RARE BICYCLE PATH.
Smooth Roads Through Oregon For ests Built by Western Enterprise.

Country Life in America.
 Twenty-Five miles of highway, graded and brideed like a railroads right of way, cin1ered like a millionaires private race track, cleared through heavy timber and carried around the precipitous sides of lakes on level shelves high above the water, and dedicated to the exclusive uss of the wheel is the result of long and persistent effort made by wheelmen of Seattle against seemingly impossible obstacles.
 The population of Seattle, like all Western cities, is largely recruited from the Eastern States. Thus it was that many people, accustomed to the level roads of the Middle Staets and the roll ing highways which make wheeling in the thickly populated East such pleas ure, came to this city of hills, with it's

So we'll did the plan result that it has been maintained. with but small modification, and has resulted in the perfection of the present system of paths. There are three main divis- ions of this bicycle highway, namely. the Lake Washington path, the Lake Union path and the Magnolia Blun path. The grades are very slight, the builders not hesitating to cut through a bank and bridge over a ravine almost as carefully as would be done for a narrow gauge railroad. The surface of the paths Is well cindered. making them dustless in the dry season and firm in the rainy wealth CT.
 A Chicago man, riding about the path, said: Give me the Lake Washingt bicycle path in Chicago. with a wire fence around it, and I will make a mil lion dollars out of 1t.

Engagement Etiquette.

A girl should write to her personal friends and tell them the news, while her mother writes to older relatives and friends.
 Letters of congratulation in answer to these should be written as soon as pos sible.
 Young girls do not write to their men friends to congratulate them on an en- gagement; they either congratulate them personally or not at all.
 It is the girls privilege to ask any friends she likes to act as her brides maids, but it Is an understood thing that some relative of the bridegrooms shall be among the number.
 Friends of a bridegroom who are un- acquainted with the brides family send their wedding presents to him, and he forwards them to the brides mother. so that they may be on view with the other presents on the wedding day.

A TELEPHONE WAR.
New Company to Be Established in
 New Decatur

New Decatur. Oct Special. )---The telephone war is still on here. and the fight has become one of interest For some time the Southern Bell Telephone Company has been making a strong ef- Tort to get their franchise renewed, which expired some months ago.
 Some time ago a home company. known as the Morgan County Telephone Ex- change, was granted a contract and they are now receiving their poles and will commence constructing their line within the next few days. This new company agrees to furnish resident phones at $l.50 per month and business phones at $2.50 a month, or about one-half the rate the Southern Bell Company has been charging.
 The Commercial Club and the promi- nent business men of New Decatur have movement on foot looking forward to the establishment of an uptown telegraph office here. At present time New Deca- tur has only railroad office.
 It Is said that the railroad company contemplates abollshing the New Decatur telegraph office, since the Western Union has made arrangements to move their Decatur office uptown and put on an extra operator. The Commercial Club is not willing to let New Decatur be without a telegraph office, and for this reason have been try ing to make arrangements to locate an uptown office here on a commission bases.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 1.-The
bill which has been introduced in
the Senate providing for geolog-
ical survey of the State, to be
made under the auspices of the
State University and the A. & M.
College, is meeting with general
favor and the prospects are bright
for its passage and for a liberal
appropriation tosustain the work.
There will be no conflict between
the two institutions having the
work in charge, which can APP
portion it between themselves as
they see fit. The Governor has
specifically recommended the
passage of such a bill.

SMALL POX.

This dreadful disease is now very
prevalent i'm all parts of the country,
and, as exposure to its malignant
breath is liable to occur at any time no
matter how careful we may be, it be-
hooves everyone to take proper precau-
tions to prevent the germs from affect
ing the body. The doctors say that
pure blood, good digestion and regular
bowel movements materially aid the
body in resisting attack, hence it is the
course of wisdom to purify and
strengthen the system without delay.
A most effective remedy for this pur-
pose, one that combines the necessary
properties for purifying the blood,
strengthening the kidneys. toning up
the digestive organs and for cleansing
and regulating the bowels will be
found in that well known system tonic
and purifier, Prickly Ash Bitters.
This valuable remedy is the right
thing for putting the body in shape to
resist the effect of exposure to small
pOx. No one VIII knowingly expose
himself to this disease. The exposure
usually takes place when it is least ex-
pected, therefore the need for precau-
tionary measures is the most urgent.
1t is safe to say that the frequent use
of Prickly Ash Btters while the dis
ease is so prevalent will keep the body
in such fine physical condition that no
ordinary exposure will affect it.

Bill Passed..

The bill making an appropria-
ton for the Mcneil experiment.
al station of S11500 which passed
the House last week was passed
Tuesday in the Senate by a hand
some majority and this ends the
matter for the present so far as
the Legislature is concerned.
However, there is one thing that
should be done and that is a bill
passed authorizing the trustees
to sell all the lands donated to
this farm which will not be util-
lied in experiments and apply
the proceeds to that part that
will be used as a farm. This
together with the appropriation
might be equal to the amount
first asked for. 1t hardly seems
fair that the State din't put up
more money than was given it by
private individuals, but these do
nors have the grit and persever-
ance to go ahead and make the
best of it, and are only too willing
to aid the State in building up an
institution that will rebound to
the good of this section and will
be a pride to every citizen of this
great commonwealth.
