Tip Top, BIedsoe Co.

Just one more letter from this resort
will be sufficient to let your readers
know the Importance of Tip Top as a
summer retreat
Since my last communication Mr..
r. B. Schoolfied moved his family to
his summer home here, but he could
not Withstand the stiffness here and
soon left to dwell in the hustling town
of Pikevile.
Mr.. James Vaughn spends about
half the time here hunting bee-trees,
Ed Boyd and Will Vaughn spend the
nights here but cannot be separated
from their friends in the valley during
the day.
John Vaughn stays with his family
here when he is not in Pikeville or in
the woods with his hounds.
Capt. HCtChins and Mr.. Ogden
spent a pleasant time here last week
following John Vaughn and his dogs
as they chased the fox and deer over
the hills and hollows of this mountain.
Mr.. j. c. Myers spends the nights
with his family but cannot be wean
ed from the hustling little city of
Pikeville.
Bob Myers also comes up sometimes
at night for he is 10th to be this far
from certain One(s) in that hustling
town of Pikeville.
Ray Schoolfield seems lonely also
when he and Sam Hall are not netting
butterflies and hornets. They already
have a collection that tue Smithsonian
Institu would be glad to possess.
Rev. Summit and Shugart came up
last week to see after the spiritual
welfare Of this place
Mrs. Laura Hale, Of Des MOines,
Iowa, is here with her parents and
sister.

We could not get along without jim
Vaughn, il, and his wagon for he
keeps the road in prime condition.
family to spend the remainder of his
vacation. He enjoys the pure air and
sparkling water, but cannot bear the
bites of the invisible insects.
Miss Bessie Pope is here getting
ready to attend the picnic that is to be
enjoyed this week.
1t has been quite cold here for sew
eral days and all the men on the West
Side have been compelled to wear their
coats, much to their chagrin, and old
fashioned log fires are kept going all
day.
If you wish to get away from the
heat and noise of the city come up
here and breathe the pure air of the
mountain at Tip-Top.

Since have written the News many
changes have occurred. Several chang
es in politics have happened. | said

President. My statement was contra
dicted by many, but | knew better
than they, for my prophecy came to
pass. Owing to prejudice on the part
of some [ suspended my correspondence
to the News until after the August
election to avoid a clash among friends
and hope that after all is over and the
white flag of peace is hoisted, that all
political factions may smoke the pipe
of peace and get few good nights of
sleep and dream Of the good old sum
mer times in the bygone days of our
ancestors.
The whole upper end of Marion
County was shocked and it is very sad
indeed for us to pen the death of Nan
cy White, the aged widow of the late
RObt N. White, who died at the
home of her son, Rev. G. W. White,
Monday, Aug. 5, at the ripe old age of
81, and was laid to rest at the White
Cemetery on Aug. in the presence of
a large congregation of friends and
relations. Robt. N. White and Nan
cy Cunningham were married in Chat
tanooga about 1880, and raised a large
family to their union of ten. Among
the living are R. j. and Rev. j. L,

HE MAD ETH ERAILWAY SETTLE

Chief Clerk Caldwell of the state
bureau of inspection was at one time
district claim agent for one of the
railroads of the state. He was sent
out TO inspect a cattle guard where a
COW had been killed. The owner said
the COW had crossed the guard and
was killed on the roads right of way
while the engineer of the train that
killed the animal said the accident
happened on the highway crossing,
Il took with me from station near

pay them 81 each for their time and
trouble, the customary price. 1t
took us half an hour to make our in

village l asked the blacksmith what l
should pay him.
well he said. I value my time
in my shop at 80 cents an hour, and
1 have been gone half an hour. You

MOTOR BUS STREET CARS.

Lord Mantagu, vice president OF
the Automobile Club Of Great Britain
and a student Of transportation meth
DDS has been noticing traffic con-
ditions in New York city and says that
motor buses should be used in place Of
street cars.
The notorious, in his opinion, has
been developed until it is a better
means Of public transportation than
the street car. It can be operated. he
says, at a cheaper cost per passenger
and per mile than the street car. ow-
ing to the fact that it needs no per-
manent way: it can take on and dis
charge passengers at the side Of the
street. and it can move more freely
in the streets.
The possibility OF the motorbus
supplanting the street car has been
recognized by street railway men for
several years" says the Chicago
Record Herald. IF. as Lord Mon
tagu claims, nearly all those who
have studied traffic problems in the
older countries are losing their faith
in tramcars and are turning their at
tontion to the free-wheeled machani-
cal vehicle it would be we'll for AM
erican cities to study the operation Of
the notorious in Paris and London.
Not to have tracks in the streets and
not to have the noise Of street cars
would be a blessing to the public, to
say nothing of the flexibility Of oper-
alton possible with the notorious"
The development OF the notorious
as a passenger carrier might also
serve small cities such as Pen
dleton where a regularly equipped
street car business might not pay.

