Engineers Report Unfavorable

Washington, January H.-Unfavorable
report from the army engineers on a
$50 900 impounding reservoir project
for the headquarters of the Ohio. Monon-
gahela and Allegheny rivers was sent to
the House of Representatives today. A
special board held that the limited ex-
tent to which the proposed reservoirs
would aid navigation and control flood
waters would not warrant the govern
ment in spending s200o0.00o.
The report advised also against govern
ment cooperation in the construction of
the reservoirs and suggested 10 per cent
as the maximum proportion of the cost
to be borne by the government should a
plan of cooperation be agreed upon.

A great lecture on Mormanism
was delivered Tuesday the 18th, by

Any effort to describe an address by

that terrible arraignment ofthis arch
enemy of the home, can ever have
any other attitude toward it other
than one of bitter opposition to it.

The Home Paper

1t wants you on it's reading
list, recorded on its books, and
then you'll get it every week and
know just how it looks.
1t will tell you all about the
news, in this and nearby towns,
who gets married, dies, is born,
and who elopes or browns.
There isn't thing from A to
D that tends to help the town.
that the paper doesn't catch it
up and quickly pass it round.
1t tells about your visitors,
with titles emphasized, while all
their points of merit are freely
generallzed.
1t tells the story of success,
but screens the failure side, and
when the facts will make a mess,
it simply let's them slide.
1t tells about your virtues, and
overlooks your sins, and puts an
extra emphasis upon the birth
of twins.
1t never deigns to tell a lie ex-
cept in personal praise, and then
it does it clear and strong, and
with its choicest phrase.
In writing up your marriage,
it elaborate with care, and says
the bride was beautiful and the
groom was on the square.
1t doesn't matter who it is that
crosses Jordan's river, the paper
tickets him as saint, and safely
sends him thither.
1t tells about that darling boy
who had a dollar raise, leaves
out his measley little tricks and
just recites his praise.
And there's your daughter on
the street, gadding night and
day, of all the rumor slow or
fleet, it wisely does not say.
1t paints out every blemish on
the picture of your life, and
paints in every virtue of a home
that has no strife.
It learns to read between the |
lines and find the tender spot,
to blow not cold on young or old,
when the blowing should be hot.
1t senses all the skeletons be-
hind the closet door and runs it's
big blue pencil through the lines
that turn them DER.
1t knows about your weakness
es, your little streaks of yellow,
Just how to smother i'll reports
Or make them smooth and mel
low.
It knows what families live in |
peace, and those most apt to jar,
and whether it's just a birth
mark, or a sad domestic scar.
1t knows the man who pays,
and the one who could but won't
and all the chronic knockers,
and the one who makes a "bunt."
1t knows the financial standing
of every man in town, and
whether it's living or cheerlesS
giving, that constantly keeps
him down.
Unlike the city dailies that
delve in scandals sewer, it elm
mates the sewage and retains
the good and pure, 0narga
