FfUR r DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, BALEU, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1J, 1903.' I . RW F i T THE OLD RELIABLE, I Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE DIVERS HARBORS AND GOOD ROADS MINE HOSTS CONFESSION. 'Tho hill for National aid to road Im provement which 'Mr. Brownlow of Teunessoe proposes to reintroduce In CongrosB this winter prnmlsos to be a -popular moasuro. So far It has mot with very little opposition. In fact 1th ndvocntos of tho measure nro an--xIotiK to develop aomo active oppo sition an this will help thorn to get tho subject before the poople, and glvo tlioni an opportunity to show the strength of their case. Uno oY tho strongest arguments In I'uvor of tho measuro Is that based on Uih river and harbor appropri ations. Legislation of tills kind rests or. a half u contury of precedents, nnd no ono seriously thinks of ob jecting to ib The only questions Horioimly discussed wbon n river and linrbor bill cwiifs up In Congress ifre t,o amount to be voted and for what particular works of Improvement the money shnll bo spont. Tho gonerol polloy Is thoroughly established. Con gress tins voted for Improvements of this kind durlngfl the past fifty yonrs more than four hundrod millions of dollars, and now an annual appropri ation of twtnty millions would bo lookod. upoiKas otiltc conservative. The ndvocaVs of National aid to road improvement claim that much mora can Its said in favor of thdr uheme IIimii In favor of river imd burlior legislation and much loss Against It. Doth gome under tin gen nrnl olam'nf "IntSrnnl Improvements" nbout which there wns so much' heatoi' IlscuRslon In tho early days of Jio republic. The general arguments in Tnvor of river and linrbor approprla tlonn may be summed up as follews: (1.) They promote tho general wH fare; (2.) the Improvements entnil an oxpenso too heavy to be borne by tho ptople of the localltlos most directly Interested, nnd. hence, would never b made If the Government refused to foot the bills. Tho same argument apply with equal force to the Improve ment of the public highways. Certain ly no kind of Internal Improvomont would do more to promnto the pros purity nnd tho moral nnd Intellectual Improvement of tho mnssos. It is also equally -certain that this groat -work of Internal improvement will road Improvement has throo groat ad vantages ovor thnt of voting funds for river and harbor Improvements as follews: 1. While the monoy voted for tho latter purpose Is collected from the whole people by taxation, it Is neces sarily expended in limited localities the inhabitants of whloli roceivo tho greater part of tho boneflts. In fact a great majority of the pooplo of tho United States receive no direct, and but little Indirect benoflt from theso Improvements. On the othor hand a Federal appropriation for road Im provement would be nvallablo for use In any section. Evory Stato nnd al most overy county and township could share In the direct boneflts, whllo Jnrge Indirect bonoflts would conio to pcoplo of all cltios and towns 2. The boneflts flowing from an ap propriation for river nnd harbor Im provomont are strictly limited to tho amount of monoy voted, ns no holp Is required from tho local commlttles. Hut the plan embodied In tho Drown low bill morely contemplates thnt tho Government shall holp tho pooplo who nro willing to holp themsolvos. No community could onjoy tho Oovorn mont nld until It had voted to rnlse a largo share of the oxpenso by local taxation. Thus a Fodornl approprla tlon for this purposo would produce benefits far beyond the limits of the amount voted. 8. One bad feature of the river nnd harbor loglolatlon Is the "log-rolling" Indulged In by K-glslators who are an xious to socure funds for Improve nionts In their districts or States. This often Injuriously affects legis lation of all kinds, for many mombers subordinate everything olse to this. Nntlonnl nld to road Improvement ns now advocated would be wholly free from this bad feature. For the funds would be equltnbly distributed accord ing to a general plan. The Govern ment would simply mnko available a sum of money an equitable share of which could bo Recurcd by any State or county complying with certain spoclflod conditions. x When tho question hns been fully proeented and discussed in Congrots It Is dldlcult to seo how any mombor remain undone, to a great oxtont, if , can logically vote for a rtvor and liar- thu whole burden of tho oxpenso Is left to be carried by tho peoplo of rural neighborhoods. A contury of oxporlonce In most of tho oldor Stntro ought to bo onnugh to demon Htruto this. In fact no gonernl pro gress toward good roads is being made except In a few Statos which have- adopted tho Stuto nld plan. bor bill and rofuso to support an np proprtatlon to aid In Improving tho highways of tho vountry.

