JOURNEY IN BABY BUeeIEs.
New York To Paris No More Probable
Says An Editorial Sage.

AT dinner in Paris the other day
a party of enthusiastic automobilists
projected a motor trip from New
York to Paris, says p Cleveland
Leader ed torial
The scheme is to run through the
United States to British Columbia,
thence to Alaska. The plan calls for
crossing Behring Strait on the ice.
and, this engineered, scooting over
the steppes of Siberia into Russia and
then into Paris, as easy as you please.
Now the fact that the idea came up
at dinner-in particular a dinner in
Paris-explains a good deal. 1t is
really wonderful what good dinner
win bring forth--if you expect
speeches. One has been known to
wrap q score Of squbblins nations in
a dense cloud Of peace. Ideas as himsy
as dreams have been worked out into
realities under the inspiration of an
excellent chef. Distance and tine are
eliminated with the wave Of the hosts
hand. Such things as mountain ranges
dwindle to the proportions Of prairie

FENCE OF GUN BARRELS.
Ancient Government Arms Ornament
a Georgetown (va.) Home.


Historic old Georgetown, Va. lays
claim to the only fence in the world
built of gun barrels, and there is little
reason to doubt that this ciain will go
undisputed, says the Kansas City
Times.
More than half century ago there
lived in Georgetown lock and gun
smith named Reuben Daw, whose shop,
was on NJ street, in the business sec
ton. His large shop was packed with
all kinds of pistols, guns and knives,
which he had bought at different times,
and many a trusty firearm bought
| from him may yet be found in the old
homes of Georgetown. These old citi-
Gems will say, 81 bought that gun from
Rube Daw long before the war, and
she's as good as the day bought It,
There are old citizens who will re-
member the armory established at
Harper's Ferry by the United States.
Here was made the first breech load
ing rifles, but which proved rather
tricky and dangerous weapons. Other
makes of guns were turned out at the
arsenal to take the place of the Han
rifles, as these we're called in and
! stored.
Ter the government decided to-
! dispose of the worthless guns at the
armory, and public auction was held.
Reuben Daw, the Georgetown gun
smith, attended the sale and bought
large number of the guns, having them
shipped to his home. He sold few
of them and then decided TINT he
would utilize the stock on hand in
building fence around his two houses
at the corner of Twenty-eighth and p
streets, he then occupying the resi-
! dence Immediately on the northwest
corner. Mr. Daw took the barrels
from the stocks, and placed In the
! end of each barrel a forked fancy top
ping, thus making upright iron ana
steel pickets, about as substantial and
| fences around the old mansions In
Georgetown. He mad the posts and
other~portions of the fence manufac
tured to order and with his own hands
he did the larger part of the work in
putting up his gun-barrel fence, which
today is in almost perfect condition.
| On some of the old barrels may yet
be seen the sights, but most OF them
have been broken off by souvenir
hunters, as have also been taken
away many of the top pieces. The
two splendid old brick and stone
dwellings are occupied by the fami-
lies of Charles and Edward Daw, sons
of the man who built the historic
fence.

inefficient in meeting the demands OF
present day trade for prompt COM
munication, but also interfere with
the operation of fast through freights,
resulting in the congestion of traffic
which has been SO much complained
OF by shippers and railway men alike.
"All over southern New England,
says Mr.. Mayo. the trolley express is
being introduced to take the place OF
the numbering way freigh. and of the
wagon express which was able to com
pete with it, but is now being aband-
oned before the competition of cleo
trieity. There are everal of these troll
ley express lines operating from New
Haven. One of them runs over a loop
which extends northward to Water
bury. Freight moving between these
two cities by steam train formerly re-
quired from two to four days to reach
it's destination, most of the time be-
ing consumed in stop-overs on sidings,

The Japanese Are Human.

New York Evening Post-We have
not given up hope that the time VIII
come when the Japanese will be Is
garded by the white man as only hui
man, after all. When their govern.
ment signs an unsatisfactory treaty,
they riot; when they take possessiun
of q conquered country like Korea,
they play the bully: when their crops
fail, they starye, and often emigrate.
Best proof Of all concerning their sus-
ceptibility to human weakness, when
we slapped them on the back two
years ago and told them they were
the greatest people on earth, they be-
lieved us.

