TEMPLE STREET PAVING
WILL BE ADVAN GEO

Referring to the request of the coun-
Gil that the board of public works cause
the Pacific Electric Railway company
to pave it's portion of the roadway on
Temple street, the board reported yes
terday that 1--WE have had this matter
up with the said company's officials
repeatedly since the paving of the re-
naming portion of the roadway was
completed
"They have represented to us that a
contract was awarded by them for this
work some months ago and that the
nature of the soil, the frequently Oc-
curing rains and other matters over
which neither they nor the contractor
have control, have been the cause Of
the delay.
They seem to be acting in good faith,
but the board has again taken the
matter up and we understand the coun-
Gilman from the Second ward has also
taken this up personally and we have
every reason to believe that this work
will soon be completed"

themselves of this opportunity to be-

tion of the opening of the road will be

THE CAUSE OF CAYUsf WRECK
Two Small Springs Undermined Foun.
dation of Roadbed.

The following statement ambodying
the cause OF the Cayuse wreck, is taken
from the Portland TelegraE and un-
douEtedly has its origin in 0. r. g. N.
circles at that place. 1t is of far more
than local or passing interest:
Two little springs, discharging a
com bined flow of half of Miners
inch of water. caused the wreck on
the o. r. 81 N. main line near Cayuse
station about two weeks ago. The
water oozing from the ground beneath
the fill undermined the foundation OF
the roadbed. While the dest, uction
was not apparent to track walker.
No. 5 plunged into it just as soon as
the weight of the train came on that
portion of the track.
The springs are about 15 feet apart
Another spring has been reported on
the farm of Judge HALEY on the Walla
Walla line, four or five miles above
Pendleton where before not trace OF
water was visible. How to account
for the presence of the spring is battling
to the railroad officials. To protect
the roadbed against seepage from tht
high ground above the track where tht
wreck occurred. ditch was dug fol
some distance on the hillside and il
connected with a pipe line which car
ried the flow beneath the track anc
into the Umatilla. Measurement II
were taken of the flow at the mouth
of the ditch, at the entrance to the
pipe, and at the end of the pipe whGfe
the water flowed into the river, and
they corresponded. TO determine pos
itlvely that the water was sinking into
the bill second ditch was dug, divert
ing the water by roundabout course
to the mouth of the pipe line. with the
same results.
As yet tho companS is operating
around the sunken piece of track and
a rock Gil is to be made, and probably
tiling used also, to carry off the over
flow Of the springs.

He DIsTRUSTs THE SETTLERS
Uncle Sam Fears Homesreaders Act
in Bad Faith.

Some time ago an application was
made for the survey of township 3S,
range 3 west. in the Coeur D'Alene
which the commissioner of the general
land office refuses to grant, excepting
section /, on the ground that the set
tiers are living up to the letter but not
the spirit of the homestead law. The
following is incorporated in the report
to the land commissioner, made by L.
e. Wilkes. who says:
''The land is generally mountainous
and rough. though much of the surface
could be cultivated if other conditions
were favorable. This is essentially
timber land and believe is taken by
the several settlers with the intention
OF living ur to the letter of the law,
sufficient to obtain title to their claims,
but the conditions of the settleme nts,
the character of the lands and the
anxiety of the settlers for immediate
survey. convince me that compliance
with the spirit of the homestead law
is, in a large proportion of cases ct
least, not contemplated. ("
He recommends it be not surveyed.
He states that much of the land is
under cultivation, log cabins 1922
feet are constructed and some have
lived there for number of years.
This decision affects large number of
settlers who were anxious for filings.

Deer Plentiful in Idaho.

State Auditor Robert S. Bragaw
states that he has heard that the Priest
river country, in what is now part
of Bonner county, is full of deer, says
the Idaho Statesman. He says the
reason for this is the great decrease in
the number of cougars brought about
by the payment of a bounty on them
by the state. The number of deer, it
is stated by local sportsmen, had been
steadily growing less in the north of
the state up to within hvs years ago.
Since that time the enforcement of the
game laws and the offering of a
bounty on the wild beasts that prey
upon them has allowed their mum bers
to again increase until they are now
comparatively plentiful.

FIftr Mile. 10 Mnrlre,.

It is not an uncommon thing In
France to see farmer forty or City
miles from home In wet weather with
a load. II he sees a prospect of a
three days rain, he puts his tarpaulin
over his load, a cover over his horses
and a waterproof coat on and starts
of to market. He may go fifty miles
before he finds market that suits him.
or he may know In advance just where
he is going. You do not often see any
body driving fifty miles through rain
storm in the United States to find u
market for load of hay, but It is not
uncommon TO see farmers wagons for
ty or ifty miles from home in France.
They choose the wet weather for that
purpose. Their roads are just as good
then as at any time.

When Alphonse Daudet brought- out

house that issued religious books, not
knowing Its character. offered Al. Dau.
Diet a large sum for advance sheets of
the work He accepted the otter, and
the advance sheets were sent. When
the publishers received them they de
cided that they could not issue the
book. and they cabled to the author,
"'Sappho' win not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet. He consulted with
numbers of friends. and this was the
conclusion at which they eventually
arrived: "Sappho" in French is spelled
with one "p"-"Sapho." after the Greek
fashion. In English It is spelled with
two. An unusually acute friend point
ed this out to Daudet, which much re
lfeved the novelist. and he cabied back
TO the publishers, Spell 1t with two
p's." 1t is needless to state that the
publishers were more astonished at
Daudets reply than he had been at
their cable dispatch.

Election to the exclusive clubs Of

They must write to all their friends
and ask them to support their cundi-
dates. When the election takes place,
they must not only be in the room, but
approach each member individually as
he comes up TO the ballot box and ask
him for his support.
When the member has been elected,
he arrives the FIRST day as a kind OF
stranger and with his hat in hand. He
is then formally introduced by one of
his prOposers to each member sepa-
rately who happens to be In the room
at the time. On the second occasion
he has ceased to be a stranger and may.
leave his hat in the hall, but lie Is still
expected to go round the room with

WORKS OF A WATCH.
All the Part. Are but the E4pres.io,
of One idea.

All the Parts Are but the Expression
Of One idea.
To one who has never studied the
mechanism of a watch It's handspring
or the balance wheel is a mere piece Of
metal. He may have looked at the face
Of the watch. and while he admires the
motions OF its hands and the time It
keeps he may have wondered In idle
amazement as to the character OF the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take 1t to pieces and show him each
part separately, and he win recognize
neither design nor adaptation nor reia-
ton between them, but put them to-
gether. set them to work, point out the
offices of each spring, wheel and cog.
explain their movements and then
show him the result. Now he perceives
that 1t is all one design; that, notwlth-
standing the number OF parts, their d.
verse forms and various offices and the
agents concerned, the whole piece Is OF
one Idea. BE now rightly concludes
that when the handspring was fashion
ed and tempered its relation to all the
other parts must have been considered;
that the cogs on this wheel are cut and
regulated-adapted-to the ratchets on
that, etc, and his final conclusion will
be that such piece OF mechanism
could not have been produced by
chance, for the adaptation OF the parts
is such as to show it to be according to
design and obedIent to the win of one
intelligence.
