Main street, but two men are needed
for the northern part Of town.
People in general are taking the in
creased valuations with understanding
and good will, but now and then there
is a strenuous objection raised to the
placing of true market value on bit
of property.
The assessors have quick cure for
this, however. AS their instructions
are to take all property at true mar
ket value, they sometimes offer to
buy the house for what they wish to
assess it, and they haven't been able
to buy any houses yet, Reed says.

Consistency,

A foolish consistency is the hobgob- lin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines With consistency great soul has sim ply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think today, in words as hard as cannon balls and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks, in hard words again, though 1t contra dict everything you said today. An, then, exclaim the aged ladies, you will be sure to be misunderstood. To be great is to be misunderstood.-Ral Waldo Emerson.

WILL BE WONDERFUL ROAD
Highway of Solid Granite in the Rocky Mountains a Rival of the
 Appian Way.

Taking example from the famous Appian way. which has the name of being the first great road undertaken by the Romans as public work, the state of Colorado, with the help of an appropriation by the United States government. is building a highway of solid granite in the Rocky mountains. No other highway in the world. it is predicted, will provide travellers with so magnificent a scenic setting. close to a sheer fall of 5000 feet on the other side of the great concrete posts and cables that will safeguard vehicu- lar traffic. One gets an idea of the road from the practical statement that it is costing S25.OO0 mile to build. Like the Appian way. on which long stretches of pavement first travelled over 3OO-odd years before the Chris tian era, still remain practically per feet, the chairman of the Colorado highway commission believes that Colo rado is creating work which will defy the centuries and stand, on compile tion, as the most wonderful road in the modern world.
