A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT

The following apostrophe to grass
written by John J. ingalls,, is an inspir-
alton:
''Grass is the forgiveness of nature
her constant benedic iction. Fields tramp.
led with battle, saturated with blood
torn with the ruts of cannon, grow
green again with grass, and carnage Is
forgotten. Streets abandoned by trat.
fic become grass grown like rural lanes,
and obliterated. Forests decay, har-
vests perish, flowers vanish, but grass
is immortal. Beleaguered by the sew
en- hosts of winter it draws into the
impreguabe fortress of its subterrau-
can vitality and emerges upon the first
solicitation of spring. Sown by the
winds, by the wandering birds, propa-
gated by the subtle horticulture of the
elements which are its ministers and
servants, it softens the rude outline Of
the world. Its tenacious fibers hold
the earth in its place and prevent its
soluble components from washing into
the wasting sea. 1t invades the soil
tudes of the desert, climbs the inacces-
sible slopes and forbidding pinnacles of
mountains, modifies climates and de-
termines the history, character and
destiny of nations. Unobtrusive an 1
Ipatient, it has immortal vigor and az.
gression. Banished from the thorough
fares and the field, it bides its time
to return, and when vigilance is relaxod d
or the dynasty has perished, it silent
ly resumes the throne from which it
has been expelled but which it never
a abdicates. 1t bears no blazonry of
bloom to charm the sense with fra
GRANGE or splendor, but its homely hue
is more enchanting than a lily or the
rose. 1t yields no fruit in earth or air
and yet, should its harvest fail for a
single year, famine would depopulate
the world"

CALIFORNIA SENATOR
QUITS INSURGENTS

Los Angeles, Sept. 2.-That President
Taft will be re-nominated is the belief
of Senator John D. Works, insurgent
from California. That the president
will be reelected is not regarded as 50
certain by Senator Works, but when
Taft is re-nominated senator Works
will support him in the campaign.
81 have no desire to get out of the
republican party said Senator Works,
in an interview with republican rep
resentative before starting for visit
to San Diego.
''If insurgency is ~ accomplish the
reforms it advocates, it must do so
through the republican party. There
are those who believe it will serve the
purpose to defeat President Taft by
the election of a democrat next year.
Gas to his denomination, am GER
tain that it is foreordained. l would
prefer another republican candidate
who comes nearer to my own views. 1t
should participate in the fight for
California rs delegation I should urge
a vote of protest against the president
''When he is re nominated, of course.
[ shall support him because, as l al
ready have said, insurgency can accom-
plish more through republican victory
than through any other means
''What republican would you prefer
to Taft?"
'Senator La Toilette has large fol
lowing. l think all the insurgents a1e
for him except two or three. At this
time I prefer him. There is another
element would like to see Col. Roose-
welt nominated

ADDITION TO SCHOOL HOUSE

Scarcely had school opened this year
than it became evident that more room
would be necessary in order to accom-
modate the increased attendance.
Last year it was found necessary,
soon after the opening of school, to rent
room down town and provide an ad
ditional primary teacher. While that
arrangement seemed the best that could
be done last year it was far from
satisfactory. This year the same need
was apparent from the start and the
board concluded the best thing to do
was to provide the needed room by
building an addition on to the present
building.
No sooner was tins decision mad =
than the board set out to get the work
started, and it is now well under way
and it is expected to have the addition
al rooms in use four weeks from next
Monday.
The addition will be built just south
of the gymnasium and will contain
two rooms, one above the other. The
first and second grades will be divided
into three divisions and another teach
er provided. This will prevent the
crowding which has heretofore caused
considerable trouble in these grades
and will contribute greatly to the gen
eral efficiency of the school.

bers of the lodge and assisted at the
ceremony at the grave in Oakland Gem

ter the service at the house.

New Ballast

Near Black Butte, in the Shas-
ia mountains between the stations
of Weed and Sisson, California,
the Southern Pacific Company
has uncovered a huge deposit of
volcanic ash that has proved un-
usually fine ballasting material.
1t was discovered already broken
into the proper size for ballast
and the company has just COM
pleted ballasting that part of its
line over the Siskiyou mountains
with this material. 1t is of a
pinkish color, porous, yet has a
great deal of weight and it's po-
rous qualities make it perfect for
drainage Of the railroad, that
part of the road upon which it is
being used being exceptionally
well drained during the rainy
seasons.

New Gravel Machine

In the Sacramento, California,
shops Of the Southern Pacific
Company, there has just been
completed a machine for the load
ing of gravel upon flat cars from
out of the bed of a river. Tech
nically, it would be called a dred-
ger. 1t consists of the necessary
boilers and engines, with a 70
foot boom, and by the use of
what is known as the clam she'll
steel bucket, is now being used
successfully in loading gravel
from the bed of a river in the
Sacramento valley. This gravel,
taken from underneath the water
is clean and dustless and makes
fine ballast, and is being used on
the double track work of the
Southern Pacific Company be-
tween Beneca and Sacramento in
California.
