the Vancouver team. Elsey has been

his system but this now Is pretty
well overcome and Elsey is feeling
like he did in the old days. There
is some talk of making an umpire

NICEPRESENTF0 FOR
TRACTION CO.

The council tonight will consider
the Traction Co.'S proposition to
vacate certain streets and alleys
near Recreation park which, with
several other blocks in the east end
of tie city, is owned by the COM
pany. 1t is proposed next year to
build white city" out there and
make the section the playground of
the people on Sundays. The COM
pany does not offer the city cent
for several thousand dollars worth
of property. By law, any vacated
streets or alleys reverts to abutting
property. The city has in some in
stances accepted bonus for vaca-
tions, but it seems that everything
is framed up to make the Traction
Co. a big present in this instance.

There is a patent churn that rocks
the baby's cradle; pocketbook that
combines a pistol, SO that when the
highwayman demands your money or
your life, you can send him to king
dom come while in the seeming act
Of handing him your valuables. This
idea may have been plagiarized from
the cannop-plow. which was brought
forward in the early days for the use
of pioneers on praiie farms In the time
Of Indian uprisings. When the in
dustrious tiller OF the soil was inter-
rupted by bad Indians determined to
take his scalp. he merely had to turn
his pillow about, pull the lanyard and
greet the astonished enemy with a
load OF grape or shrapnel.
Rubber Sidewalk.
The story is told of an Iowa man
who patented an India rubber side
walk. After much lobbying with his
friends among the town council he
was allowed to put down several yards
of 1t as an experiment. As noise
absorber it proved most effective, and
the early demonstrations seemed to
be living down all skepticism in re-
gard to it SO rapidly that the inven-
tors fortune was all but made. Then
the inventor made a fatal blunder. To
show how solid and strong it was,
he began jumping up and down on it
with his whole weight. The walk could
not forget that it was still rubber, and
when the ambitious inventor planked
his heels into it he was promptly
pitched over the fence into brier
patch. The episode proved such Joke
that the budding popularity of the
new idea began to wane, and there
are still no rubber sidewalks in Iowa.
Another happy idea that came 70
grief was the adjustable pulpit brought
out by Texas inventor. An observ-
ing member of certain congregation
in the Lone Star state noticed that
some of their preachers were tall and
some were short; SO he conceived the
idea of making an adjustable pulpit,
which would accommodate itself to all
heights. The first preacher to use the
automatic device was a short man,
and the inventor was on hand and
took his measure to a nicely. Later,
when six-foot pastor came on, the
inventor had the grip and could not
go to church. The pulpit was set for
his short predecessor and nobody
could do thing with it. The inventor
had insisted that his device was easy
enough to manipulate, but it proved
most stubborn and would not submit
to readjustment. The tall man start
ed in with it, and it was so low that
in reading his text he had to stoop
over almost as much as II his book
were placed on a chair. When he be-
gan to preach he was getting along
we'll enough until he suddenly stamped
his foot to emphasize a point. His
action released the spring in the floor
and the pulpit shot upward until It
completely hid the preacher from the
view of his hearers. H. .~axui.

Another event of the first day meet
ing was an address by John McVicor,
of New York City, secretary and
treasurer of the American Municipal
Federation. His address was a mas
terful analysis of the various kinds
of municipal governments of the
United States, his final conclusion be-
ing that men rather than measures
worked municipal reform. However,
a city government should be adopted
which would make it easy to select
good practical men.
The meeting last night at which
Senator Hansbrough spoke, was a
great success. The armory in which
the meeting was held was packed with
an enthusiastic crowd.
Following the public meeting, a
banquet was held which was one of
the most delightful events in the his
tory of Valley City, the citizens simply
outdoing themselves in their efforts to
make the event worthy of the city. and
to give the large number of repre-
sentative citizens present an under
standing of the real greatness of the
city. And they succeeded admirably.
This morning Senator Hansbrough
addressed the students of the normal
school, where reception such as
President Mcfarland, his efficient as
sistants and the students of that in
stitution alone can extend, was given
him.
