-SAN FBAJfCISCO, Jan. 7. The sec

WIND-SHIELD UNDE.R A BAN.
Trotting Association Decides it Can
not Be Used in Making Records.
NEW YORK. Jan. 7. The joint com
mittee of the National Trotting Associa
tion decided today to disallow Lou Dil
lons' record of 2:05 to a high-wheeled
ball-bearing sulky, made at Cleveland,
September 12 last. The committee said
this was done "because the mare had
previously performed in faster time,
which performance was her record, and
precluded a -slower performance being a
record.
"Wo also find that the performances of
Maud S. at Cleveland, in 1SS5. was to a
high-wheeled, plain axle sulky, accord
ing to rules; .that the time. 2:0S, was
not only her best time, but the best time
ever made up to that date, and was a
record."
In regard to the use of wind shields,
the committee's findings Is as follows:
"No record can be made with a wind
shield other than the ordinary dirt shield
and pacemaker In front.
"A performance -with pacemaker in
front, with dirt shield, shall' be recorded
with a distinguishing mark, referring to
a note slating the facts."
Plan. for Road Improvement.
NEWBERG. Jan 6. To the Editor.)
The question of how best to obtain good
roads is an Important one in all states
and countries, but doubly so In a state
like our own, where the temperature sel
Inni falls much below the freezing point.
If the surface of our soli were frozen
during tlie Winter, to a depth sufficient
to baar up the weight of a. loaded
wagon, it would greatly facilitate
wagon transportation during the
Winter months. Reviewing the dls
oussion of the road problem, we
find those whose enthusiasm leads
them to believe we have the means
at our command to build all the roads
In each county in a substantial macad
amized way. On the other hand, we
have the pessimist who estimates the
the length of the sum total of all
tho roads in each county, and
finds the cost would be so great
as to ropei an idea of our ever
being able to obtain good roads. In
my judgment, the road optimist and pes
simist are cquany in error. It is my be
lief that if each county would build,
overy year, but one mile of road. In ad
dition to the regular district road-work,
and build that where it would do the
most good to the most people, it would
in time .go a long way toward solving the
good-road question.
The composition of the soil forms so
important a part in roadbullding that
it makes it necessary for us to divide
the roads Into two classes. First, in
soils where it is possible to build a
fair road with no other material than
the soil, and second, into portions
where it Is Impossible to build with
out the aid of some foreign material
such as crushed rock or gravel, a road
that can be traveled in Winter.
In all states not thickly settled, pub-
lie revenue plays an Important part
and It is necessary that on the start
only those roads should be macadam
ized where the soil makes it impos
sible to form a gooa road otherwise.
Again the question arises, where shall
we begin to build tne macadamized
road? Could there be any fairer way
than for the County Judge and County
Commissioners to, design tae through
out different parts of their county ten
portions of road, a. mile to each nor-
tion, the improvement of which would,
in their Judgment, most serve the pub
lic good. Let the people vote, at their
county election, on the two tracts, out
of these ten, that in their estimation
will prove of most service to them.
Let the tract obtaining the greatest
number of votes be improved the first
year. The tract receiving the next
highest the second year. This system
to be continued at every county elec
tion. G. a ROBINSON.
SOME SWEAEIHG DEFENSIBLE.
Many Good Men Have Employed an
Occasional Oath With Effect.
Boston Transcript.
According to the Anti-Profanity League,
the swearing habit is "the national evIL"
Undoubtedly the use of profanity is ex
tremely prevalent; a. person needs merely
to keep his ears open on the street to learn
this. But whether it is so general as to
Justify one terming it the national evil is
a matter of opinion. .Not all swearing,
moreover. Is wholly indefensible. There
are various kinds of swearers, and it will
not do to lump them In one class with a
single label. Besides the habitual and
commonplace swearers, whose profanity is
mere redundant and colorless verbiage,
and the vulgar and diffuse swearers,
whose oaths are -rank and noisome, one
must recognize also as a distinct cate
gory the discreet and moderate swearers
who employ an occasional oath -with fine
emphasis and artistic effect. Many great
and good men belong to the last class.
