ABOUT ROADS.

This is an era of Good Roads
agitation and construction. People
everywhere are becoming alive to
the necessity of better highways.
They are fast becoming recognized
as one OF the most valued assets a
community, county, or state can
possess. The great saving of teams
and rolling stock, as well as the In
creased speed safety and comfort
OF travel, are items worthy OF the
most careful consideration.
We are glad to note that the peo-
pie of Grant county are moving in
the matter OF good > roads, and 1t
appears to us that they are on the
right track and we shall hope to see
the proposition of Chas. H. Tlmms,
as published in the Monument Enter
prise of Dec. %, adopted and carried
out. We believe it is eminently prac-
tical and will result in a great saw
ing to the county and vastly i'm
proved condition of the roads. That
GAZETTE readers may understand
the proposition of Mr. Timms, we
give herewith the petition which
he has prepared for presentation to
the County Court:
To the Honorable County Court, for
Grant County, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
We realize that good roads are one
Of the most valuable assets ofacoun-
ty, and that the present system of
road building is failure and waste
OF money, therefore, we being tax
payers of Grant County, Oregon,
petition your honorable body, to ap-
point one practical road builder,
worthy Of salary of $3.50 or $500
per month, (even though you may
have to go outside the county to
make the selection) to act as Road |
Master over all the roads within the
county, thereby centralizing theroad
work to one practical head.

Musicians and sneezins.

Nobody can dispute the sincerity Of
the players in big orchestra like the
Philharmonic or the New York Sym
phony. Most Of the time they take
their work seriously, but sometimes
the men break loose and play tricks on
one another as though they were
youngsters in school. OF course the
audience knows nothing of these
things; they're usually perperated in
Sehearsals.
The red pepper trick is the common
est. The joixers scatter it where the
bassoon and trombone players are like
" TO suck 1t mp. The result is chokes
and sneezes. Sometimes the epidemic
reaches even into the strings, but OF
course the players on the wind instru-
ments get 1t worst.
AS a matter of fact. the jokers are
playing with fire. "A confirmed
sneezer cal't get a job in good or
chestra. no matter how good per
former he may be-" said a consistent
concert goer Think Of the effect Of
rousing sneeze on a pianissimo!
Why. il would spoil whole concert
one sneeze would A conductor has to
guard against a sneeze as he does
against inebriety"-Ne York Sun.

ALuekx Game of Chess.

A story is told of the Moorish prince
Abul Hejex. who was thrown into
prison for sedition by his brother Mo
manned king of Granada. There he
remained for several years until the
king, fearing he might escape, placed
himself at the head of a fresh revolt
and seized the crown, ordering one Of
his pashas to see to his Immediate ex-
ecution. Abul Hejex was playing at
chess when the pasha came and babe
him prepare for death The prince
asked for two hours respite. which
was refused. After earnest entreaty
he obtained permission to finish his
game. He was in no hurry about the
moves, we are told, and well for him
he was not, for before an hour had
elapsed q messenger brought the news
that Mohammed had been struck dead
by apoplexy. and Abul was forthwith
proclaimed king of Granada. 1t was
indeed a small favor for the pasta to
grant, but 1t altered the whole current
of the kings career.

Elephant Humor.

The courage Of lion at bay. great
as it is, is no greater than that Of the
buffalo, and he must yield his scepter
to the elephant. declares II. L. Tangye
in his book. "In the Torrid sudan as
to courage, size, strength and intelli-
gence. 1t is temptation to declare
that the elephant possesses a sense of
humor A herd of elephants once fell
in with a train of donkeys. Their
attention concentrated on the load the
donkeys carried. With all the mischief
Of monkeys, the loads were torn
asunder and their contents distributed
over half the province. At Bor. on
the Mountain Nile. the elephants were
at one time full of practical jokes.
Passing at night time through the vii
lage, they would knock the sleepers
up by demolishing their huts above
their heads. then contentedly march

of Paul GeideI Begins
in New York.

New York, Aug. Paul Geidel, the
bellboy accused of the murder Of VIII
liam II. Jackson In the Hotel lroquois
on July 26 last, Is on trial before
Judge Grain in Part II. of general SEES
stons. Geidel is a wreck. His eyes
show much weeping. He scarcely
looks his age of seventeen and shows
none Of the GOODNESS and self restraint
often seen In men accused of murder
James c. Cleary and G. Gray, the
counsel for Geidel, had kept dark the
line of defense which they intended to
employ. 1t was therefore something
of A sensation when the defense start
ed by demanding an adjournment on
the ground that the most important
witness for the defense was not pres
ent in court. Frederick Sheehan,
counsel said, was the important wit
ness name, and he came from Scran-
ton. Adjournment vas refused, and
the missing witness reported In court
a few minutes later. While question
ing the first juror the defense asked
and obtained the privilege Of having
Mrs. Geidel, the boys mother, sit pc
tween the boys counsel and help them
pick jurors.
Assistant District Attorney Mott,
conducting the prosecution and backed
by District Attorney Whitman, who
was present In court, made vigorous
objection to Mrs. GeideIs being allow
ed In the foreground OF the trial, but
was overruled.
Six Jurors have been accepted.

