Az Open To the Editor:-I wish
Letter to say word in regard
to two articles signed "a. A. r."
which appeared in the columns Of
The MIRROR recently. The first
was entitled "The Woman Heart
and the second Gratis of Indian
Character" AS both we're signed
ga. A. r." I presume both were
written by the same person. Both
are copied verbatim from Wash
ington Irving's Sketch Book"
volume number 1921 of our library.
The first Of the two articles men
toned can be found on page 70,
under the caption ''The Broken
Heart The second appears on
page u.s., and bears the same title
"a. A. r." used.
| appreciate "A. A. RS" ambi-
ton to become q writer, but bid
him watch out for the bookworm.
G. Mel.
NOTE-The foregoing information is correct.
The two articlesin question were stolen outright.
Needless to say "A. A. r" win contribute no
more to The MIRRoR.-ED.

dreamedI dwelt in marble halls,
The doors were made of gold,
From silver goblets drank my wine,
Like kings in days of old.
Just then the roundsman passed my cell,
And flashed his light within;
My gold was steel, my marble, stone,
My silver goblets, tin.

Chance in Mail Service.

The postofice department has issued
~ order for a twice a day mail service
here and the new service superseded the
old last Tuesday. July 1. The mail now
leaves Peck mornings and evenings. Be.
fare this order was made the mail was
sent out every afternoon and was carried
no the line, where it remained over night
thus delaying outside mail for several
hours. The new service will give better
satisfaction. There has also been an i'm.

Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays oil

Topographic Survey Of Washing ton.

Work ON the topographic survey of the
State Of Washington was recently re.
sunled by the United States Geological
Survey. A party was organized at Spo.
kane about July I. by Mr.. Geo. T. Haw-
kins. to extend existing triangulation in
the vicinity of Spokane southwark to
cover the territory between lati-
tude as degrees AZ degrees 80
minutes and longitude III degrees III
degrees 80 minutes. This triangulation
preliminary to the detailed mapping
OF the above territory, which includes
portions of Whitman. Asotin and Gar
field counties, Washington, and Latah,
and Nee Perez counties, Idaho. In.
cluded within the area are the towns of
Colfax and Asotin in Washington and
Moscow and Lewiston in Idaho. 1t is
expected that the triangulation will soon
be followed by the topographic mapping,
the results of which, when completed,
will be issued in the form of three map
sheets, each representing a quadrangle,
or 80 minutes of latitude and 80 of longi-
tude.

Rem0deIed Station OF the Northwest
ern Opened for the Use OF the
travelling Public.
IMPROVEMENTS ONLY TEMPORARY
Present Work to be Used Only as Make
shift and New Station to be Erected
Later.-S25,OOO Spent.

The remode1ed station of the North
western Railway company was thrown
open for the use of the travelling pub
lie Sunday morning and while some
work is still to be done by the steam
filters at the station the work is now
practically completed. The company
has spent more than SIS 900 in improv-
ing the station and with the compile
ton of the work it is stated that the
improvements will be only temporary
as the company will build a new sta
tiou in Kenosha within the next two
or three years.
The improvements have made the
station suitable one for the present
in Kenosha. All the old board plat
forms about the station have been re-
placed with more substantial ones of
vitrifed brick, the West side of the
tracks has been improved by the con
struction of a new waiting room which
will serve for use of passengers going
Northward and also for passengers
waiting for trains on the Western di.
vision of the road. All the rooms on
both sides of the track will be heated
by steam when the water is turned in.
to the pipes tomorrow. One of the
biggest improvements is the tunnel
under the tracks. This is built for the
benefit Eof the passengers who are
forced tosalight on the West side of the
track. This tunnel connects with the
main station on the East and makes il
possible forlthe people to walk from
the West platform to the main station
without lgetting exposed to the ele.
ments.
The tunnel proved to be one of the
heaviest expenses in the repair of the
station. In the early spring the com
pany will further improve the grounds
about the station by building a paved
driveway to the West of the present
platforms SO as to make it possible for
the cabmen to meet all trains, both
from the South and North.
Kenosha is now rated by the North
western company as the most impor-
tant point for the company between
Milwaukee and Chicago and it is prob
able that all the money expended in
Kenosna will be more than repaid to
the company in a single year.
The plans for the further improve
ment of the grounds about the Keno
sha station and for the repair of the
freight depot are now IN the hands of
the division superintendent and it is
probable that this work will be done as
soon as the weather will permit.

