WOULDN'T TAKE FoYS MONEY

Eddie FOy. the actor lives near New Rochelle and owns d motor car. The other day the comedian was in a hurry to get to New York to attend a re- hearsal. The ear was in front of his home. He gave the crank a twist. Something broke in the engine and the machine was put out of comission.
 The next best thing for MT. Foy to do was to catch train. A car was coming along the road and he hailed it. There was no one in it but the driver. He readily consented to take the comedian to the railway station When they arrived there MT. Foy of fered the man a dollar bill.
 No. thank you." replied the cars driver. 'I don't want your money, MT Foy"
 The omedian thought that the man was certainly a queer chauffer. "Oh. you know mo, them he asked.
 "Yes. by reputation" replied the other And heres my card

The following matters relative to the

An instrument for accurately meas uring and recording vibrations has been produced by Siemens Brothers compa- ny, limited, under the name of the Vii paragraph. It consists essentially of mercury cup with floating mirror, which is so pivoted that there is no motion sideways. although other move ments are set up by the vibration rip pies in the mercury. The light nf a small glow lamp reflected from the mirror records the vibrations upon strip of photographic paper. For eye cbserva- tions if the record is not needed. a glass screen can be substituted for the photographic paper. Three mercurycups Of different degrees of sensitiveness us ually give the required range, provid- ing for strong, medium and small vii brations. and a set of calibratiOn cur yes for each cup makes it easy to de- termine the amount of movement of the vibrating body in fractions of an inch or of a millimeter. The average vibrations shown on the records are about 1-100. 1-250 and 1-1.O0O of an inch for each cup respectively.

 Democrats and Republicans.

The Tucson chamber of commerce and the county central committees of
 both political parties in that city will

 terious Manner.

PLANNED
 BY ARIZONA l. & I. CO
Line Between Phoenix and Prescott to be Shortened by Forty Miles

The Arizona Telephone X Tele- graph company, better known bv its former name, the Consolidated Tele- phone, Telegraph and Electric com pany. is preparing to make some need ed changes for the improvement of it's long distance service and also for
 the further extension of it's lines. R
 NJ Buehler the local manager yes { terday announced that a change
 would be made in the Phoenix Pres
 colt line that would not only inn
 prove the service by shortening the
 line forty miles, by the installation
 of copper wire metallic circuit be-
 tween Peoria and WickenburG, but
 that this would eliminate the use
 for long distance business d section
 of the line between Castle Hot
 Springs and Wickenburg. that is now
 equipped with iron wire. The pres ent line runs to Peoria, thence To Castle Hot Springs. thence to Wick enburg and north to Prescott, When the section between Castle Hot Springs and Wickenburg was built. it was necessary to use the iron wire for various reasons, mechanical and otherwise that it is not now interest ing to explain, and q section of iron wire connecting with copper wires at either epd did not give the best service. By building along the rail road track through Morristown tc Wickenburg the double copper wire line will be completed through and forty miles saved in distance. The limo he to Castle Hot Springs. for local busi- ness. Hot Springs and Morristown being also connected by a private line.
 Another improvement to be made is the building of another line between Tucson and Benson, of heavier copper wire to handle the business of Bisbcc. Douglas and Fl PasO. the company already having a light wire line over that territory Both will be main tained
 Another improvement will be the building of a new line between Florence and Hayden, along the line of the Arizona Eastern railroad. with a branch line to Globe, from Hayden, over which the people of Globe and the upper Gila valley may talk to the coast by the long distance line running through Phoenix.
 The company now has a line to Hayden by d roundabout way. running from Tucson via oracle, Mammoth and Winkelman This will be main tained hereafter for local business only.
 Manager Buehler said yesterday that the company has a new directory foI Phoenix now on the press which it will be ready to deliver as soon a. received from the printer

YAMHILL POLL BOOK FOUND
Official Record, Half Century Old, is
Unearthed.

Sheridan, Or, Dee. 25.-0ne of the
most interesting curios in the county
is being exhibited here and espec-
tally to the old residenters is it of
much interest. The curio is in the
nature of an old Yamhill county
poll book of registry of the voting
done in the Willamette precinct
(Wheatland) at the June election
in 1860 The filing date is June 15
under the signature of J. w. Cerves,
clerk.
Unlike the poll books used now.
this relic of the '6Os shows the per-
son voted for by every voter in the
precinct. 1t was at that time, the
custom of the clerk to ask the voter
the name of his candidate and to
put tally under the name of the
chosen candidate. In those DAYS
Wheatland polled about 40 votes.
The poll book reveals an excellent
brand of penmanship and neatness
on the part of the clerk of election.
The candidates ON the old poll sheet
include every thing from constable
10 Congressman and the relic is in
iensely interesting from the fact
that it depicts the development of
The political history of the county.

IT'S STILL GOOD.

A hungry fox was passing by,
Fol de rol, de ri do;
He spied some grapes Arranging high,
Fol do rol, de ri do.
He looked at them for near an hour,
But, finding them beyond his power,
He finally vowed the grapes were sour
Fol de rol, de ri do.
old Fable.
Who is there who has not heard
this old ditty in the days of their
youthg It has followed us all
through life and time and again we
have seen its teachings and lesson
exempliied in every day life. When
ever a jealous individual, placed at
disadvantage through the enter
prise Of others, finds himself unable
to compete, or meet them on a plane
of equality, through laziness, lack
of ambition or incompetency, he in
variably, like the tabled fox, at
tempts to discredit the work of his
more enterprising neighbors. 1t was
true in the old days and it's true
today. The above is printed for the
benefit of those whom it affects
others won't mind it.

Judge Galloway's recent decision
in the university referendum case,
wherein he holds the referendum pc

frauds discovered therein, strikes
another blow at a nefarious system
which is doing much to make Ore

The primary motive of the referen-

but, under its present working in
this state, it leaves much to be de-

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The people of Oregon are going to
have an opportunity to say whether
or not they want the capital punish
ment for murderers to continue as a
law in this state, Governor West
having declared that he will take
steps to submit the question to a
vote of the people at the general
election in 1912 In his statement
the governor says: "Capital punish
ment is either right or wrong. | be-
lieve il wrong He further states
that If the people shall declare for
hangings, "their sentence shall be
carried out in each and every ease.
Previous TO such time as the ques-
tion shall be decided at the polls,
the governor will grant reprieves
until after the settlement of the
question. In support of his conten-
tion in opposition to hanging the
governor produces testimony from
the chief executives of several states
where the extreme penalty has been
abolished, all of whom declare that
the change is satisfactory aud that
there has been no increase in crime.
The Observer does not believe that
fear of the hangman's moose or the !
electric chair ever yet prevented
murder. The man with murder
in his heart is fend at the
moment he commits the crime. An
ger has overcome his reason and. 4
without a thought of the consequent
ces, he kills. Laws must be made
and enforced for the protection of
society but TO claim that, 10 abolish
capital punishment, would result in
increase in the number of murders,
Is unsound reasoning.
That many murderers have gone
unpunished in this country. is un-
doubtedly true, and therein lies the
greatest danger to society if one
believes thar laws and their punish
ment Influences the heart Of the
criminal What We need is ngid
and complete enforcement Of the
laws that We have rather than con
tenhon over the manner Of doing II.
But. as Governor West has well
said. changing is a relic Of barbar-
ism" and ne excuse for it can Be
found in modern life. To argue the

Messiah and that his special mission
is to save the world from the De-

bullets fired at him by the police
