Stanhope stood upright. his knees

of the two volumes of water gave the
expected lull.

Nevada Man Plans Unique Trip
In Alaska.
TO USE CHUG WAGON ACROSS SHOWS
FOLLOWING SEVERE JOURNEY
HE WILL MAKE EXHIBIT AT
THE 1909 EXPOSITION

SEATTLE. Dec. 10.-The spikemo-
bile is the latest; in fact it is so very
late that it hasn't quite arrived, but
It's going to, and soon, according to
L. B. Straven, who knows all about
autos, being manager of an auto line
in the Goldfield, Nevada, mining dis
trict.
Mr.. Straven proposes to jaunt from
Valdez inland about 800 miles to Fair
banks, and to make the trip in one
day. Going some, Ell? 1t takes dog
trains ten days to make the trip. Mr..
Straven's spikemobile will be spurred
like fighting cocks, with ten-mule-pow-
er kicks, and will spill enough ice at
every revolution of the wheel to keep
Harlem flat cool a whole day in
August. However, that won't matter,
for ice is cheap along the route be-
tween Valdez and Fairbanks.
1.-THE trip ought ordinarily to take
no longer than day for a powerful
automobile such as I intend to use,"
said Mr.. Straven. "Tnis method q
travelling will be far more comfortable
than the old-time, slow-moving dog
sledge, where passengers sat bumped
up buried in furs, or the breezy open
coaches. We intend to establish a
roadhouse half way between Valdez
and Fairbanks, where we will stop for
dinner, and in case Of emergency, over
night"
Mr.. Straven will exhibit the spike
mobile at the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific
exposition, which is to be held in Seat
tie in the summer of 1909. The ex-
position is going to have an uncom-
monty interesting showing of the
methods of travel in vogue in Alaska.
1t will be an International fair, spe-
cializing in exhibits illustrative of the
potentialiites of Pacific ocean COM

Wood at So a Pound.

French walnut is the finest wood
we have" said the cabinet maker. 1T
comes from Persia, but it is prepared
in France. l have seen French wal
nut worth 50 a pound and it is COM
mon thing to pay 81 a pound for it.
OF course, it is used principally for We
neering. Only milionaires could have
chairs and tables Of solid French
walnut.
Mahogany, wonderful as it is,
rarely fetches such high prices. From
81 to SO is a very good price per
pound for this wood.
Ebony, if it is in a particularly
large piece, so that it will cut well,
will often bring IS a pound in the

MORE AUSTRALIAN IDEAS
Mental Illumination from the Antip-
Odes Designed 20 Work some
Civic Good.

Australia may not be depended on for
anything If not for originality. Ideas seem
as numerous there as bushrangers were
a few decades ago. The most gratifying
feature about these mental Nominations
Is the fact that they are all designed -
work some civic good That we imported
the ballot system now in use from the
antipodean commonwealth is evidence OF
this. We have been asked to investigate
other innovations in King Edwards South
sea empire, but time or money or some
thing has been lacking.
A movement has just been launched by
the government that might well be the
subject of inquiry from this country 10
the end that public relief work might be
smplihed. a year and half ago royal
commission was appointed by the Austria
liam government to investigate the work
ings OF an old age pension law In TWO or
three of the provinces OF the empire. The
commission has just reported, and II unan-
imously recommends that the government
take steps Immediately to adopt for the
entire colony a similar system.
In New South Wales there are now 22,OOO
pensioners receiving from the state $3.50.
600 per annum. Tn Victoria there are II, i5S
pensioners receiving s., O25, 900, with the cost
OF administration $500 In New Zealand
the proportion u dhouN INT same do III
Victoria. The commission has made
thorough study OF the pension laws ana
the conditions governing them and advises
for the commonwealth a law providing
maximum pension OF $3.50 from the ag"
of s., or in case Of total disability, from
co. the payments TO be made every two
weeks. 1t is computed that the pension list
will average from 15 TO 25 per cent OF those
persons above the stipulated age. Magis-
trates will listen 70 and pass on appli-
cations for pensions and no pension Will
be granted where the income equals or eN-
oeeds $3.50 a year. A rule has been devised
whereby the pension will be decreased in
the exact ratio of the increase Of income
from other sources. All the pensions are
forfeitable II the recipient proves TO be OF
dissolute or incorporate habits. q
II Is improbable that the average cost OF
maintaining the INDECENT IN the United
States reaches the sum OF $3.50 per capita
when only the inmates OF state and muni-
cipal eleemosynary institutions are com
pleted. But these inmates comprise a
small proportion when compared with
the aged and inhrm who are supported
in whole or in part by various private
charitable organizations. II could only be
learned after careful study whether the
Australian system could be adopted wit
any degree OF success In this country

HAS THE BRAKES ON
HOUSE MAKES LITTLE SPEED IN
 LEGISLATION.
PrInce of Illinois and HardwIck of Georgia, Raise Points Against Items in the LegisIation Ap-
 prOpriatt0n BIll.

