Saltwater Gaz cite: We have one
of our own. Minnesota has been on
the map a good many years but we
never had totem pole Of our own
until now. When Gov. johnson was
out skirmishing with his staff in
Canada, he discovered at Vic .oria a
couple of dead and down totem
poles, that showed neglect, were
weather beaten and looked disgust
ed with the treatment Canada had
handed out. Our Governor is a
tender hearted fellow and the sight
of these two poles appealed to him.
He was offered one if he cared to
adopt it. He did and the longest
one is to be painted in skillful
manner by native Indians, with red
and black paint, in exactly the right
spots to tell the story the pole is
supposed to proclaim. A descrip-
ton of the pole will tell the signifi-
canoe of each part Of the carving.
When it comes it will be placed in
the triangle to the west Of the cap
itol on the land recently given to
the state by St. Paul. We will
neither borrow nor lend totem poles.

The Shameful Waste of Water.

The fresh waters which render the
country habitable have been measured.
They are derived wholly from the yearly
rainfall Gncluding snow, averaging 30
inches over the entire surface and aggre-
eating 5000, 900, 100000 cubic feet in
quantity, equivalent to ten Mississippi
rivers. Half the rainfall is evaporated :;
a third flows into the sea through navig-
able and other streams; and sixth is
either consumed by living things or alb
sorbed into the earth. OF the three
Mississippis going down to the seas, some
80 per cent flows in flood torrents, inn
peding navigation and destroying prop
erty to a value reaching over 500 600, 900
yearly; and although hundreds of mil
lions of public money have been spent in
improving the channels so ill-advisedly
that right navigation has steadily de.
cllned, both floods and the correlative
low waters are increasing, while not
more than per cent, of the volume is
utilized for navigation or power. OF
the waterpower available at cost com
parable with that of steam installation,
sixth is utilized, twentieth runs over
government dams unused, and the re-
naming 30, 900, 900 horsepower remains
embarrassed - enough to drive every
wheel aud spindle, propel every train
and boat, and light every city, town and
village in the country. Nature stores in
lakes and ponds (including the Ameri-
can portion of the Great Lakes) a vol
ume equivalent to three years rainfall (;

Horses Displace Automobiles

For several weeks past the representa-
tive of big firm of New York City
horse dealers has been in the Middle
West selecting good horses suitable for
delivery work. The order calls for eight
hundred and forty horses, and the agent
states that he has travelled over a large
amount of ground and has not yet been
able to complete the order. The horses
that he has selected in Indiana are of
high type of work horses and he pays
being selected on an order from two of
the largest department stores in New
York City, stores which some time ago
gave up their horse drawn vehicles and
substituted the automobile. Now the
automobiles are to be discarded as soon
as the horses can be procured.
This is due to the fact that the mana
gers of the delivery departments of these
two big stores have found that automo-
biles are not only more expensive to
maintain, but that they have lost the
advertising power they had when that
service was first inaugurated. There
was timewhen the automobile was a
novelty and the New Workers would sit
up and take notice" when an auto de.
livery wagon appeared on the streets
Now no more attention is paid to them
than to the street cars. On the other
hand, fine pair of horses always attract
attention. No matter how many horse
the sight of nice team well appointed
never ceases to command admiration
and any kind of team has it over the
automobile. The big store managers
never forget the advertising side of any
feature, and when it is also demonstrated
that the horse-drawn delivery wagons
are cheaper to maintain there was 10
hesitation in discarding the expensive
pieces of machinery and purchasing new
wagons and new horses.
This comparison in favor of the horse
is also the most striking when it is re-
membered that these New York stores
buy the most expensive work horses on
the market. Feed and stable room is
also expensive in that big city, so that il
the experts there decide in favor of the
horse there can be no question about it in
other cities where less expensive horse
is purchased and where feed is consider
ably lower. The pleasure horse is today
more fashionable than ever and will

Boy Killed by Auto.

