% years of age when he enlisted in
the United States army and served
as private during the Civil war.
AT the close of the war he came west

he was married. to Miss Celestia

family to Kansas where he re-

May, 1904.
Besides a host of friends through

new INDUSTRY MAY
PROVE A BONANZA
BEST LIME IN THE WORLD
MADE FROM BLACK MARBLE
NEAR HERE.

What Is destined to be an indus
try of no mean proportions is now
being developed near the mouth of
Hurricane canyon, Just southwest Of
this city. Charles Christy has been
burning a good quality of lime in
the canyon for several years, but
last summer he experim mented with
the we'll known black marble of
which there are immense deposits
in the canyon. The result exceed
ed all expectations, the product be-
ing a chalk white lime, almost alb
solutely pure. 1t has been tried and
tested both here at home and out
side and the universal verdict isr-
the best lime we. ever used or saw"
1t Is so free from impurities that one
barrel of 1t goes as far as one and
a half barrels of ordinary lime.
A company has been formed to
exploit the deposits and is known
as the Black Marble Lime company,
composed of Mr.. Christy and his son
Henry, and George Houser, a we'll
known capitalist.
One large kiln is already In OPP
Grafton and carload of fire brick
recently arrived at this station with
which three new kilns will be built,
giving a capacity of from $4,000 to
10000 barrels per year. Ed Eben of
Joseph has contracted to market
the entire product, and s. d. Kelt-
ner has the sole sale of the lime
at Enterprise.
A car load OF barrel slaves has
also been received and shipments
will begin soon. Over 1000 tons of
the marble were gotten out the
past winter ready for burning. When
in full running the works will give
employment to IL or Is men. En-
terprise will be the shipping point
of the lime.
The black marble will doubtless
soon be quarried for other uses, as
1t Is a beautiful stone and takes
readily high polish.

When the bill providing for an

its passage. In this letter he wrote
of the treatment he had received
from an osteopath of his city from
which we quote the following:
He gave no assurances,-made no
promises. His treatment and its
marked effects soon broke down my
prejudices against the new system.

Portland, March 29-That James j.

of railway across Central Oregon,
from Ontario to Coos Bay, was stated
on good authority during the past
week. The projected line will con-
meet with the Grand Trunk, the

An interurban service that Is de-

announced by the Hartman lines.
Beginning this week, gasoline motor
cars will be put in service on the
main line of the Southern Pacific
between Ashland and Grants Pass
and another on the Sprin gfield
branch between Albany and Spring
field. Another car of the same type
will be put on between Pendleton

cars are designed to handle the To-
cal business In the territory they
cover and serve the different commu

ROOSEVELT WILL STUMP

that he would stump the state during
the campaign, visiting every county
in an auto, delivering speeches in
cities and towns and villages.
There was a feeling OF apprehen.

Roosevelt apparently did not antici.

as "A. a. NJ" This has long been q
mooted question between the two in.
situations, but it is only this season
that any newspaper has gratified the
university people by giving that in
stitution the exclusive right to the
Texas designation. The A. G. M. Col
lege is as much Texas institution
as is the university; the A. & NJ
College is older than the university;
1t graduates more engineering stu
dents than the university, and the
university is no more Texas institu-
ton than is the A. & NJ, except that
the university gets more state money
than the college receives. The proper
thing for newspaper is to be un.
biased between athletic rivals, not ia.
voring one over the other. The fact
of the matter is, the Post ought to be
a better friend to the college than to
the university because the college is
more in its patronizing territory

WIDOWS AND SIDEWALKS.

The Republic complains that wild
ows are an obstacle to sidewalk build
ing in San Antonio. Inasmuch as
sidewalk building is a current issue
in, Bryan, the Republics reasoning
makes interesting reading for Eagle
readers. 1t follows:
What the Republic finds too much,
though, are the antics of some wild.
ows when it comes to laying side
walks. Most city fathers are easily
moved by the widows veil, especially
when from under it are discernible
lines of beauty or a peaches-and-
cream complexion. Add to this few
tears, and no alderman cares whether
there are sidewalks or not and at
pinch, he would have one laid at his
own expense were it not that his bet
ter half might find the proceeding a
little to charitable. Now, widows have
a knack of getting what is coming to
them. The result is: No sidewalk.
Said man the other day, in ex-
tenuation of his own neglect in this
respect: What's the use? To get to
my door | have to pass the property
of exempt widows on both sides, The
result is that | get my shoes full of
mud anyway. So what's the use of
putting down sidewalk in front OF
my own house?'
ITO some extent the man has logic
on his side. To get to his house he
has to negotiate two widow-lots on
the east and three on the west, and
a sidewalk in front of his own prop.
erty would therefore do him little
good. But the point is this: One of
the widows could well afford to lay
sidewalks, another keeps a big room.

and buggy, number four sends her

rather than TO the free public schools
and number five really is too poor TO
put down even a foot of sidewaik.
Moral: Widows able to put down
sidewalks should have public spirit
enough to do their duty or permit be-
ing made so; and widows not able to
lay sidewalks should have them laid
by the city, with the understanding
that the cost Of the job be charged
up indefinitely without interest. Don't
let the city suffer any longer from
such peculiar class distinctions.