Washington, March 23.-The House again endeavored to legislate with the brakes on today. The result was some friction and heat and the speed in con sidering the legislative bill was cor Irespondingly slow The debate on the bill threw many side lights on the rules of the House and their vigorous applica- ton to the bill in hand by Mir. Prince of Illinois, and MT. Hardwick, of Geor- gia. wrought havoc with the force of the civil service commission where ever increase of salary or force were proposed, as well as other positions for which the managers of the bill could find no statute law.
 An echo of the statehood controver- sy of yesterday resulted in an effort to correct the journal when the House met today.
 Mir williams maintained he was put in the ridiculous position of moving to instruct the conferees after they had been appointed. a motion clearly out of order at that time
 The correction was made as suggest ed
 Pension day was fixed for tomorrow | and the legislative bill was taken up. MT Gaines, of Tennessee, offered an amendment providing $100,o00 for a i private car for the President. | IL no ukILGItIlC6 WHCluGI ftlit 1 President was on an official trip or on 1 a bear hunt, MT. Gaines suggested, he ought to be made comfortable. | 4 point of order by MT. Littauer was | fatal to the provision, although he recognized its probable necessity. MT Babcock. (Wis.) asked Mir. Lit | tauer if he did not think it wise for | this Congress to provide a private car for the President It might be. was the answer. but if so 1t ought to be | properly considered.
 MT Hardwick (Ga.). congratulated l MT. Littauer in making the point of order. He said the contingent fund for the President was increased in the bill and if he did not think he would | be overruled, he would make a point of order against the increase. He ad- mitted his bump of reverence might not be well developed. but he could not see why every one connected with the White House was so high and mighty that no questions could be asked regarding the need for requested appropriations.
 point of order by MT. Prince (Ill.), was fatal to the proposed increase of three examiners and six clerks for the civil service commission. On a motion to strike out the whole provision for the commission by MT. Finley (S O, twenty-six votes were cast for and forty eight against.
 The testimony of MT. Wallace, late of the Panama canal commission, on the efficiency of the civil service employees was read to the House by Mir Coopeu (Wis.), who commented on the worth lessness of the testimony and then de- tended the civil service
 Six clerks in the field force of the civil service commission, being pro- uyant nf ba on a point of order made by MT. Prince. In making the last point of order, Mir. Prince made the comment that the ap-

propriations committee was endeavor' ing to violate the rules in all in creases.
 Mir. Tawney replied that if the same procedure of Messrs. Prince and Hard wick was to be continued more thar half the bill could not be considered He charged that they were not acting in good faith. He wanted the country to know who was responsible for the destruction.
 It was evident considerable feeling the appropriations committee and those enforcing the rules and this came to a head at the conclusion of MT Princes reply to MT. Tawney when the latter asked Mir. Prince to explain whether he was not responsi- ble for the appointment of a janitor in the capitol at $60 a month who was drawing pay and not doing work.
 The question brought Mir Prince to his feet instantly. He declared with some heat that he would give a de- employe in question had become sick and had been sent home for treat ment. Meantime the work was being done and paid for by the employees. The cost of the temporary work was $S a month. The employe was to re- turn as soon as he recovered.
 When MT. Prince demanded to know If the members of the appropriations committee had anything else to throw at him, MT. Littauer retorted: No, your comment is enough, and also your comment that the appropriations committee is padding the rells."
 Mir. Hepburn, Uowa) commented on the wonderful growth Of the civil service commission In the past twenty two years aud then proceeded to show tha ttwentytwo years ago when the commission was created, 1t consisted of ten persons and for two years cost but $2O, ,00O per annum. Now 1t costs S237, 900 year and consisted of 1S0 persons, an increase of 1,200 per cent.
 Mark Smith delegate from Arizona, punctuated the debate at this point with facetitous application of the rules to the statehood question.
 Why don't the committee arise, get a special rule from the speaker and then pass the bill without even reading it?" he asked. What's the use of wasting time? You can dispose of two million people in twenty minutes. It has got to that point where considera- tion of a bill is folly"
 The bill was still unfinished when the committee rose.
 The president was as:ied to return to the House a bill opening for settle ment the Kiowa and Comanche Indian reservation in oklahoma.
 The House adjourned at , o'clock.
