OUR FRIENDS IN OREGON.

Postmaster N. P. Dodge of Grants
Pass, Ore, has written the editor of
the CaledOnian such an interesting
private letter that we feel justified in
giving it to our readers
We had a very pleasant visit from
Mr.. Jones few weeks ago. Our old
pastor, Rev. II. w. Jones, on his way
to Washington (state) made us a
one-day stopover call. With Mrs.
Winch, Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Kinney,
H. w. Kinney and Eve 'uns," wehad
quite st. Johnsbury party, and
passed very pleasant evening. H.
c. Kinney is re-modeling and adding
to his house this summer and is going
to have by far the handsOmest and
best house in town. AS we are lust
across the street and not quite ready
to make extensive additions, we pro-
pose to claim a little glory as near
neighborsl
We are plodding along after the
old style. Our little town is quite
healthy, but not booming. If we can
escape a boom | have no fears for the
future. We have hardly recovered
from the terrible storm of last win
ter, which took nearly all of our
bridges and several farms, more or
less, down and emptied them into
the placid Pacific Not that it made
any difference with the Pacific, but
twas hard on the owners of the
bridges and ranches But as the up
land is best for fruit, and a second
Leadville is being located within 40
miles of us, we shall no doubt survive
the shock. Experts are now here
who have assayed samples from the
new ledge which carry 65 per cent
pure copper. If the ledge proves any
where near as good as the first sam
pie, it will be better than Leadville
Our old friend H. W. Kinney has been
showing up very well as a tender
foot" His first halliday of fishing
resulted in catching two salmon from
the river weighing 712 and 9 pounds.
And for another day he brought in a
deer, owing in part perhaps to hav-
ing good help. M. 7. Utley, for
merly of st. .Johnsbury, accompanied
him each time. We are having busy
week with the Methodist conference
of Oregon in session. The Metho-
dists have just completed a $1,000
church and will dedicate it on Sunday
They have a beautiful church, finished
with native woods Toll finished). Our
yellow pine, oak, laurel and mansan-
ita make very pleasing combina-
ton

NORTH DANVHLE.
Youthful Horse Thieves.

On Wednesday, Aug. 90, Fred
Brooks and boy named Deos, both
aged about 15 years and both in the
employ of Fred Stanton, took one OF
his horses and a road cart and left
notified and search instituted. They
were traced to Lyndonville, East St.
Johnsbury, Victory, Burke, Sutton
and northward. The team was
found about 80 miles from Montreal
last week Wednesday, but the boys
had disappeared. The boys had at
tracted attention all along the road,
and in number of towns they were
questioned with reference to the
team. At one house in Burke they
applied for lodging and the request
was granted, but about 10 o'clock
the man of the house became suspi-
cious and questioned them. They
said they were from Broomfeld. He
told them that they were lying and
that they had stolen the horse. The
boys denied his charge, but he was
aroused and drove them out. Had
he suffered them to remain, they
would undoubtedly have been taken,
as the officers arrived at the same
place the next morning.
There will be a promenade concert
at Sanborn's hall Saturday evening.
The village school began Monday
with the same teacher, Miss Helen

Moses Varney of New York city, a

RECENT DEATHS.
AIvOrd.

Few young people of our village
have grown up into life of more ac-
tivitv and usefulness than Miss Lucia
M A1vord. For many years she has
been a teacher much esteemed in the
public schools of this and other
towns She was five years in our
Union school, three in the Montpelier
high school, subsequently three years
at Ridgefield, Conn, and a year ago
she was called to st. Johnsbury
Academy as instructor in Latin and
English She had but just begun
her work in the Academy when she
was obliged to relinquish it. She
spent the winter in North Carolina,
returned in early summer and died
at her home, Friday, August %,
aged "a. Early in life she found her
self confronted by obligations that
seemed to her imperative. To these
she gave herself with unsparing
devotion and with an energy that
rapidly preyed upon her vital force.
She was by nature quick, original,
conscientious. She proved herself
apt to teach and capable in whatever
fell to her charge. For 16 years she
was a member of the South church,
ready always for any service asked
of her She passed away beloved
and lamented by a large circle of
friends. Deep sympathy is felt for
the family of Mr.. Alvord from
whom have been taken all but one
of eight children, three within the
fourteen months past.
Jones.
Mrs. Lydia Bishop Jones, who died
at Lyndon last Thursday, was the
youngest and last surviving child of
Nathaniel and Martha Bishop, who
came from Seekonk to St. Johnsbury
in 1894, eight years after this town
was chartered. They lived in log
house above Fairbanks village.
Nearly all her life was spent in St.
Johnsbury, and she retained vivid
recollection of events of years ago.
More than once she has furnished in
teresting memoranda which has sub
sequently appeared in addresses or
papers relating to the early history
of our town. From her the writer of
this obtained the original constitu-
ton with sigma lures of the first tenn
perance society of st. Johnsbury, or
ganized February, 1898. On that
paper are the autographs of 81 men,
including nearly all the leading citi-
zens of the place, none of whom are
now living. Mrs. Jones and her hus-
band united with the North church
in 1881, and they were among the
number set off as a colony to form
the South church in 1851, in which
body she retained membership and
lively interest till death She en-
dured patiently ten months of great
suffering, and passed away in the
strength and JOY of Christian faith

Now that labor troubles are out of the way
and the money market again brought to a con-
dition of positive ease, there is growing dispo-
sition in Wall street to look upon the hopeful
side of the situation. While there is not yet
any marked disposition to operate on the long
side to any extent, the feeling is more gener'
ally bullish than at any time since the spring
boom was on, and stocks being all IN strong
hands are held most firmly. The market,
therefore, displays decidedly firm tone on a
small volume of business. To-day there was
something like a boom at the opening and sales
were made at material advances over Satur-
days final figures. the gains generally extend
ing to "a per cent, while Sugar was up rs per
cent. The number of stocks traded in was
larger than usual Of late and the strength
reached ali portions of the list. although further
gains, especially in the general list, were 1nslg-
nif1cant. London was a moving factor in the
advance, and some commission buying helped
early gains, but the demand was soon satisfied,
aud dizziness becoming again feature. traders
were again encouraged to take the short side,
especially as tnere was an effort TO bid up
money, which, however, was unsuccessful, and
rates Immediately dropped back to the lowest
of the day. The action Of Rock Island in an
nouncing reduction in rates after the delay
was ordered led TO the impression that insiders
were working for lower prices and that the
stock would be easily marked down. 1t was,
therefore. made the object of special pressure,
and from 6215 it was ratified off to 1919. Sugar
also yielded materially in the forenoon and the
rest of the market sagged off in sympathy,

Pure Watar.

Az article in the Times of the 9th states
that some of our citizens send away for
spring water for drinking purposes. Why
should they do this when by the use OF one
of Pasteur's Germ Proof Filters the river or
artesian water can be made absolutely pure
and wholesomel
This is new invention by the celebrated
French physician after whom it is called.
The wafer is forced through number OF
pore alain tubes, which are so arranged as to
be protected from the least danger of con-
tamination, as it passes directly from the
hydrant. Physicians and others interested
are invited to inspect its workings at the
crockery house Of James s. Silva, where al
information will be cheerfully furnished.

A boy with wonder full capacity for cold

last evening for people who dwell around the
South Park. There is tall stand pipe near
the park, where the sprinkling carts load