Even the father of his country is said to
have sworn vigorously when the emer
gency seemed to require- departure from
his customary rule of unvarnished speech.
This sort of discriminating profanity Is
vastly different from the causeless and
gratuitous swearing of habitual and vul
gar oathmongers. Indeed, the man who
now and then vents his emotions in an
oath is rather preferable to one who al
ways bottles up his feelings however
strong the provocation to break forth. A
robust ebullition is better than Ingrowing
profanity. Silence may be as profane as
words under certain circumstances. A
saying of Joseph Choate occurs to the Set
tler In this connection. A noted prelate
was once playing golf with Mr. Choate.
and after foozling a tee shot egregiously,
stood looking at the ball for several mo
ments. After waiting for the bishop to say
something Mr. Choate remarked: "Bishop,
that was the pro fan est silence I ever
heard."
As for the Anti-Profanity League, the
purpose of the organization is certainly
worthy, but somehow the Settler cannot,
develop a high degree of enthusiasm in
such a cause. He is a bit weary of anti
crusades of all sorts. Movements for the
suppression of this and that and what not
fail to interest him profoundly. It seems
to him that what is needed in the field
of social reform is not so much the sup
pression of bad things as the promotion
of good things. Reformers should concen
trate their energies on positive and con
structive work, rather than purely nega
tlve and restrictive undertakings.

COPIES ARE OFTEN BETTER THAN ORIGINALS, AND
London Truth.
THE Lelong sale brought 5120,000 to
the fund created by the late Mme.
Lelong for broken-down musicians.
The purchasers were .mostly dealers, who
bid high to keep up the prices of mere
old curios and antiquities with which
South African helots and American multi-millionaires
like to fill their houses.
Amateurs were frightened from bid
ding seriously by the fear that perhaps
Mme. Lelong had somewhere near Paris
a manufactory for antiquities. I had been
to see a manufacturer of such wares.
He makes no secret of his business, and
enjoys sometimes to laugh at the ama
teurs who come In his way. In chatting
about them he said: "Latterly an anti
quary sent me a block of marble to make
a copy of an objet d'art belonging to
him. I executed the order, and gave it
such a patine that it looked more genu
ine than the original. I sent it to him, and
he took it for the original. Some days later
I took him the real thing. He looked
at It, turned It round, passed his finger
over It. made a face and said: "It's a
bit faulty. To be frank. It's a botched
copy. I hardly care to take it I looked
at him, and at last I said: 'Why, it's
the piece you gave me to copy.' I thought
he would laugh with me. But no; he
grew quite angry, talked loud and pre
tended that he had known without my
telling him, but feigned ignorance to see
how far my imprudence would go."
I turned the conversation from marble
to wooden antiquities.
"With wood you can do what you
please. You can now make it wormn
eaten and put dry rot Into the carved
parts. A chisel cannot work on dry rot
This defect can be used as a certificate
of authenticity. One of my friends
bought a bahut He paid three experts
to examine it and they certified it toj
be genuine. Some time after he had ltj
taken down to shift It to another room.
In moving it a panel got broken, and he
sent It to Picard to be repaired. 'Good
ness me! cried Picard, 'it Is the bahut
that I made a few years ago.' The
cabinet-makers who work for antiquaries
now use the oak which had been em
ployed in the beams and rafters of old
houses. Fortunes have been made by
knowing people who bought old tumbled
down houses In Orleans and other pro
vincial towns. They sold the rotten wood
to manufacturers of ancient furniture
for more than the house cost and had
the ground for nothing. I have another
acquaintance who manufactures time
pieces for an antiquary at the price of
70,000 francs apiece.
"And for what does the dealer sell
them? He alone could say. Such things
are counted invaluable. The antiquaries
sell them to courtiers, who sell them to
Park Lane millionaires and Americans.
There are now only these two classes of
purchasers. Here and there a French mil
lionaire springs up and wants to distin
guish himself as a collector. One should
leave to all such their Illusions. The
forged thing is as good as the genuine.
Not long ago I took pieces of furniture
that M. de Vaufrelard prides himself on
possessing for genuine things, until I be
came acquainted with the man who made
them. Marble is the material that least
betrays the present day workman. I am

SWIGERT COMES HOME
SAYS MEETING OF BASEBALL
MAGNATES WAS HARMONIOUS.
