county's supervisors think they have
been paying too much for their bridges.
An investigation has been ordered "of
the conditions and reasons for the
county paying prices so far in excess
of the market price of bridge mater
ial," which probe will be conducted by
the county attorney.
The resolutions adopted by the
board state that the county has been
paying prices 40 to 60 per cent higher
than the current market prices of steel
bridges and beams. 1t Is probable
that no contract will be let to any
bridge company for 1912 until the
countys probe has been completed
The probe was ordered at meeting

bridge companies were present, one

Methodists at Minneapolis have de-
cided to try out the old-fashioned
style of Misunderstanding by the congre-
cation at the close of church service
to see if the methods of John Wesley
and others of an early date work out
as beneficial today as they did fifty
years ago. The idea looks to be a
good one as it will have a tendency to
make the members of the congregation
much better acquainted with each
other Saltwater Gazette.
The idea is all right but the plan
will not work out successfully. Do
you suppose for a moment that the
silk-stockinged immaculates who &C.
cupy front pews would condescend to
shake hands with the poor miserable
sinners who sit on the free benches in

By a process known as enfeurage,

served apart from the fresh petals.
Those flowers are violet, jasmine, tube

with orange flower and jasmine, hya-

violet and tuberose.

Diaz, now 81 years of age, should
be perfectly willing to retire from the
presidency of Mexico and to let some
statesman of the younger school take
the reins of government. One great
trouble with Diaz is that he has not
kept abreast of the times-he has re-
NAMED in the rut of medievalism year
after year. Around him he has
gathered cabinet officers just as un-
progressive as himself in full
sympathy with his obsolete methods.
That he has been veritable dictator
who kept the peoples noses to, the
grindstone by the imposition of heavy
taxes and the refusal to grant them
the liberty enjoyed by the citizens OF
other civilized countries is charged by
the insurgents. Then, again, be is
charged with amassing an enormous
fortune at the expense of his subjects
with feathering his nest from the
public treasury. "A despot as tyran.
meal as the car of Russia" says
Madero. And there is every reason,
from ron! recent, developments, to believe
that these charges are true. So We
should refrain from too severely de.
nouncing the insurrectos men
who are fighting for better govern.
