Preliminary Work.
The idea. which now appears to be
bearing fruit had its inception almost a
year ago. and the projectors of the enter
prise. which had as its object the opening
and development of the whole stretch of
rolling Maryland hills as a model subur-
ban section, worked for months before

Moving slowly at first. they sought OPP
tons on q succession of farms along the
line of the proposed development, and
many of the farms were obtained at prac-
tically nominal prices. Some inkling leak
ed out that farms were being sought. and
after that prices scared upward more or
less rapidly, though the promoters OF the
new company finally secured all of the
land necessary to give them a straight
away stretch from the junction of Brad
ley lane and Wisconsin avenue at a
point near Bethesda, TO Great Falls

Undoubtedly one of the features of
greatest interest in Bradley Hill will be
the park which is to be provided at the
Maryland side of the picturesque Great
Falls Of the Potomac. This park will be
fully 100 acres in area, and within its
boundaries there will be scores OF ideal
spots for picnickers. not the least at
tractve of which will be the shores and
islands of the lake named Lake Lucerne,
because its rocky islands and precipitous
shores give il the semblance, in mina-
ture of the famed lake of Switzerland

VICTIM OF POLK FERTILITY
FouF-POlnt Buckhorn Embedded In
Seven-Inch Oak Grub.

A curiosity in the form of a deer's
horn imbedded In portion of an OAK
grub is onexhibition at the
Dallas Mercantile Company's store
and is attracting a great deal of at
tention and comment. 1t was sent in
by John Stats. OF Airlie, for display
at the coming harvest festival and
carnlval.to be held in DAlas next
month, and consists OF section of an
oak grub about seven inches in diam
eter. which is pierced through the
center by four-polnt buckhorn. The
tree Is Judged to be about 80 years
old. and the manner In which the horn
became lodged in the oak is a per-
picking question which furnishes end
less subject for discussion among
those who stop to look at 1t.
Accompanying the display is the
following letter from MIR. Staats.
which proves conclusively that Polk is
NOT alone preeminent for its prolific
prunes;

Sweet potatoes should be dug on a

On "A small scale they may be dug
with spading fork. and great care
should be taken that the roots do not
become bruised or injured in the proc

the roots should lie exposed for two

silly legislation which can only ham
per their progress and thwart their
| Intentions.
Competition is necessary and bene-
fetal in all lines of business. but nor
where is it more so than in railways.
To induce the building of new roads,
and encourage their extensions, liberal
laws for their government should be
enacted. In adoption of these meas
ures it is not necessary to hedge them
about with restrictions. There Is a
welI-defined line, marked by sound
Judgment, and business methods,
which will give to the people and to
the railroads alike, exact justice. To
such measures, the competent railway
official will not interpose an objec-
ton. If he does, he should be
straightway shown that the people
mean business and that the roads
must obey the laws.
The railroads are vitality Interested
in the development of the country.
1t means money to them. No other
factor in our nation is so persistent in
bringing in new eettlers and in plac-
ing the attractions of the various To-
calities before the people at large,
than the railroad companies, and NO
other organization spends so much
money in advertising. They cxpcn1
each year large sums in attracting
homeseekers, and each new settler in
city or on farm adds just that much
to the wealth and development of the
country
Operations of railroad companies
should be regulated and restricted,
but let us employ common, horse
sense in such methods.

That They Thrive Only In the South

THE JUDICIAL RECALL.

President Tafts position in opposi-
tion to the judicial recall as evidenced
by his veto of the statehood BILL can
not fail to meet the approval of all
calm, fair-minded men. If there. is
any institution in our structure of
government that should be freed
from the Vaccinations of petty poll
ticians and the travail of the disturb
er, it is our judicial system. For years
the trend of opinion has been to lift
the courts above politics and place
them on a higher plane. In many
states the judiciary is now in nom
partisan position and in all cases
where this reform has been adopted
the courts have enjoyed a reputation
for fairness that does not prevail else
where To subject the judicial ermine
to attacks from popular fickleness Is
to cheaper the entire fabric of govern
ment and place it on par with the
ordinary office holder.
Subject to certain restrictions the
recall is evidence of a higher order of
government, but there have been so
many instances in recent months,
both in Oregon and elsewhere, of
abuse of that privilege, that additional
provisions are necessary or the entire
proposition Is endangered. 1t is dis
tasteful enough to see a movement to
remove some official who is evidently
doing his best to perform his duty
merely to satisfy the fancied grievance
Of some man, or clique Of men, and to
extend this privilege to our judges
would be to embarrass our courts and
weaken even the foundations Of what
should be, and is, our most sacred in
stitution. Under the provisions of the
judicial recall it is possible for a man,
or a corporation, incensed at what he
or they believe to be an unjust decis-
ion. or prejudiced position, to inau-
gurate a movement for a recall, and
involve the people in bitter cam
paign OF recrimination and generous
abuse.
With the judicial recall In force the
judiciary is simply subject to the
whims of political shysters and petty
grafters, which menaces its opera
tions and hinders its judgment 1t will
cheaper the positions of honor and
trust upon the bench and have a ten
dency to make the men who hol6 |
these positions mere puppets, and
lend to their decisions the instability
which is sure to prevail when fear of
public opinion governs their actions