The Revised Code,

The following is the revised code
agreed upon for the season of 1909 by |
the Pro-Auto Defensive association
which has Just held its annual session for |
the whole country.
l. The chauffeur will always care.
fully cover his or her eyes with Sc he
sort of diminishing lens that will tcnd
to make all objects on or near the high
way appear alike, and also tend TO OBJ
scure an approaching team. If the
natural eyes be of this description, the
said lens may be omitted.
2. The speed limit on country roads
this year is to be observed at your own
option only, and the penalty for violation
nothing, provided you are prepared with
a good, stiff bluff.
3. In case team runs away because
of carelessness in management of the
auto, the quicker you run away too the
better; damages can never be more than
merely nominal in the event of being
convicted later; a condition far too re-
mote to fear.
4. When coming to a bend in the road
where the view ahead is not very long
one, muffle all sound, crowd on the limit
of speed and power, and the agony of a
possible accident will be soonest ended
and probably prevented.
5. Automobiles can be of any hue so
that they dazzle will demonic luster,
and externally resemble what might be
a modified Hindoo Juggernaut, having
when in menacing motion the horns,
hoofs and general aspect of what might
be regarded as the characteristic vehicle
of some oriental devil.
6. When automobiles are to be run on
country roads at night all rules of run
ming may be violated in comparative
freedom from troublesome espionage, as
the mantle of darkness is usually made a
convenient cover for deeds of deviltry.
7. In case an automobile comes up be-
hind, one blast of the autos horn will
commonly send the terrified farmer out
| of the way into the ditch. over the fence
or plunging across the field in gloom to
himself and glee to the auto driver. This
is one of the exhilarating amusements of
| automobiling.
8. All members of the association will
devote Sunday to racing along various
highways, filling the countryside with
apprehensive dread, and discouraging
worship at church.
8. In case horse shows signs of an
intelligent inquiry as TO whether an au-
tomobile is a friend or not, rush on with
swift and disdainful speed, and give the
impression the auto is fumed and full
minating foe.
10. When the dust is deep. the far.
mers house close to the roadside, the
wind in your favor and the window
panes Just rinsed to let the glorious sun
light kiss the smiling baby inside the
house, be sure to send with all your
might of locomotion heavy cloud OF
earth upon the moistened glass and
through the open door, and you will
thereby prove Iyour right to raise the
dust if you cannot rule the road.

Where the horse user either stops, slows
down, or turns out, on the approach OF
another vehicle, the automobiist fire.
quently throws the law and common
sense to the winds, and speeds along
with insane recklessness, and by the
"brute force" of his machine rules the
horse out of the road, into the bushes,
against stones, grades, trees or walls, or
into bitches, at imminent peril to life,
limb and property. There is no timidity
about it. The road drivers of Massa-
chusetts have as much nerve and, appar-
emily, infinitely more common sense and
courtesy, than the average automobilist.
Accidents through automobiles are too
painfully common in country districts to
be pleasant, and account for the ever
increasing hatred of automobiles. No
one feels safe in allowing the women of
his family to drive alone, even with hor-
SEES which, on suitably wide roads, and
when automobiles are manly and
courteous, may be called 'auto-proof.
While the law permits local authori-
ties to close roads to automobiles, under
certain conditions, they generally appear
their official obligations, that but few, if
any, have done so. They do not seem to
realize any more than do automobiles
that the width of the travelled roadbed
-, .,t, g al
feet, and that the roads are bounded by
bitches, walls, brush-wood concealing
stones-in fact, by nothing but dangers,
if horse SHES beyond the regular road
bed. The average vehicle requires seven
feet of road, and an automobile no less,
to pass another vehicle with safety. The
difficulties of horse.owner in meeting
an auto on such roads, when the machine
is being driven as they usually are, can
be better imagined than described. The
relation of the horse-drawn vehicle to
the auto very much resembles that invar-
iably unsuccessful experiment of rail-
road managers, of trying to pass two
trains on the same track. 1t has never
worked yet; and the experiment between
horse-owners and autos on country roads
is not more successful, so far as the horse
owner is concerned.
Still another most unwarranted trick
of automobiles comes in connection
with electric cars on country roads
When horse man sees that a car and
another vehicle are going to pass and
that he had better keep out, he does So
until the electric has passed the other
vehicle. Not so with the automobiles
If hes knows anything, which is often
doubtful, he knows that the horse won't
shy towards him, so he rushes his ma.
chine into the gap where only devils
would dare venture, and the result il
often badly frightend horse and smash
ed-up vehicle. The motormen of cleo
tries are almost invariably more cour
teous in regard to timid horses than au
tomobilists. While these are but a few
of the evils which the automobile ha
introduced to our roads, a great many O.
them could be avoided did all automo
biists possess a manly character anC
respect the courtesies of the road. Oh
the other hand, even these essentials o
gentleman will not avail much if auto
mobiles are allowed to be driven over tn
narrow roads of country districts. Here
nothing but the absolute exclusion of tn
auto can be of any avail.

the theft of the peoples highways by the

the following statement from Mr.. Hotch-
kiss of the American Automobile Associa-
ton published in New York Tribune of
recent date plainly shows:
From nearly every state in the Union
the secretaries of the automobile clubs
report unusual activity in the line of
motor legislation. While there are not
SO many fool bills up for consideration.
the legislative committees find their
hands full in handling the situation and
keeping few belligerent gentlemen who
still hate automobiles from presenting
senseless bills to the various legislative
bodies.
President Oliver A. Quayle of the New
York State Automobile Association has

them to appoint their legislative delegates
and to have them meet him in Albany in
few days to take up the legislation

in their might and organize in every
town and city in the whole country:

to automobiles are properly enforced.
I'd, to use their influence to secure the
enactment of laws which will fully and
permanently restore and preserve the
