Who pays the cost of the arrest, his
keeping in jail and to support the
family? The tax payer. 1t is not the
that is punished but the tax
payer who foots the bills. (Great
laughter and applause.) The speaker
would have the prisoners work on the
street and the liquor seller with them.

Saloon For Itself.

Saloon For Itself.
He spoke of the county option fight
and said that the saloon was evident
ly for itself.
AS to the price of barley or other
grains dropping in price if no liquor
should be made, he said that the per-
cent of grain used was so small that it
was nonsense to talk about.
In Beloit he said that the city had
grown from 5000 to $4,000. There
came to be 81 saloons, 81 of which
were owned by the brewers. He was
sure that the election in April will
settle the matter.
Folly of Licenss noney.
He said that "a saloons was 1900
city revenue for Beloit. By careful in
vestigatIon he said he had found that
the money going out of Beloit to the
Milwaukee and other brewers amount
ed to $270,OOO annually. The brewers
are teaches on the community. Who
is to blame? The voters. The brew
ers in Milwaukee have not made
that city famous but Infamous.
The remedy is in the education of
the child and the ballot box. He
closed by drawing a picture of the
wide sweep of reform and the driving
of the curse into the ocean.
Many times was he applauded.

ity at his desk in the department
He yields little to the dictates of fash
ion in the matter of dress, combining
himself to the garb of sober tints
but his immaculate linen, set off with
a dark tie, suggests the man who is
as unfailingly regular in his habits
of dress as in everything else that
concerns him.
The secretary, on his way to the
long service record, has figured in
public life before he came into his
present Office. He spent three terms
in congress and gained a knowledge
of official routine; then he went back
to Iowa to become professor at the
Iowa Agricultural college. Then it
was that the peculiarly appropriate
combination struck President McKin-
ley. Here was man who was a
farmer, who knew the practical side,
but who also, by reason Of his life as
pedagogue was familiar with The
scientific phrases OF farming, and
who, having served the nation in con-
gress, understood law-maling and nd
ministrative work. 1t was this excep-
tional fitness which caused him to be
appointed for the position of secre-
tary Of agriculture.

State Aid for Good Roads.

Back in Michigan they have taken
up the good roads movement on the
| basis of state aid. A single paragraph
in the Municipal Journal and Engi.
neer on the issue of November II
gives us a line on what is being
achieved on that basis. The para
| graph reads as follows:
State Highway Commissioner Ely
of Michigan says that since July he
has accepted about 100 miles of state
reward road. and that there are APP
| plications on file for about ) miles
state 60 are working for state reward
in the construction of roads For
macadam roads the state pays $1,000
per mile, and $500 for gravel roads.
The estimated cost or gravel roads is
from $500 to $500, and the macad-
am costs from $4,000 to $4,000. Two
miles of road near Munising cost
$4,000. Part of this road was
through a swamp where the muck
was four feet deep" J..
This matter is interesting in it's
details to those who are directly con-
cerned in the cause of good roads,
and really the more so, because it in
dicates that it would be we'll for good
roads activity, like charity, to begin
at home. 1t is in line with what has
been urged in this state, namely, that
the effort should be to create a home
sentiment that would lead to state
encouragement Such a movement
has all the advantages of interaction.
With state activity on the part of the
county government; and the achieve
ment of these two, when the system
became universal, or nearly so, would
make national aid the more readily
assured.
BY the Michigan method the initi-
ative lies with the people of the vari-
Gus counties. The road is surveyed
and application filed for its improve
ment under well understood state
regulation, and upon it's completion
the state reimburses the county, as
set out in the foregoing 1t is a sys-
tenn that is worth looking up by good
roads advocates in Oregon, who de-
sire to get down to practical methods
as speedily as possible.-Portland

a reclamation system, to cost from
$5,0OO,00O to 100000, projected
by ranchers Of the Horse Heaven
country and the Klickitat Power and
Irrigation company, representatives
of which have agreed upon a contract
E. d. Mineah, president of the Land
owners association, who has been at
work upon the project for two years,
says that while the contract is a COM
promise, the association received
many concessions. The canal is to be
completed within seven years, the
company agreeing to deliver a cubic
foot of water per second for each 100
acres without any qualifications, also
that the water will be measured at
the point of delivery on the land. The
notes and mortgages are not nego-

lieves the signer of all liability. The
landowners are granted a full crop

first payment to be made one year

CAPITALIST WANTS
RICH Wife

Spokane, Nov. 29.-Deeds for a
half interest in city and country
property, appraised at $250,000, will
be presented on her wedding day to
the woman selected as wife by Will
liam B. Niedermeyer, a wealthy wild
over, with offices at 52S ROokery
building, Spokane. He was born in
Newark, n j., January 81, 1851,
moved to Nebraska in 1859 and came
to Spokane in 1898. He wears full
beard and boasts that his face has
never felt the edge of razor.
Niedermeyer believes in advertis-
ing and he is using that means to find
a life-partner. Regarding the quail
fications of the bride-to-be he says
among other things:
"The woman I marry must be a
member of the Catholic church and a
good Christian; age not to exceed 35
years. She ought to have at least
as much money as / possess, though
the financial standing of the applicant
does not mean as much to me as the
term might suggest. Perhaps I will
choose a woman who hasn't a change
of clothing, or l may get one who
has $250,000 or a good p ortion of it,
Il have four children. but they
are well cared for. and they have
nothing to say as to what 1 shall do
run my own business. l gave them
each an equal amount of my prop
erty before l left Nebraska, and
have made what | own today since
coming to Spokane, II years ago.
Il expect to start on tour of the
world next spring. and, as l have
plenty of money, it will be much
more pleasant to have good company.
| am pretty hard to please for an old
fellow, but a dashing widow stands
as much chance as a young woman
with real blonde hair and pink cheeks
even though she has not a penny to
her name"
Niedermeyer said he expects to be
deluged with letters from all parts
of the United States and Canada;
but" he added, Il shall give every
application the attention it deserves,
and if the satisfactory woman ap-
pears the result probably will be mat

Representative Flood of Virginia
tells a good story in which one of the
characters was General Reuben Lind
say Walker of the Confederate army.
On one occasion the general was wait
ing for his breakfast, and his faithful
negro servant had gone to catch some
fish for the feast. When the servant
was away an unusually long time the
general called to him impatiently:
why don't you come here with
that fish, SAM"
Sam in the meantime had caught a
founder, which is white on one side

The real origin of the greatest fake
hero ever told has come to light in a
scrap book owned by an old resident

A group of Revolutionary heroes
were standing before an old bar in
Washington, and from the lips of
each there fell wondrous stories of
what he had done in the shock of
battle or the frenzy of the charge.
Finally one old fellow with long,
white whiskers remarked:
Il was personally acquainted with

Il was lying behind the breast

CLEVER WORK Is SHOWN ON THE
STAGE BY CARTER THE
GREAT

a house that would be classed as
a fair sized one, but which should
have been crowded, greeted Garter
the Great" last night at the Nevada
theater The performance was an ex-
cellent one and the ease with which
the magician executed trick after
trick, won for him the admiration of
the audience. Each effort was fol-
lowed by great outbursts of applause.
Carter may easily be termed the SUI
perior of Herman and his acts are
along a later line than that followed
by his predecessor. Things disappear
at will or come into view with a
mere wave of the hand. one act
worth mentioning is termed the cab
met trick When bound hand and
foot it takes but a second for him to
change his coat for one worn by a
member of the committee selected
from the audience to observe the
stunt. The work is clever and when
Carter shows this evening at Goldfeld
he should be greeted with a crowded
house.
