in a Speech to the students of the Uni

It Is too bad that these institutions once

natural rivals, should be estrauged on
account OF a Observation-Disclosures -
Mr.. Clark's speech has already called

HARTMAN PLANS MAPS.
Lines of Roads VIII Be Shown Exactly
as They Run.

z. H. Hartman is going to print and
publish to the world a map of his big
system without the time honored straight
lines, which since the first wheel was
turned has always represented the
routes of roads, says the Kansas City
Journal Did you ever see a folder in
which the lines of road were shown as
they actually run? No, they are all
ways almost straight lines. Now Mr..
Hartman has told his passenger repre-
sentatives to forget the straight lines
and print a map showing exactly the
way the rails of these roads lie. AS
result there will soon be issued by the
passenger department Of the Hartman
lines the most unique map ever sent
out by a railroad. there will be no
straight lines on it, but there will be
no deception about it; it will show the
railways exactly as they run. Now that
the. ice has been broken by a nervy man
it is believed all railroads in the coun-
try will fall in and print folders with
maps of their systems as they are,
meaning the advent of truth in trans
Dortation literature.

Washington, Oct. 27.-During the
coming winter and spring many miles
of trails will be built in the govern

'The trails will afford a means of
reaching all parts of forest reserves
on horseback and the fire lines will
form vantage points from which the
fire may be attacked or against which
it may be directed and there con

Edward OIvis the sum OF $4,000 for
a trifle less than fifty acres of land

miles long and the Burlington wants it
for the new track which will complete
the cutoff between Waldron and Bever-

was secured from other parties for
$3.50 an acre, just half as much as the
road paid Olvis for his land.

JAPANESE BEAUTY.

It's rather a nice standard of beau
ty that the Japanese have for their
dear little, queer little, most fasci-
mating little women.
On the whole, the Japanese consid-
er that a woma nshould not exceed
five feet in height should have a
comparatively fair skin and be well
developed; should have long, thin and
jet black hair; an oval face, with
a narrow, straight nose; rather large
eyes. nearly black thick eyelashes;
a small mouth; hiding behind red,
full lips even rows of small white
teeth; ears not altogether small;
thick eyebrows and a medium fore
head, from which the hair should
grow in circular or Fujiyama shape
that shape recalling the truncated
cone of the famous volcano.
Add to these the modesty, sweet
humility and gentle submission which
the Japs deem essential in their wo-
mankind. and which long centuries
of practice have instilled into them
pretty thoroughly-and the result
might we'll be very interesting and
adorable little creature.

DIRECT LEGISLATION.

We believe in direct legislation,
putting the power of making laws and
choosing rulers back into the hands
of those to whom it belongs-and the
election of all officers by the people.
The people should not be made to
await the pleasure of the legislature
or of congress. They should not be
kept in ignorance of what the law is
until legislative acts become known
through the newspapers. They should
have in every case the right to initi-
ate those laws which they want, and
to veto, through the referendum, any
law which they do not like.
When an officer whom they have
elected shows by any vote or act that
he is not the man they took him to
be, they should not have to wait till
the expiration of his term to get a
better man. They should have the
right to recall the officer the moment
he betrays his trust.-Tom Watson't

UNITS OF WATER MEASURE.

Three units of measurement are in
common use in estimating the amount
of water used in irrigation-the inch
the cubic foot per second and the
acre-foot or acre-inch. The inch is
the volume of water that will flow
through an inch-square opening un-
der a specific and uniform pressure
The different pressure requirements
of different states cause a considera-
BILE variation in the quantity of water
represented by the inch.
The cubic foot per second, or sec
ond foot, as it is also called, is d
discharge or flow of one cubic foo
in one second of time, or the equiv
alent thereof. Since this unit Is al
ways a definite quantity, and is adapt
ed to various methods of measure
ment, 1t is much to be preferred II
accurate determination, and is grad
ually displacing the inch as a unit o
measurement. The acre-foot is thu
amount of water required to cove
one acre of land to the depth of ont
foot. The acre-inch, sometimes used
is the one-twelfth part of the acre
foot.-Irrigation Age.

EDUCATION AT THE FAIR.

To the younger generation of West
erners, those who have lived all their
lives on the frontier, out of touch with
the government institutions, out of
touch with the great manufacturing
centers. strangers to the scientific de-
velopments that have been made in
the great laboratories of the East, the
exhibits at the Lewis and Clark fair
will be one of the choicest bits of edu-
cation that they can ever hope to re-
ceive in such a brief space of time
and in such a comprehensive manner.
Marvellous and wonderful as the de-
velopments of this age have been. yet
it is possible to grasp, at one grand
sweep of vision, the entire breadth and
width and scope of it. in the me-
chanical and varied arts at the fair.

epitomized for close inspection and
study and there will never be present
