A FINE GIFT.
Graduate of Bowdoin Remembers His
Alma Mater.

Hon. Henry J. Furber, who has always
been a good friend to Bowdoin college,
from which he was graduated in the class
Of 1861, has secured plans for the erection
of Psi Epsilon chapter house, the con-
structlon of which is to be begun at an
early date. The chapter house win be 10.
Gated on the land of the Psi Epsilon ira
tern1ty of Bowdoin, and it is hoped that
additional land may be obtained from
the Johnson lot, II not also from the Nc
Keen lot, all located in front of the col
lege campus. Mr.. F'urber proposes to as
sist literally in the construction OF this
building which it is expected VIII cost
about 5000 1t viii contain on the first
floor, besides piazzas, a spacious recep-
ton room, library, dining room, Iavato-
ries, closets, ETC., besides kitchen and
caretakers' living rooms. On the second
floor there win be rooms for sixteen stu
dents, four from each class. The dining
room, it is desired, shall seat about forty
guests. The chapter house win be so ar
ranged that the meetings Of the fraternity
can be easily accommodated on side
benches leaving a central open space in
which extra chairs can be placed on spec
iaI occasions and during commencement
season. The chapter house will be heated
with steam, ana every room viii be sup
piled with hot ana cold water.
s 1t is Mr.. Furber-s desire to establish
the chapter house on plan somewhat
novel. He would like to see a number of
the rooms awarded rent free as honors for
scholarship for those IN the fraternity
thus distinguishing themselves While in
college, and he would have the rent of
the rooms placed perhaps a little below
those In the college. certainly not high
er, stree he desires to win to the society
those men particularly who are distin-
guished for mental and moral ability
rather than for the size OF their pocket
books. He would have those students
who receive their rooms, rent free, from
the fraternity. regard the rent as an hon.
orabIe and an honorary loan which they
are to return to the society whenever
they find themselves In after life, able so
to do Without crippling themselves.
In this way he thinks the fraternity
viii have an income that VIII be honor
able, and those students who have good
brains but pocketbooks of small size viii
thus be assisted to continue in college
without being obliged to stay out now
and then a term to teach In order to get
funds enough 80 pay their college ex-
penses. Mr.. Furber was once a young
man, poor in pocket, and was assisted by
the Upham scholarship. He has since
repaid the collegeswith interest more than
having contributed to the
memorial building and also having |
founded the Smythe scholarship, which |
he expects later on to reinforce by further |
gifts, as the rate of interest on the fun d
Will soon be reduced, and he desires to
maintain it's income intact.

THE POnLARD FAMILY SAFE.

The last Sunday Times published a
statement to the effect that there were
fears that Mr. and Mrs. James Pollard,
their son, Mr.. John Pollard, and their
daughter, Mrs James, had perished In
the Galveston inundation, as nothing
had been heard from them since the
disaster. Yesterday Mr.. A. e. Chase re-
ce1ved a despatch from the New York
journal, saying that they were all safe.
Nothing has come from them direct,
however, and it is surmised that they may
been made Ill by the disaster and unable
to communicate with their relatives.

On a Gold Basis.

The granite gravel, with which
the bed Of the U. P. r. r. is ballas-
ted is said'to contain gold amounting
to four dollars for every ton of the
granite. The reason this is not
utilized is that it costs six dollars a
ton to extract the gold from the
quartz, hence the expenses would
overrun the assets. AS there are
about 40 tons of the gravel to every
SO feet of the road it will be seen
that there is about 1910, of gold
under every brace of rails where
the road is ballasted. Surely the
Union Pacific railroad is run on a
gold basis.-Dawson Co. Pioneer

AT AN AFTERNOON TEA.

How speedily have "teas" and calls
Supplanted what has vanished!

Then, left to my devices,
Went fitting here and fitting there
In search of mental spices. %
In vain my search. Wherever went

Some gushed in phrases rapid.

From one of coming scandal;
One said she hated old Carlyle,
Another hated Handel.

glitch Rider Of lrrigating States.
Is Americas Greatest Blood Medicine

One of the newest of occupations is
that of .'ditch rider" in the Western
states which have large irrigating canals.
The ''.ditch rider" patrols the ditch
throughout the season of actual operation
to see that the works are in good repair
and to superintend the proper distribu-
ton of water to the various stockholders
or irrigators from the system. Where a
ditch is not longer than twelve or fifteen
miles. one ditch rider is expected to pa
troll its entire length, but upon more ex-
tensive systems several may be required.
In the latter case the canal is divided
into divisions, each of which is patroled
by a separate rider and the length of a
division depends upon the character Of
the duties, varying with the amount of
repairs, the danger of breaks and leaks
and the number of regulating gates to
look after. The average length of di-
vision is from twelve to fifteen miles, and
the average compensation for the work
ranges from $50 to $75 a month, out of
which he must pay his own board and
furnish and maintain his own horse and
