VOTES STRAIGHT (. O.P.
 TICKET SINCE 1856

BOISE, Idaho March 12. - Having cast his ballot for every Republican Presidential candidate since 1856, when John c. Fremont of California ran for office, is the boast of John Schmidt, 91, resident of Hailey, and believed to be the oldest bachelor III Idaho.
 Schmidt was born in New York and went to California during the gold boom days of the '50s. He came to Idaho in 1864 and has resided in this state ever since.
 In the elections of 1860 and 1864. MT. Schmidt cast his ballots for Abra- ham Lincoln for President. Schmidt, remarkably active for man 91 years old, says he feels sorry for men who show their age at only 70 years. He does all his own housework, but says that his being bachelor is not his fault. He admits there was a girl, in San Francisco in the early days, but her parents objected because they thought him too poor.

TOWN FORTY YEARS OLD
 GETS ITS FIRST ROAD

SALEM, Ore, March 12.-The inhab- itants of Detroit, Ore, will some time this year be able to get out of town by some means other than afoot, horse back or railroad.
 Detroit, situated fifty miles south east of Salem in the Cascade noun tains, is the eastern terminus of the Corvallis and Eastern railway. The town was established forty years ago when the railroad was pushing up the north fork of the Santiam river, and never has had an outlet over a public highway. The nearest wagon road at this time terminates at Mia gara, thirteen miles distant.
 But now, after levying special road taxes for several years, the Niagara Detroit road district, with the aid of Marion county and the Federal Gov ernment, is building we'll graded ma cadamized road between the two con- munities. The cost of the road will approximate $125, ,000 As the railroad track monopolizes the only street in Detroit, the citizens for years have used railway velocipedes as means of transportation. Instead of a gar age for the "flivver," each family has a side track for his three-wheeled sedan"

MEDAL WINNER ENDS 30 YEARS
 HERO SERVICE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12.-Ser- geant John Swift, U. s. A., famous Indian fighter, wearer of five distin- guished service medals and said to be the only man in the service who has morals for bravery in the Indian wars, will retire next month, after thirty years in Uncle Sam's service, to spend his remaining days on farm. The decorations worn by Sergeant Swift were awarded for gallantry in five different wars in various parts of the world. They include the Indian war insignia, Spanish war decoration, Philippine instruction medal, Mexi- can border medal and a decoration for distinguished service during the World War. During his entire period of ser vice he has borne an excellent record, without a single mark being chalked up against him for discipline.
 He enlisted in the army with First Cavalry in 1885, and three years later participated in his first battle with Crow Indians on the Little Big Horn river. During that encounter he is credited with having shot and killtd an Indian chief, after his own horse had been killed under him.
 The next year Sergeant Swift par ticipated in a campaign against h. dians in northern Wyoming on the Tongue river In those days, accord ing to his own story, when the tele- phone and telegraph were little heard of, he was obliged to travel 12O miles on horseback as message bearer from post to post. He claims to have travelled on horseback through almost every section of the northwest.
 In 1892 Sergeant Swift saw duty at the Presidio here, where he is now stationed, and in 1898 left with his de- tachment for Manila to participate in the war with Spain. He left the ser vice for a short period in 1890.
 In 1911 he was in charge of mounted scouts on the Mexican border; after several years of quiet embarked for the old world to participate in the World War, serving in the Aisne, Ar gonne and St. Mihiel sectors.
 Veteran army officers at the Pre- sidio say that Sergeant Swift was a member of a sacrifice squad in the Philippines in 1898. With seven other men, he made a forced landing at Santa Cruz, and thus purposely dl- rected the fire of the Spanish troops upon them. The American forces meantime stormed through sloughs and dugouts and got into position be- fore the surprised Spaniards could re- turn their sudden fire. The city was taken, but Sergeant was shot through the neck and lay unconscious for sev- eral days.

TODAY-AIce LangIier, Paris corre- spondent, writes of the pilgrimage
 to Mont de Paris; of the $7o0, 0,0o0,-
 900 left in France during the last year by American tourists, and of
 other miscellaneous matters.
 1 PARIS, March 12. - The Mont de Paris, on top of which is the famous ] old church of St. Genevieve, recently 1 celebrated it's annual pilgrimage. All day long faithful pilgrims were seen climbing the mount to pay solemn homage to the Saint and kneel before the richly decorated achapel in the church which contains the tomb of ] the holy protectress of Paris. It was curiuos sight to watch the slow pro- cession of people of all conditions of | life passing in and out of the beauti- full 16th century church. At nightfall the scene was particularly impressive when the little booths outside the church were lighted up, giving an ad- ditional touch of quaintness.
 Rather than pay her rent, Mademoi- selle Charlotte, of fingers, tore up number of securities and set fire to her rooms Another lot of securities just been found in the mattress of this queer "miseress."
 Amtrican tourists in Europe during the last year have dropped behind them about seven hundred millions of dollars, according to the latest of ficial report Of all the countries France has probably received the big gest plum. Prohibition is thought to be one of the main reasons for the unusual amount of travel and money spending; but then South America, which is by no means dry, is also con- tributing it's full quota of globe-trot- ters, and in Paris cafes one is likely to hear as much Spanish as English.
 Walking on water is possible by means of the new boatshoes a French inventor has just designed. They are fashioned after little torpedo boats, with an opening for the feet and little Dropellers on the sides. With the Seine ever on the rise, they are use- full things for people who do not care to wet their feet.
 One of the oldest known works of art has just been unearthed in grotto at Lexpugne (Haute-Garonne). It is statuette, about six inches high, made of ivory from mammoth's tusk and is thought to be anywhere from | 20, ,OO0 to 60,00O years of age. The fig ure represents a woman and was no doubt carved with sharp Hints dur ing the paleolithic period.
 l Sweet scent for the poor, as well as for the rich, is the motto of a well-known perfumer in Paris who has placed two original perfume fountains on either side of his smart boulevard shop. The precious liquid drops slowly from the open mouths of golden dolphins, and dainty midinettes, as we'll as tired old ladies, stop to partake of the fragrant refreshment. l Naval heroes can do more than fight, if one can judge from the example of Captain Jean Cras, French command, CT of destroyer flotilla in the Adri- attic during the last war. He is the composer of "Polypheme,' which is now being presented with great suc- cess at the Opera Comique. When the war broke out Captain Cras was in the Naval College. He was ordered to the Adriatic, where he distinguished himself by both brilliancy and brav- cry. New honors are now being show
