to any other channel. That the au-
thor of the letter very well knows;
and he knows, too, that the salaries
of the officials in the Highway De-
partment are no more in comparison
than in other branches of the State
Government And he neglected to
mention how much of that appropria-
ton for the Highway Department has
so far been used.
THE Auditor General and State
Treasurer each draw exactly the same
annual salary as the Commissioner of
Highways. Besides both have per-
quisites which enable them to draw
$4,000 a year each for themselves
from the public funds. As to which
of the three State officials work the
hardest for the salaries they get, we
don't know; we leave the people to
make their own guess on that point.
Mr.. CrichtOn's regular salary as
cashier of the Treasury is $4,000 a
year, and we believe he also draws
something like another $1,000 as
clerk of the commissioners OF the
sinking fund; his salary thus being
fully equal to the Comptroller of the
Currency of the United States. Take
a chance on these salaries being made
unavailable Perish the thought!
do our reformers begin to see
light?' All this is the dual office
holding. about which we have heard
so much rant of late. So far as we
are able to learn Mr.. Bigelow as Com
missioner of Highways holds only one
office, and he appears to be satisfied
with that and isn't butting in to han
dicap any other department of the
State Government.
THE last Legislature appropriated
to the Auditor Generals Department
the sum of $4,000, which was all
overhead charges; and it was gen.
orally known at the time that Audi
tor General Powell was very anxious
that the doors of the Treasury be
opened wider and the appropriation

THE HOPELESS QUEST

The man about whom this is writ
ten is the George Miller who has lived
in many parts of the country having
as his profession journalism.
Early in life George was possessed
by mania to find town or city in
which there was not another George
Miller. He became peeved by the mo-
notony with which he received the
mail of other George Millers, while
the other George Millers read his let
ters and kilograms. He spent sew
eral weary years looking for the ideal
place.
At last he lit in a little town in the
West 1t was so little that it con-
sisted of the railroad station and a
store, with the roofs of three houses
peeping through the trees of a hill
side four miles away.
"Ah!" exclaimed George the even
ing that he arrived, here at last is
my town. There's not another George
Miller around. I'll live happily here
for the rest of my life"
The next morning, as he went to the
post office in the store. his step had
a new spring, and his spirits were
high He was delighted with the
outlook.
When he asked for his mail, he was
handed one letter addressed to Mr..
George Miller. II ran as follows:
My Darling George: How silly of
you to think it necessary to propose
to me by letter! Why didn't you do
it the other night when you here? You
must have known l loved you, goose.
knew a long time ago that you loved
me, and IL was the happiest-"
But George read no more. Emitting
a loud shrek, he threw the letter at
the man lehind the counter, rushed
down to the railroad station, and
bought ticket-The Popular Maga-
zine.