Speaks Well of Morley and Says Cali
fornia Is Not Trying to
Run Things.
C. F. Swigert, president of the Browns,
who attended the meeting of the Pacific
Coast League at San Francisco, returned
yesterday morning. Mr. Swlgert's visit
to the Bay City had two ends. It was
street railway business which took him to
California, and while there he stayed
over for the annual gathering of the
baseball moguls. Like Manager Ely, Mr.
Swigert was greatly pleased with the re
ception accorded him by the Southern
magnates. From all accounts the meet
ing must have been one great big love
feast, with harmony throbbing through
It like tho running gear of an autqmoblle.
The meeting was productive of much
good in more ways than one, and the
most Important seems to have been that
of "get together." Mr. Swigert is the
authoritiy for the statement that there
was not at any time during the meeting
a note of discord sounded, a thing In it
self, almost unheard of among baseball
moguls. The new chief guide of the
Browns is Immensely pleased with the
selection of President Bert. Mr. Swigert,
in addition to finding him a splendid
lawyer, found him to be an exceedingly
well-posted and practical baseball man.
Mr. Swlgert's opinion of the new Pacific
Coast League president Is shared by many
of Portland's most faithful fans. Some'
of them have known President Bert for
some time, while others met him when
he was In Portland last season with Uncle
Hank Harris' Stars, and he made a very
favorable impression upon them at that
time.
In speaking of his trip to San Francisco
and the result of the meeting, Mr. Swigert
said:
"I would like particularly to correct an
impression which seems to be prevalent
in the minds of baseball enthusiasts here,
and which I confess I shared to a certain
extent, to the effect that the Southern
clubs are Inclined to run the clubs to
suit themselves, or, as It is often put, that
the league is Harris. Morley & Co.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. Whenever there was division,
Harris and Morley were as often as not
on opposite sides, but I am glad to say
that we were usually unanimous on all
questions.
"Mr. Swing, of Oakland, whose club
plays In San Francisoo and Is part owner
in the San Francisco grounds, was also
with us on every reasonable proposition
and Is a most liberal and fair-minded
gentleman.
"Mr. Harris is often referred to as
father of the league, and if looking out
for the younger children, often at his own
expense, gives him the right to the title,
he has certainly earned it.
"Owing to the Hollingsworth Incident
Morley has been placed in a rather un
favorable light before the Portland public.
but if any one were to hear his side of
the case he would fully agee that he
did concerning that player. Mr. Morley
Is a great enthusiast and may have given
offense to some people during the heat
of conflict, but this occurs with the best
of them, and we found him- a most fair-
minded and agreeable colleague.
"I sincerely hope that any -prejudice
that may exist in the minds of any one
due to the Incidents above mentioned will
have entirely passed away, and that
Morley as well as all other league dl
rector? will be given a Toyal welcome
when he visits us next Summer."
The Burning of the Hotel.
FORSYTH. Mont. Jan. 7. The Occl
dental Hotel, known at the time it 'was
burned as the Northern Pacific "Section-
House," was destroyed on the night of
July 5, Jacob Braun. whose home was In
North Dakota, losing Wb life. Over 30
guests Jumped from the second and third
stories add saved their lives. Ten were
Injured.
A young man arrested In Missoula ad
mltted having set fire to the building. He
J stated that a man named Wilson or Wlll-
MADE "ANTIQUES'
under it and then I knock off a nose ori
a finger or leaves of a wreath. It Is a
great trial to artistic workmen to be
obliged to mutilate their work in this
way. We feel awfully disgusted when
we have disfigured a statuette. But we
can make three times more money In
working for antiquaries than for mod
erns. Sometimes our profits are enor
mous; we have to be so conscientious
and so attentive to details. The anti
quaries can ask any prices they like.
Their customers want antique things to
give the illusion of having ancestors who
flourished in farback centuries. A pres
ent craze Is for 10th. 11th, 12th and 13th
century marbles. They are very ugly,
but they help to" throw dust In the eyes
of South African gold kings settled in
Paris and American heiresses. Tba
owner of the Chateau de Rochefort goes
In for such things. He paid dear to se
cure for his chateau marbles that I dare
say are genuine, but so inferior in work
manship and conception that I would
not stoop to pick them out of the mud.
