PUMPED OIL OVERTIME
Tank Gar Pump Deposited =. =. Lake of Oil on the .'.'--"""''- RaiIrOad.TraCkS

LTkere will be no dust flying from the ballast on that part of the road-bed where the oil. tank car has been stand ing, for 8 long time to come, if there be virtue in the oil theory; for the road bed there is so thoroughly saturated with oil that the scent will finger until long after the last Early Rose potato of sum- mer has been gathered in.
 Monday noon, as Agent Finney walked up the track to his home, for lunch, his attraction was diverted to deep puddle of oil extending from be- meath the car, clear across to the main tracks. and standing inches deep in the depressions-a veritable lake of oil which was manifestly spreading and rising and threatening to float the rails. On inves- tigating he found that the pipe leading from.the pump to the barrel which had been placed to catch the dripping, after pumping into the street oiler, was de- liveringssthe oil in steady stream, into the barrel, which was full and running over.
 Not knowing how to manipulate the affair, and anxious to have the wastage stopped before the tank should empty itself ori the railroad tracks, MT. Finney ran across the street and notified MT. | Buttler, the local commissioner, but MT. Butler had not handled the pump and knew no more about it than MT. Finney. Selectman Reel was then called up by telephone, and that official directed MT. Finney to call the attention of John Vanusen. deputy inspector, to the mat ter, in the abseI ce of Inspector Hat maker. MT. VanDeusen was called up by phone, and informed of the state of affairs, and replied that he wonld see about it. Tn the meantime, however, MT. Butler. and Austin Joyce had hur- , ried to the car, and Austin soon found 8 way to shut of the flow and stop the waste.
 How much of the oil was lost is not known. Austin Joyce set to work with B pail and baiIed barre1ful from the deepest puddles, and MT. Hatmaker, who arrived later, saved some by shovel ing it upon the highway, where it would do more good. The responsibility for leaving the oil running while the whole brigade went to dinner has not been definitely placed, so far as the public knows.

STREETS OILED AT LAST
Inspector Hatmaker Distrib- utes a Tank Gar of Oil on
 Town Roads.

At last the streets are oiled; the dust -some of it-is pasted down with a substance that will "hold it for while, " and sort of relief from the dust hui sance is experienced. For time after the first application, the pungent odor filled the air and inspired many to ex- press the opinion that the oil smell was fully as offensive as the dust had ever dared to be. But after being exposed to the air for day or two the offensiveness is somewhat abated and there is little complaint on that score, and a general feeling of satisfaction over the prospect of freedom from dust for the rest of the season.
 The oil arrived, tank full of it, the last of last week. and the street oiling cart came over from Salisbury Friday. "Dave" Hatmaker. Commissioner Mac Donald's inspector for this section, ar rived on the scene Monday morning, and, with Local Commissioner Tom Butler and his staff, proceeded to spread the precious but loud-smelling stuff on all the state roads in town, scattering & thin coating of sand over it as it. was deposited.

Roosevelt for Suffrage.

Judge Lindsey of Denver went to see Roosevelt the other day and had a talk with him. Afterwards Lindsey an nounoed to the reporters that Roosevelt had come out fully and unequivocally for woman suffrage. The Colonel con- frmed the statement. The reason for his changing his former lukewarnI theo- retical belief in suffrage to actual cham pionship of it was declared to be it's practical good results as shown of late in our Western States
 People have received the news with varying feelings, corresponding with their attitude toward Roosevelt and toward suffrage. Those who believe both in suffrage and in Roosevelt are delight ed. Those who believe in Roosevelt and oppose suffrage are disgusted. CT wish l could have seen Lyman Abbott's face when he heard of itl' one woman re- marked). Those who do not believe in Roosevelt, whether they are suffragists or not, think he has done it for political effect, with an eye to winning the women's vote in the six enfranohised states. And, finally, suffragists look upon it as a cheering and encouraging fact, whether they believe in. Roosevelt or not. As Col. Higginson would say, Saul is either among the prophets-or among the profits"
