Congress to spend 100000 to aid
State and local Health Boards in pre-
venting the introduction and spread

Mr.. Evarts' credentials were pre-.
scented to the Senate, last week, and

defective.
The bill to extend the benefits Of

vides for an appropriation of 500, 900
to telegraph to the chief signal Officer

900 to help the New Orleans Exhibi

President Arthur laid before the
House of Representatives, Tuesday
the documents on the part of Mrs
Grant and Mr.. Vanderbilt raising 6
trust in favor of the United States re.
lating to historical mementos of Sen
eral Grants illustrious military and
civil career. BY the option of Mrs
Grant, the trust is determined, and
thus, in the Presidents words, "by
the generosity of private citizen,
Mr.. Vanderbilt, "ioined to the high
sense Of public regard which animates
Mrs. Grant," these valuable and in
teresting relics are transferred imme-
diately~to the government. With briet
and well chosen language the Presi-
dent remarks that such gift g de-
mands full and signal recognition in
behalf of the nation at the hands of its
representatives"

In speaking of Mrs. Yseult Dudley,
the woman who fired upon Rosa, the
Springfield Republican makes the fol-
lowing remark, which all consistent
and law abiding people will heartily
endorse:
People should not fail to observe
how soon the heroic character falls
away from the modern assassin. Mrs.
Yseult Dudley is no more respected
than Rosa himself. Her history is
now sufficiently cleared up as that of
a clever adventures, who has varied
her indulgence in social Irregularities
with seasons of insanity. 1t is only
occasionally that she has done any,
thing so honorable as professional
nursing, and she had become such a
nuisance to all her friends that they
were glad to have her sail for Ameri-
ca. The people who are emulating
her bloody act and raising funds for
her defense are simply trying to make
heroine of a woman whose courage
is equal to anything but well ordered
life and commonplace honor and use
fulness. The real heroines are not
those who fire pistols and shed blood
unmoyed, but those who carry with
fortitude the secret burdens of life.
Rosa and his assailant deserve
common edium in the fact that they
profess to resort to the murder of in
dividuals without warning, as a means
of reforming evils for which their VIC
Tins are not known to be responsible.

In your paper Of the 22d ult., it
said that the cattle of A. J. Hart
were DESTROYS of eating wood that had
been used for different purposes, and
I presume bones also. If it is the
same cause that is preventing them
from doing we'll this winter that trou-
bled them last summer, | would feed
them ashes in salt, and after feeding
them a sufficient quantity of salt,
would feed them ashes without it.,
being careful that only a reasonable
quantity be put before them at first,
as some might take enough to give
them a sore mouth for time. | have
no doubt that had the "ounce OF pre-
vention" been given last summer the
stock would be we'll now, but whether
the pound would now prove "pound
of cure" | am not so certain, for L do
not remember of animals doing so
poorly in winter from the same cause.
The season that cattle desire to eat
wood and bone is, | suppose, to sup
ply them with properties thathave be-
come extinct in our old and long cul-
tivated lands. In feeding ashes care
should be taken that no glass or other
dangerous substance is given.

Letter from Oregon,
PORTLAND. OREGON


Messrs. Editors:
In the last issue Of your paper,
which has reached me, l notice that
your correspondent, IS. W." takes
exception to some of my statements
concerning distances and railroad
fares in this country. | fnd, on re-
ferring to the railway guide, that the
distance from this city to Olympia,
which is situated on the extreme
southern end of Puget Sound, is 119
miles. Seattle is further north, and
! Whatcom still further, the sound
being 200 miles long, with towns and
cities all along the whole distance
1t is said that when a man takes a
homestead on the sound he immedl-
ately divides it up into town lots ard
calls it city. Since | wrote, the
Northern Pacific has slightly reduced
its local fares, so that now the fare to
Seattle is IS, the distance being 157
miles. If, however, your cOrrespon-
dent had occasion, as [ had, not long
since, to visit Summit, the first sta
ton on the O. & G road, distant three
miles from Portland, he would find,
if he went by rail, that he would be
obliged to pay % Genus, which is not
very far from being 10 cents per mile,
though fares are about six cents per
mile. The rate from Minneapolis or
st. Paul is $110, and the distance
1900 miles. | am referring to first
class fare, for l am assuming that
Vermont people cannot be herded
into the vile emigrant cars provided
for the newly arrived German and
Irish Emigrant, but when they travel
prefer to so in comfort and cleanli-
ness.
Our big snow has all gone and the
blockaded trains have arrived. The
railroad officials claim to have made
herculean efforts, but all the same the
train did not start till the sunbeams
melted the snow and ice, and had it
not been for the thaw the train would
have been blocked yet. The storm
was unprecedented, and the railroad
men without experience in SUCH
emergencies, so that what effort was
made counted for little or Lothing. A
friend of mine, formerly of Burling-
ton, VT, now a contractor here, told
me that to management acquainted
with such conditions there would have
been no need of leaving the passeu-
gers showed up 20 hours. Your cor
respondent from Arkansas put deal
of "horse sense" into his advice to
Green Mountain boys. l know of
young men from Vermont who are
to-day working a good deal harder in
Oregon for living than ever they
were obliged to do in the old State,
and are glad to get work of any kind
to do. DOCTOR.

FROM EDEN

Representative Stone, of Eden, said
his town adopted the town system three
years ago. There was an increase in the
total attendance from 1926 weeks in the
last year under the district system, to
150S5 in the first year under the town
system. The aggregate cost for the last
year under the district system was 1927 :;
the first year under the town system
1862. The tax for the first year, when
they built one new school house and re-
paired the old ones, was 40 per cent, the
second year 30 per cent, and the third
year % per cent. Under the old system
some districts had paid taxes as high as
100, and l24 per cent. More weeks of
school, better schools, permanent teach
ers, schools in districts that had been
without schools under the old system,
and the allaying of district quarrels had
been some of the beneficial results of the
three years experience
