairies
of western Kansas will soon be a real
ity. Kansas City capitalists, headed
by A. Il. Stilwell, have gone behind
the Barton county lake scheme and
are pushing the preliminary work on
it rapidly, says the Kansas City Jour-
nal.
In Barton county, about eight miles
north of Great Bend, is a natural basin
~ miles long and six miles wide. Only
one draw leads out of it, and that is
only $50 feet wide. Damming this will
make the basin lake. The land in the
basin is worthless for farming pur-
poses. 1t is gumbo, and the only thing
that will grow on it is salt grass. Some
years ago f. b. Koen, a rich ranchman
of Colorado and an expert ditchman,
conceived the idea of transforming the
salt grass basin into a big lake. He or
ganized what is known as the Lake
Koen Navigation, Reservoir and Irriga-
tion company, with capital of $780,
600. He did not anticipate that he
would have any difficulty in getting
hold of the worthless land in the basin,
so before acquiring il he built a big
ditch, 40 feet wide and IA miles long,
connecting the Arkansas river with the
basin.
About the time he completed the
ditch some landsharks came along and
settled on some of the land in the basin.
They knew they could not raise any
thing, but figured on holding koen up
for lot OF money because h could not
food their land. He refused 20 be held
up, and at the last session of the legis-
lature he got bill through giving
ditch and lake companies the right to
condemn and take land The same as
railroads do. Acting under this law,
his company recently applied TO the
district judge and got three appraisers
appointed to condemn the land in the
basin. The appraisers are ID. w. Lin
der, c. L. Montgomery and Fred
Moorse, all farmers of Barton county.
4 couple of engineers are assisting
them. As soon as they report the COM
pany will pay the awards and begin
work on the lake
The scheme was recently laid before
Mr.. Stilwell and some Kansas City cap
italsts and they will finance the com
pany They have already advanced
about $4,000 to pay for the land. 1t is
estimated that it will take 100000 to
make the improvements contemplated.
The big ditch leading from the .Nrkan-
sas to the lake will be widened and
deepened. Three irrigation bitches
win be built leading from the lake. II
is proposed to furnish water to irligate
all the land in that section of the coun-
try east of the basin. One ditch will
be cut southeast to Cow creek. That
stream will be used as canal for sew.
eral miles. 1t will be damned in Rice
county and subditchess will extend
from there over that county and into
Mcpherson. The southern irrigation
canal will leave the lake at the same
| place as the central and will parallel
the Arkansas river for about as miles
emptying back into the river Just west
| of Hutchinson. The northern cana
will run east through Ellsworth
county.
Aside from its use as a source of irri
cation supply, the lake will be made ;

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
For l6 to L.

The democrats of Arizona in
convention assembled indorse the
platform adopted in Kansas City
as the best presentation ofAmerican
democracy ever presented to the
American people. We also en-
dorse the nominees of that con-
veution, w. j. Bryan and Adlai E.
Stevenson as being an embodiment
of the platform itself. We oppose
imperialism and affirm that the
flag and tho constitution are in
separable in all American territory.
We are opposed to trusts and ag-
grcgation Of capital having for its
object cnr,ailment of the field of
labor; the destruction of individual
opportunity for the benefit of the
millioparies and billionaries. We
are strongly in favor Of statehood
for Arizona and pledge our party
to all honorable means TO secure
the same. We believe in bi.metal,
ism, the free coinage of silver at
the legal ratio of l6 to !. We be-
lieve in graded income tax,
which places the burden OF taxa
tion equally upon the rich and the
poor.
In territorial matters we favor
strict economy IN both territorial
and county affairs.
The law which compels a voter
TO pay his poll tax before registra
tion is iuiquitous and unjust, be
cause it places money conSdera
ton between the voter and hI'
ballot and should be repealed.
We pledge of representatives tC
the repeal of this iniquitous law.
Indians beng wards of tho gov
ernment we favor such change il
the laws as will impose the ex
pense of their prosecution fol
crime upon the general govern
ment and not in any case upon the
counties of the territory.
1t is the duty of the gensra
government to provide homes I'll
its citizens. An appropriation .
s25,000,000 to provide storage res
ervoirs IN the arid regions Of m.
west would provide homes i"l
fifteen million people and max,
arizona great and prosperou
commonwealth.
The railroads of this territory
are mortgaged from TWEEN y
forty thousand dollars per N
and paying the interest on sue
bonded Indebtedness. They ar
assessed at from s9 500 to IS, 90,
per mile,
ALI property should be assesse,
according to its cash valuation
Rich corporations should not es
cape the burdens which properI'
belong to them.
To all those who believe In tb
Declaration of Independence, Il
the Monroe Dactrine and tn
teachings of the fathers, we ex
tend welcome TO unite with us il
the support of the doctrines 70
which Bryan aud Stevenson stan
and which are fully set forth i
the Kansas City platform.
Respectfully submitted by th
committee, Wiley Il. JONES,
Chairman.
