OF the difficulties In the language Of
Persia a traveller writes: 1.-The words
one uses in letter are almost entire
ly different from those used conversa-
tionally, and those in an ordinary
prose history are again different. Then
1t is almost impossible to distinguish
the lenses, and, lastly, the adjective
is generally indistinguishabie from the
substantive, and the link between mn
adjective and the term which 1t quail

KILLING OF SHERIFF. LOGAN

The killing of Sheriff Logan OF Nye
County looks like a cold biooded ana
premeditated pice of work. The man
who sent five shots into him when
his victim was unarmed had previous
" been arrested by him and threat
ened his life. Logan was one OF the
most efficiant officers that ever lived
in Nevada. He dealt with the tough
and criminal element of the new camp
Of Tonopah as few men would have
dared 70 do and by his firm handed
methods kept that section of the
country clear of the lawless crowd
that usually infests such localities.
He was in the habit, when he found
undesirable people in the camp to lead
them to the edge Of the town and
lei, them that they could reach Soda
vile by walking and hand them five
dollars for expenses. # they declin-
ed to go he would tap the handle
of his revolver and tell them in a
ilSw tone to. ''hit the traiI' and none
Of them ever needed a second invl-
tation. He was devoid of personal
fear and his efficient methods will be
missed in that section. He was shot
down in the discharge of his duty
while protecting a woman from a
beating at the hands of the man who
deliberately shot him down.

THE BULLETIN is QUEER

For a republican journal the San
Francisco Bulletin is certainly acting
queerly Every day or so. II makes
some break or other that is bound to
cost the party votes. The issue of
Thursday contained in glaring head
lines on the first page the announce
ment that "U. S. Gives Oil Trust
Cinch."' The oil trust means of course
Standard OIL and the way the govern
ment gave the company cinch was
by requiring test that is found only
in oil manufactured by the much
despised Rockefeller monopoly.
Although the Bulletin has always
ranked high for loyalty to the G. o. P.
It cannot ignore patent facts and It
must supply Ats large number OF
readers with facts as they are. But
why it should go out Of its way to
call attention to the delinquences Of
the party administration in scarehead
is a puzzle. =
Has it learned that partisan journal
ism is improbable. and that in this
up to-date age the first thing expected
of newspaper is facts? 1t Is had TO
: say. but the sequel will be an in
teresting thing to look for-Reno

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP STREET CAR SYSTEM
September Is, next, has been decided
upon as the date when the voters of Seattle
will decide whether or not municipal own
ership of street railway system shall be
tried. City Engineer Thomson has submit
ted plans for the construction of street

At the same time bonds, amounting to
seven and half million dollars, are to be

voters at the same time will be called upon
to signify their willingness to the city is

LET'S ALL HEAuTIFx OUR HOMES

Every property owner in Seattle should
take pride in beautifying his property,
and especially his home property. Let's
have the city looking beautiful for the ex-
position, but let's have it looking beautiful
if there is never an exposition. The man
with money can employ sufficient help to
make his home look beautiful all the time,
and he is an enemy to the town if he does
not do it. The man with muscle can make
his home look beautiful by working on it
after his regular working hours, instead of
loafng in downtown resorts or killing time
at lodge rooms. He is also an enemy to
the community if he does not do so.
Grass and flower seeds are cheap, and
white clover will grow on the natural soil
if it is only we'll cultivated before seeding,
and there is no excuse for every home in
Seattle not being veritable flower garden
with an evergreen and verdant lawn. 1t
may be difficult matter to have blue
grass lawn but it is like rolling off log to
grow white clover lawn, which looks al
most as well.
Beautify should be the watch-word of
every property-owner, and even every ten
nant.
