SANTA ROSA.
ENTERPRISE FOR ESTABLISHING
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
IN THE CITY.
Building Going On with Gratifying
Rapidity-Death of a Beloved Resi-
dent, Mr.. p. q. Robbins.

J. C. Thomas, druggist, has pur-
chased the best corner lot in Santa
Rosa and will soon begin the erection
of a large store and office building.
The county officers of Leonard
Wood county have moved their offices
to the present county seat, viz, Santa
Rosa. and a number of them will buy
lots and build their homes here.
Attorney P. Q. Robbins, one of the
pioneer lawyers of Santa Rosa, passed
to the great beyond last Sunday orn
ing at 3 O'Clock, after an illness of
more than two weeks. He went hunt
ing and became overheated. A severe
cod on his lungs followed, resulting
in Oedema of throat and lungs. His
remains were inferred yesterday in
Evergreen cemetery. He leaves a
wife and daughter, a mother and two
sisters in the east and many friends
in Santa Rosa to mourn his loss.
Among the many encouraging things
We have to note is the arrival of Mr..
c. A. Poole of the Hendry & Bothorff
Electric Light and Power Supply
house of Ddenver. Mr.. Poole is here
to negotiate with citizens concerning
he putting in of an electric light
plant at this place. 1t is now, there
lore, confidently expected that we will
soon be using electricity instead of
coal Oil for Illuminating purposes. A
charter has already been granted.
Among the many new buildings now
being erected or just completed are
a new residence for our pioneer car
penter, J. C. Calhoun; a residence for
DR.. r. J. Thompson. a residence for
Benigno l.. Romero, q residence for
Manuel B. Baca, county clerk, resi-
dence of J. p. Cook, residence and
store house Of Jose G. Armijo, resi-
dence and storehouse OF ]. w. Cox,
large store room of NJ. B. Cranston,
market OF A. p. Anaya, etc.
M. 3. Cranston will, as soon as his
store Is completed, open a large stock
OF furniture, queensware. cofiins, etc.

Left Handed vituperatives.

One of the gravest objections to train
ing child to be left handed is the GER
tainty that it will be nicknamed from
its peculiarly, especially during the
early years of life. Most counties Id
England have their idiomatic express
sions to denote left handedness. and
they are often prefxed to the unfortu-
nate left handed child's name. In Lon
don the term is kack handed. the word
being also equivalent to awkward. In
Lancashire it is k-pawed. in Yorkshire
gallock or gawk handed, an expression
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Derbyshire are used the
terms leg handed, cork handed and
corky handed, while in the Teesdale
district cuddy handed is common. and
in Nottinghamshire wallet handed.
In the south Of England special terms
to denote left handedness are also
found. In Dorset it is scrame handed.
and in Devonshire coochy handed In
Scotland we find gawk handed. and in
the west cawry handed. In Ireland 4
left handed man is called kithogue.
Mr.. Tim Healy used this word in a
speech at East Wicklow. in which he
said that Mr.. o'Kelly could fight with
his left hand and had already given
his opponent some 'kithogues'' that
would spoil his political beauty during
the contest London Chronicle.

gov to prevent a Repetition Of e:ifta.

How to Prevent Repetition of Gifts.
ssThe use of Christmas notebook, /"
advises a writer in the Pittsburg Press,
will prevent many Of the holiday mis-
fits that are always awkward and
sometimes extremely embarrassing.
Each year in mine goes list of all the
presents l give and receive and the
names accompanying every gift. The
children have their ages tabulated
against the gift sent, so that as the
years go on may not offend the boy
preparing for college with bag of
marbles or the girl thinking of her
first long gown with a doll. Our
friends children have a trick of spring
ing up with remarkable suddenness,
and these humiliating experiences are
very common But chiefly does the
Christmas notebook prevent repetition
of gifts. Holiday inspirations seem to
move in cycle of their own. Once en-
tered they produce impressions with
sometimes most unfortunate accuracy.
To one friend to whom gave read
ing glass three years ago have twice
since been on the point Of sending an
Dther, saved each time by my Christ
mas memory book Fans for two
young cousins seem to be my first
Christmas thought each year from the
time two years ago that l bestowed
them on these relatives. and so on. In
my own rather large family should
make many blunders except for the
sure guide of date, name and article
duly inscribed Everybody nowadays
has so much to think about that need
less details should be spared them,
and while notebook memories are
rather despised they are much better
at Christmas than untimely or resur-
rected remembrances
