NEW YORK TO PARIS.
Latest Test Run Proposed the
Ereakest Ever.

Automobile Topics has the following to
say about the proposed New York to
Paris run:
NO more hair-braned, foolish and I'M
practicable proposal was ever made than
to have a contest from New York to Paris
via the North American continent. Ber-
ing strait and Asia. Yet. in spite of all,
the belief entertained in some quarters
that the wild plan might be carried to
success possesses certain amount OF
probability the more. it is examined into.
The Peking-Psris run demonstrated the
rashness OF characterizing any stunt
In which the automobile is concerned as
impossible. 1t is beginning to dawn upon
the average mind that with the youthful
automobile there is no such word as fail.
Given enough cars to reduce to mimi
mum the chances of accidents. and ade-
quate prepare tons, ii is difficult to con-
ceive feat that the automobile cannot
perform. 1t is commonly supposed that
roads of some sort are essential If the au-
tomobile is to devour space, but 1t has
been Amany times demonstrated that such
Is not the case. Before transcontinental
trips with automobiles became so common
as to excite no comment the absence OF
highways in some sections of the western
country was looked upon as an 1rremov-
able obstacle to such trips The remote
ness OF the vast eastern part of the Asian
continent, its lack of roads and facilities
for obtaining supplies. were looked upon
as making inevitable the failure of last
summers run, but such anticipations
were quickly dispelled. Similarly the talk
about employing automobiles in which to
make dashes for the pole has been re-
eeived with more or less amusement Yet
we cannot be sure that some adventurer
will not some day solve the battling prob
lem in this way.
The amount of seriousness that is
being bestowed upon the New York-Paris
run renders 1t necessary to give 1t some
features that mark 1t. and which are evil

papers back Of the venture. not only the
latter, but number of motorists as well,
are plainly in earnest about 1t. The love
of adventure and the quest of the I'M

the difficulties, many of them, If not all,
could be overcome by the expenditure of
an adequate amount of money and labor.

BIG DEMAND FOR
PRISON SACKS
OUTPUT At PENlTENTiARY JUTE
MILL EAGERLY SOUGHT
BY FARMERS.

At nine cents penitentiary sacks are
selling as fast as they are manufact-
ured. Last month the output was more
than 100000 sacks of which only 3450
were left or. Wednesday night ana
these were sold yesterday.
Under the new law the sacks are
being distributed more equally
throughout the state than in former
years, each of the outlying counties
having a proportion which they are not
slow to take advantage Of Walla Wall
la county's share of these was 66,2iG
of which all will be taken
Enough jute is on hand now at the
peniteLtiary to keep the mill running
until November at which time the
new iute for which bids have been
called for, will be on hand and the
mill will not have to be closed down
at all.
It looks now as If the price of sacks
next year will be from one to two
cents cheaper than this year. This, If
brought about, will be caused by good
crops. not only of jute, but of cotton.
When cottor. is high, jute is used for
many things usually made Of cotton.
Hence the price. Of jute follows that
of cotton At present It looks as II
the yield Of both commodities will be
above the average. If this proves So,
farmers may rejoice next year at the
price of sacks.
Nothing definite, however, can be
determined until the bids now called
for are submitted. For between this
time and that there are many things
which may cause jute to go up, ir:
which event prices will not be any
lower But from the present outlook,
and this is reasonably sure fndica-
ton at this season Of the year, the
price of sacks will drop from nine
cents to seven or eight. cents next year.

ance at the fall term of court.
AS all the alleged offenders are own
ers of more than one band of sheep
and an information was filed against
each band separately, the penalty will
be at least double on each sheepman.
The penalty is from $10O to $500.
