 We learn with satisfaction that the county judge has already taken steps toward the erection ot a new court house and that he has appointed three of the best and most capable men in the county as commissioners to as- sist him in the supervision and erection of the building. We de- sire to compliment the county judge upon his selection of these commissioners and we feel like the citizens of Nevada County will get the services of three of the most capable men in the county for this work. We only hope that by the next January term of this court sthat the new court house will be completed and can be used by the court at that time, as the present struc- ture is respected to be in a very dilapidated and unsafe condition.
 In conclusion we desire to con- graduate the bar of Nevada county upon their selection of such an efficient and able lawyer as your Honor to preside over this term of our circuit court as special judge, and we wish fur ther to thank Your Honor for the many courtesies extended our body by you. We desire also to thank the other officers of the court for their kind and court eous treatment extended to us and especially do we desire to thank our bailiff, Hon. H. P.

A curious fact, to which the construc-
ton of the Panama canal calls atten-
ton, is that great difference exists
in the range of the rise and fall of the
tides between the Atlantic and Pacific
sides of the isthmus. The mean level
of the oceans is the same OH both sides.
but at Colon the mean range from high
to low water is only about seven
inches, whereas at Panama it is more
than twelve feet. This great differ
ence Is explained by the existence of a
tidal node which prevents the Atlantic
tide from entering the Caribbean sea.
Panama, on the other hand, lies at one
corner of the triangular area of the
north Pacific ocean. and in areas of
that shape the range of tide is usually
great at the corners.-Chicago Record

though Ill a Long Time.
Forty-seven years ago. on April 10,
1864, Abraham Lincoln wrote q per-
sonal letter to the postmaster general,
asking that official to employ Miss Su-
san Digger. young woman of Car
linsville, ILL.,, who was the sole support
of her brother, Union soldier Grip
pied at Shiloh. Miss Digger got a
place and preserved the letter reli-
giously.
Secretary MacVeagh after reading
the same letter. though the paper has
yellowed with age and the ink is dim,
ordered that Miss Dugger's name be
not dropped from the treasury's list of
employees, though she has been i'll
more than a year. When an employee
has been absent without pay that
length of time it is customary to strike
the name from the rolls.
Senator Culom took the letter to
Secretary MacVeagh, who promised
that Miss Digger may have her old
position if she is ever able to work
again. She is now seventy years old.
Miss Digger was transferred from the
postotfice to the treasury soon after
President Lincoln's letter got her en-
ployment and became an expert in de-
tecting counterfeit money She has
handled billions of dollars-some good
and many bad-during her years of

To BRING the Sea to Paris.

Paris is actively agitating the prof
eCt of charging the bed of the Seine
SO rs to bring seagOiDg vessels to the
French capital, and the general opin-
ion is that the scheme is entirely prac-
teal and is what Paris needs above
all for its future prosperity. The So
CO000e which is annually paid for the
transport Of freight from Paris to Lon
don in order to he resbipped will be
partly saved. Besides. the metaIurgi
cal aud industrial eastern region will
have direct connection with England
and there will be no fear that a canal
from RasIc to Lausanne on Lake Gen
eva will take all the Swiss and Italian
traffic away from France. Another
point is that the $34O0O,OOO for work
claimed to be Indispensable for pre-
venting future foundations of the Seine
will not be needed. All capital put
into the Paris seaport project will
be revenue bearing.

Base Runners study the Pitchers.


Veteran base runners study the
pitchers very closely, and if they have
any mannerism or peculiar motion
when about to throw to the plate the
runner will detect it and start for sec
ond. | once knew a pitcher who had
a peculiar habit of twisting his foot
and slightly lifting his heel every time
he was about to throw to the plate.
He did not use that motion when
throwing to first. We caught on to
this popularity and stole bases by the
wholesale. That pitcher went all sea-
son without understanding why so
many bases were stolen on him. If
he had only kept that foot down we
couldn't have got the jump on him. 1t
took me several months to break young
Louis Drucke of one of these manner
isms. Hans Wagner, Joe Tinker and
others got on to him and kept the
young fellow up in the air until he

Do You Know What Year This Is7


Most of us would suppose that one
thing that we knew perfectly we'll was
what year this is. Not everybody in
the world or even in this country of
ours would admit that to say this is
the year 1911 is entirely correct. This
is by the Byzantine methods the year
7419. According to the Julian calendar
it is the year 1894 In the Jewish era
it will be until the ODD of September
the year 5G72. The ancient Romans
would have figured 1t to be the year
1904, the ancient Greeks the year 2GS7
or the third year of the six hundred
and seventy second Olympiad. The
MOhammedan considers that the year
1929 began on Jan. =. while the Japa-
nese call it the year 2571 and the
Chinese the year 45O9. At Washington
it is still reckoned as>the one hundred

pendence and as such all official pro-
