Mr.. Lovett, who came to the north
west to acauaint himself with condi-
lions in this part of the country, said,
in the course OF his interview:
"Our roads will extend through the
Deschutes pass, whether any other
road does or not. 1t is a railroads

HINTS FOR CHRISTMAS
Few Weeks Before Holiday Season VIII
Pass Like Magio-TimeIy
Suggestions.

Christmas is approaching, and the
few weeks before the festive season
seem to pass with magic rapidity. Un-
less a certain amount Of forethought
is exercised many people find them
selves totally unprepared to meet the
demands on their purse for the pur-
pose of Christmas gifts. New Year
presents, and the usual and deserving
custom Of the New Year donation to
postmen and message boys. There are
other calls upon our purse, but of these
I need not make mention.
Regarding Christmas gifts, these
need not take the form of any expens-
i've article. A simple token of friend
ship or love is more highly valued, es-
pecially IL made by the clever fingers
Of the giver. than a high priced trinket
bought and sent because 81 must give
something"
There are many things which a girl
or woman can make at trifling cost.
A warm knitted or crocheted cot cover
in thick wool of a bright and WELL
washing color for baby; a hatpin
cushion for a girl friend; large COM
Portable shawl for grannie, or a pair
of warm feecy slippers; a trinket bas-
ket for the dressing table. made out OF
cardboard stationery box, lined and
covered with silk, satin, or even the
ever useful crinkled paper. A narrow
strip OF cardboard similarly covered
forms the handle across the top. each
end being glued to the sides Of the box,
and finished with dainty bow OF rib
bon.
Unfortunately there are so few things
one can make for the boys A silk
knitted tie or a circular box in which
to keep collars will be appreciated.
There is no man or boy of my ac-
quaintance who would wear home
made although these are
popular, and even fashionable, but a
tailor made waistcoat may have a
warm knitted lining tackled in for the
cold winter months. Remember to line
the back as well as the fronts. A
warm muller, too, is not to be despis-
ed, and If the colors are well chosen,
no fastidious sweetheart or brother
would refuse to wear it,

HOTEL TWEEDEN HAS
fine BARBER SHOP

1t pays to do things on fine scale
when you do them at all. Nowhere is
this better proved than in the exper-
fence of Amos Tweeden in connection
with his new barber shop.
This fine new shop was opened
three weeks ago. One man was suffi-
Gent to handle the business then:
today there are three and they are
busy all the time; no wonder either
with the service and the shop, when
a man goes to be shaved or have a.
hair cut, or take a bath, he likes
things clean; and cleanliness is the
watchword at the Hotel Tweeden bar
Der shop.
The shop takes all OF the east side
Of the street floor of the new Hotel
Tweeden. 1t is magnificently light
ed by full plate glass front The
interior is finished In white and gold.
with neat sanitary fittings and plumb
ing. A splendid mirror fills the west
side of the room with oak frame and
mouldings. There are four chairs of
the latest pattern and the wall fittings
are Of the same fine character.
Four first class BARRIERS will soon
be employed. Three are there at pres
ent, fine workmen, every one; Chas.
Mitchell Is in charge and is assisted
by Ed. Holtz and Frank Madlund: all
popular, gentlemanly, good fellows. In
connection with the shop are four
modern and handsomely appointed
bath rooms; finished in white enamel
sanitary plumbing and finest fittings.
4 man feels cleaner just to see the
interior OF this splendid shop.
1t Is said that the Hotel Tweeden
barber shop In not excelled in any
city in the northwest. It certainly ID
credit to the city. Those looking
for good work and cleanliness in fine
barbering will find 1T at this new sinop
at al Northern Pacific avenue.

CURING THE TRAMP EVIL
More General Conviction That the Evil
Can Be Abated Needed, Says
Washington Herald.

Railway experts and students of
charity agree that Il all the railroads
We're ito keep Migrants off their prop
erty the problem Of the wandering
tramps would be far advanced toward
solution, says The Washington Herald
Yet when a railway undertakes this
reform, local public protest develops
The farmers in particular object to
sending tramps rowing over the codn-
tryside, there to commit petty but an
moving depredations. 1t is not sur
prising that there should be friction
in, so radical a social sreadJustnlent as
the attempted elimination or even dim
mutton OF the tramp evil. For g. time
these wanderers may be driven to the
public highways, where geographical
transit is slower, but where life may
be sustained by begging or stealing.
But for the present the towns and Cit
les have the task Of dealing with the
tramps. This is too frequently met
witch a magisterial command to move
on" which is merely an injunction to
return to the highway or the brake
beam. This process ignores the posi-
bility of an ultimate cure for the evil,
but temporizing is too often accepted
in public affairs as Offering the path
of Lease resistance.
The fact is that tho. railroads have
begun a policy that is for the advan-
tage of society as well as for their own
protection Therefore, they have right
to expect cooperation from the au-
thorities of every community through
which they pass. There is needed a
more general conviction that the tramp
nuisance can be abated That will
follow when the tramp himself has it
driven into his head that the crusade
against his wasteful wanderings is both
general and persistent. This is an
instance where there should be no

C0L0RING CONCRETE BLOCKS
Dark Gray Appearance May lie
Changed 10y Using Right
Mixture.

One Of the serious objections to concrete
blocks in the past has been their dark gray
appearance. This can be overcome by
using light colored sand, or crushed stone
and a white Portland cement, which will
give a light gray effect. If a pure white
effect Is desired then white cement should
be used, with white sand or crushed stone
mixed with a little marble dust. 1t is very
difficult to obtain a coarse white sand, al
though there are kinds which are quite
coarse. A fine white sand used alone with
cement will not make a thoroughly
waterproof facing. In order to make such
a facing waterproof 1t is necessary to use
a proportion Of marble dust or crushed
stone with sand. Care must be taken not
to use too much marble dust, for if too
much of this is used, the facing will check
and show unsightly cracks. For this
reason marble dust should never be used
alone will cement. Usually the checks
and hair cracks referred to will not show
until the blocks have aged several weeks
and even months, but eventually they are
bound to come.
The amount of marble dust to be used
should not be more than 1h parts of mar
BILE dust to four parts of white sand. IL
the facing is too rich in cement, checks and
hair cracks are as apt to appear as when
marble dust alone is used with cement.
Very good results can be obtained by using
limestone screenings, from coarse to fine,
which will pass a quarterback screen, but
usually it is advantageous to use a little
white sand with this as we'll, in order to
produce a smooth, dense surface.-Cement

of these instances, a colossal home can b.
placed upon the lot by artificially terraclng
it to make a level lot of at least a portion
of it, but this method should never be
adopted except whore the owners desires
are imperative or the slope is too steep to
consider any other expedient.
The finest location for a house is a COM
paratively level lot at the crest of a hill.
There are two things toward which the
American seems to aspire more than any
thing else-one is to get as high in the air
as possible and the other to cover the
ground when travelling as fast as possible.
At present these tendencies cannot be con-
sistently related since one cannot go up
the hill as fast as on the level. but the
airship may overcome this obstacle. A
high hill or bluff with a level plateau at
the top and some easy means OF ascending
is ideal in every respect. Besides the
pleasure to the eye of distant views. and
the air is always fresh and cool. A promi-
hence of this description gives one a feel
ing OF Independence. Surely one is like the
English lord, master of all survey" so
far as the pleasures of sight are concerned.
Without a doubt the most appropriate and
beautiful home for a location Of this kind
Is a colonial house with a two-story portico
