DECLARES STATES SHOULD
CONTROL OWN HIGHWAYS
Jonathan Bourne Against U. s.
Directing Work.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-That
state authorities, rather than Federal
officers, are the best judges of what
roads are needed or should be i'm
proved, and the character of the inn
provement, is the opinion of Jonathan
Bourne, jr., chairman of the joint
committee on federal aid to good
roads.
while I believe in Federal aid to
good roads," he said today. Il do not
believe the government should en-
tirely assume nor the States abandon
control of road improvement. Use OF
roads will always be chiefly local
and in my opinion, highway authori-
ties should always be responsive to
the chief users of the roads. This
responsiveness can be best maintained
if the men In authority are account
able to the people of the State. For
this reason, in part, my plan for
Federal aid requires that each State
receiving National aid shall have a
State highway commission vested
with authority over the expenditure
of the highway funds.
at Is important that there should
be a strong and active highway de-
partment in each State. To make the
State road departments wholly sub
servient to a Federal bureau would
rob them of authority, relieve them of
responsibility, destroy their initiative
and diminish their interest and COM
potency. We need cooperation be-
tween State and National highway
officials. not subserviency of one to
the other. My suggested plan insures
this result.
Moreover, to place highway con-
struction and maintenance solely I'M
der the control of a Federal bureau
would open the way for building up
an immense organization, easily used
for political purposes and forming a
machine that would practically con-
troll the politics of the country"

Finds Vein of Coal

William Patterson, son of Duncan
Patterson OF Cashmere, the we'll known
pioneer of Chelan county, has discov-
cred what he believes will be better
than a gold mine for the Wenatchee
valley, says the Wenatchee World.
This is a coal claim located two miles
from Cashmere up the Nahahum Can
yon. 1t is easily accessible and the
young man will go to Seattle to try to
interest expert coal men in his find.
The vein shows about Is inches Of
clear coal and it is traceable for three
or four miles. There is evidence Of
coal in numerous places in Chelan
county but so far no systematic work
has been done towards developing
these veins. With enormous deposits
of coal in the CleElum and Roslyn dis
tricts just across the Wenatchee noun
tains from this valley, it would seem
reasonable to suppose that veins could
be discovered in this section as well.

PASSENGER TRAIN KILLS
TWO MEN AT TRINIDAD
Accident Unavoidable Says Fireman
Burke-Light Engine Hits Speeder
Near Chiwaukum

Two men, an engineer and fireman
working for Guthrie & McDougall
were killed near Trinidad yesterday,
when handcar which they were rid
ing was struck by passenger No. l.
The collision took place on a curve,
and there was a high wind blowing &C
cording to Fireman Burke, who ar
rived here about two hours later,
which would prevent the men on the
handcar from hearing the approaching
engine. Neither the fireman nor En-
gineer DeRush saw the car until they
struck it. The train was stopped,
when it was found that one of the men
had been killed outright, and the other
was in a dying condition. The in
jured man never regained conscious
ness and died before reaching Wenat-
chez.
A light engine in charge of Engi-
neer Haney crashed into a gasoline
speeder carrying four men, near Chi
waukum yesterday afternoon about foul
O'Clock. DR.. Hoxsey was on the en-
CINE returning from Chiwaukum where
he had gone on No. /, two hours be-
fore, and dressed the wounds Of the
injured men. The speeder was total
wreck, but none Of the men were ser
iously injured.

Man Has Both Hands Cut Off

Gus Johnson, Swede laborer who
has been employed in one of the con-
struction camps up the Columbia river,
and came to this city to spend few
days, had both hands cut off on the
railroad track last Friday morning.
The accident occurred near the coal
chute, and from all reports the man
had laid down on the tracks and gone
to sleep. When found he was still
sleeping, altho both hands had been
mangled. DR.. Hoxsey dressed the
wounds and sent the man to Wenat-
chez hospital. Reports received here
yesterday were that he was recovering.

MASTER THIEVES.
The Bhattees Aim to Attain Perfection
In the Art of Stealing.

