S. IIIRSCH &. CO., Kansas City, Mo. There is every reason to believe that the Rose Festival will be able to offer the historic Liberty Bell as a special added attraction for the grand celebra tion durlnst the second Week of next June. The only additional Influence that seems to be necessary , In order to engage the support of Senators Knox and and Penrose of Pennsylvania, the congressmen from the Philadelphia dis trict and the mayor of the Quaker City, ia to have the executive management of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition en list Its efforts in the matter. Such is the statement of Governor Chamberlain, who went exhaustively Into the matter nf hrlnvlnir thn I.ihnrtv Bell tO the Pa cific coast for next summer while he in tn Wnahlnrtnii attending the con gress of governors lnterestedvtn the Na tional Conservation congress. There wat some doubt expressed as to th nhimv nf th PhilndelDhla. officials to arrange for naving tne great wuuuii patriotic trophy sent out here merely for the week or tne roriiana ieiui, but Conogressman J. Hampton Moore, representing the Philadelphia district, told Governor Chamberlain , that it would piobably not be a difficult matter to have the relic sent out to the north west if Seattle, with Its exposition, and Portland, with its spectacular floral feast, were to work in harmony.. . Governor - Chamberlain has advised President Ralph W. Hoyt of the Port land Rose Festival association of the AnnHIHnm attarhpri to , the DrODOSltioll of securing the Bell and Seattle has been duly advised of the' conditions im posed. Within the next few days the festival will ask the A.-X.-r. exposition management to name a committee to meet here and arrange for some con certed and joint action in mis miier. . ! nm onnflitimti that Portland and Seattle can secure the Liberty Bell for their respective ceieDrauons year, said Governor Chamberlain last night. ''Congressman J. Hampton Moore as sured me thta he would do all he could to arouse interest In the project and that he would try to get a goodly dele aation from . his state to . come to the northwest, next summer. I found that Philadelphia guards this great trophy with the utmost Jealousy and It was ex- tremely hard to get anyooay lnicresieu in the movement. At the same time I was assured that if the people behind the Seattle fair will bend their energies to assist the Portland Rose Festival we will stand a most excellent chance of getting the bell. .

Eests on Bottom of Sea and i Must Be Placed on ! , Maps. Ferro. Canary Islands. Dec 18.-rln full s-a. off this Island is being built an artificial islet for the service of the automobile torpedoes made by tne Creusot company. It consists -of a box to feet long and 60 feet wide at base, filled with cement save spaces left for apartments, and resting en tne bottom of the sea. From the submarine cham ber- torpedoes can be launched under the surface or the sea. as it la a true rock, the force of waves will not dis turb it. Naturally it will have to be noted on the maps and also be pro vided with submarine signals, which will be bells, already designed by the builders, who estimate that their sound ' will travel under water at tbe rate of 1570 yards per second, while in the air it would move only 1000. It Is declared that their sound will be heard at the distance of at least seven miles and when most at II mllea.. , The work is for the protection of shipping against a dangerous ooast and is an lnlclal experiment in that direc tion. The submarine signals not only , serve to. advise ships when they enter the radius of the torpedo action, but in time-of foe they will' be enabled to locate themselves with accuracy.

Mann, Henry C Stuart and Harry Steorg TvckerJ TOY SUGGESTION FROM IRA POWERS "Good Streets and Good Eoads" Motto of the Fur niture Man and Motorist. "Good streets and good roads are good Investments, and not expenses In the long tin," said Ira Pqwera, proprie tor of th Powers Furniture House. TmA m.. V. a inntlnncit "wara. Ha. manded by the people, and the county is providing them, and When the people demand good streets of the cLty govern ment, a way will be found to get them. The city is so far behind the county in the matter of good thoroughfares that one can easily detect, on traveling out a street connecting with a county roaa. Where the city's responsibility ends and the county's begins. As half a loaf is better than no bread at all, wolQd it not oe wive iu improve inn ireeio con necting with the principal country roads first? A stranger being shown into the country, would then be driven out on an attractive-looking street con-t nectlng with some one of the principal county thoroughfares, ' and, should he return by another road, ha would recroaa the city oft another finely paved street Then, too, the delivery of merchandise and country trafflo would share in such an improvement. ', For-example- a few more blocks of smooth paving on Jefferson street would have connected with the Canyon road now so splendidly Improved. " "Next year will witness more agita tion of street Improvement In the cen tral or down-town thoroughfares than the casual observer would suppose. The owners and promoters of suburban tracts have shown, by the neat manner In which they have graded, curbed and sldewalked their properties, that good pavements and smooth sidewalks en hance the value of adlacent realty. Down-town oroperty holdera don't seem to realise this fact so strongly or else they would have provided some means of keeping their streets in repair, as it would coat a mere bagatelle to do so after they are once well improved. "I think there is nothing that en hances the value of property more -than neat surroundings and enpeclaly Jm- E roved streets, and established grades, how a prospective purchaser property surrounded by unimproved streets, and having no sidewalks and he looks upon the proposition with disfavor and almost invariaoiy refuses 10 ouy. improvements of streets and sidewalks . adds at least 25 per cent to the value of the prooerty uuyers -will purcnase - on lr streets when thi urchaee - on inmroved ey will hardly look at unimproved property, even though It u- 111 IIIO fuel DIOCK. . "There Is still another point I wish to emphasise. The sidewalk crossings should be so constructed that there Is no jump-on as tne street is reached. The Idea is not original, with me,'V he f.nntlniiaw1 1 1 1. 1. a au n . struction adoDted 1 for nrnuwaiic. in Detroit, Mich., and other, progressive cities I have visited. The Crossings in Detroit, for example, are like so many uui vena u.or um Kuu.n near tns side walk. If It happened to be raining, one runs no risk of stepping Into a pool of water, as one does In this city. It ia especially a great accommodation .to ladies. There is no doubting the state ment that the time Is at hand when the city wiir witness great growth and consequently tho streets will come in for intelligent consideration. Expansion, you know, is the order of the day tn the west, and this citv mnat f num. emp'lfy the spirit of the times.", AESTHETIC TEGUMENT I AGAINST WATEE PLANS (United PrM teased Wtre.l.
