How About the Weeds ?

EDITOR NEWS. s.HERALD-I see you
printed my suggestion about tarring
the traction company's tracks. But
do not see the tar yet. However, 1
know that it takes some people long
time to wake up.
While I'm writing feel impelled
to ask If there isn't a mandatory law
requiring property owners to cut the
weeds in the alleys adjoining their
property? | am also under the i'm.
preston that there is some sort of n
officer who draws a salary ostensibly
for seeing that this law and a few
others are enforced.
Am I wrong, or merely foolish in
presuming that those who draw sal.
aries for this sort of work should do
the work as we'll as draw the salar.

Reminded OF II.

The Outlook kindly sends US copy
of Col. Roosevelts latest editorial,
which, we learn when we reach the
last paragraph, is an argument for
the inheritance tax, a just tax and
comparatively uuobjecct I o n b y.
But what impresses us most in a
perusal of our good ex.president' 3
latest emanation in the retention
and improvement of his Illuminating
literary style. II seems like the good
old times of daily presidential mes
sages to read again snch expressions
as these
"The SNUG, conscienceless creature
who refu,es to consider the morality
of any question of social ethics {;
those who preach and practice a
gospel of mere materialism and
greed sullen discomfort, restless
pessimism and evil preparation for
revolution those blinded men who
care only for the immediate relief
from all obstacles which would thwart
their getting what is not theirs"
All of which reminds US that If Col.
Roosevelt we're in his successors
place under present circumstances,
long before this Senator Aldrich
would have been officially proclaimed
an undesirable citizen, a malefactor
of great wealth, plotter in clustered
seclusion, a shorter and uglier, a
gargoyle, pink.whiskered bongo, a
wart hog and ravening digdig. AS
we are inclined to think that's just
what he is, we are much obliged to
The Outlook for reminding US of it.

BIG ELEPHANT
From Robinson's Circus Takes a
Night Off and Enjoys Himself
On Garden Vegetation.

Carefully treading his way over and
between the PROSTATE forms of over a
score of sleeping showmen, employees
of John Robinson's circus, "Elijah, "
the giant elephant of the menagerie,
made his way to freedom late Sunday
night at GAINESVILLE.
He was found in a nearby garden
the next morning. The huge animal
had made a wreck of all vegetable
life in the vicinity of the circus
camp. The elephant was careful not
to awaken or molest the slumbering
employees during his march to freedom.
He was easily recaptured, but not be-
fore he had caused everybody to lock
their homes.

Wild Animal Loose.

A strange, wild animal created
some excitement at the home of 1. A.
Jones on the Darbyville pike, Tues.
day morning about one o'clock. The
animal, which was about as large as
an ordinary Shepherd dog, got into a
fight with fox terrier right under
the window of the sleeping room of
Mr.. Jones. He hurried out and
frightened the visitor away, and it
disappeared in the woods back of
Mrs. N. G. RAIDERS residence. An ex.
animation of the fox terrier disclosed
that it had been literally torn to
pieces s.-Circleville Union.Herald.

The discovery threw the city into

Whether this body has any con-

body may change their theories.
The body is badly decomposed. It

for several days, and are expressing
the opinion, off hand, that II the

killed, that he might have been cog

ing tackle, left Reno yesterday pre-
pared for a long trip in George
Wingfield's auto bound for Mono
Lake Ostensibiy on Il fishing eXcur-
sion, but actually, it is rumored. to
plan to secure a rich timber tract and
build a railroad from Columbus
Marsh on the Tonopah & Goldfell
railroad due west to Mono lake on
the Bridgeport and Bodie line.
The object is said to be the Sec
uring of an immense timber tract
near Mono lake to supply the vora-
cious demands of the Goldfield Con-
solidated and other mines OF Gold
field and Tonopah which yearly use
over 100000 feet OF timber.
The party consisted of George

charge of the NiXon-Wingfield mine
holdings, according to the recent an
nOuncement; Charles E. Knox, pres
ident of the MOntana-Tonopah Min
ing company; c. NJ. Hobbs, former
general manager OF the Nevada-Cal-
lfornla Power company; G. O. Whit
temOre, a we'll known ~alroad man
and c. J. Sadier, who intends to
stop off at Carson and join the party
later at Mono Lake.
Although it has been given out that
the party was merely fishing party
and not on business bent it is known
that the problem of getting sufficient
pine timber for the Tonopah and
Goldteld mines is becoming an i'm
pOrtant one TO De solved in the near
future.
An option has been held by some
tracts surrounding Mono Lake, and
survey has been made from Column
bus Marsh almost due west to the
lake for Il railroad that would solve
me transportation problem.
In addition there is said to be
plenty Of good water power propo-
sitions in the Mono lake country, and
it would not surprise some who have
kept an eye on the southern country.
