But to the farmer and fruit raiser
the prevalence of the deer has become
a serious nuisance. The animals are
so numerous and tame that they run
over cultivated farm lands and gar
dens. and poke their noses into the
windows of farm houses. They seam
II understand that no ons dares kill
them, and that the hands of every
bouy are tied except for 10 days in
each year, and then as against them
all except one deer per hunter. Ihey
trample down and browse upon the
growing grain ard vegetables. and
they 90 through orchards like an in
sect plague, sharpening their horns on
the trunks of the trees, scraping oil
the bark. browsing Oh the leaves and
eating and knocking off the fruit Hnd
trampling it under foot. No ordinary
fence or wall stands in tteir way, and
the situstio9 for the agriculturlst
comes down to just this. Either the
) ate Legislature must extend the open
hunting season and increase tue mum
Der of deer which one person may
take, or he must 60 to the expense OF
putting a wire fercing eight feet high
or higher about all of his cultivated

pepse that few Vermont farmers can
afford.

As n Board of Trade.

Some of the brethren are taking falls
out of the dormant boards of trade in
their respective cities and towns. 1t
seems question whether these organi-
cations are as rule benefit or not.
Judging them as they are, and not as
they might be, they are usually for
ornamental purposes only. and simply
serve as an excuse for complete apathy
on the part of the public. A board of
trade is supposed to have for its chief
aim the promotion of home Industries
and improvements. Rightly organized
and constituted, and sustained as it
should be by the whole citizenship, no
reason exists why it should not be a
power for good. Then. when it
fails, the board gets the kicking. Ii
the right spirit prevailed in town. that
town would not require board of trade,
although it might serve useful pur-
pose. If the right spirit does not pre-
vail. the board of trade might as well
adjourn sine die. The same spirit that
pervades the town will be felt by the
board representing it-whether lively or
listless. Randolph Herald.

the indefensible position of doing noth- ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 ,. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the h. dians should be gathered on the reser- vations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, and that they be furnished with farming implements and an mex. haustible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may become self supporting. By this means will home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as conse- quence. He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at distance where they are kept Gas it would seeml for mere purposes of show. After being in- structed in the arts of civilization for a time they are returned to savagery, to become more unhappy and discon- tented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We feel that the present policy of the Indian department is all wrong in this regard

ONE RELIGIOUS SERVICE.
An Old California Church wkere Worship Is Held But Once
 Year.

An old Spanish church at Santa Cruz. Cal. has long since been aban- doned to the bats and the rats. No religious service is held there except once q year-on Christmas eve. Ex- ternally the church looks ike stable and has no furniture except a mag nificent brass chandelier. The floor and walls are of stone and on the eastern side there is a manager, look ing through the bars of which one sees the scenes of nativity. with the towers of castles and palaces in the distance. In the foreground the vir- gin sits by the manager holding the infant Saviour, with St. Joseph lean ing over her, and the wise men offer ing sheep, oxen and various precious gifts.
 Outside this interior stable there are figures of men carrying sheep and calves on their shoulders, hastening to the sacred scene.
 Tn this chapel worshipers remain all night on their knees. This manager side of the old church is against the east wall, high rpon which is the only window in the edifcs, so that tie first rays of the morning sun irradiate the scenes of the nativity, which come as q roseate glow, and as soon as this reaches the worshipers they leave the church, light cigarettes and begin their festivities

HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4.
To the Senate and House of Representa- lives of the United States in Con-
 qress Assembled.

We, your Memorialists, the Nine teenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, respectfully rep resent that the National Irrigation Congress, held in Phoenix. Arizona, on the l1th of December, A. D. 1896, unan- imously adopted the following:'
 Whereas. The Pima and Maricopa Indians. tribes numbering in the aggregate ten thousand souls, have been deprived of the waters used by them in irrigation before the advent of the white race in America, through the appropriation of such waters by settlers on the headwGters of the Giia river; and
 Whereas, Through the loss of such waters the lands once cultivated by these tribes have become barren and worthless, and the members of such tribes have become a charge on the Government. and forced by the loss of their fields into lives of degrada- tion and penury and
 Whereas, Such tribes have from the ear Hest days been the friends and allies of the white race; and
 Whereas, The people of the United States have pledged themselves by solemn treaty to protect such tribes in their property and property rights; and
 Whereas, The Government of the United States has and now is engaged in the ex- penditure of hundreds of thousands of dol lars for the construction of works of irriga- tion for the reclamation of lands belonging to other Indian trlDeS; tleTeIOre. De IL
 Resolved That this Congress do approve the proposed construction. under the plans of the U. 5. Geological Survey. of the Buttes reservoir. in Pinal county, Arizona, recently reported to again reclaim the lands of these tribes, believing that by so doing can the Government alone honorably redeem the broken pledges made by it to these people, and thus preserve from further want and degradation two of the surviving Indivn tribes of the American continent that have always been the constant friends of the white race.
 Resolved, That we approve the proposed construction of such reservoir not only as just and philanthropic but as economical and good policy. as in comparatively shor. time the expense of maintaining such ln- dians as Government charges will far exceed the cost of the irrigation works required tC make them self-supporting and self-re- specting community.
 New, therefore, your Memorialists, the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record as earnestly endorsing the above recommendations of the Sixth National Irrigation Congress foi the following reasons:
