Ranching Is a terra derived from
the Spanish-American word rancho,
originally meaning a place where
herdsmen eat and sleep, but gradually
extended to mean a grazing farm.
When the street running past your
house or In front of jour place of
business Is to be paved you are In
terested In seeing that the muterlul
chosen has the advantage of provid
ing for economy and satisfaction.
Your money will pay the Initial cost
and you will have to bear your share
of the maintenance and repair bills.
Time and traffic will test the quality
of the material! used and If they are
chosen wisely, with a view to economy
both In first cost and It) the mainte
nance, you will find good cause for
congratulation.
Ily experience over a term of years
It has been found that hard-surfaced
pavements meet all requirements. A
street fhus Improved is sure to give
satisfaction. Now first cost alone is
no good argument; the cheapest sur
face, may prove the most expensive In
the end. Reasonable first cost with
proved durability under traffic and
changing weather conditions, and with
low maintenance charges as the years
go by are the qualities that should
make up your first standard by which
to Judge. Other advantages seldom
can outweigh this group that deter
mines directly the cost of the street
to the taxpayer, ot the start and for
years to come.
Having paid for a paved street you
want to enjoy the Improvement with
out being called upon for taxes every
year In order that It may be repaired"
or rebuilt. The original cost should
bo the last except for such Incidental
attention as may he needed. In case
of necessity it should he possible to
cut through the street surface to
reach the underground pipes and later
to restore the section to its original
condition. With n pavement properly
built the cost of maintenance is Insig
nificant. Wlille there are many In
stances where streets of this type
have received no attention for several
years, once a year the paving should
be Inspected and the Joints filled with
bituminous material if need be. No
patching Is required, for, once built,
hard pavement retains Its shape
through nil seasons and carries loads
over bad spots in me uppvn.iaa -mm
below. If It should become necessary
to get at pipes or conduits burled be
neath the pavement, It can he cut
through and repairs readily made so
that the pavement Is truly monolithic
once more, nnd the patch can be de
tected only with difficulty. This work
can he done by the regular City forces
and requires only a few simple tools.

Portland. Or. Isaac M Walker, Pres
nl'It months after (he salt waves
llOd laid at ills feet the Cold
form of his Love, came the news
that Herbert Munson was the
possessor of a startling secret, lie
hal, it Was slated, discovered a
Purple Ray that would wither and de
stroy cert u In human cells of memory
without injury or danger to neigh
boring cells. This rumor was fol
lowed by the still more amazing re
port that Munson had erected the
Mansion of Forget fulness, io which
all who would free their minds of a
hopeless passion might repair, und in
one brief hour, forget.
And, sine enough, here tiioy- came
those who loved not . wisely hut too
well, these who loved deeply but
hopelessly, and those who loved the
dead and could endure the grief no
longer and the Purple Ray "plucked
from the memory lis rooted sorrow''
and they went forth from the Man
sion of Forgetfnlness unpaired nnd
fancy-free.
Yet he who showed others how to
forget would not himself forget. It
was agony to know that she was dead,
and be would never see her face
again, yet he shrank from forget ful
ness as the soul shrinks from oblivion.
Try as he would, he could not drag
himself from the haunted halls of
memory, though be remembered that
the world without was wonderfully
fair, and other women, perhaps as
lovely as she, were waiting there to
love and be loved. No! Let others for
get, lie would not I Not that he lived
in hope, for had he not kissed the
salt foam from her dead face? Rut
that memory was all that remained of
a I. eve who was no more.
He watched them come nnd go
watched the many, ah, too many, pil
grims arrive with sorrowful, love
haunted fines, hut depart with uncon
cerned, care-free looks, and at times
he feared that his philanthropy was a
Sacrilege. There1 seemed something un
holy in this sudden' transmutation of
grief Into gladness this swift thrust
ing aside of their own free will to
forget a hopeless passion, and they
could now return whence- they came
and love again," more wisely if less
deeply.
Some came, thinking to blot out
other memories than that of a hope
less love memories of sin and crime
but the Purple Kay would not be
thwarted to such base purposes, and
they left, abashed and disappointed.
