Paris Plans to Haze
Markets UNDERGROUND

The city fathers of Paris have hit
upon grandiose scheme to relieve the
congestion in the streets, Pierre Van
Paassen relates In the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. They figure that there Is still
plenty of room underground. OF
course the idea is not quite new, for
Paris has a perfect subway service.
Under an eighth of the area under the
city, however, is great followed
space. This was once quarry, but In
1871 and later under Napoleon, Inn
mense piles of bones and skeletons
were stored there, when cemeteries
around the churches were abolished
for sanitary reasons. Now certain
members of the municipal council adj
vance the idea of sinking city markets
Into these catacombs. With lighting
system and proper ventilation, 1t is be-
lieved, public markets can be installed
here, after the bones are taken out
once more, a scheme that would allow
the destruction of the present central
markets, which occupy ground much
too valuable for such purposes.

behind the cantle. to come ambling
home at dusk happy, sweet, filed with
the JOY of life, sometimes a string of
speckled beauties dangling at her knee
sometimes empty-handed.
Sometimes Bud went with her. but
1t was not fair to Dan and Molly, the
heavy team. to cheat them OF their
share of rest, since Bud must ride one
or the other of them, and so Nance
rode for the most part alone.
She lifted up her eyes to the hills"
in all truth and drew from them a
very present strength. The dark, blue
green slopes of the tumbling ridges
covered with tapestry of finely
picked out points of pine and fir trees,
filled her with the Joy of the nature
lover, the awed humility of the humble
heart which considers the handiwork
of God.
She lay for hours on some log high
in sunny glade, her hands under her
fair head. her lips smiling unconscious
ly, her long blue eyes dreaming into
the cloud-flecked heavens, and some
times she wondered what the future
held for her after the fashion of maids
since the world began. She recalled
the restless wanderings Of the family
in her early years, remembered vague
ly the home and the school in old Mis-
souri,, her fathers caseless urge for
travel. And then had come their jour-
ney's end, here In the austere ioneli-
ness of Nameless valley, where his
nomad heart had settled down and
had been at home. She thought of
these familiar things, and of others
not familiar, such as picturing the
house she and Bud would one day
build on the big meadow, with running
water piped from the rushing stream
itself, with carpets-Mrs. Allison was
already sewing interminable balls of
rags" for the fabric-and with such
simple comforts as seemed to her moth
ing short of luxuries. She knew of a
woman in Bement who wove carpets
Mrs. Porter, at the reasonable price
of thirty cents yard, warp included
The warp should be brown-and-white,
she decided-at least she had so de-
cided long back after many confer
ences with her mother.
Brown and white running softly
through the dim colors of the rags
nothing new enough to be bright went
into the balls, though there would be
soft golden glow all through the hit

and-miss fabric from the thanks" dyed
with copperas-brown and white,
Nance thought, would make 1t seem
like the floor of the woods in fall,
weathered and beautiful.
She could scarcely wait the time of
the fulfillment of this dream, when
the cabin floors should be soft under
foot.
Longing for the refinements was
strong in her, though limited painfully
to such simple scope as Cordova sup
piled, or as she remembered dimly
from the days of her childhood In Mis-
souri,.
But the glory Of the land was too
compelling for idle dreams of the fu-
ture. Here at hand were carpets of
brown pine needles, shot through with
scarlet bleeding hearts.
Here were MOSES soft and wonder
full when one bent close enough to
study their minute and intricate pat
terms. Here were vast distances and

nesses of Blue Stone canyon, it's per-
pendlcular walls of eroded rock cut by

resonant always of the murmurous
stream that tumbled through them.
Nance loved the canyon. She liked
to climb among its boulders, to whip
its frequent pools for the trout that
hung in their moving smoothness, to
listen to the thousand voices that
seemed always whispering and talking.
They were made of fairy stuff and
madness, these voices. If one sat still
and listened long enchgh he could

PASSAGE OF GAS
TAX MEASURE WILL
MEAN GOOD ROADS

Helena, Oct. 19-Only 100 miles of
Federal highway, shown in the white
or web lines on the above map have
been completed, and 300 miles, shown
in black lines, are yet to be built by
the state with revenue from the pro-
posed one-cent increased gasoline tax
if Good Roads Bill No. 81 is approved
by the people at the polls on Novem-
Der 2. The map and figures are issued
by the Montana Automobile Associa-
ton, which is backing the measure.
The one-cent increased gas tax will
create d revenue in ten years of 70
million dollars and will be matched
by the state with 16 million dollars in
Federal aid allotments. The total 36
million dollars will compete the entire
4700-mile system, maintaining each
section from the time of completion,
till it is all under state maintenance.

lion dollars in Federal allotments in
five years, and the entire 16 million in

Federal aid than any of eleven west

these states have 100000 to seven
. million dollars for highway work,
while Montana has none. Federal
aid is derived from excise taxes col
lected by the government on new au-
tomobiles purchased, and Montana
pays her share of this tax, but will
lose it to all other states if the bill

Statement Concerning
Initiative Measure
No. 81 by ]. t. Kelly

Carbon County Commissioners want
good roads, and we believe we can get
better roads for less money from the
taxpayers by supporting the three
cent gas tax, Initiative Measure No.
81. I have authority to speak for the
other members of my board on this
question, (Mr. Convery and Mr.. Card
for we all feel the same on this ques-
ton; why we favor this Measure.
FIRST: 1t releases our county from
the expense of building our main
highways (Which must be built).
SECOND: 1t releases our county
from maintaining our main highways
which is increasing in cost every year,
and this item alone costs four times as
much as we are now receiving from
the present gas tax.
THIRD: By being relieved of the
burden of building and maintaining
our main highways it gives us more
money to build and maintain our out
lying roads, and our object is to get
the farmer to market with his pro-
duce.
FOURTH: We believe we are act
ing to the best interest of our tax
payers by supporting this Measure,
and we are getting about ten dollars
back for every dollar we give up from
the present gas tax, and as this board
is made up of humans, we want all we
can get for as little as possible.
Hoping this puts our standing on
this measure clearly.
Yours truly,
J. T. KELLY,
Co. Commissioner Carbon Co.
