. HUCKLEBERRY FINN AT 90.
Original ef Mask Twain's Hero Tails How tt Came About.
Portiaiid. Ore.—B. F. Finn, the orig¬ inal Ilucklelurry Finu of Mark Twain's books, has Just celebrated his ninetieth birthday at his ranch on the McKenzie river near bere nnd is hale and hearty.
He has a vivid recollection of Mark Twain, with whom he worked on a Mississippi steamboat, but says Twain really didn't got much from himself of what he wrote about Huckleberry Finn except the name.
"We called Clemr'nsJ'harley in those days," sold Finn. "He aud I botb worked on the steamer Shotwell. run¬ ning out of iSt. Louis. I was nick¬ named Huckleberry, and Clemens «eeme<l to take a fancy to the name. Tom Sawyer was my chum, but I was well grrown before Clemens knew me."
Finn has lived on the McKenzie riv¬ er here for forty yours past and, seldom emerges from his retreat. '>

In un¬ civilized ages moat uafloua were ac- cuatomed to the forcible captujre of a brkle by her lover, and tbe aitempta on the part of her male relatlvea to prevent her huaband from carrying her away is typified by a volley of rice In¬ stead of more fatal mUailea

Colorado Springs. Colo.—The Colora¬ do Springs and Canyon City bighway and the Pikes jteak ocean to ocean road in L'te iiass are two of the l>est mountain rmids in the UnlU^d States and two of the l>est examples of the re¬ sults of coiivkt lulwr.
The flrst named la a fine example of scientific road bnlldlng. For twenty miles south of Colotado Springs the road winds arouud tbe foothills and mountains, pructhally the entire i-oad- U'd having Ik^ou eut out of the hillside uud in many places blasted oul of solid rock. For the remalulng twenty-tlve miles the way Is over foolhilla aud through uudulatliig country'. Besides beli.g a marvel in engineering, the road Is one of the most scenic und pictur¬ esque in tlie wesl. pn.s8lng, as it does. lhrou;,'h Iled Ilock canyon. Dead Mau's ciiuyon und many other mountain beau¬ ty spots.
The rond uver.iires ^dghteen feet In width nnd Is perfectly crowned and drained. .Vlthon^'h it offers a succes¬ sion of climbs, so skillfully was the eii- giiieeriu^' work done that heavy grndi^ hnve be<'n oilmluated. aud the motorlBt U confronte<l with ouly one grade ns high as 0 per cent.
Under the <'olorado system each con Vict hi allowed ten days off his seii- teuee for each month of labor ou the roads. This is ii. addition to the usual reductiou for K<"wi behavior. The cost of building many of the mountain ronds would he almost prohibitive if the state were ((impelled to construct them under onliiiiiry conditions.
The entire country lias reai>ed the lieiietlts of Colorado's iiioneering be¬ cause it has beeu able to open to trav¬ elers from nli sections of the country some of its most splendid niountuin .scenery.
Thomns J. Tynnii, warden of the state peiiitontiaiy. under Avhose super¬ vision tho work of the last tliree years has been done, says:
"Basing onr flmircs on actual expe¬ rience, we are confldent that we can construct In the next ten years more thau r>,000 miles of the very finest road¬ ways for less than ^."lOO.OOO. nnd this without adding anything whatever to the burden of the taxpnyers.
