Seeking Direct Line to Los Angeles

Southern Pacific demand the virtual
elimination of grades, even though this
involves the building OF costly tunnels.
Battle Mountain has the advantage OF a
right of way from Austin that could be
converted into the roadbed OF modern
double track trunk line.
Winnemucca. however. is said to
have the advantage over the other sur
yeyed routes. according to statements
of men who have worked on the survey.
The grades are light and curvature
nominal. while this selection would re-
duce the western haul by the distance
to Hazen.
The plans under adyisement contem-
nlate the abandonment of direct line
from that point, passing through Coal
dale ON the Tonopah and Goldfeld road.
The value Of the Carson and Colorado
does not cut any figure in the caicuia-
tions. as that line has never paid operat'
ing expenses.

two days later the couple left for Los
Angeles. After a short stay in the
southern city they proceeded to Tacoma,
where they separated, Parkinson going

visit to her folks, near Minneapolis.
According to the story.of Mrs. G. Basser.
proprietress of the fat in which the
Parkinsons lived during their stay at
Berkeley, she had never known Of any
trouble between the couple. She said
that Parkinson had introduced himself
as Goldfield broker and declared that
he controlled extensive mining holdings

Wasting Valuable Time.

An old farmer died in little vii
lage in the neighborhood of Paris.
His fortune, the fruit of years of
patient toll, was invested in a nice
compact little farm. A nephew of
the departed, believing himself to
he heir, called a few days later on
the LAWYER and before saying a word
about the succession thought it only
right and proper to shed a few
tears.
"Poor unclew he murmured. $50
kind, SO affectionate-to think that
| shall never see him again"
The notary allowed the young
man to give full vent to his sorrow
full emotions, after which he quiet
ly observed:
II suppose you are aware that
your uncle has left you nothing"
"What" exclaimed the nephew,
suddenly changing his tone. 'T'm
not down in the will? Then why
on earth did you let me stand
weeping there and making fool of
myself for a good half hour Pr

This is the tallest corn story of the
season, and is being told among the
travelling men over the state Of Mis-
souri,. 1t is said to have been in a
letter written home by an eastern
visitor: Most Of the Kansas streets
are paved, grains Of corn being used
for cobblestones, while the cobs are
followed out for sewer pipe. The
husk, when taken off whole and
stood on end, makes nice tent for
the children to play in. 1t sounds
queer to hear the man tell the driver
to take dozen grains Of horse feed
over to Jackson's livery stable. II
it were not for the soft deep soil here
! don't see how they would ever
harvest the corn, as the stalks would
grow up as high in the air as a
Methodist church steeple. However,
when the ears get too heavy, their
weight presses the stalk down in the
ground on an average Of ninety-two
feet; and thus brings the ear near
enough to The ground to be chopped

That raid made late last week
on the gamblers at Grangeville
looks much as if it had been
done for political effect, coming
as it did just before election. A
similar raid was made last fall
inst before the general election.
The gambling law is on our
statute for enforcement every
day in the week-not periodical
ly. If it can be enforced for
special occasions it can and
should be enforced all the time.
Too many of our laws are not
enforced until some special &C.
casion demands and this is in
great part responsible for the
attitude Of the people in disre-
garding them. Laws are made
to be enforced and should be en-.
forced to the letter. Not some
OF the laws-but all of them. Ii
this were done those that are
found to be insufficient or not
what the people want can be re-
pealed instead OF being disre-
garded.-Camas Prairie Chroni-

Advertising.

If there is one business on earth
that gutter should leave severely
alone, it is advertising" says John
Wannamaker. ITO make success
of advertising, one must be prepared
to stick to it like barnacle on a
boats bottom. He should know be-
fore he begins it, that he must spend
money-considerable of it. Some
body should tell him that he cannot
hope to reap results commensurate
with his expenditure early in the
game. Advertising doesn't jerk; it
pulls, says Newspaperdom. 1t begins
very gently at first, but the pull is
steady. 1t increases day by day, and
year by year, until it exerts an ire
sistible power. 1t is likened to a
team pulling a heavy load. A
thousand spasmodic, jerky pulls will
not bulge the load while one-half the
power exerted in steady effort will
start and keep it moving. There are
three ways to make advertising pay,
and these are the only ways. There
are no others. First, it is to keep at
it; second. is to keep at it; third. is
to keep at it.

THE STEALTHr TIGER.
When Hs Moves Quietly Death Does

When 10 Moves Quietly Death Does
Not Seem More Silent.
have seen a tiger. sitting up
hundred yards from me in the sun
light washing his face like cat,
move couple of steps into the
;hade and fade away like the Chesh-
re cat in "Alice In Wonderland"
But what is more extraordinary is
that he can "move without some
dry leaf or stalk cracking to be-
tray" him. Often in beat in the
middle of the hot season the mex
perienced sportsman's heart is in
his mouth as he hears the crushing
of o dead leaf, the slow. stealthy
tread of what seems some heavy
animal, but it is only "moa," the
peacock, the first to move ahead of
the heaters. Then after a period Of
strained watching, when the eye
can and does detect the move of
the tiniest bird, the culver Of
leaf, suddenly without a sound the
great beast stands before you. He
does not always care to move quiet
ly, but when he does death is not
more silent.
The question of how white or
otherwise abnormally marked tiger
can take its prey is simplified by
the fact that, as a general rule, the
tiger kills at night or at dawn or
dusk and that it is only the cattle
killing tiger that takes his lordly
toll Of the village cattle by day.
Again that wonderful voice, the
most mournful sound in captivity,
(which literally bushes the jungle
and fills the twilight with horror"
is a powerful aid to him in his
hunting. Often as ! have heard it
the memory of one occasion is as
vivid as the moment when it held
me spellbound. was stalking
sambhur in the evening in a glade
in rhc forest when suddenly, from
not fifty yards above me, rang out
a long, low, penetrating moan,
which seemed to fill the jungle
with terrifying thrill and for a
moment made the heart stand still.
The native shikari, who, in spite Of
Mowgli's contempt, may know
something of jungle ways, believes
that the deer, hearing the tigers
voice and unable from the rever-
berating nature Of the sound to To-
cate the position of their enemy,
stand or lie still and SO give him
the chance Of stalking his prey.
There is probably some truth in
this, for unless you are following
the tiger and have seen him it is al
most impossible from the sound
alone to tell with any certainty
where he is.-Algernon Durand in
London Times.
