AR|STOCRATIC BOvINES
BOUGHT BY J. J. hill

: John c. Shaw is in receipt Of q let
ter from his brother, Thomas Shaw,
who is now in Europe purchasing
thoroughbred cattle for James ]. Hill,
giving the information that many arts.
t0cratic bovines will be added to Mr..
Hills herd. The very best which can
be found across the water are being
selected. and the question OF price 10
not entering into the matter to any
great extent, as $4,000 has been paid
for bull. and others are being
bought at CORRESPONDENCE high prices.
The letter states that twenty-eight
shorthorns and twelve Ayrshires have
been purchased. and that the writer
has visited many lands before buying
the shcrthorns, as he was determined
to get only the best. He continues:
Il am positive that we have bought
the best herd of shorthorns that ever
left England. The average price for
them was 5000, and for the Ayrshires.
$3.50. One OF the bulls cost $4,000, and
was 4.year-old at that. No one can
tell me dual purpose cattle cannot be
bred. The highest priced cattle in
England are the dual shorthorns.
Many give 10000 pounds of milk per
year. and at the same time produce
the best of beef steers. have secured
twenty-five Oxfords and twenty-five
Shropshire sheep, and Mr.. Hill has
cabled me to get three Angus bull,
and l am starting tonight for Aber-
deem, Scotland, to get them"
Before returning, Mr.. Shaw will visit
Holland for the purpose of obtaining
q herd Of Holsteins, and from there
will go to France to buy French dairy
cattle, breed little known in this
country.
Mr.. Shaw was for several years
head Of the agricultural college at
Guelph, Ontario, and was afterward an
instructor in the University Of Mime
sofa. He is the author of fifteen
works on agriculture, many Of them
being used as text books in the diff
ferent colleges, and is designated by
James J. Hill as one Of the best-if not
the best-agriculturalist in America.

Sure to be appreciated by the busy
woman is the automatic clOthesline
reel patented by Connecticut man.
When the clothes are down all that
need be done is release the line from
the posts and 1t will wind itself up in
a few moments. The reel Is made on
the principle Of the spring tape meas
ure, and, of course, Is operated by
spring. The line is wound on a circu-
lar metal support with a hinged con-
nection by which it can readily be at
tached to wall or any upright, and It
swings to left and right Of this. The
line feeds out over guide and has a
ring at the free end to prevent its be-
ing wound up too much. BY releasing
the spring the line can be paid out as
necessary to fasten it around the posts.
BY setting the spring the wheel will
revolve and wind the line up.

Simpllfied State Government Plan

In the institution of the American
scheme of government no less effort
was made to safeguard the people
against those who might by any means
attempt to deprive them of their
rights and privileges than was made
to safeguard them against their own
impatience and emotion. Hence the
entire republican system is one OF
checks and balances. The bicameral
legislature in nation and state car
ries with it precisely the same idea
of pause, extra consideration and re-
view as that found in the co-ordina-
ton of the powers of the legislative,
executive and judicial authority, and
in the veto. Representative govern
ment is necessarily government by
delegated authority. This being the
case, it was the conviction of the
fathers that the greater the number

itations, the greater assurance of the
dominance of popular will.
1t has not in these later years
worked out this way. Moreover, this
conviction obtained at a period long
anterior to the growth of another
belief that has also become cystaliz-
ed into conviction in many quarters,
namely, that the more direct and the
less roundabout the method of gov
eminent, the more certain are the
governed to maintain control over
their liberties and their affairs. The
people were much farther away from
government, government was much
farther away from the people, 1875
years ago than it Is today. In fact
the people Of today are very much
closer to the government and govern
ment Is very much closer to the peo-
pie than ever before in the history
Of the republic. AS a consequence
less authority is indirectly delegated,
more authority is directly employed;
as another consequence, there is less
occasion for complicated forms of
government, less use for large and
cumbersome and unwieldy legislative
bodies. On the other hand, there is
more occasion for simplification Of
machinery that will enable the peo-
pie to get what they are manifestly
DESTROYS Of obtaining. and what they
are determined to obtain by the
shortest cut possible.

Governor Hodges of Kansas be-

for it Of commission of sixteen
members. He does this on the ground
that the two-chamber system is mis-

Personal Property Assessments

1t is to be feared that the
Information contained in Folks
directory, which is just of the
press, may result in a reopening
of the tax question as affecting
the editorial profession. Polk is
attempting to give good deal
more Information concerning our
citizens than merely their names
and residence. Among other
things he prints the amount of
personal property upon which
taxes are paid by each citizen
listed. We note with apprehen-
sion, mingled with sorrow, that
Colonel John ]. Carney, of the
Aberdeen Herald, appears to pos
sess no personal property of any :
kind or description. His name is
printed in black-faced type, but
no magical figures, indicating
wealth, follow. On the other
hand, Mr.. Rupp, Of the World, is
listed as the proud possessor of
personal property valued at 1915,
over and above all exemptions. If
it was not for the lamentable fact
that the editor of The Washing
tonian is also not credited with
having any personal property he
would start a movement to re-
lieve Colonel Carney's deplorable
condition. Hoquiam Wash
tonian.
In the matter of assessed valua
ions, Folks directory, like the daily
papers on Grays Harbor, cannot b.
'elied upon, SO we hasten to relieve
he mind of Major Patton, in 1T
lnxiety concerning the condition o
he editor of the Herald, by assuring

dressing is dressing in good
taste. and good taste is more a
matter Of judgment than of
purse. Good dressing is being
so dressed that no one can tell
