BRYAN SAYS TAFT
DODCED ISSUES

WAHOO. Neb., Oct. 14.-On the
tour of his own state yesterday
w. J. Bryan made 25 speeches of
various lengths. mostly to the
farmers. He accused Taft of fail
ure to deliver his usual speeches
in this part of the country. He
said:
''He did not discuss the guaranty
of bank deposits. doubtless because
he was informed that the people
of Nebraska are in favor of the
guaranteeing of bank deposits. His
appeal was to the farmers and it
was based upon the fact that the
farmers have had good crops and
fair prices. But did the republican
party give you good crops? All
who think the republican party is
responsible for good crops should
thank the republican party. Those
who believe. as we do, that the

81 don't like the way the board
of works Is acting. 1t looks to me
like it is DESTROYS of blocking the
city engineer" said Councilman
Schiller last night when a COM
munication was received from the
board asking that the authority
given to Engineer Ralston to hire
his bridge plans exported be re-
voked and that the board be given
authority to hire the exporting.
Commissioner O'Brien was asked
for an explanation and said he did
not vote in favor of the action.
The boards request was not
granted.
A look behind the scenes dis
closes bad state of affairs which
exists where the board of works
and the city engineer are con-
cerned. Differences of opinion be-
tween John Wetzel. member of the
board, who Is an engineer, and J.
G. Ralston, city engineer, has
reached a point where the one is
ready at all times to get into an
argument with the other. Added
to this condition is the further fact
that Mr.. Wetzel is considered a
Spokesman Review appointee. The
Spokesman-Review Is making a
fight for concrete bridges, in addi-
ton to It's general direction of pub
lie affairs. The city engineer is
generally supposed to favor steel,
although he denies it. He has hired
j. A. l.. Waddell, steel expert, to
expert city bridge plans. Waddell,
however. is capable of doing con-
crete exporting, too. and exported
the Mission avenue concrete
bridge. But as between concrete
and steel, Waddell is a steel man.

IDE AVENUE GHOST
HAUNTS THEM

The proposition Of the North
Coast railway people to give the
city street SO feet north of Ide
avenue and close Ide met with
opposition from property owners in
that section Of the city. They OBJ
jected to the council granting any
privileges to the company before
the latter had first settled with
them. The entire matter was
again referred to the street COM
mittee, though not without a
small ruction. Councilman Os-
trander tried to get out of it by
asking that a special committee
of three be assigned to the task of
doing the Solomon act between the
railroad and irate property owners.
"A lot of i'll feeling has been in
gendered over this thing" de-
clared Mr.. Ostrander. Neither
the members of the street commit
tee nor the councilmen from that
section should be on the commit
tee"
Yes, 1t comes up here like
Banquo's ghost" put in Council
man Schiller.

mittee to make some report in the

not try to shift it's duties to some
one else's shoulders" said Coun-
Gilman Baldwin.

HOSPITAL GETS

The question of the exchange of
the site of the proposed new isola-

the total mill value of the lumber,
lath, and shingles each year produced
is not less than 800, zoo, 900. These
figures give some idea Of how vast is
the lumber industry and how great is
the demand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing
OF white pine and oak, one the greatest
softwood and the other the greatest
hardwood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut of white
pine has fallen off more than 40 per
cent, while that on white oak has fallen
off more than SO per cent To-day
yellow pine leads all other woods in
amount cut, while Douglas fr-and
this will be surprise to many-comes
second. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas
fir has increased 1876 per cent. Louis
lana is the foremost yellow pine State.
with Texas, Mississippi and Arkan
sas following in order. Washington
produces by far the greatest amount
of Douglas FIR.
A comparison of the lumber produc-
States shows that since 1899 there
have been many changes in their rela-
tive rank. Washington, which in
1899 stood sixth, now leads, while
Wisconsin, which eight years ago led
all others, is now third. In the same
period Oregon, Louisiana, MISSISSIPPI
pi, Idaho, and California made great
strides as lumber-producing States,
though, on the other hand, the amount
produced in Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Georgia, Kentucky, Ten
lessee, Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio
ell off anywhere from 90 to 81 per
cent.
The highest-priced native woods are
walnut, hickory, and ash, and the
cheapest are larch and white fir.
from the fact, however, that since |
899 the average increase in the price |
IF lumber has been 40 per cent, it will
lot be long before cheap woods are
ew and far between.

An Odd Custom Observed In England
at Christmas Time.

.
at Christmas Time.
Happy months is the name applied
to the little mince pies made at Christ
mas time throughout England and
served to any guests who may call at
the house during the holidays.
The saying is that for every one of
these tiny pies one eats q happy month
will come during the year, only the
pies must be given to the one who
eats them.
When one calls at the house the little
pies are brought forth with a glass of
wine or a cup Of tea, and. however
well satisfied one may already be as
regards ones appetite or how many of
these happy month" pies he has al
ready eaten, it is considered a marked
breach of etiquette to refuse the little
pie, although one is allowed to take it
home and eat it later This, however.
Is not very often done, for who would
refuse the coming of a happy month
by refusing to overtax the stomach for
Just one more little pie?
In some parts of England these little
pies are literally made by the dozen,
SO there will be plenty of them for
family and friends. They are made of
the richest OF puff paste, too, which, at
the best of times, is an indigestible
goody, and the crust is filled with
mince meat filling that is even richer
than the ycrust.-Suburban Life.

was called to the presidency. AS
president he lead the great reforma-

an heroic attempt TO reform the tariff;
but was defeated by benefciaries of

high places. AS a reformer Grover

THE CONTEST OF 1908.

The Washington Post predicts that
Hughes will secure the Republican
presidential nomination. The contest,
the Post says, has already narrowed
down to Taft against the field; that
Taft is not strong enough to win on
the first ballot; and that Hughes, who
is now second in the race, will in all
probability, after a few ballots, be
nominated.
Such an outcome would be a defeat
for the administration in the conven-
ton, and Hughes would go before the
Country as candidate OF the reaction
aries. And with strong candidate
and sound platform the Democrats
would carry the country.

to syllogiSm, feeds on emotion, sleeps
with one eye open. gathers strength

RumOr is like Santa Claus. We know
its general tendencies, but not its sIe-
cttic origin. All we know of Rumor is
from hearsay. No one has ever been
arrested for stealing it, as the original
owner is always unwilling to claim it.
Rumor is predatory. Its chief quar-
rieS are lovers married or SINGLE,
preachers, social leaders, policemen,
politicians and people Its bitterest
foe is Rumor- Therefore Rumor should
always be treated homeopathically.
