PAPER COMPANY FILES
ANSWER TO Committee
Declares Bid for Government Con-
tract Was One of Lowest and Was
Properly Submitted.

The Valley Paper Company. through
Attorney F. h. Rhodes. has filed a trav-
erse to the return and amended answer
of the House members of the committee
on printing Of Congress to the rule issued
against them by Justice Wright in the
mandamus proceeding to compel con-
sideraton of the bid of the paper COM
pany to furnish paper for government
printing
The company denies the allegations of
the House members and declares that
the bid was properly submitted and that
the certificate of a judge of court OF
record was filed as to the sufficiency of
the surety offered. The company claims
that in many particulars it's bid was the
lowest and best submitted, and that the
action of the committee in rejecting ii
was not the exercise of any discretionary
power reposed by law in the committee.
the company says the committee as
signed only one reason for disregarding
the bid. and should not now be heard to
raise other objections.
The hearing will take place Friday.

take care of his land and especially the

the hundreds and thousands of poor
tenants who live in old buildings that
one should not offer to animals Never
theless, the owners of these same
buildings grind their poor, ignorant
tenants down to the last penny for the

These people have reason to fear. for
although we have a good. trained army

But if we take care OF all our people

if we feed them on clean, wholesome

only save money for them, but there
will be no need of so many homes and

Patriotism on Memorial Day
HARTLAND GOLDTHwAITE.
SnusRiftO, Cal.

The subject patriotism on Memorial
Day" I believe is one which is very
much neglected by many of our
American citizens May 90 of each
year you undoubtedly know is Memo
rial day and has been declared SO by
our government.
The day was brought into exis tence
by one of our well known and brave
generals Of the union army in the
civil war, General Logan. 1t is q day
OF remembrance and not one of frolic.
In regard to frolic, believe every
person could give that up for one day
in the year at least and devote their
time to q far better cause.
Why not show the very best OF pa
triotism by attending Memorial day
exercises and paying tribute TO our
departed soldiers and sailors of the
Mexican civil and Spanish-American
wars, who fought so bravely in the
nations cause? Notice the splendid
manner in which the army and navy
observe the day in showing marked
respect for their departed comrades.
You might not be able to attend exer-
cises but that should not hinder you
from showing your patriotism
True patriotism can be shown by the
young people of our nation as well as
by the older persons. Sending bou-
quet of flowers to be placed on some
heroes grave by some one who is
going to attend exercises is an exam
pie of patriotism When you are not
able to attend this can often be done

Rolling a Barrel Around the
World

Two Venetians, Zanard Ottilio and
Vianello Eugen, have undertaken
trip around the world, during which
they intend to visit every country. and
have pledged themselves not to enter
a dwelling house during that time.
They carry n barrel containing a
stove and all the Implements they need.
This barrel serves them as shelter and
they are. according to the terms of the
wager they are said to have made COM
PEELED to trundle this barrel before
them during the whole trip.
The barrel is made OF stout oak, and
reinforced with iron hoops. 1t will OF
course have to be replaced several
times during the trip, for the two Ital-
ians expect to be IL years on their
journey.
IL they succeed in their undertaking
they are to receive 100000 francs
$3.50. .000).
They started from Venice on July 20,
1903 and have so far traversed Switz-
erland, France, England, Belgium and
Holland, arriving in Berlin on May 18,
1910. AS companions they took along
two dogs, which, however, succumbed
TO the exertions of the trip. They were
replaced i'm Switzerland by atSt. Ber-
nard puppy, which is placed in the bar

strain OF the odd way of travelling. The
puppy serves as a companion, and is
expected to afford protection after 1T
has grown up.
So far the two travellers have covered
3 400 miles in 10 months. From Berlin
they go to Russia. and by way of Sibe-
ria to Japan and China. They are cer-
tain of winning their wager by visiting
every known country or the earth
within the prescribed time of12 years
