The function of the garden arch is
to locate and accentuate gateway, a
formal entrance 10 some entirely diff.
ferent scenes and surroundings 1t
marks a distinct boundary line, hence
IL is entirely misplaced when the sur.
roundings on either side OF It are sim.
liar in appearance. AS street en-
trance il will give excellent results,
but only when there is an adjoining
barrier, a hedge. a fence, or AZ least
a clump of shrubs. DO not make the
! mistake of using such an entrance in
/ a detached manner, because In that
case it is gateway without any pos
sible purpose.
Use Il as an entrance TO the wild

Garden. the chicken parks, the tennis
court, but always from one distinct
scene to decidedly different scene.
Beautiful arches are made of rough
limbs, of finished timbers, of lattice
work. of poles or wire. Each has iis
individual uses, but all are governed
by tsc same principles of artistic good
taste. In the majority of cases. pro0
ably, the arch should be covered with
vines, such as Ivy. honeysuckle, wood
bine. climbing roses. clematis, trumpet
creeper, Japanese ivy, etc.
Most Of us have no idea OF the limit
less possibilities of making our homes
attractive by proper use of the sim
pier factors of landscape gardening
and in these assets the ornamental
arch should not be overlooked.

INCOME TAX NOT A HARDSHIP
would Shift Burden to These Able to
Bear 1t.
Baltimore SUM-

The New York Sun is making fine
record for insistency by reprinting ov
er and over again certain passag =
from a speech by Mr.. Bryan which, it
seems to think, tend to show that the
proposed income tax law would wort;
a hardship upon decent citizens OF
large means
Well, assuming that to be true
which isn't-the present tax, which the
income tax is to supplant, works a
very great harship upon the decent cit
liens of small means.
The high tariff is the worst sort of
tax, because it is wasteful, costly and
productive of great incidental evils.
The poor man pays an utterly dispro-
portionate part of it, because the tax
applies to everything he eats and
drinks and wears.
If some one must be Disseminated
against, should It not be the rich man
rather than the poor man? Particularly
as the rich man can pay the tax and
not miss it.

QUEER NAMES IN CALIFORNIA
Early Settlers Gave Odd Designations
TO Streams and Lakes.


CLOS Angeles Dispatch to N. Y. Sum-
The Gazetteer Of the Surface Waters
of California, just issued, shows many
curious similarities in nomenclature,
common and favorite names having
been given TO different streams and
lakes by the early settlers, who christ
en- most of the natural features in
new countries.
Such characteristic pioneer names
as Dead man creek and Deadman Can
yon creek are applied to five different
streams; in the area covered by the
report there are ten Dry creeks, two
Hamburg creeks, two Jackass creeks,
FIVE Lion and Lion Canyon creeks, Ave

Journey In this way the loss is COM
paratively small.
Inc government was forced to adoot
this plan to prevent the elk in tba
west from going the way of the buf-
iaIo-to extinction Most of the elk in
the Rocky Mountains had ranged
north until they reached the Jackson
Hole region south of Yellowstone
Park. Here they congregated in vast
herds.
Last year Congress appropriated a
considerable sum for the care and feed
ing of Jackson Hole elk, which
were starving in the deep SHOWS. Gov
eminent employees, aided by ranch
men carried hay to the elk ranges,
where they found conditions APPALLING,
especially in the early spring. Hun
Edreds of calves, as we'll as older elk,
were dying of starvation.
The lives of thousands of elk were
saved by feeding, but it was soon de-
Imonstrated that this measure of relief
was only temporary. 1t would entail
a tremendous expense to keep up the
work of feeding, so it was determined
to distribute the elk among the states

were willing to pay the expenses of
transportation and guarantee protec-
ton to the animals after arrival.
The work of elk preservation is
unique. Had similar measures been
undertaken in behalf of the buffalo
the action would not now be mourning
the almost total loss of those animals,
which at one time were much more
numerous in the West than are the elk
today.

ommendation. The commissioners say:
The publicity given by the press
generally tends to lessen evil condi-
lions and thus rendes a useful service.
to the public. The dread of public
ity has a deterrent effect upon those
disposed or tempted to commit crime,
and it may reasonably be inferred
from the fact that NEST offenders
against law earnestly seek to AVOID
exposure of the crcumstan. es OF their
misbehavior in newspaper repots OF
their trials.
The commissioners do not believe
that the enactment of radical legis-
lation contemplated by the bill is ad-
visable."