in the next half century, according to
well advanced in New England which
as the most thickly populated section
of the country naturally leads the way.
It will spread to other parts of the
country as the growth in density OF
population, the increase of cities and
towns in close proximity to one an
other, and the expansion of suburban
development continue. Charles S.
! Mellen, president of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad is
the pioneer in this. new era of inten-
I sive railroading in the opinion of Mr.
! important in an article which appears
| in Appletons Magazine for February.
Taking the railway to the people, .
is really the phrase to describe the
expansion of transportation facilities
Mayo, who describes the various new
plans of operation which Mr.. Mellen is
putting into effect to bring the rail-
way closer 10 the people.
The two mechanical factors of prim-
airy importance in effecting the
changes are electricity and the Trail
The Importance of the former comes
from the fact that cars can run either
singly or in trains so that much more
frequent operation over more varied
routes become possible. With the
( demonstration that Trails can be laid
in city streets without interfering
With the use of the roadway by
wagons, it becomes possible to oper-
ate the same cars in public thorough
fares and, where high speed is neces-
sary, over private rights of way.
| The combination of the two makes it
certain that in the future the sub
urbanite will be able to take a ca
near his home in the country town
that will convey him without change
to a point convenient to his Office in
the city, reducing very considerably
the time of the journey as made at
present and also lessening the ex-
pense.
In thinly inhabited districts, the Ap-
pletens article points out, where
steam roads would find it improbable
10 operate. the railway will be taken
to the people through the merium Of
electric feeders, such as the elaborate
system of lines proposed in western
Massachusetts at cost of $10000,000.
Such lines can be run probably only
as part of a comprehensive transpor-
tation system where they will benefit
the system as a whole by the growth
of traffic they create.
Another interesting project of the
future viii be the operation of an in
Interchangeable steam and electric serv-
ice over the same tracks, the electric
trains taking care of local business
while steam continues to handle the
through or long-haul traffic. Mr..
Mayo does not agree with those who
expect to see the steam locomotive be-
come as extinct as the dodo within
the next few years. He holds tat
the perfecting process in the apph-
cation of the newer form Of power
must continue over a long period be
fore the superiority of electricity
where sustained speed is required for
long distances is conclusively attained.
Ir the field of freight handling the
same process Of taking transportation
facilities direct to the people is TO
occur. Electric freight expresses viii
take the place of way freight trains
operated by steam. which are not only

Special Notice.

During the financial panic many manu-
facturers and wholesalers did not receive
their customary orders from retail mer-
chants throughout the country for spring
delivery.
The effect of this condition of affairs is
that they found themselves heavily over
stocked with spring goods.
As a result of this condition they were
compelled to dispose of stocks and real
lZe cash in order to pay their bills.
which was done through the medium of
auction sales.
Two mammoth auction sales We're held
in New York this week-One of Dress
Goods and one of Silks. We attended
both sales and secured many wonderful
bargains. which are set forth in todays

The annual report of the board Of
Copper has been received by local
shareholders. This company owns "A
large group of claims in Bingham
adjoining the domains of the Utah
Copper company, but up to the present
time the venture has not proved very
profitable. In addition to the Blng-
ham claims the Shawmut company has
been operating the Sedalia mine, near
Saltda, Colo. under Il bond and lease
Referring TO the Bingham properties
the report says;
Title has been taken to the Mirror
claim, the balance of $4,000 remaining
unpaid at the time at the last annual
report having been paid when it be-
came due. The company's counsel at
Salt Lake city reports that he has ar
ranged sale of surface rights i'm house
lots to squatters for a sum aggregat-
ing about $500 and that he expects
TO deliver the necessary deeds and make
the collections early during the com.
ing summer.
The work of driving the tunnel was
suspended May 81, 1907. At that time
1,9201O feet had been driven at

BULLOCK STRIKE
IS IMPORTANT
AspinWalI Vein Encountered on
The One Hundred Fifty
Foot Level.
CREATES DEMAND FOR STOCK
y Talk with President Bullocis--Vcin
Opened Into Distance of
Four Feet.

According to advices received from
Tintic carly in the day, what bears ali
the appearances of an important strike
has been made in the Bullock mine in
the southeastern end of the district.
As soon as the news leaked out orders
for the stock poured in and within
scarcely less time than it takes to tell
1t brokers were bidding 10 cents and
better for it.
w +. Silver who is the holder of a
large stock interest in the mine, was
in communication with President b.
il. Bullock at the mine and received
confirmation of the report which had
already gained wide circulation about
the street
Il ascertained in the talk l had over
the wire with Mr.. Bullock" said Mr..
Silver, that the Aspenwall vein had
been cut In a drift from the 150-foot
level of the shaft in an easterly direc-
tlon.
While the find was not unexpected
by Mr.. Bullock, he told me that the
values are SO much better than any
he had anticipated that it came in the
nature of a very pleasant surprise. He
told me that the vein had been pene-
trated for a distance of four feet, with
no indication of the foot wall. The ore"
Mr.. Bullock declares, "is twice as good
as any shipped from the mine in the
past which would make it worth about
500 a ton"
The Bullock locations partially sur
round the Lady Aspinwall group which
has yielded about 100000 TO its owners
from ore shipments.
Mr.. Bullock will shortly arrange to
ship ore from the new strike TO the new
Knight smelter.