ORANGE BOARD
HEARS OF GRAFT
Alderman P. A. Smith Tells
of Bride Offer.

Orange, n. j., Aug. PA wrangle in
the Orange common council that has
lasted since the beginning of the year,
when a division occurred on appoint
ments, has resulted In graft charges.
Alderman Patrick A. Smith said in
the presence Of most Of the council
that S4OO had been offered to him if he
would change his attitude on a certain
appointment. He lntimated also he
would reveal graft in connection with
the recent award of a scavenger con
tract. He tried to make the statement
In the council, but vas ruled u OF Or
der by Chairman Coleman. Angered
by the appointment of Patrick De1g-
nan as assistant to Frank q. Cough
ley, collector of taxes, Smith, who had
led the faction In favor of Joseph
Mulvihill, the first choice, tried imme-
diately after the first vote to make
his statement on the floor.
This man Deignan," said Smith
a~fterward, was put up as a CANDIDATE
because some of the aldermen were
sore about the failure Of Bernard Fin
neran to get the Job of tax assessor.
l can take an affidavit that l was Of
fered $500 If I would support Fin
neran. Later on I am going to tell
something about that scayenger con
tract"
Alderman Henry T. Stetson ex-
pressed satisfaction at Smiths utter
ances.

things" he said. Rumors of dishonesty
In connection with the scavenger con
tract have been afoat In the city since
June. 1t Is also asserted Smith is not

gowns are said to have been marvels
OF beauty. The one which she wore
to the coronation was embroidered
with pearls. That which she donned
for the state banquet, which was the
most intimate affair given for the rep
resentat1ves of foreign nations, was a
pale blue embroidered gown in moon
light effect. Ethel's cousin has just
arrived from London and has told me
all about the coronation.
1t is of the queens own gown that
you would like to hear. Whatever
else may be said of the royal lady,
there is no doubt that she Is immense
ly charitable ard patriotic. Her ex-
press stipulation was that every
thread Of her coronation inery should
be Of English material, made by Eng
fish hands. The embroidery on the
coronation gown was done at the
royal embroidery school at Bralntree.
The kings aunts, the Duchess of
Argyll and Princess Henry of Batten-
berg, who are ~patronesses Of the
school, are very artistic In their tastes
and took great interest in the execu-
ton Of the work. After the fabric
was embroidered 1t vas turned over
to London dressmakers, who made 1t
up into the severely plain princess
gown seen in the photograph. The
material is of deep ivory duchess
satin. The rose, shamrock and thistle
grow upon the tree that spreads over
the front of the dress. Around the
bottom Of the skirt are lilies and lotus
blossoms on a representation of
waves. OF course you know the rose
Is for England, the shamrock for Ire
land and the thistle for Scotland. The
lotus represents India and the water
the seas of the empire. 1t is quite
emblematic, you see. In the front Of
the gown the star of India is envel-
oped by n rose, shamrock and thistle
design.

TARIFF DISCUSSED
BY BOTH BRANCHES
Cummins Resolution Up in
Senate, Hobson Presents
House Drastic Bill.
(American News Service)

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE senate
temporarily laid aside the Lorimer con-
troversy today the Cummins resolution
providing for an amendment of the
tariff. schedule by schedule, being
under discussion.
Senator Newlands spoke at length
on the Cummins resolution, declaring
that the country is dissatisfied with
the Payne-Aldrich bill and with the
methods pursued by congress in tariff
revision.
1T may be conceded" he said, that
at this session of congress a perma-
nent tariff commission of independent
experts will be provided for. with full
power to investigate facts. Whether
they will be given the power of recon-
mendation or the power Of condemna'
ton under the rule fixed by congress.
remains to 10, seen. 1t is also clear
that there is a disposition o confine
the power of the amendment to the
particular schedule or subject under
consideration. without. however, inter
fering with the right of a member to
introduce. or of the congress to con-
slider a bill for general revision.
Senators Don't Agree.
Senators who have thus far dis
cussed this subject do not quite agree
as to how the power of amendment
should be limited. the senator from
Iowa insisting that there should be a
| joint resolution binding upon both
houses: the senator from Massachu-
sets that there should be a rule of
each house. and the senator from
Rhode Island that it is a waste of time
trying to establish artificial rules for
government OF future congresses and
that the only method is through the
concurrence and assent, as the occas
ion arises. of the majority of the two
houses. The conditions thus far de.
veloped indicate how difficult 1t will be
to establish a method of procedure
without which the creation of a tariff
commission will be practically with.
