| New YoJk, jar. 2s.-Probably
the finest automobile ever built in
France-and the finest in the
world are built there's now at
Madison Square Garden, the chief
single attraction of the automobile
show. 1t was sold last week to w.
r. Hearst for $4,000, the highest
price by 81 300 ever paid for road
carriage.
Henry .Fournier, the French
chauffeur and dealer, brought this
remarkable machine to America
and cold it.
The car, as it stands in the cafe
of the Garden, is monster. It is
Mors, 60 horse power, weighs
$3.50 pounds and is capable of
making forty miles an hour. It
can comfortably carry six passen-,
gers and a chauffeur to Philadel-
phia in two and a half hours, and
with a few turns of the crank it
can make the entire trip without
stop.
Until this giant of the road,
which had been named ssThe EN-
pire State Express" was sold, the
highest price ever paid for machi-
ne was $4,000.
E. r. Thomas paid that amount
for bis "Red Dsvil," a Panhard of
much less horse power than
Hearst's Mors.

Paris, Jan 28.-The attitude of
the Government of France relative
to the claims against Venezuela is
that the French claims are in the
nature of a first lien on the customs
receipts, and that, under no circu M
stances, are they to be subordina-
ted 10 other claims. This view has
been communicated to the repre-
sentatives of the allies, to Minister
Bowen and to the State Depart
ment at Washington. For this
reason the officials here express
confidence that no arrangements
will be made between Mr. Bowen
and the allies over those of France
and other powers similarly situated.
1t is said that 40 per cent Of tie
customs receipts will probably be
sufficient to satisfy France, the allies
and all the other claimants. Pre-
vious to the meeting of Mr.. Bowen
and the representatives of the allies
France secured an agreement with
Venezuela that the French claims
shall receive treatment equal to
that given to any other power. The
view is held here that Venezuela
and all others taking part in the
negotiations should take eegnizan-
ee and carry out the agreement.
The French authorities evidently
insist that equal terms are abso-
lutely indispensable.

Salem, Jan. 26.-The supl en-,
count of the state this morning af.
firmed the decision of the eircui
court in the case of A. L. Belding
the Portland murderer. Be!dine
now has no further chance, and
must hang for his crime.
Today's decision of the supreme
court leaves Bslding without hope
except through the pardoning pow.
er of the governor. That official
has power to grant a full pardon or
to commute the death sentence ts
imprisonment for life in the state
penitentiary. However, as Cover
nor Cham berlain represented the
state as district attorney for the
prosecution of Belding, this practi-
cally cuts eff the last faint hopes of
the multi.murderer.
The decision is no surprise as it
was fully expected that tthesupreme
court would uphold the state circuit
court The grounds for new trial
were purely technical, the defense
claiming the right to new trial
because the district attorney filed
his information directly 10 the cir
cult court, depriving Belding of a
preliminary hearing. This is the
fret time such question has been
raised in this state, and the deci-
sion establishes a precedent.
That Belding has no hope of a
new trial is proved by the late at
tempt Of himself and George Smith
to break Jail. Belding will now
have about one. month in which to ]
live. Sheriff Story will begin prep
arations forthe execution in the
near future. The death watch will
Immediately be put on duty again,
and the stern fact that justice will
soon be meted out to him will once
more stare the cruel, cold -biooded
murderer in the face.
Sheriff Story stated to Journal
'eporter this morning that the
ranging will be as quiet as possible, /

representatives being admitted into

There is noticed on every hand in
the retail district of Grand Junction
a spirited activity, all caused by mer-
chants in every line preparing for the
usual holiday trade. The merchants
of this city are known far and wide
for their enterprise and no city of
equal size and many that claim a
larger population can boast Of larger
or more finely appointed retail empor-
iums that this metropolis of the Wes-
tern Slope. The stocks carried are
large and of careful { S ortment to
supply every demand. There is no
class of men who do more for the
growth and expansion of trade of any
CITY than the retail merchants and to
these men the community should give
their support. Remember this when

KEEP UP THE FIGHT

In well tempered, strongly logical
editorial under the caption quoted, the
Homer Guardian Journal in urging the
abrogation Of the appointive power of
the Governor, except in cases of va
eancies, and citing the success of the
people when they insisted on the cleo
ton Of the police Jurors. which were
then appointive by the Governor, says
1T will win because it is right. The
contention that all public officers should
be elected directly by the people, is
founded upon the soundest principles
of pure and undefled Democracy, and
there can be no doubt of the ultimate
triumph of the doctrine in all forms of
government in which the people have a
voice. To say that the people are in
capable Of selecting their own officers
IS to ir1peach their capacity for self
government, while the idea that the peo-
pie can not be trusted to elect their as
SCISSORS and parish school boards, but
"a II IL
that these same people can elect gov
ernor, who can appoint these officers all
over the State, in parishes in which he
is not acquainted, on the recommends
ton of few local politicians, is ridicu-
1ous and absurd. If the people can elect
governor they can also elect their
local officers.
Keep up the fight. The people are
bound to win It. Make it anissue, and
a lively one, in the next State election
