The CALIFORNIAN takes pleasure in pre-
senting to its readers a picture of the
new hospital soon to be opened in St.
Johnsbury. Residents Of the town and
former townspeople will easily recognize
it as the Gov. Erastus Fairbanks place in
Fairbanks village, so loug occupied by
the late c. M. Stone and his family. The
scheme to use this slightly residence as a
hospital originated with the St. Johns
bury physicians and at an informal
meeting last week committee ofinter-
ested citizens were chosen to take steps
to incorporate the hospital, choose a
name, and draw up a set ofrues and
bylaws. Friends of the institution have
easily been interested in the scheme and
promises to furnish at least eight rooms
have been received from individuals,
churches and secret societies. The number
will undoubtedly be increased as soon as
the building is ready for use. as all are
much interested in the success of the
institution.
The house chosen for this purpose is
one of the best built residences in town,
is lit by gas and heated throughout by
steam and before the hospita is opened
it will be put in thorough condition tor
use.
The CALIFORNIAN congratulates the
doctors on securing on such favorable
terms a hospital and believes that it will
at once become one OF the leading iustitu
| tions OF our town.

st. Johnsbury entertains on Thursday
evening a new lecturer, Col. L. F. Cope
land OF Harrisburg, Penn, and his lee
ture in Music Hall ought to draw a
large crowd. He is one of the best
known platform orators now before the
public and in the larger cities of the
United States he mas appeared many
seasons in succession and always given
good satisfaction. His subject, "Snobs
and Snobbery," is an attractive one and
Col Copeland will handle it in way to
please. Tickets for this lecture may be
obtained at Bingham's or at the door
the evening OF the lecture.
The following extracts from press
notices will be read with interest:
That the lecture association made a
"happy hit" when it engaged Col. l.. F.
Copeland was fully demonstrated last
night by the large and cultured audience
that greeted him. From the Colonel's
opening words until he said Good
Night" his listeners were captivated and
entranced by flow Of eloquence, wit.
humor, keen satire, pathos, and beauty
of thought rarely found in single lee
ture : Dubuque (Ia.) Herald.
Col. Copeland's lectures have no made
up or read.up flavor about them. While
evidently thought out with care, the
Auency OF the language, the broad and
firm grasp upon principles. the Logical
progression of the augmentation, show
well furnished and disciplined mind, a
ripe and ready scholarship, and make
everything fresh and strong and lively a:
the product of the moment. The ire
quent sallies of wit and humor, and tn,
rich fun, as well as apt illustrative force
OF the anecdotes, contribute happily to
keep awake the interest and secure un
wearied attention. Philadelphia Press

Loech's Railroad Plans.

IT present plans are carried out the
mining districts of Boulder county will
soon be we'll equipped with railroad IA
cilities for the transportation of ores, says
the Denver Republican.
A party of surveyors has been at work
for several weeks surveying route in
Boulder canon from Nederland to Boul-
der, and is now within few miles of tha.
place. M. F. Leech is promoting the
scheme. and says his plans are for the
construction of two-foot gauge line to
traverse the hills in all directions where.
ever business can be obtained. something
after the plan of the Gilpin county tram.
way. All mining camps of the county are
to be connected and big reduction plant
erected at Boulder. He claims that ar
rangemenis have been made with a big
railway company to finance the scheme,
and If the necessary rights of way can be
secured. there will be no difficulty in put.
ting it on its feet.
1t is proposed first to build line from
Boulder to Nederland, Caribou and Ell
dora and afterward build spurs to the 9TH
er camps OF the county. The surveys al.
ready show that Eldora can be reached
with grade of not to exceed FIVE per
cent, and that the run can be made in less
than an hour and half.
The two-foot gauge has been chosen for
economical reasons He saws the rost of
two-foot road will not be more than
one-quarter the cost of a standard gauge
line. and as a two.foot gauge will han.
die all the business of the county, to
construct standard gauge line would
be waste Of money, while the profits
of operation wou uld be greatly reduced
He cites the example of a two.foot gauge
line in South America. which operates
$40 miles Of road and pays profit of 80
per cent yearly, while speed of 80
rciles per hour can be maintained. He
says all of the business OF the South
American road is not equal to the busi-
ness that can be secured from Boulder
county. AS soon as the preliminary sur.
.eys are completed, Mr.. Leech will lay
the results before his hackers, and he
thinks the scheme will 60 through.
Mr.. Leech was one of the promoters
of the Colorado & Northwestern road,
and it is thought by some that his pres.
ent operations are in the interest of that
company,

The shifting of the burden of the re-
sponsibillty of the Philippine war upon
Aguinaldo seems to be a growing idea
with the administration. 1t matters not
that the United States had agreed upon
a purchase price with Spain and intend
ed to keep the islands, the mere fact
that Aguinaldo resented the expressed
intentions and began fight for liberty.
throws the onus of blame for the present
condition of affairs upon him. While
the explanations are being given to show
how difficult it is to let 20, it might also
be well to begin preparing some agru-
ments to show why we first took hold
Blaming Aguinaldo and making a plea
of self defense seems little gauzy for a
permanent excuse. Let's have another.
