WORHT CONSIDERING

Since abolishing the Long Dis
lance Telephone Station at Monte,
rey we would like to see some ar
rangement made, between the
Long Distance and the Mutual
companies, to establish a Joint cen
trail at this place. 1t would do
away with the inconvenient meth
cd of repeating messages. 1t will
be economical, and at the same
time create new business for both
companies Every phone-holder
will be benefited. He will have
the advantage of both local and
long distance connection in his
home or place Of business. 1t is
a consolation and comfort to have
conyeniences even if seldom used.
The greatest thing in this change,
there will be very little, if any, out
lay of money to get these advant-
ages, which is worth considering in
this expensive age. We believe
every phoneholder will be glad to
hear of this matter of connecting
the two lines taken up by these
two companies.

an OLD MANS GREETING.

The venerable William Rexrode,
of Braxton county, W. Va, writes
us of date October lst, inclosing his
subscription to the Recorder until

ponds the following greeting to his
Highland friends:

rIvEs: live in Braxton county,
West Virginia, and have my health
fairly good for man OF my age.

Our quie5 little neighborhood was
surprised recently by the wedding
of Kenney Lockridge and Miss Eft

stole a march on their friends by
quietly going to the parsonage near
Bath Alum, where Mr.. VanDevan-

of matrimony. They are making
their home for the present with the
brides father, j. c. Marshall.
The All Healing White Sulphur
Springs still have several guests
from Lexington, Waynesboro, Nat

fine spring could only be improved
it would be filled from early spring
until the cold weather drove the
visitors to their homes. Some re-
markable cures have been effected
by using the water of this spring.
People of this vicinity are much
interested in the report of the pro-
posed railroad from some point on
the C. & O. to Romney, w. Va,
as it will run within seven or eight
miles of this place, and will be OF

The Drouth In Highland

Highland is passing through one
of the most severe drouths in sew
eral years. The prolonged dry
spell has given to the grass lands
about the same tint that Jack Frost
has impaired to the mountain foil
age, and, while the fall weather is
delightful, the brown appearance
of pasture fields adds to the mel
ancholy."
The fat cattle now being moved
have not been seriously affected by
the dry weather; but they are get
ting away just in time, and, one
would suppose that they are not
loath to leave the desolate pros
pect.
The question of fall pasture is
virtually settled, and the lndlca-
tons are that cattle men will have
to begin feeding a month in adj
vance of average years. This is
true especially of some sections OF
the county where local showers
have failed, more or less, for two
months.
The waters are low, but we have
heard of no serious inconvenience
along this line.

THE LURE OF THE ARCTICS.

Polar life brings strange revela'
tons; a man who is a model of am
liability at home is a savagein those
high ATTITUDES, where Mother Ma
ture and humanity were bent en-
revealing their crudest characters
tics. When a man goes to the
Arctics first he dislikes it; if he is
caught there one winter he vows to
himself that he will not repeat the
adventure. Yet when he gets back
home he discovers that the "whlte
silence has a compelling fascina-
tion. | have never known a man
who could resist the chance to 90
again, even at financial loss, AT,
ter twenty years of experience, II
another opportunity came to me,
| it is doubtful whether any consld-
Grafton would prevent my taking
up the work again.
Once the charm of those long
months of daylight, the mysterious
deathly silence of those long nights
the white glare of that brilliant
moonlight across trackless wastes
of snow and ice, has been felt, 6
man is unable to resist the sirer
call of the North, that has become
more to him than family, home
friends or money. Gladly he takes
his life in his hands and fares fortt
again into those frozen seas. Cap

A Trait That Brands Them az I'm
socabs and Abrupt.


What a complicated thing Is the
character of the Londoner! Out or
pure shyness he becomes disagreeaDiy
abrupt; out of pure fear of intrusion he
becomes unsociable. A n'.%ber OF un'
acquainted men in the SAFE tramway
ear will never think of entering into
conversation as they would anywhere
else In the world. Silently they leave
the car as they entered it. And yet IT
does not seem natural to me that they
should not prefer to converse. bu'
they are afraid to intrude; besides
they have not been introduced
"Proper' introduction is one OF tue
characteristics Of the Londoner. In
Germany when a man enters a private
room containing people he, does NOT
know or If he sits down at a table
outside n restaurant-in fact. when
ever he comes into touch with a stran
per-he will make his bow and an
nounce his name, He will introduce
himself. Then both will chat like Ole
acouaintances. But 1t Is ten TO one
that neither Of them caught the mum
bled name of the other, nor did they
care. To both of them their meeting
has been an episode to be forgotten tn
very next second. And it not infre
quently happens that man Will turf