It was In winter, when the snow
was changed to crystal as It fell upon
the walls and cornices, of the beautiful
marble edifice, or piled Itself In drifts
of sifted diamonds against the stained
glass windows, when a lady came
alone across the vales and entered (he
broad gateway of the lyiunsion of For-getfulness.
Something In her manner perhaps
her agitated hesitation at the portals
moved the master to accost her.
"Kind friend," he said, "were it not
better to. remember what you now seek
to forget V" As he spoke he drew
closer about his face the cowl he wore
to conceal his Identity from the merely
curious.
A sigh was the only Immediate
answer,, as the pilgrim leaned wearily
against a marble pillar. Then came
the low spoken words:
"Perhaps I may only half forget. I
would remember, yet not remember
so acutely."
"No, you will wholly forget. The
Purple Kay Is oblivion Itself."
"Ah. well, better I kill these pain
ful memories than break my heart!"
"Then, If It must be so, enter and
forget."
"Show me the way nnd let me go
quickly," was the idea of the veiled
lady. "I have eome far, and the worst
is only a few steps farther on."
"Come, then!" and the master led
the way to the room of the Purple
Ray.
An hour passed, when the door was
opened and the veiled visitor came
forth and descended the broad stair
way. She moved quickly and lightly,
and at the foot of the stairs she
laughed musically as she aguln met
the mnster.
"Have you forgotten?" he uskod.
"Forgotten ! I know that I have for
gotten something, else why am I here,
yet I do not know what I have .for
gotten." "So they all say!"
A Bush of ror-y light shone from a
"Look!" Tlere was no light of recog
nition In the other's eyes. "My God !
the Ray has blotted out all memory "
"Pray tell me what you mean, and
let me go," came the passionless words.
A groan was the only reply, and the
man hid his face In his hands.
"You seem to know what I have for
gotten. Has It uught to do with you?"
"O Morella, It were better that I
thought you dead than to know that
you have forgotten ! Do you not recall
our betrothal? See. you have the ring
upon your hand! Does it not awaken
one recollection of other days?"
The girl gazed blankly at the ring
on her hand, and shook her head.
"Has the Ray blotted out every fair
memory! Have you returned to life
only to forget ! Try to think, dearest :
Do you not remember that day in
Naples when we pledged eternal love
for each other?"
"I remember no betrothal." A deep
look of pity came into the speaker's
eyes when she saw the pain her words
had caused. "If remembrance Is so
sad, why do you not also forget?"
"ily love !" he groaned, "you are
making the world darker to me than
to dying eyes! You ask me to forget!
You I"
"You forget that I have forgotten."
The man groaned In utter anguish.
As she turned to go be stayed her
by a geaUc touch. '".Viilf her" while
I, too, go and kill that memory '
He dragged himself up the broad
stairway, looking back once when he
had reached the landing, then turned
and staggered toward the. room ui

Indians Didn't Intend
Selling Lands Outright
"From the day that white men had
their first land dealings with Indians."
says the Frontier, "It has been as
sumed that the aborigines sold their
lands outright, and the various nego
tiations Into which the United Stales
entered with them for the transfer of
their lands by treaty or agreement,
until comparatively recent times, are
U0 exception.
"As a mutter of fact, Indians recog
nized neither individual ownership of
land nor the tribal right of permanent
transfer. A man might put any un
occupied land to personal use, and
It was his by virtue only of such
usage; but if he once abandoned It
for any reason, or failed to cultivate
or otherwise use It, It reverted auto
matically to the tribe.
"We often hear of this or the other
tract of land having been 'purchased'
from Indians by the colonists for a
song. Noteworthy among these In
stances Is the island ot Manhattan,
now worth untold billions, that was
'bought' by the Dutch settlers for a
handful of gew-gaws ; but there Is no
doubt that, as In numerous other
cases, the Manhattan Indians believed
that they were merely permitting the
white settlers to live among them
and that the trinkets were merely a
token of friendship."
