THOSE STREET GRADES
THE PRESENT GRADES HAVE
BEEN ESTABLISHED WITH Al
VIEW TO ECONOMY.
WHEREVER POSSIBLE THEY con-
& FORM TO IMPROVEMENTS Al
H5z READY MADE BY PROPER
-TY OWNERS. Ss

In the general discussion of the i
newly established street grades there
seems to be several things the de-
baters have not taken into considers
stion--if they are aware Of the facts
The present grades were arrived ait
several years ago for the most part,
and submitted to the council for adop-
ton. Nothing was done. Later City
Engineer Shelton was asked by the
council to make the necessary surveys
for grades, and did so, following to al
large extent in the footsteps Of his
predecessors Still later City Engi-
.neer Atkinson took the profIes Of Mr..
Shelton and went all over them with
Mr.. Shelton and endorsed the general
plan, almost if NOT entirely, and these
grades have become the official grades
of the city.
Every engineer who has had any
thing to do with the proposed estab-.
1fshment of the street grades has made
his plans with view to conforming as
near as possible to the interests Of the
property owners SO that as little dam
age as might would accrue to them.
For this. reason the present estabe
lished grades are not the ideal grades
any Of the engineers would have es-
Itablished had they had a free hand re-
gardless of the improvements in the
way Of sidewalks already laid, etc.
They have done the best they could
Ito make good streets and put the prop
erty owners to minimum expense.
To establish grades after a city has
ATTAINED such a growth as this with
out expense to anyone is an impossi-
1bility.
comparison Of the grades that
were filed with the city council in
1882 with the present grades shows
THAT if the old grade was now in force
there would be grounds for kicks il
plenty, as in most instances the cuts
and fills are much heavier than il
I the present plan and contemplate g
much greater expense than the latter
so, on the whole, the taxpayers shoule
consider that they have got out q
J the dilemma on the cheapest practica
+ basis unless they would be conten
to abide by the old COW paths of TIN
original settlers. s:tsss 4 s.s.ss

authorized to spend $1,000 for a new
trail from the Umatilla river up

of the various phases of the subject
will be one of the important subjects
for discussion at the coming meeting.

4 Novel Proposed Extension Of Fee.
eral Authority.
With the stock Of food fish in the
United States growing less each year
the proposal Of the American Fisheries
Society, made at its meeting at Erie.
that control over the rivers and lakes
be given to the Federal government. is
matter Of timely interest, says the
Philadelphia Record.
"Shad In the Delaware are less plen-
dful than ever. and the record Of other
rivers where they once abounded Is
the same" said an old fisherman the
other day. Complaint Is rife from the
Potomac to the Connecticut. The de-
pletion Of the great lakes Is deplorable.
They are growing less and less capable
Of furnishing their former supply Of
fsh.
"Of course the extension Of Federal
control Is not popular. but there seems
to be no other way Of meeting the sit
uation. Where q river, as the Della
ware, flows between two States neither
has absolute Jurisdiction, and laws
rarely dovetail so as to effect a super
vision worth the name. Moreover, arti-
acial propagation must be carried on
On a great scale and under the direc-
lion Of some authority adequate to se.
curing its full results.
1.-THE bill now being drafted by Con
gresham Shiras Of Pittsburg to be
introduced Mt the next session Of Con-
gress will doubtlessiy be opposed by
strict constructionists Of State rights.
But Its provisions will be for the gen.
sral good, and there appears to be no
other way Of securing the supply for
future generations."

"F1ight as personal matter can
never be attempted by man, for the

the bird, It IL simply the whole arm
or forelmb which is modified In tho

Of this feathered arm which propels

But the bats fight is of a different
kind. 1t calls to Its MD skinfold

mously elongated fingers, runs between

"A flying fish does not fly. It leaps
from the sea, spreading It's big breast

initial velocity It acquired In ITS pre-
liminary rush through the water Nor
do flying squirrels or flying lizards fly.
They possess folds Of skin fringlng
their bodies, which merely act as pa:s.

leaps from bough to bough.

latively enormous amount OF energy
would be required to be exerted by
man to raise him from the ground into

stances of his life. This energy 1t II

ut may be different matter when

ficient extent can be provided to assist
man in hts aerial excursions. The idea
that some personal apparatus, 50 to
speak, might enable man to convert
himself Into a fiier, has Its own attrac-
ton, and possibly the idea may take
practical shape. But the more hopeful