If by doing so I could have them for
nothing.
"Houdons are now the rage, and haw
been for some time. -Think of the prices
to which they ran up those spurious
Graces on the timepiece bought by a
Frankforter at the double sale! The
most enviable Houdon is now 'Le Balser.'
Copies of It are sold everywhere by
Italian boys. The original at this mo
ment in London Is worth 400,000 francs.
Well, there are seven or eight 'originals'
lying by quietly to be brought out In due
time."
"Do you believe that great agglomera
tions of wealth conduce to art culture?"
"Your question shows that you do "not
know what barbarians the multimillion
aires are. Vanity is their ruling passion.
They have no taste for beauty, but for
what they think uncommon, because to
own It excites envy for their wealth and
(they think) admiration for their connols
seurshlp. Secretan, who began as a fin
isher of bronze statuettes and became one
of the richest men in Paris, to lose his
fortune In a copper 'corner,' could distin
guish the false from the true, and was
alive to the ways of the trade. He bought
Millet's 'Angems,' not because he liked
Millet but because Be knew that a set
of clever fellows had speculated heavily
in hls pictures, and would certainly run
them up. If 'The Angelus' had been worth
1,000.000 francs, Chau chard would not have
bought It He bought most of the things
in his collection because suggestlonlzed by
clever people In the trade. Nearly all the
great art sales within the last four years
have been got up to suggestionlze Chan
chard. Some time ago a dealer called on
him to propose the purchase of some
paintings. The Croesus did not want
them, but took his visitor to see- the pic
ture gallery. He saw there a. painting
whether by Daubigny or Rousseau or
Corot I am not sure, but by one of the
three and after expressing the warmest
admiration offered for it 10,000 francs. It
might have been worth 10,000 francs. The
owner naturally felt pleased and proud.
'Some weeks later he received a catalogue
of an Intended sale, at which a number
of paintings by the same artist would be
dlspoBed of. Naturally Chau chard pat
ronized the sale, and his name figured
in all the papers as the purchaser of the
things that fetched the highest prices."
Wealthy Amateurs Taken In.
"Suppose the 100,000 francs offered by
the dealer had been accepted?"
they had been refused food at the -house.
The fellow was given a hearing, but as he
appeared to be mentally- deranged he was
turned loose.
The Occidental was a barn-like struc
ture, and within 15 minutes after- the fire
had been discovered, had burned to the
ground.

Explains Socialistic Arguments.
PORTLAND, Jan. 4. To the Editor".)
In an article in today's Oregonlan, under
the heading "Made No Attack on Jail," I
find various misrepresentations.
First. I read that Mr. Stevens advo
cated to "down the monopolies," "throttle
the trusts" and "to divide the world s
supply of cash." Nothing could be more
absurd than to make a socialist use such
remarks. No sane man would ever attempt
to down monopolies. One might Just as
well try to stop 'the sun from rising In
the morning. The monopolies and trusts
are simply a result of progress, based on
the fact that it is better to co-operate
than to compete, and if ever a socialist
referred to them. It was to show the peo
ple that if a trust be good for the few
to whom it belongs, the proper thing to
do would be to form one large trust of
which every member of this Nation
should be a copartner. No socialist ever
wished to divide anything except labor,
and that equally, but otherwise demands
that the worker get the full product of
his toll and be not compelled to divide
the wealth created by him with someone
who does nothing for society.
As to the obstruction of the street, noth
ing could be further from the truth. There
was never a time while Mr. Stevens spoke
that people could not pass on the side
walk and the street-cars kept the street
open enough for any vehicle, and I and
several others considered the action of
Officer Roberts in taking a running Jump
into the crowd uncalled for, and the only
object of this gentlemen in doing this
was to create a disturbance, or to show
his authority.
That Mr. Stevens resented such meth
ods needs no proof or apology and he ap
pealed to article 1 of the first amend
ment to the Constitution, which reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or prohibit
ing the free exercise thereof; or abridg
ing the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people peaceably
to assemble and to petition the Govern
ment for a redress of grievances."

