OLD HOUSE TO Be MUSEUM
ture Identified With Early Days
Of Southern California.

A movement is on at Riverside. CAL,
fot the preservation of a number of
the old landmarks of the vicinity,
buildings and spots intimately connect
ed with the early-day period of south
ern California. The plan is being fos-
tered by the local chapter of the
Daughters of the Revolution and the
Pioneer society.
The first project to be undertaken
Is the restoration Of the old Rubidoux
home, an adobe structure, which was
built by Indian labor three-quarters of
century ago. The Rubidoux family
was one of the most prominent of the
early Spanish residents, and the home
was social center for the interior
section. Many of the notable events
of history of the period just previous
to the forty-niners are more or less
intimately connected with this old
building which in recent years has
been abandoned and has begun to
crumble away.
After the work of restoration is
completed, the building will serve as
a nucleus for pioneer museum for
the housing of many relics of the early
days.

Mediterranean Air Base.

A far-reaching program of aviation
in the French colonial possessions in
Africa has been drawn up by the COM
mission on aerial transports at Tunis,
Algeria, (which recommends that "a
great aerial transport center be estab-
lished, with Tunis as it's base, in order
to centralize aerial traffic over the
Mediterranean sea. Inasmuch as Tunis
occupies an advantageous position, at
the junction Of French and interna-
tional colonial possessions, a regular
aerial service. it is urged, between
Tunis and outlying districts would
benefit the French protectorate. Al
ready line Of airplanes is in opera
ton between Gabes, an Algerian sea-
port, and the frontier Of Tripoli; and
this, in the expectation of colonial
officials, will be extended to Tunis.
So the 'unchanging East" is fast be-
coming by-word only Of times past.

The Canadian. wheat has quit coming
over the border and you cannot get a
pound of -four from Emerson any more.
This traffic was stopped in the early
part of this week. The price of wheat
IN Emerson on Monday was 81 81 and

Lights Set on Services.

'Chauncey NJ. Depew, in writing the
story of his life, recalls his first law
case. It was in Peekskill. The client
was farmer and he wanted an opin.
ion on certain property rights.
Depew spent week in looking up
the points Of law that had bearing on
the case and when he had finished
charged the modest fee Of SIS.
"Too much" cried the farmer.
"But it's taken me whole week to
prepare this" protested Depew.
Don't make no difference" declared
the farmer. II figure $1.50 is all it's
worth and that's all you're going to
get"
About week later the man came to
the office again.
"Mr. Depew," he said, II had some
doubts about that opinion of yours, 80
I took it down to New York and
showed it to Mr.. -. And what do

Of the American Legion. The matter
there by comes within the franking prl-

that the legion will take advantage of

SHOWED SPIRIT OF AMERICA
Connecticut Youth Coed Example Of
the Men That Made Victory
Over the Hun Certain.

What was the spirit, French, British,
Italian, American, that made possible
the day Of the signing Of peace? Well,
as for the American spirit, a story,
which Gen. Clarence Edwards told me
at St. Mihiel, has the meaning as I
felt it, writes Lucian Swift Kirkland In
Leslie's. He was visiting the hospital.
Just as he was leaving nurse ran
after him. "A Connecticut boy" she
said, 'has heard you are here. He has
begged me to ask you to see him. He's
dying, but he doesn't know it. He
says he has a great favor to ask"
Just then the chaplain came and had
the same request. They hurried back,
the chaplain leading. The boy looked
up and saw the chaplain.
my God! Chaplain" he called out,
what are you looking so darn glum
about? Just cause you think I'm 60
ing to die and you don't know how to
tell me about it? H, what did I
come over here for? Didn't come
over here to die If that had to be the
chance? Haven't had my big chance?
Have I failed? What the h are you
worrying about?"
Just then he saw the general. "Oh,
General" he said, excuse me for both
ering you, but I'm dying. know it.

LOTS oF NERVE.

The Cavalier Chronicle hast week de.
votes considerable space to an editorial
which is intended to convey the idea
that the state administration has forced
the Standard Oil Company to su omit to
the one cent gallon state tax that was
levied on oil companies through spe-
sial bill past by the legislature q year
ago. The article IS SO cunningly writ
ten that it leads one to believe that this
tax came out of the funds of the oil COM
psnles.
The Pioneer Express Is of the opinion
that not penny of the S284.000 paid
over from the tax fund to the state
same from the company, but that it is a
direct tax imposed by the Townley ad-
ninistration on the consumers of gaso.
line in North Dakota. Immediately az.
ter the law taxing oil companies one
cent gallon on oils, took effect the oil
companies advanced the price of gaso-
line that much. 1t was an indirect way
for the Townley administration to tax
the people 1884 900. The Chronicle can
not place it in a different light. Why
the Standard Oil Company refused to
turn it over to the state we ara at loss
10 understand. The excess tax had
been collected from the consumers and
it did not belong to them.
Any farmer who uses so gallons Of
gasoline day for his tractor pays fifty
sens OF this tax daily which he never
did under the old administration. And
yet the Townley bunch claim they are
working in the interest of the taxpayers.
Ad this amount to the extra taxes you
pay on your land this year and the
amount will estonish you,
And now the bosses in charge Of
things at Bismack are wondering how
they will be able to float seventeen mil,
Non dollars Of state bonds to saddle on
the already heavily burdened people.
Ye gods. when are they going to let up.
We look to see the people Of the state
srise in indignation at the polls next
fall and force the '.blg five" to pack
their grips and seek new states to con-
4uer.

SEEK GOLD IN THE ARCTIC
Adventures Are Now Prospecting the
Coasts Of oaffln Bay and
Davis Strait.

One Of the really pathetic stories Of
modern history Ii the mutiny Of Henry
Hudson's crew when he was exploring
the arctic waters of North America,
and his abandonment, with his son, in
that vast inland sea that bears his
name, a writer In the Brooklyn Eagle
remarks. Many lives have been sacri-
feed in the quest Of the North and
South poles. Sir John Franklin's and
the Jeannette's parties in the north
and the recent Scott expedition at the
south only need be mentioned.
Plans are afoot to open up the Bafin
bay region to commerce. For many
years small steamers have been max
ing summer visits to Hudson bay to
trade with the natives. and the Cana
dian government is building a railway
to one of its ports. Railroad and COM
mercial development Of Alaska by
American enterprise has caused pros
pecting Of the mineral resources Of
the coasts of Baffin bay and Davis
strait, with the result Of finding, at the
former place, gold in sufficient quanti-
ties to Justify development, and coal
of excellent quality along the latter.
The latitude Is about the same as that
of the Yukon region and only a few
degrees north of that of Nome, which
has developed into large community
So impelling is the lure Of gold that
the hardships Of an arctic climate will
not deter adventures from hazarding
their lives against the wealth said to
be buried under the eternal snow and
ice of Baffin island.