SOCIALISTS WILL
GET INTO GAME

The socialist party will have a
complete municipal ticket in the
field at the coming election, in
GLIDING two councilmen from each
ward, according to ID. c. Coates,
one of the leaders in the party in
this city.
The committee in charge of the
program has held several meetings
but has not determined upon any
candidates as yet nor on any other
important matters in connection
with the campaign, other than to
decide that a mass convention will
be held on the day Of the primar.
les to name the ticket and make a
fight anyway, because the social
lists are not overlooking any mixup.
Under the direct primary law
the socialists were barred from fl
ing nominations in regular form on
account OF the fact that the party
did not cast 10 per cent of the
total vote at the last election.

MORGAN
MONEY HERE

Chief Engineer Gray of the Pa
cific States Telephone Co. is here
from the San Francisco general
headquarters to lay off the ground
for the company's new northside
plant, at Euclid avenue and Glen
wood street, which is intended to
supply the upper end of the Fifth
ward. The building and equipment
will cost 100000.
An exchange with capacity of
1000 phones will be built and all of
the lines from that locality and
Hillyard run into it. 1t will be
only about one-half the size of the
Maxwell exchange at the outset,
but will be built so that 1t can be
enlarged to the size Of the Max
we'll plant when necessity re-
quires II.
When the new plant is built the
present force of the Pacific States
company will be increased from
420 pepole to 600, which will make
the company the second largest in
dustry in the city, the w. w. p
being the largest, not taking into
consideration the city of Spokane
which employs as many people as
the power company.

The supreme court will have full
knowledge of the nature of tho

cation, as the stipulated appeal Of
Prosecutor Pugh, which is signed

grand jury had been called to In
vestigate the RootGordon court
scandal, on the suggestion of the
state bar committee.
The supreme court in 1905 ruled
that stenographer is not permiss-
able in the grand jury room under
the Washington statute, but has
never passed on the right Of the
prosecuting attorney or his deputy
to take stenographic notes, the con-
tention on which the appeal -
based.
The grand jury resumed It's work
this morning, investigating Grim
inal cases that have gone to tho
superior court from the police
court. Every case that has been
heard in the police court in which
the defendant was bound over 10
the superior court, since the grand
jury investigation began, must be
investigated by the grand jury and
an indictment returned before tho
defendant can be arraigned. This
detail work with the inspection Of

peal can be heard.

ATTORNEYS
WILL FIGHT PUGH IN
THE SUPREME 5eOUR1

The legal battle over the right Of
the prosecuting attorney or his
deputy to take shorthand notes in
the grand jury room will be fought
out in the supreme court with the
same vigor that has marked it's dis
cussion in the superior court of
Spokane county.
Attorney p. G. Sullivan of Sc
attic, who is devoting his whole
time to the defense of Judge Cor
don, announced today that if the
supreme court, on the presentation
of the matter tomorrow by Prose
cutor Pugh, should grant the right
to review the ruling of Judge Hun
exc, that due notice of the court s
action will be forwarded here and
date set for argument
In this event Attorney Sullivan
says that counsel for Judge Gordon
will appear before the supreme
court and contest any ruling seek
Ing to place differnt construction
on the law than given it by Judge
Huneke. Prosecutor Pugh left for
Olympia last night.
While Judge Huneke is the de-
PENDANT in the appeal of Prosecutor
Pugh, yet the attorneys for Judge
Gordon hold that Gordon is in real
ity the defendant in the appeal and
hence has the same right to appear
and defend himself as he had in
the empaneling Of the grand jury.
This right of defendant accused
of crime and under investigation
by grand jury to participate in
the the work of empaneling a
grand jury Is given under the
Washington code. Some lawyers
question the right of the attorneys
for Gordon to take exceptions to
the procedure in the grand jury
room, holding that such matters
rest wholly with the court.
Had Prosecutor Pugh known Of
the probability of contention over
the talking of shorthand notes in
the grand jury room, the matter
could easily have ben remedied
when the new criminal code was
being drafted by the committee OF
prosecuting attorneys, of which