The Bhattees are an East Indian
tribe that devote their whole atten-
ton to attaining perfection in the
art of stealing. From their earliest
years their youth are trained to en-
dure the greatest fatigue with COM
parative ease.
Among other accomplishments
which the young Bhattee must ac-
quire by constant practice, the fol-
lowing are indispensable:
He must learn to bleat like a
sheep, bark like dog, crow like a
cock, bray like an ass and initiate
the movements of all kinds of ami
mails. He must be able to crawl
along the ground, run like goat or
a dog or stand on his head with his
legs extended wide SO as to appear
in the dusk like the stump of tree.
In connection with this last men
toned requirement a story is told
of a cavalry sentinel who while
standing on duty on one occasion
heard something move about the
head ropes Of his horse. On looking
round he saw what he supposed to
be a large dog, which ran between
his legs and nearly upset him. He
suspected, however, that some rogu-
cry was on foot, and the better to
detect it he placed himself behind
what appeared to be the stump OF a
tree, at no great distance from the
spot on which he had been pre-
viously standing.
He then hung his helmet on the
supposed stump, and, bent on the
most attentive scrutiny, he placed
his head between the two limbs Of
the tree, so as, unperceived, to com
mand direct view of the quarter
from which the noise had at first
proceeded.
This, however, was too much for
the thief (for such in reality was
this would be tree stump, who, un-
able any longer to restrain his laugh
ter and finding his situation some
what critical, suddenly performed a
somersault, upset the astonished sol
der, made off with his helmet and
was seen no more.-London Tele-
graph.

THINKING ALOUD.
A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley
and Formed a Friendship.

One of the earls of Dudley, who
was addicted to the practice of
thinking aloud, found himself in a
very awkward predicament on a
certain occasion. He was to spend
the evening at the house of friend
and ordered his carriage early, as he
had long drive back to his own
home.
When the hour arrived the car
riage was not Forthcoming. Seeing
that Lord Dudley was considerably
annoyed by the delay, one of the
guests, whose way homeward lay
past his lordship's house, politely
offered him a seat in his carriage.
The gentleman was almost a strang-
err to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove very
sociable one. Lord Dudley took his
seat and Immediately relapsed into
silence, his thoughts apparently en-
crossed by some unpleasant subject.
Presently he began to speak in a
low but distinctly audible tone Of
voice, and his companion, to his as.
constituent, heard him say:
'1'm very sorry I accepted his
offer. | don't know the man. 1t
was civil certainly, but the worst is
suppose l must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audi
BILE thinking. His lordship was un-
aware that he had betrayed his
thoughts and was probably still
meditating upon the same unpleas-
ant subject when the voice of his
companion broke the stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was af-
ficted with the same malady from
which his lordship suffered, for he
exactly initiated Lord Dudley's tone
as he said:
"Perhaps he'll think I did it to
make his acquaintance. Why, l
would have done the same to any
farmer on his estate. | hope he
won't ask me to dinner, for | shan't
accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others
words, Immediately comprehending
the joke against himself, and frank
ly offered his hand to his compan-
ion, making many apologies for his
involuntary rudeness.
The stranger proved magnani-
nous, and from that night the two
became fast friends.

THE GOLDEN RULE STORE
WILL OPEN APRIL |, 1914
With a Stock of Dry Goods, Clothing,
Shoes and Everything Ready-lO-
Wear for Men, Women
and Children

L. V. Day, who will have charge Of
the Golden Rule store in Leavenworth,
was here this week and says his com
pany finds it impracticable to open
their house here before April /, 1914,
on account Of the fact that they did
not close the deal for the Leavenworth
house until it was too late to get a
stock of goods, it being their custom
to place their orders with manulactur-
ers and iobbers months in advance for
their forty-eight stores, in this way
getting lower prices on large quanti-
ties.
They have arranged to open their
Leavenworth house the first Of April
next with stock Of dry goods, cloth
ing shoes and everything ready-to-wear
for men, women and children that can
be sold right because bought right,
believing this will prove more satisfac-
tory to the trade in the long run.
Their building will cost them $500 for
rent while out of use, but Mr.. Day
says it is better to stand this loss than
TO put it on the customers by opening
under false conditions.

