For Three More Years.

Wednesday evening by a deci-
sive vote Camp Stonewall Jack
son selected Canyon City as the
place for their annual reunions
for three more years.
Only one other point was nom
inated-Amarillo. That enter
prising city was put in nomlna-
ton by Mrs. K. W. Morgan and
its claims urged by Mayor Lon
D. Marrs and Joe ISaacs. ANA
rillo, thru these representatives,
offered the veterans all the build
ings they wanted; all the furnish
ings they desired, free quarters,
free bedding, free eating and
drinking, free bus fare and car
fare and everything else they
asked for. 1t was magnificent
offer and rendered by RESPONSE
BILE parties, but no use, for when
the poll was taken Amarillo only
got three votes, the balance all
being for Canyon City.
All the old officers were re
elected by reclamation.

To Organize New Lodge.

Henry w. Osborn, deputy supreme
chief ranger of the Universal Order
of Foresters, arrived in jackson early
this week, for the purpose of organic
ing lodge of this order in this city.
This is fraternal annuity society,
with headquarters in Los Angeles,
where 1t started a few months ago,
and has already extended to most Of
the large cities of the state. 1t offers
accident benefits of 80. 80 per week
upward, according to the amount of
insurance taken out. also total dis
ability benefits, and the full amount
of certificate at death. Mr. Osborn
expects to remain here for several
weeks. He has no doubt that strong
lodge can he organized here, and he
will stay until it is fully started and
in good working shape.

The Public Cemetery.

One of the vital questions that
clamoTed for settlement when the
city was incorporated was the CON
dition of the public cemetery. 1t
never has had no recognized head to
take charge of it and keep it in any
thing like decent condition. Year
after year it has been lett for some
one to start out with a petition to
collect few dollars to pay the water
rates, and keep the weeds from
celebrating the graves entirely.
Some time ago the city trustees ap-
pointed committee to look into the
matter. We presume they made re-
port, and that is about all that has
been done. No step has been made
toward getting new burial ground
or to place the old one on business
like footing.
The matter of providing water fees
and meeting other expenses is again
under discussion. Encouraged by
the SUCCESS he met with last year on
this mission, II. s, Pitois has started
out to collect, and has met with good
encouragement. He says the water
rates are paid for the current year,
but 200 feet of pipe and three more
MIGRANTS will be needed for the water
system, also general cleaning up of
brush and rubbish done, so that the
graveyard can be placed in shape for
the usual exercises of decoration day.

Earl 3. Hough
Becomes Inventor.

Earl b. Hough, who is we'll known
in this section through his connection
with the Eilers Music Company of
Stockton, has invented patent valve
arrangement for self-playing pianos,
together with a big Improvement on
the endless roll device for the music.
He has formed company for the
manufacture Ut the devices. The
valve device is much simpler than
that now in use on the playing
pianos, and is not likely to get out of
order. The device for the endless
roll IS much simpler and more effect
i've than the one now in use.

StoCkmen Meet.

