1t is said that democrat in
Office sometimes dies but never re-
signs. This rule has had an ex-
ception in the case of Mr.. G. P.
Hill, who for the past seven years
has been deputy collector of customs
at Port Hill, this county. Mr.,
Hill has rendered his resign alton to
take effect at the end of the present
quarter, March 81, and his decision
in the matter is final.
Mr.. Hill has a business engage
ment that may take him to Europe
for a few months, but we learn that
he is a candidate for legislative
honors in Kootenai county. While

Of great changes in Old Kootenai,
and it is not known at this office
what party the Port Hill man may
align himself with.

CaIvesfon's Future Danser.

The leading article in the current
number of the National Geographic
Magazine is discussion Of the Gal
weston catastrophe by Mr.. w. J. Nc
Gee. a. former member OF tho United
States Geological Survey. What he
says will not tend to reassure the peo-
pie Of Galveston In their brave work
OF rebuilding the city on Its old site.
Mr. McGee brings scientific evidence
to show that the island on which Gal
weston is located Is gradually sinking
beneath the waters Of the gulf. All
that region OF the gulf coast, like the
New Jersey coast. is undergoing
subsistence more marked than that
which has placed Hollands cultivated
fields thirty feet below tide level. The
present rate Of coast subsideuce In
Holland is about one foot In a CEN
tury. That Of the New Jersey coast
is estimated at two feet in the same
length Of time. Mr.. McGee says the
geologic indications go to show that
the subsistence Of the gulf coast is
nearly as rapid as that in New Jersey
and is certainly not less than foot

HONE FOR TRArNMEN.
Movement On Foot to Take Care of All

II OperatOrH

Movement On Foot to Take Care of All
Aged, Invalid aud Crippled Train
Operators.
There are strong probabilities that
within the next two or three years n
home for aged, invalid and crippled
railway trainmen of all classes will be
established ut some point In the cen
trail west. At the recent convention Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men at Des Moines Iowa, a PROPOSE
ton to build such home was submit
ted, and the members of the convention
showed their favor to it by approprl-
ating $4,000 as starter" toward car
rying it out. All other railroad organ
i2ations In the land, 1t is said, will be
asked to lend their support and assist
ance in realizing the scheme.
Although the plans thus far settled
upon are solely preliminary in their
character, the general idea for the es-
tablishment of the home is quite clear
ly defined. 1t Is said to be the purpose
of those who are the prime spirits In
the movement to advocate the selection
of Columbus, Ohio, or Chicago us n
place wherein to locate the home. 1t
is likely that the home will be mod
eled In degree after such an institu-
tion as that maintained by the Mnsons
al Springfield, Ohio, or as that kept up
for old and iniirm soldiers at Lafay-
ette, Indiana. The Soldiers Home at
Lafayette is practically little town in
itself, there being streets lined with
cottages, an amusement hall, II water
works and nm electric light plant, be-
sides general barracks and officers
quarters.
1t is probable that the various organ
izations OF railway trainmen will be
asked to make contributions to the
general building fund ms quickly as
possible. There have been several sug-
gcstions as to how the fund should be
raised, but 1t is likely that organiza-
tions will lend their financial assist
ance In any manner that they individ-
ually may see fit, About $4,000 will
be needed before the work Of carrying

TRANSMISSION OF blood is n procedure
that must have been employed by
physicians In very early times. Ovid
tells OF Medea bringing back youth to
the aged by the injection into their
veins OF the blood OF young men, and
doubtless the same means was en-
ployed by physicians for less fantastic
objects. The injection OF the blood Of
one person into the veins OF another
was until recently done to save life
after severe hemorrhagc and In vari-
Gus forms OF blood poisoning. Some
times a direct communication was
made between the veins OF the donor
and OF the recipient by means OF n
tube. at other times the healthy sub
jcct was bled Into bowl, and the
blood was beaten to remove the nbrin
