To CaH Bond Election.

Petitions are being circulated
in Ogallah, Glencoe and River
side townships. and being gener-
ally signed, asking the county
commissioners to call special
elections for the purpose of sub
hitting to the people of those
bonds in aid of the Nebraska,
Kansas & Southern Railway Co.,
whose survey runs through the
townships named. This com
pany is chartered by the State of
Kansas to build standard guage
road from Superior, Neb., to
some point on the Gulf of Mexi-
co. That portion from Stockton
to Garden City has been survey
ed and financed and bonds have
been voted except for gap in
this and Ellis county.
The railroad company pays all
the expenses of the elections and
it would seem that there could
not possibly be any objection to
calling them and allowing the
taxpayers in the east part of the
county to say if they want this
road to be built on the present
survey.
We believe, further, that as
our friends in the east part of
the county study the matter,
figure just how much will be add
ed to their taxes and how much
the road itself will aid in paying
those taxes, and the great bene-
fit to the county of a cross road,
that they will welcome the OPP
portunity to vote the small aid
bonds asked and secure the new
road. The state law is such now
that there is no risk in voting
bonds as formerly, as the county
commissioners have no power,
even were they so inclined, to is
sue bonds before trains are run
ming on the new road. No road,
no bonds.
We are reliably informed that
the money is ready to build the
new road, and it only remains to
hold these elections, and if the
bonds are voted construction is
expected to commence imme-
diately.

Quinter Celebrates.


The little town of Quinter cele
brated the Fourth in fine style.
The town was prettlly decorated
in flags and bunting and the band
discourSed sweet strains of pat
riotic music on the still summer
air. A goodly number of out of
town visitors were present, and
the little city took on very gala
day aspect Hotels and private
homes were taxed to entertain
the crowds, but for all it was
very satisfactorily done. In the
afternoon two ball games were
played, the first between Collyer
and Quinter The score stood z
to in favor of Collyer. Several
foot races took place, after which
another ball game was called be-
tween Wa-Keeney and Quinter,
with Gove's crack pitcher in the
box, which resulted in a score of
6 to l in favor of our boys. The
days entertainment ended by a
performance of Cooks Comedy
Co., who played Railroad Jack"
to a large audience. Quinter is

Lake Tahoe.

One of the most beautiful
mountain lakes in the world lies
in the heart of the SierraS, 6,220
feet above the sea level, and is
completely hemmed in by noun
tain walls, whose ragged peaks
rise in many places to an addi-
tional height of from 1000 to
1000 feet. It is twenty three
miles wide and from 100 to 1000
feet deep. The entire region
surrounding the lake is pictur-
esque almost beyond descrip-
ton, and a never ending delight
to the eye
Lake Tahoe is easily reached
by a short side trip up the pic
turesque canyon of the Truckee
river from Truckee, California,
on the main line of THE Over

A lamentation for the good
old days" by Ancil Hatten:
How times have changed,
When we were young, people
had bad colds, soaked their feet
in hot water and got well. Now
they have grip, take quinine and
feel sick all summer Then they
had sore throat, wrapped a
piece of fat pork in an old sock,
tied it around the neck at night,
and went to work in the morn
ing. Now they have tonsilitis, a
surgical operation and two weeks
in the house. Then they had
stomach ache, took castor oil and
recovered. Now they have APP
pendicitis, week in the hospital
and six feet due east and west,
and six feet perpendicular. They
worked then, they labor now. In
those days they wore under
clothes, now they wear lingerie.
Then they went to restaurant,
now they go to a cafe. Then
they broke a leg, now they frac-
ture limb. People went crazy
then, now they have brain
storm. Politicians paid good
hard cash for support, now they
send government garden seeds.
Yes, times have changed, and we
all change with them. That's
progression.

you'll wish you had naught to do,
but loaf and smoke till the sair is

you're bald, and your knees are

while two marshals and a goodly number or

makes two trips along the beach daily. The CO.
operation of New Jersey protective assocfa-

There has been practically no trouble OF any
kind with occasional regular campers.
When the visitor was being ferried across the
Hudson from Dyckman street in a snorths
launch the rugged wall of the opposite Shore
screened with the dense foliage of trees, gave no
intimation of human occupancy. There did not
seem room even for a tent between the froWn-
ing foreheads of the cliffs and the waterline al
though the visitor had learned that the park
was as much a thousand feet wide in places
Gradually the angIed shapes of tents doomed on
a point of the misty beach and amid the under

The bathing suit is correct wear for morn

Here were no languoroUs maidcns with fluffy

gether by a fly, under which faithful wife ad-
mitted she was washing her lords shirt in

This true elysiun1, where money is barred, was
begun to be created in 1901, when the movement
TO save the Palisades from vandal Quarrymen re-
suited in the Palisades Interstate Park Commis-
sion of ten men, five appointed by the Governor
Of New Jersey and five by the Governor of New
York The commission was empowered to con-
denim and otherwise acquire the land from the
top Of the lordly cliffs to the waters edge, and
to keep the property public preserve. Year
by year new lots have been gained, until now
few private owners are found in the fourteen
mile stretch beginning a mile north of the Fort
Lee ferry.
The total expense has been under half a mill
ion dollars, and $125000 of this was contributed
by J. ?. Morgan for the purchase of the large
Carpenter quarry. a number of cottages re
main temporarily by sufferance of the commits
sion. They belong to the park and are rented
TO the former owners. A few private owners
have been holding off for big prices, although
knowing the commissions power to condemn
and that it has resolved to pay no more than
$500 an acre for land.
The commission has the intent to keep the
park in its wild state TO rocks, trees, birds
and snakes, but il plans some day to build the
finest boulevard in the world along the rocky,
bending shore. At present the water route is
the only decent one between camps, although the
sturdy, bronzed men of the park patrol manage
TO travel along narrow, steep banks, compass
swamps and thread their way among gigantic
howlders of trap rock cast down the slopes of
the lofty precipices There are four flannel
shirted patrolrnen, with silver badges hitched
to their suspenders and armed with billy and
pistol who circulate among the camps to see
that moral hygienic and other rules are obeyed'
