months ago, was an ardent advocate OF
oiled streets, but since taking up vita
the Warren company it seems there is
nothing like bitulithic now.
Laying all jokes aside, Boise City
is one of the best little cities in the
northwest and will keep Walla Walla
hustling for progressiveness,' Mr.
Reese declared this morning. I'm a
good many ways that town resembles
Walla Walla. The only difference is
that Walla Walla probably has more
inhabitants, but Boise has an excellent
street car system and is adding to her
population at a rapid rate. There will
be no end of paving done in Boise this
year. The Warren company was
awarded contracts for $4,000 yards OF
paving last week and other paving inn
provements are under contemplation.

Paper Gas Pipes.

Paper gas pipes are among the novel
ties reported from Europe. Manila pa
per is cut up into strips whose width
is equal to the length of the pipe Sec
ton to be used. The paper bands are
then passed into a vessel filed with
melted asphalt After coming out Of
the bath the prepared strip Is rolled
uniformly and very tightly around an
iron rod or pipe, which serves as the
core and has the same diameter which
the gas pipe is to have. The rolling of
the paper is stopped when the right
thickness has been secured. After the
pipe section which Is thus formed has
been put through high pressure it is
covered en- the outside by layer Of
sand, which Is pressed into the asphalt
while still hot The outer surface of
the pipe is treated with waterproof
compound. 1t is said that the pipe is
very tight and is cheaper than metal
piping,

The Gambling DuCheaa.

Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge is the
nickname applied In London society cir
cles to the Duchess Of Devonshire ow-
ing to her passionate devotion to the
game Of bridge. The duchess one alb
sorbing passion, in fact, Is gambling,
and she has always been ready to take
turn at any game where there was a
chance Of placing bet. She is an ar
dent follower Of the turf. Despite or
rather because of her known weakness
for gambling she is said to be, next to
the king. the most potent personality in
smart society. Her first husband was
the Duke Of Manchester, grandfather
OF the present duke. The duchess Is
now nearly eighty years of age, but her
figure is miraculously preserved, and
her hair is said to have been practically
unaffected by the passing of the years.

DREW THEIR OWN WILLS.
Eminent Legal Lights who Did So
and Blundered,


Many celebrated men have neglected
to settle their affairs. Ben JOnsOn,
Dryden and Sir Isaac Newton all died
intestate, Bacon insolvent, and the
epigram ON Buffers monument in
Westminster abbey sufficiently ex-
plains why he and many others like
him never made a will:
The poets fate is here in emblem shown.

II. Halford happening one day to quote
the saying to circle of friends, Can

mayn't he be both?' At any rate, ex-
perience teaches that lawyers who
draw their own wills sometimes make
great mistakes. Sir Samuel Romilly' 8

FOREIGN ETIQUETTE.
Some Things Harmless Here Would
BE Bad Form Abroad.

Some Things Harmless Here Would
BE Bad Form Abroad.
There are some points of foreign ETH
quette which are absolutely inexplica-
BILE to the British mind, and, indeed, it
is very doubtful whether the nations to
which they are peculiar can themselves
offer any explanation. Why, for in
stance, is it bad form If you visit a
Frenchman in his own room to lay
your hat on the bed? The fact remains
that it is universally considered the
worst Of manners.
Again, in Germany, if you are walk
ing in the garden with a lady and it
occurs to you to pick flower for her
acceptance, be careful to pluck also a
leaf or two to make the nosegay COM
plete. Failure to do so is an insult, for
which you may possibly be called to
account by her nearest male relative.
If you are unexpectedly asked to stay
to a meal in an Englishman's house you
would not think twice of using his
hairbrushes nor he Of lending them.
But in Hungary such a thing is impos-
sible. To ask for the loan Of a hair
brush in a Hungarian house is an un-
speakable barbarism, and if it were
not known that you erred from sheer
ignorance would bring down upon you
a most insulting response or possibly 4
challenge.-LOndOn Mail.

MARINE L.EAPERS.
The Tuna Is the Most Graceful of the
Jumpers of the Sea.


Many of the inhabitants Of the sea
are good jumpers and some have be-
come famous. Among them should be
mentioned the tarpOn or silver king, q
huge fish with scales that CLEAN like
silver, which constitutes the famous
game fish Of Florida. The leaps of this
beautiful creature are often astOnisli-
ing. Several years ago steamer was
rushing down the ST. Johns river The
captain was sitting on the fore deck,
leaning against the pilot house, when
suddenly there rose in the air beauti-
full shining fish four feet in length. It
came on like an arrow and landed in
the lap of the captain as neatly as
though it had been placed there
In the Pacific waters the tuna, an
ally of the horse mackerel, is noted
for its leaps. Sometimes a school
sweeps up the coast and the powerful
fish, often weighing 800 pounds, are
seen in the air in every direction. They
are like an arrow, turn gracefully five
or six feet in the air and come down,
keeping the water for acres in foam,
and if not the greatest jumpers they
are certainly the most graceful of TIN.

Commissioner Ross has filed his final
decision on the Carey act selections
in reply to the adverse report Of the
reclamation service. The points he
covers are:
One-The secretary has no arbitrary
power to refuse to approve the selec-
lions.
Two-The lands could be reclaimed
under the Washington Irrigation Com
pany's contract.
Three-The government can buy out
the Washington Irrigation Company
and take over the contract with the
state.