It Is only vory rarely that you find a Swiss landlord In a communicative mood, and with lolsure for a long talk; hut when jrpu do tho result is Interest ing. The presont wrltor, says tho Golden Penny, onco rendored the pro prietor of a largo Swiss hotel some slight service, and was Invited by tho gratoful host to an exqulslto little lunch in his private room. After the dessert came coffoo and clgara "You llko this cigar?" observe!! mlno host. "I thought you would. It Is a cigar wo keop for tho couriers; those arc gentlomon who will stand no nonsonse; thoy must .have tho host of ovorythlng. Tho host of every thing, and a commission of G por cont; and when thoy nro without engage ment wo arc glad to give thorn free quarters. It is of tho first necessity to be on good terms with tho couriers, for if they nro not pleased they take tholr families elsewhere. And then they 'can make tho bill all rlghl, for tho settlement is always left to them. No family will dispute what a courier says is right. But tho other day I confess I wns a little uneasy. "Wo had a family of Americans, rlchor, they say than tho family of Rothschild great petroleum people and I loft ovorythlng to tho courier, evon to the ordering of thoir repasts and their wlnos. When ho ordored thoir first breakfast I was almost sur prised; when ho ordored their lunch I was more than surprised; but when he ordered tholr dinner I thought ho had gone" mad. It was not tho qual ity that nstonlshod me; it was the quantity of everything, not a fourth of which thoy consumed. Thoir leav ingswhat they did touch made n luxurious supper for all my waiters. I remonstrated. I told tho courier there would be trouble. Ho said no; It would be all right. And It wns. Tho bill I felt almost ashamed to mftko It out thoy paid without n word; and the courlor touchod a vory fine commission. Noxt t American millionaires I llko, I think, Egyptinn pashan But that was In tho old days. Now they nro poor, nnd do not corao. And such airs th y gavo themsolvos! But it wns a vory good thing for us. "I romombor ono wo had Duffer Pasha, quite a young man, and, I think, a relative of the khodlve. He spoko Fronch very woll, nnd had with him Vour masters (gentlemon)t two servants, and a courlor. Tho mastors lunched nnd dlnod In their own sn loon, of courso nnd tho pasha ordorod for hlmsolf a bottle of Chateau Yquom nt 20' francs, nnd for oncli mombor of his suite a Lottlo of Chateau I.a Iioso nt 15 francs. Those are expen sive wines, and as very llttlo drunk nt second dejouner, I ordered tho un finished bottles to be placed on tlia table for dinner. But this did not please his highness at all. Ho' sent for me immediatoly, and commanded that, whother llttlo or much was drunk, fresh bottles should be served with ovory repast. That was vory easy; but as I could not think of throwing nway wino worth 20 franca a bottlo, I ordorod tho partly-omptiod bottles to be refilled, rocorkod and sorvod a socond Umo." "And so you woro paid for tho wine twlco ovor?" "Parfaltoraont, why not? Have 1 as many sorts of wlno as nro shown on my list? Not qulto. For Instance thoso throo sorts of Nouchatol aro all drawn from tho samo cask, but the loss is mine, for whon a visitor orders tho cheapor sorts I nm dono out of two francs a bottlo.

Iewis Nixon, the New York Domo- oratio politician and shipbuilder, finds himself n targotfor all tho men with new nautical inventions. Of late there has been a marked run of submarine- boat architects. Tho othor day, after listening for half an hour to explana tions from a man who clearly savored of the crank, Mr. Nixon ventured to show a lack of faith, which caused the Invontor to gathor up his plans, nnd depart in great Indignation. "These submarine follows aro get-i ting on my nerves," remarked Mr. Nixon to n friend. "That chap wants to build a boat modeled aftor ah eol. I'm looking for) some man to turn up with tho plans of a boat using tho duck for n proto-1 type, which can divo and wrench off tho enemy's hull plato with Its cast iron bill, and, If caught In shallow water, can spread Its wings and fly away, uttering loud and doflant quacks on a stoam quackor."
