TICKET SELLER QUITS JOB
AND WINS \ TITLE

Washington.-Vls Jean Bap-
tiste de Ventura, a French nobleman
and former army officer strolling
along Pennsylvania avenue, waiting
for the time to arrive when he would
keep an engagement with friend
at the capitol, decided to while away
an hour in a moving picture show.
He started to purchase ticket at
the first theater on the route, but,
instead of buying a ticket, he got
wife and fastened to a nearby par
sonage.
Miss Althea Price was selling tick
cts at the theater, and she happened
to be the same young lady with whom
the young Frenchman had plighted his
truth months ago, only to lose all
track of her when he was called to
France to settle up an estate.
Viscount Jean Batiste came to
Washington a year ago and, becom-
ing financially embarrassed, got a
job. He happened to get a position
where Miss Price was working. He
soon lost his heart and gave up his
job to go home to get some money
which he had inherited. He was to
return as soon as he got the cash and
| make Miss Price Viscountess de Ven
tura.
Months passed. Miss Price moved
| to another boarding house, and when
the viscount returned with the cash
| he could not locate her. After months
of futile search he left Washington
and established himself in New York.
He came here on business, still on the
| lookout for Miss Price, but little be-
luck of finding her again.
When the viscount saw Miss Price,
his hat, arms and voice all went UP
| Into the air. AS soon as the girl could
! etricate herself from the realm OF
tickets in which she became entan.
gled she forgot all about business un-
til the manager of the theater hast
ened to reprove her for running hi!
trade by keeping the crowds watch
ing a show on the outside instead o.
on the inside. The viscount scoffeC
at the manager and arm in arm III
around to the residence of the Rev
w. l. Devries. The parson tied tn,
knot and the pair left on a train fol
New York, where they will reside.
"Well, I'll be -" said the man
ager of the nickleodeon. I've haC
that girl only a week. She gave VI
eight per and got title!'

A dried up old colonel and very
sent mental young lady were togeth-
er watching the sunset.
She inquired gushingiy, "Oh, col
onel, don't you love Longfellow's
poems?"
Cant say 1 do" he replied. "Nev-
er read them, in fact. Consider all
poetry absolutely drivel."
But" she persisted, Surely you
cannot help admiring this verse OF
his out of The Day Is Done you
know. And the night shall be filled
with music, and the cares which in
fest the day shall fold their tents like
the Arabs and as silently steal

filed with County Recorder Flan-
merry, here, Ghaneya, a Hindoo, pur-
chased from May Frewer five acres
of land in the Ohleyer tract, few
miles from town.
This is the first Hindoo to buy land
in this county, and, so far as known
here, in the state. Restrictions are
placed upon the sale of land to jap
anese and Chinese, but there seems
to be nothing in the state law to pre-
vent a son of India from purchasing
land wherever he pleases.
Ghaneya's unwilling neighbors are
indignant. District Attorney Schill-
ing owns a fine farm which adjoins
the Hindoo's five acres, and does not
relish his new neighbor Frank Don
aldson also has a complaint coming
The land the Hindoo bought is di-
rectly in front of his home, and Cha
neya is planning to erect a domicile
for himself near.

Hose races such as occurred on
every festal occasion several years
ago may again be seen in Pendleton
if the efforts of the Fourth of July
committee to interest the local fire
companies are successful. The prop
osition has been put up to the COM
panies and it is probable that each
will put a team in the field to de-
termine which can lay hose and get
water with the greatest speed. The
races if held, will probably occur on
West Court street SO that the crowd
at Roundup Park can witness them.

Spokane Favors
Bitu|ithic
SPOKANE Is LEARNING ALL II
CAN ABOUT ALL KINDS
OF PAVING.
Editorial in spokesman-Review:

EullbIldl III SpOheSTldfl- REVIEW.
There $ no more important problem
confronting the city of Spokane than
that of street paving.
Much has been done. Much more
is planned. 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance not only to the property own
ers and residents directly affected but
to the city at large, that the pave
ment still to be constructed should be
the best pavement that can be Sc
cured.
Toward this end there Is nothing
more valuable than the experience of
other cities. Writing from Portland,
T. s. Griffith of Spokane notes the
poor condition of the asphalt paving
and the good condition of the "bitu-
lithic" paving.
Spokane has about 22 miles of as
phalt paving and only four blocks on
Seventh avenue of "bitulithic."
Spokane has approximately three
miles Of granitoid paving. Portions
Of Indiana avenue are being laid
with "Hassam" paving. According to
Chicago and New York paving ex-
perts these two pavings are no better
than "bitulithic" in wear and are in
ferior in resiliency and ease on traf-
fic. "Bitulithic" is as cheap as
"Hassam" paving and less expensive
than "granitoid." All are declared to
be superior to asphalt.
These pavings mentioned are ad-
apted to light traffic. For the heavy
traffic of large city the experience
of both Chicago and New York has
demonstrated that cresote blocks are
superior to any other paving, includ-
ing granite cobbles.
The experience of other cities need
not be taken as conclusive, but, con-
sidering the amount of paving still
to be done in Spokane, too much m
formation cannot be secured regard
ing the value Of the various types of
paving before actual construction Is
undertaken.
