we would still have plenty of room
to get along. The sentiment of
the people was in favor Of rocking
the roads before this job proved a
failure. but since you can't find a
one that sanctioned it and all you
can hear is II told you So" and
"lf it had been dcne this way we
would have some roads now." but
none of these wise mems ideas have
been put into action yet On Big
Elk. No matter how good the idea
unless it is carried out in d-tail it
will prove a failure the same as
the Bear Greek grade. The King
log drag is success beyond doubt
but people that hole up in the Win
ter can't use a King log drag.

How Did it Get By?

As the provisions Of the new tax
law are becoming better known
quite muss is being stirred up.
Taxes are going to be high this
year. and to cap the climax. under
the new system inaugurated by the
new law. instead of being able to
make the payments semi-annually y
with discount for cash, everything
has to be paid at once. without any
discounts, and the penalties for
non-payments are su severe as to
be almost robbery.
The Legislature seems to have to
pass freak or an unjust law about
every SO often. But looking at The
matter squayely fromall sides. it is
a wonder how such measure
could have passed and become a law
with so little opposition. This is a
bad year for such drastic legisla-
tion and to collect and pile up all
this money in the county Golfers at
one time. while lots of it cannot
be used for months to come, and
when the publ: needs do not de-
mand it. it certainly seems as
strange freak of legislation as
one could well conceive.

rage The wind is blowing u gale

ocean is rougher than it has been

lives were lost. Two horses were
crippled and mad to be killed, and

1t was half-past nine when Abbott

she had removed the color of Italy.
and from her body, the g~littering raj
ment of La Confetti,
Fran came up to the young man
from out the crowded street, all quiv-
ering excitement. In contrast with
the pulsing life that ceaselessly
changed her face, as from reflections
of dancing light-points, his compcsure
showed almost grotesque.

quizzical glance at his face, ARE you