WenatChee Man Inyents AerOplane

The model of an aeroplane, which,
it is said, will revolutionize aviation, is
to be displayed for the first time at
the Fair Hesperides in Wenatchee this
month. Ed. Mantell of the Wenatchee
Motor Car company, is the inventor
and is now assembling the parts of the
machine. He expects to have the
model completed within the next two
weeks.
The new plane model will be about
four feet wide and is equipped with
power supplied from the ground. This,
he says, will prevent the machine
from soaring higher than 25 or 80 feet,
but will be sufficient to demonstrate
the practicability of the invention.
MantePs aeroplane, according to his
statement, differs from all existing
styles, in that it rises directly from the
earth, is capable of remaining sta
tionery in the air and flies more by
power of gravitation than by force of
propellers pushing back the air. The
lifting power is greater than in any air
ship yet made, the inventor says. He
expects to land the $4,000 prize Of
fered in New York city for the first
aeroplane able to carry and operate
two engines, one to relieve the other
in case of accident or disorder. He
also is confident of winning the honor
of being the first to cross the ocean in
an aeroplane.

THE BABY IN GERMANY.
Quaint Festivals In Its Honor That
Follow the Christening.

Quaint Festivals In Its Honor mat
Follow the Christening.
In Germany when "a child is born
many festivals are given in its hon
or, and the ceremonies are quaint
and pretty. They begin at the
christening, when the baby receives
its Christian name. The baby is
shown to relatives and friends,
snuggled down inside down pillow
called "tragkissen" or carrying
pillow.
The baby is carried in a trag-
kissen for several weeks, and the
pillow is usually beautifully en-
broidered and finished. Godmother
and friends all bring presents to
the new baby, and these are slipped
down into the tragkissen. These
gifts are usually of gold or silver.
The tragkissen is passed from one
to another of the assembled guests
so that they may guess the weight
of the baby and the gifts.
The nurse and baby then depart,
and after the gifts have been open
ed comes the "wiegenfest" or "fes-
tival of the cradle" In these mod
ern times only the small, quiet
homes have kept up the festival OF
the cradle, but once it was uni
versal festival. A part of large
room is curtained off, and a sort of
tableau or amateur play is acted.
Two who pose as the parents of the
baby stand near cradle in which
a doll is placed. One of the guests
disguised as a gypsy comes in and
prophesies all sorts of good things
for the new baby and says that
"much happiness is in store for it"
This is followed by other tableaux
showing the baby as child of four
teen, finally as young woman, then
as bride and finally as happy old
woman. Then the gift of "Triend-
ship" "Freundschaft, des Lebens
schonste Gabe"-"Friendship, the
most valuable gift in life"-is be-
slowed upon the gypsy and upon the
new baby. Then music strikes up,
and the guests, including the gypsy,
join in a merry dance in celebration
of the baby.-Chicago Tribune.

Did you know that many animals
see both ways at once? A fly can
detect your approach whichever
way you try to reach him. The hare
also has the power to use his lateral
ly placed eyes in all directions at
once, thus deciding by what it sees
how close the pursuing dog is to it.
Horses also have this power, hence
the need for using binders to hold
the horses eyes in one direction,
while the giraffe is approached with
much difficulty because it sees be-
hind as well as in front, due to the
position of its eyes.

The report was accepted and it
was voted that meeting of the
committee be called for Thursday
evening, February 81, at 1900 p. m.
in the office of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Several urgent cases were brought
to the attention of the meeting and
committees were named to investi-
gate these cases and to report to the
meeting on Thursday evening.
1t was the understanding of the
meeting that the representative
from the churches and lodges would
be asked to attend the meeting on
Thursday evening so that they might
be able to report to the various or
CARNATIONS the result of the work
and secure from the organization
which they represent confirmation
OF the work undertaken and the au-
thorization of som cone to represent
each order. If the one whose name
was suggested to serve on the COM
mittee finds it impossible to act,
then each organization in town will
be requested to name repre-
sentative.
