Penny Wise.

Last week the official papers of
Taylor county published the returns
of the vote of 1908 as cast up by the
board of supervisors of that county.
After the election the newspapers
were denied the copy by the auditor
and the board of supervisors and the
papers brought suit to compel them
to cause the same to be published as
any other board proceedings. The
hearing was before Judge H.. M.
Towner who ordered that the officials
of the county cause the same to be
published as contended by the pub
fishers. The county appealed the case
to the supreme court and that tribun-
al has recently rendered a decision
sustaining Jud &c Towner. 1t is q
little late to give out the proceedings,
but the newspapers will no doubt
think it better lste than never. Be-
sides finally having to pay for the
publication, the county will have to
pay for the expense of the suit. An
other case OF penny wise and pound

The hardest thing in the world for
a woman to understand is why a
man doesn't fall in love with her.
Love must indeed be blind when
it makes two people think as much
of each other as they do of them
selves.
of innocense without making it con-
spicuous.
It is quite natural that when two
hearts beat as one they beat in
double quick time.
A mans dyspepsia is sometimes
due to the fact that some woman
has been trying to reach his heart
through his stomach.

DESCRIPTION OF MONORAIL

Following is part of the account given i'll the Seattle Times of the pr j ct of William H. Boyes t." build monorail line from Valdez to the interior of Alaska:
 "Boyes' plan iS not far different from the Bremen monorail. The cars run ou one electrif d rail II inches wide and a2 inches high E ,ch car is built in five different sections and built in such manner that ,ile joints between the sections are movable aud a much shorter curve can he made.
 "rhe inventor states that he can build his road at S3o, 900 mile in the city and in the country such as the road would go through from Valdez to Fairbanks, the cost would not be more than $Io.ooo a mile al the most, and probably less. Tine rail may be either of wood or steel as tie wT,eel is >oft-facei and there is no wear. The estimated weight of the car is about one twentieth of that of an elevated car that would Garry the sam number of persons. Each Car has five doors oil each side, along the plan of tie English railroads

Found Somebody's Foot

Up at Fairbanks the other day a human foot was found in garbage heap. An investigation showed that the foot had been amputated above the ankle and it is supposed to have been done by surgeon in the regular course of his business during the win ter. What disposition has now been made of the foot was no. told by the Fairbanks papers. If anybody else finds it they should bury it. burn it or cook it up in the dog feed. so that it will remain out of sight. Such objects are calculated to shock sensitive peo- ple's nerves.

COMMISSION PLAN
 BECOMING POPULAR

The American people are begin ming 10 learn that a municipality can be run as busiuess-liise and eco- nomically as a corporation, free from ward politics, graft, corrup- ton and incompetent employees. The April number of Everybody's Mag 1ziue has an article on the sub, ject by Charles Edward Russell. As preface, the editor says.
 "Commission government is be- coming national issue. Already some sixty cities. representing over 3,coo. GOO people. have adopted its essential featurees. The success of this plan threatens death to organ ized corruption"
 He says in Texas 15 cities use ,he Galveston commission plan. h Kansas nine have the Des Moines plan. In all, 147 cities want It.. Among those mentioned as having adopted it, all citiesj..over TOO, 900 population, are Boston, Buffalo, Tacoma. St. Joseph and Memphis. It should be added that Seattle will adopt the plan next year.
 Galveston adopted the plan after the flood of 1900. The old council proved too slow and cumbersome and was mixed with too much pol itics and graft to put into execution the citizens plan for new and much better town. They secured from the legislature charter by which five commissioners should attend to the city's .business.The plan worked to perfection.
 Des Moines, however, improved on this plan by having the commits sioners elected -thFeagh-direct pri- maries. Each commissioner is the head of an important department, and is paid good salary to look after the city's business. The mayor is the main executive head.
 In every instance where the com mission plan has been tried, it has worked wonders for tue municipal ity. The aim is 60 make each city

NO HIGH LINKS
 AT THE BREAKUP

The breakup was tame. Sunday, May l5. at 7:30 in the morning there was a movement at each side of the river in front of town, but the middle held firm and the side ice soon stopped. At the upper end of town the flood from the Panama gradually forced an opening further toward the north shore and further down. At F o'clock the mass began to move from shore to shore. It jammed at the island, but the ice crowded down and left the river clear from above the mission to the lower end of town. In the evening the steamer Tana, ran over from the Panama river and picked up the barge Innoko from the little cove known as the N. c. slough.
 The jam at the island. having no material to build with,. wore away. Occasionally ice cakes broke away and Aoated down from above the mission, and at 3 o'clock Tuesday evening a run started and kept up all night. From the broad, firm slabs it was apparent that it had its origin bslow The Rap ids. The river ran clear again, and it was not till 9 o'clock last night, May Is, that a ryu set in that bears evi- dence of being uninterrupted and final.

 "These experiments are young and possibly may be deemed not conclusive, but the following achievements of the new plan seem to be fairly we'll established:
 "First-It abolishes party poli- tics from local affairs.
 "Second-It eliminates the boss. the grafter, and the political ma: chine. s..
 "Third-It views a municipality as a grea. business enterprise, and provides accordingly fot it's effective management.
 "Fourth-It recog aizes dehiitely the failure of representative govern. ment and substitutes therefor a sys. tenn of democracy; it rec ecognizes the foot that there is no wisdom but collective wisdom. a. "A s