Monday morning the Amador and
El Dorado Stockmen's Association
met in the court house with G. IL.
Culbert IN the chair, and W. b. Finn
acting as secretary. About forty
members we're present, a number of
whom we're from Ell Dorado county.
This meeting was supposed to have
been called in November but for
various reasons it was postponed.
The next regular meeting will be held
in April. According to an amend e
ment to the bylaws passed at this
session instead of meeting semi
annually, in November and April,
the association will hold one meet
ing, which after some discussion was
decided should be held on the last
Tuesday in January. 1t was decided
to frame petition to put before the
next legislature, requesting them to
make better regulations in regard to
estray animals. AS the law stands
now, man passing through one
county from another and losing some
Of his cattle stands very little chance
of ever getting them back. A man
taking up an estray is supposed to
give written notice to the county
recorder, describing the animal, with
brands and marks, and when he took
it up. 1t the animal in not called
for within a stated time 1t is sold at
public auction by the constable, who
has posted three notices to that
effect. 1t was the opinion of those
present that there should Ee state
official who would receive reports
from all the recorders of the estrays
that are reported to him, with their
marks and brands. 1t should be his
duty to have a record of all brands
that are registered and in that way
he could notify the proper owner, no
matter where he might live. 1t was
also brought out that these estray
notices should be advertised in the
papers for certain length of time.
1t was voted upon and passed that
the secretary be allowed $40 year
for past services and the same amount
in the future. An amendment was
passed that instead of always meeting
in jackson. as was decided upon
when the body was organized. the
mem bers should decide at each meet,
ing where the next should be. As
the first year has not yet elapsed the
next meeting will be held in jackson.
A number of applicants we're admit
ed to membership.
AS bad been announced, supervisor
t'lintham of this reserve was present
and instructed the members in their
rights, and the regulations of the
forest reserve by the government. lie
stated that as soon as the association
had the required fifty one per cent OF
the stockmen in this district that
there would be certain privileges
given to the body. With those who
joined the day Of the meeting, it
was thought the required number has
been secured. The secretary was in
structed to prepare list of the mem
ership and forward to Mr. Flintham.
After all the business of the aasocia-
tion had been thrashed out, the
boundaries of the ranges we're gone
over and adjusted satisfactorily to
everyone

CONQUEST OF AIR
IS MINE, SAYS
ELIZABETH MAN
Initiating Birds, Carl Semreu Be-
iieves He Has Solved Prob
lem Of the Age.
KEEPS INVENTION GUARDED
BY SEVERAL FIERCE DOGS
Wants Uncle Sam to Purchase
Machine He Has Worked
Ten Years to Perfect.
From a stan CORRESPONDENT

ELIZADEIR, July 21.--"Yes, | have
conquered the air. after working at the
problem for nearly ten years." said
Carl Semreu, Eiizabetl}'s airship inven-
tor, when questioned today about his
machine by 4 representative of THE
EVENING STAR.
Mr.. Semreu stood in front of the lit
tie one-story shop, 66S Norwood ter
race, in which he has worked day and
night on the creation of his airship,
and which he keeps constantly guarded
against intruders by several ferocious
bulldogs, Judging from the appear
anee of the dogs who were prowling
and growing around as MIR. Semreu
talked to the interviewer, there is small
danger of his invention being stolen.
The inventor has used in his machine
the principal of the wings and tall of
the larger creatures of the air. and the
compile of wings, tail and body of the
machine does not look unlike a mon
ster bird.
The wings of the machine are made
of ord~inary-sized steel wire held to-
gether by rods of brass. These are to
be covered with layers of silk and rub
Der, the brass rods controlling the
wings being worked by levers from the
body of the machine. These wings
measure seven and one-half feet each,
and weigh nine and one-half pounds
apiece. The body of the contriyance
is an elliptical wooden hoop, about three
feet long and two feet wide, to which
are fastened the numerous rods, pulleys
and levers with which the machine is
controlled. Hanging directly under
this hoop Is suspended, by straps. a
roomy chair for the operator. COM
pleting the device Is a sheet iron tail
which is attached to the after part of
the bird" To this tail is fastened the
steering device.
Mr.. Semreu's hopes of the invention
being a success are all based on the
performance of a model. an exact
counterpart of the machine he is now
building, In shape and proportion.
When this miniature machine was suo-
jected to a rigid test it responded to
every demand AS Mr.. Semreu has
figured, the machine. which weighs 40
pounds, will carry a load Of 900 pounds.
Il am positive that my machine will
fly" says Mr.. Semreu. Il lave not set
been approached by anyone with an
offer to purchase my invention. In The
advent of any of the governments at
tempting to buy. I shall give the
United States the preference. no mat
ter how much I ma be offered by any
foreign nation. 1 am a German by
birth, but I am now, by reason of long
residence. an American heart and soul
/ should like to realize about 500, 900 on
the invention"
Semreu came to this country In 1877.
He has lived with his wife at his pres
ent home in Elizabeth about six years,
being employed as a machinist In the
Stephenson Car Works. The machine
will not be ready to make its first
flight until about September 10.