AMATEURS ARE FLEECED
"Ono cannot suppose such a thing. But
ir par impossiole it happened, the calsse
of those In the picture-dealing trade would
have made good the loss. However, there
is not so much room for sharp practice in
modern things as In antiquities. The evil
of the rage of millionaires for ancient
things is that it is so injurious to modern
art Even millionaires cannot afford to
buy modern paintings and sculptures
when they have made collections of
ancient I work for the trade. It has often
amused me to see how in dirty old shops
wealthy amateurs are taken in. The
dealer who knows his business never
parades his antiquities in the front shop.
He keeps them in the back shop, mixed up
with dirty rubbish. The amateur, after
a hunt among the things conspicuously
exhibited, goes into the back shop to
search. Just like a country boy who seeks
for birds' nests. When he 'discovers'
what the dealer hopes he will find, he
brings it out. The comedy and it Is a
comedy then begins. The dealer pre
tends that he bad not paid particular at
tention to the picture or curio, or what
ever Jt may be, but that having dusted it
and looked at it attentively, he sees that
it is a rare object and, in short, une trou
vaille. He refuses to sell It until he has
made Inquiries as to Its value. This
throws the amateur Into a fever, for
which the only cure Is the purchase of the
'find.'
"Amateurs may often buy jewelry with
their eyes shut. Jewels have intrinsic
value, and such exquisite workmanship is
needed for them that forgeries would not
pay. The only first-rate Jewelers for Eu
ropean style are in Paris, and, for the
Oriental styles. In Damascus and India.
The Parisian working jeweler earns very
high wages.
"I should also purchase blindfold a fine
porphyry vase. Porphyry quarries are
nearly worked out and porphyry Is nearly
as hard as the diamond.
"Amateurs are sometimes, 'as a favor,
taken by antiquaries through the living
rooms of their flats or chateaus. A dealer
"in the neighborhood of the opera-house
has made a mint of money out of the
Renaissance bod he sleeps on. He gives
seekers after rarities opportunities to 'dis
cover it They imagine It Is a 'find.' be
cause he uses It instead of keeping It In
a showroom. He lets himself be persuad
ed, iut not too easily, to sell it; orders
another just like it sells It also In the
same way, and then another."
Here I took leave of my Informant.
And now the following anecdote for "the
finale: I went some time ago to see
avowedly spurious antiquities in a work
shop In the Rue de Turenne. They were
shown to me as forgeries too clever to be
detected. The middleman who hoped to
circulate them as genuine was named
Screws were old and loose fits. The
enamel on the dial plate was Identical
with that on a timepiece of the same
period at the Garde Meuble. I examined
the works with a magnifying glass, and
could see how they had been worn.
Not long after I met an appraiser of the
Mont de Plete. We talked art and an
tiquities. I told him of my visit to the
Rue de Turenne, expressed admiration at
the completeness of the Imitation I had
been shown there, hnd mentioned the
pride the artificer took In his work.
"Oh!" said the valuator, "he has no
right to be so proud as that It was I who
provided him with the original old screws,
works and all, and I had them made to
order."

It isn't the

you could hardly withstand the ravages .of lard-soaked pastry. You
have probably found tihis out and already given up the eating of pastry.
Tis wholly unnecessary! Anyone can eat and digest food cooked with
Gottolens the perfect shortening. It is a pure vegetable product, made
from the best beef suet and choicest vegetable oil. It is neutral in
taste and odor ; it is Nature's Gift from the Sunny South.
Cottolene ia never sold, in lulk. It is put up in carefully sealed
tin pails. And right here is another advantage. When you buy lard
you have no protection as to quality you simply know you are getting
LARD never mind the grade, it's just L-A-R-D. On the other hand,
every pail of Cottolene is uniform the product is guaranteed. You take
no chances whatever.
In the face of these facts just ask yourself if you can afford to use
hog lard when' you can get pure, healthful, nutritious Cottolene.
USE LESS. Cottolene being richer than either lard or cooking
butter, one-third less is required.
