sheriff's Sal airy.

At the last meeting of the county
board the members took the initiatory
steps in changing the office of sheriff i'll
Villas county, from afee Office to a salary
one, by passing a resolution to such an
effect. Although the change from the
present fee office will not be operative
until two years from next fall, the board
in doing this meet the hearty approx al
OF Villas county's tax payers.
The law relative to the change requires
that whenever a county board sees tit to
make the change, resolution to such an
effect shall first be passed by them, and
at the next annual meeting thereafter,
the county board shall fix the salary.
Thenext annual meeting of the county
board can not be held until after Sheriff
O'Connor's successor in office has been
elected, hence the change can i'll no way
effect his successor At the time the sal
airy will be fixed, not member OF the
county board will know VINO will be the
person it will effect, hence giving no one
an opportunity to show favoritism or
spite, but placing the office of sheriff on
an equitable and just salary.
The changing of the office from a Zee
office to salary one, by the mem
bers OF the different parts OF tire
state has become quite common. The
fatal mistake in passing the resolution,
requiring the change and fixing the salary
at the same meeting has also been done
by number of county boards III differ
ent parts of the state, notably in Winnie
bago, Ashland and Bayfield, counties.
Two years from next fall, mary seem to
some of our readers a long time ahead,
in which to make change, but the pres
emit board could not put tire change in
operation sooner and still fbe within the
bounds of, law,

of great deal of interest to homes toad

1t is bill to quiet title to lands pur-

government to issue patents in spite of
any techinal error which may have
crept into the record:
1t provides that when it shall appear

error has been made by the officers of

entrymau making the proof, the certifi-
cate OF entry shall be confirmed to the

provided also that the final payment
must be made and there must be no nd

SO that communication of homesteads EN-
tries shall take effect from the date of set
Element and not from date of entry.
1t provides that ll combinations OF
homestead enteries shall be allowed af.
ter the expiration of the Il months from
the date of settlement.

Further light ON This subject is especially
desirable, as ii may give most valuable

idea is favored by SOME leading practitipn-

the concentration upon them Of vibrations
of exactly suitable pitch and strength. In
many of the best equipped telephone cx-

for reducing the ear fatigue of the operator

look at this huge structure from either
shore of the Firth one does not realize
its immensely. One reason is it's sym
metry; another is that the heaviest
work is too far away from the eye, but
this is all changed IN crossing. The
traveller is within touch Of the gigantic
girders and steel pillars, which latter
may be compared to the leviathians Of
the California forest, for their magni-
tude is almost overwhelming. His
wonderment is how they were ever con-
structed, transported to their positions
and kept so until the vast whole was
united The two engineers who de-
signed, and the contractor who success
fully executed the plans were l1nighted,
a very popular custom in vogue In this
country of rewarding ability and slim
ulating others to emulate and if posi-
bic excel the examples of their fellows
or those who have gone before.
After a day in Dundee, the third
largest and important city in Scotland,
and very old, quite prosperous, but not
very inviting in appearance, for it is
built of stone and the architecture is
severely plain and all alike, | continued
my trip northeast by horse and car
riage. Skilting the GTampian Hills,
thence into the centre
OF THE SOUTHEAST HIGHLANDS,
near the headwaters of the beautiful
river Dee, miles away from railroads,
and where great tracts of forest and
moor are reserved for hunting Of deer
and the shooting of grouse; thence
along the Dee side over splendid roads,
through the Duke Of Flies, Lord Far
quharson's and the Balmoral domains,
which in each case represents miles up
on miles Of territory, TO Ballater, where
the railway again is reached a two
hours and half ride brings the tray
eler to Aberdeen.
Aberdeen is a most attractive and
prosperous city, in fact the fourth in
size and importance in Scotland, stu
ated between the mouths of the rivers
Dee and Don. and within full view Of
the North Sea or German Ocean. AL
though we'll exposed to the severe north
and east winds which prevail, the dem
liens claim that the winters are mild,

st. Paul boomer who had the nerve TO
remark that the winters were so warm
that mortar wouldn't freeze. The arch

myrmidons on guard and logged off to
prison. How these wretches must have
lOnged for Sunday, on which day they
were allowed unreStrained liberty to eX-
tend their peram bulations where they
list, so that by midnight they were
again within the Sanctuary limits. No
wonder that on week days they Tex
perienced the impotence Of a mastiff
who tugs in vain to extend the limits
which his chain permits" Strange as
1t may seem, this relic of inhuman laws
was not abolished until 1S6O-65. But I
must bid adieu to this interesting old
town if 1 expect TO say a few words
about other parts Of my trip.
BY having an early breakfast one can
take the train and reach Melrose in
time for a hurried visit to the three
great attractions in the neighbOrhood,
viz: Abbotsford, Dryburgh and Melrose
Abbeys, and be away the same evening.
l would not advise it, however, unless
ones time makes it a necessity. Two, or
even three days, are not too long TO
larry in the vicinity. The country lies
prettily, is well cultivated, and in this
month when the fields
ARE FULL OF HARVEST HANDS,
is a most animated and charming pic
ture. The railway skirts the head
waters of the River Tweed, and where
the smart town of Gallashiels $50 cele-
brated for its tweed cloths, stands, the
stream attains the proportions of a
small river. and as its swift current
turns and bends, the scenery becomes
yet more attractive. AbbotsfOrd, Sir
Walter SCOTS baronial and seQuestered
home. is located some five miles from
the town of Melrose. The Tweed
swishes pass the foot of its spacious
garden. and I should think that the
house is so thoroughly sheltered from