ASKS A FRANCHISE.
Alexander Clark Asks the Waukegan
Council to Grant a Franchise
for Connecting Line.
RIGHT OF WAY IS SECURED.
Alexander Clark and the Chicago and
Milwaukee Company Said to Be Be-
hind the Proposed Venture.

The various plans for the building
of the electric line to fill up the gap be-
tween Kenosha and Waukegan will
take definite form this evening when
the Waukegan & North Shore Railway
company and the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Railway company will file an ordi-
nance with the city council of Wauke-
gan asking for the right to construct
an electric line through the city Of
Waukegan along the flats to the east
of the North Western line.
The franchise will ask no rights to
run a line into the business section of
the city of Waukegan but it will show
clearly that it is planned as through
line to connect the two cities. Alex
ander Clark is behind the ordinance
and it is claimed that he will attempt
to crystalize in this franchise the many
schemes formed during the past year
and half to connect the two cities.
While Mr.. Clark is taking the in
itiative in the matter it is claimed that
the Chicago and Milwaukee electric
line is practically behind the project,
and that if the franchise is granted it
will eventually take charge of the
rights. The franchise ordinance as
framed will ask for the right to carry
both freight and passengers and it is
held that it will be competing freight
line to the North Western steam rail
way.
1t is stated that the route of the road
south of Waukegan will be to run
along the flats as far as Nor h Chicago
when it will be carried over to the
bluffs and be merged into the line now
owned by the Chicago and Milwaukee
company.
1t is claimed that routes for the road
have been surveyed to the northward
as far as the limits of Kenosha and
several days ago the proposed route
was laid out through the Van Ingen
property south of the city. The route
was selected by Mr.. VanIngen and it
is the shortest possible route through.
the property.
The company may find hard fight
on its hands in the city of Waukegan
and it is possible that for some time to
come Waukegan may block the com
pletion of the road as Kenosha has
done in years past. The people Of the
Illinois city are now having a hard
fight with the Chicago and Milwaukee
company and it is possible that its con-
nection with the new line will make
the getting of franchise a hard mat
ter.
It has always been held. as an open
secret that the relations between B. j.
Arnold, who owns the Kenosha line,
and the Chicago and Milwaukee COM
pany were of most cordial nature and
it is possible that Mr.. Arnold will unite
with the company in the completion
of the project. Mr.. Clark claims to
have secured the right of way for the
road as far north as Zion City and
nearly all the rest of the route can be
easily secured.

CITY GAINS BY ERROR.
Rejecting of the Tax Lists Discloses an
Error of $4,000 In the City's Favor.

Rejecting of the Tax Lists Discloses an
Error of $4,000 In the City's Favor.
By an error on the part of some
member of the force of assessors en-
ployed at the last assessment it is
discovered today that the city has
$4,000 more in assessed property than
was formerly supposed and the tax col
lected on this amount will add nearly a
hundred dollars to the income of the
city for the coming year.
The error was discovered by City
Clerk Jacobs when he made the final
footing of the assessment rolls this
morning and the amount was promptly
added to the tax roll.
The warrant for the taxes was signed
by Mayo Pfennig this morning order
ing the city treasurer to collect the
sum of sS110, 321.oo from the taxable
property of the city. All the books
will be turned over to the treasurer to.
day and she will probably be ready to
begin the collection of taxes by next
Monday morning. Last year the COL
lection started on the third Monday in
December but. the rolls were late in
reaching the treasurer this year and be
will be late in getting his receipts
ready.
The completion of the tax roll has
been monumental labor this year and
the officials connected with the work
are worthy of a great deal of praise
for the splendid manner in which the
work hassbeensdone. It is hardly prob
able that the treasurer will be overrun
with demandssfor the payment of taxes
before the first of the year. The limit
for the paying of taxes has not as yet
been set bat in excepting with other
years il is '.probable that the tardy
members of the committee will be
allowed until the last Monday in
February, to. raise the .money for the
city's stipend.
The discovery of the small error
will allow thescity officials the sum Of
5000 which has not been appropriated
for any purpose but it is probable that
they will easily be able to find place
to put any ssurplus that may be dis
covered through errors in the rolls.