VOTES FOR WON EN-

The California women are still an
object lesson TO antis and progressives.
I They so beautifully refute all the ar
guments that We're used by the first
and SO gloriously fulfill all the pro-
phecies OF the second. The following
clipping from a Los Angeles paper
tells the story:
Los Angeles women yesterday had
the first chance to vote directly on
measures Of great importance to the
community. and they took advantage
OF the opportunity, with a vim which,
delighted the election officers. In
many precincts there were as many
women voters as men. Their minds
We're made up when they entered the
polling places and they quickly filled
out the ballots. They showed great
er promptitude than the men in most
cases.
Women in every walk Of life We're
represented. Some carried babies in
their arms. Others bore packages Of
meats and vegetables. Society wo-
men drove up in automobiles. Work
ing girls hurried out at noon or stop
ped on their way home to vote.
1t was women's day and they ar
rived early at the polls. usually bring
ing a friend or two. They We're bus
iness like and set the pace.
Mrs. John Beardsley of Huntington
drive and Alhambra road. who took
a prominent part in the suffrage cam
paign. voted early. owing TO the con-
solidation OF five precincts, she had
TO ride several miles on three differ
ent street car lines. The trip con-
sumed an hour and a half, but she
considered the time we'll spent.
Women have said for long time
they should have voice in municipal
matters which affect everyone so
much and now that they have a voice
in affairs. they should exercise it un-
failingly, no matter what happens"
said Mrs Beardsley. And this year
there were so many interesting ques-
tions. l would not have missed the
chance TO add my vote if it had re-
quired the whole day. There We're
the street railway rate fixing ordi-
nance. the tuberculin test and the
aqueduct investigation board which
keemed especially important, although
the other three propositions also were
important.
4 believe most of the women vot-
ed today because it was their first OPP
portuniJy TO show their real interest
in the city's affairs by voting direct
" for measures. Hitherto they have
voted for people to carry out the laws.
This time they were voting for the
laws and enjoying equal rights with
the men in determining what laws
shall be put into effect. Moreover
our district has recently been taken
into Los Angeles and it was our first
chance to vote on municipal affairs,
SO most of Us in this neighbOrhOOd
availed ourselves Of our rights"

AN IMPRACTICAL MEASURE.

Without knowing it some estimable
men who are trying to solve the
school problem in Oregon are pre-
pairing to make the situation worse
instead of better. They have drafted
a bill to place o. A. c. and the Uni
versity of Oregon under a single
board of regents to be composed Of
seven men named by the governor. In,
the Portland Sunday papers w. K
Newell, chairman of the committee,
sets forth arguments in behalf of the
plan. His statements show his good
intentions but lack of close knowledge
of the subject with which he is deal
ing.
Placing the schools under the con-
troll of a single board won't take
them out of politics and end conten-
ton. On the contrary the plan will
force each institution to play politics
all the time. The school that fails to
do so will lose out for the board will
be captured by the enemy. To stop
what he considers a cat fight Mr..
Newell plans to tie the cats by their
tails and throw them over the clothes
lire. 1t would not be a good remedy
even If his conception of the cat fight
were right.
But Mr. NewelTs idea Of the diff
ferences between the two schools is
wrong The rivalry is of healthy
nature and is doing good rather than
harm. The menace to the schools is
from without rather than within the
institutions. 1t comes on one hand
from misguided or revenge seeking
labor men and on the other from the
efforts of distinguished and well
meaning men who have been called
to help the schools and are trying to
prescribe something without first
making a thorough diagnosis.
The chief drawback to the one
board plan is that the work done by
the two schools is so dissimilar that
a board that would properly manage
one school would not be good board
for the other school. The university
deals with cultural subjects while
the agricultural college is a technical
school. Men who can say whether or
not a Greek course is as ii should be
are not likely to be good men to pass
upon courses in dairying and horti-
culture or TO inspect the various ex
pertinent stations conducted by o. A.
G. Mr.. Newell says in defense Of his
bill that this is an age Of centraliza-
ton. He forgets It is also an age OF
specialization. It would not be wise to
carry the Capitalization policy TO the
extent Of having one board manage
two schools occupying such widely |
different fields as o. A. c. and the
University Of oregon. IT could do the
schools no possible good and might
result in much injury. !

FELLOWSHIP.

When a man amt got a cent,
An he's feeling kind of blue,
An the clouds hang dark and heavy
An work won't let the sunshine
through,
It's a great thing, o my brethren,
For a fellow just to lay
bis hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort of way.
1t makes a man feel queerish;
1t makes the tear drops start,
an you sort of feel fiutter
In the region Of your heart.
You can't look up and meet his eyes,
You don't know what to say,
When his hand is on your shoulder
In friendly sort of way
On. the worlds a curious compound
With its honey and its gall,
With its cares and bitter crosses;
But a good world after ALL
An good God must nave made it,
Leastwise, that is what I say
When hand is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort of way.
