PROPOSE TAX LEVY
ON MONTANA SMOKES

Representative Alex Fairgrieve of
Carbon county, inveterate pipe smok-
er, the first man married in Carbon
county after it was created in 1888,
veteran lawmaker and the only gold
star father in the house, is preparing
to set up legislative machinery that
will cause cigaret and cigar smokers
to aid in paying operating costs of
the state. He has bill in prepar-
alton licensing tobacco dealers and
providing for the collection of tax
on nicotine laden products that salts

walk mile, others without cough
in a carload and those which will pass
almost any old blindfolded test. He

porary huts and shelters of brush
and later formed villages and estab-
lished communities and ultimately
perfected the cultivation of wild
grains, beans and squashes. These
people gave to the world the domes-
ticated corn and various plants in
Guiding potatoes, cocoa, beans, pea
nuts, and fruits, which today go to
make up more than so per cent of
the agricultural wealth of the world.
Development of grains and food pro-
duts led to the storage of ample food
supply in caves, and allowed popula-
lions to multiply and specialize in
industries. Basket making, pottery
making, stone cutting and weaving
were some of the achievements inher-
tied from these ancient people of
southwestern America and Central
America.

The interesting part of these in
habitants who make up the pre-
history of America, is the fact that
biologists and psychologists have
proven that the people living during
the Pre-Basketmakers period down to
the Pre-Pueblo period were long head
ed individuals with tall stature and
strong bones, while those of the Pueb-
10 were square headed, small stature
and small bones. Who they were or
from whence they came, these long
headed forerunners of the Pueblos,
will no doubt be unfolded by some
scientist of Anthropology in the fu-
ture.

THE INAUGURAL PAGEANT
George Washington

Through countryside where steel
trains thunder and airplanes and mo-
tor ears today roar a tosein OF TWEEN
tieth century speed George Washing
tona140 years ago made a seyen-day
journey over mud roads from Mount
Vernon to New York City to become
the first President Of the United
States.
1t was the wish Of Gen. Washing
ton, leaving the beloved seclusicn Of
his estate on the Potomac, to avoid
all semblance Of parade, but the adu-
lation Of the people Of the young le-
public made that impossible.
Groups of citizens and detachments
of militia escorted him the entire dis
lance, and he rode under the trium-
phal arches into Philadelphia and
other cities. The ladies of the period
showered him with flowers and rem
dered, with colonial modesty, sonatas
to the ommander-in-chiefo Of the Con-
tinental army.
April 30, 1899, Washington, the
Federalist and Virginia gentleman,
took the oath of office on the gallery
Of old Federal hall in the presence Of
an immense concourse of citizens"
The people were assembled in Broad
street, on Manhattan Island, once the
bailiwick of the fiery Dutch governor,
Peter Stuyvesant, and now the finan-
cial center of the world.
The New York Daily Advertiser in
its issue of May 1, 1889, gives this
cotemporary account Of the inaugural
ceremonies:
AT 8 a. M, the clergy of different
denominations assembled their congre-
cations in their respective places of
worship and offered prayers for the
safety Of the president.
about IL o'clock the procession
moved from the house of the presi-
dent, in Cherry street,, through Dock
street and Broad to Federal Hall in
the following order: Col. Lewis, sup
ported by two officers; Capt. Stokes,
with troop Of horse artillery; Maj
VanHorne; grenadiers under Capt
Horrin, German grenadiers, the infan-
try Of the brigade, Maj. Christie,
sheriff. the committee of the Senate,
the President and his suite, the com
mittee of representatives, lion. Mr..
Jay, Gen. Knox, Chancellor Living
ston and several other gentlemen of
distinction. Then followed a multi
tude of citizens.
His excellency was conducted into
the hall and in the Senate chamber
was introduced to both Houses of
Congress. Immediately afterward, ac-
companied by the two houses, he went
into the gallery, where he took the
oath of office, administered by R. II.
Livingston, chancellor of New York.
"The chancellor proclaimed him
President, there was a discharge Of
10 guns and loud, repeated shouts
from the crowd. The President bowed
to the people and the air again rang
with their acclamations.
"His excellency then retired to the
Senate chamber, where he made his

He declares baseball is a relic
of the horse-and-buggy days
and the public doesn't care for
the game any more.
The so-called horse-and- buggy
DAYS record no $4,000 salaries
for, say Franh Baker, the hon1e-
run king of that era; nor do
they register the annual at
tendance figures of the passen-
ger plane era. To say that
soccer has one-tenth the follow
ing that baseball enjoys would
be exaggerating the truth.
Fifteen hundred people saw a
soccer game at Silver Spring
last Sunday and a bare 800 saw
one on BlaGensburg Road.
There have been rare days
when the Griffmen played to as
few as 1,500 fans, but Sundays
you can't keep them out of the
park. Our correspondents argu-
ment is unsound. It reflects his
personal tastes, but not those OF
the general run of newspaper
readers, for whom we toll so
intentIy. When soccer draws

attracts, the newspapers will
follow suit. Meanwhile, this one

There has been an. indescrib-
able something in the air the
last couple Of days very mindful
of golf. Perhaps you felt it.
Maybe you were Fetched" by
the desire to get out and swing
at a few on Monday or Tues
day.
Which brings to mind that
Washington is on the verge of
opening one of the finest indoor
golf courses this side of New
York that at the King Pin
bowling alley on upper Four
teenth Street, where smiling,
genial Bill Wood presides over
the Meyer Davis interests.
Bill took US in to watch the
golf architects and builders
putting on the finishing strokes
when we went up to. his estab-
Iishment to roll our string of
duckpins in the newspaper mems
tournament and the. complete
ness Of the indoor golf layout
fairly took our breath.
Mr.. Wood assures US nothing
like it has ever been attempted
in this locality and we were in
nc position to dispute. him. The
course itself, consisting of nine
holes. il not onlv undulated and
SPOTTED with traps and bunkers
and dog legs and water hazards,
but it is completely covered with
a huge green Wilton velvet car
pet which fits just as smoothly
over the little knolls as it does
in the smooth fairways and
greens.
All sort Of papier mache
woodland effects representing
trees and stumps and ground
squirrel hollows about the in
door course, leaves overhang-
ing from the ceiling and deli
cately shaded flowers thriving
along ripping brooks and old
fashioned rail fences. Water
falls ripple on one hand and
canaries cl-.rp in the offing.
We asked Bill if he expected
to install something in the way
of these new-fangled sun-ray
lamps so that the indoor golfers
could get their sunburn while
doing the King Pin course, and
he declared he never thought of
that but might give it q tryout,
not forgetting to allow US royal
ties in case the innovation
proves popular.
If you would gaze Upon a verit-
able fairyland worthy of a
Belasco setting, just step into
this newest of indoor golf
courses and see what the art
Of make-believe can do to a big,
bare room with half dozen gaunt
windows as the only suggestion
of outdoors.
A correspondent, whose name
we shield because the thought
he advances might bring ridicule
upon him, declares newspapers
give too much attention to base
