of health. That board doesn't propose
to mistake chickenpox for smallpox.

One OF the famous landmarks of
Machias, the old historic Burnham
tavern narrowly escaped being burned
the other night. The Burnham tavern
is the oldest, house in Machias having
been butt several years previous to- the
outbreak of the Revolutionary war.
After The battle of Machias bay. when
the British frigate Margaretta was
captured, the commander of that ILL
fated craft. Capt. Moore. Was taken to
the Rurnham tavern where the wounds
which he had received were dressed and
where on the following day he died.
The many other historical events which
transpired at the famous old tavern
during the war for independence, gave
the place a degree of prominence which
has kept the name familiar to the pub
lie during the century and a quarter
that have since passed. Practically no
repairs have been made on the house
for many years and it is now in
somewhat Gilapidated condition. In
view of this a proposition has recently
been made that a fund be raised by
popular subscription to preserve the
building but as yet no definite move
has been made in the matter.

at the advanced age of 81 years, for
many years had been known as the

A recent interview published in
number Of papers to the ehect that
sooner or later the alkali problem Will
result in the undoing OF the West Is
a statement that has alarmed many
persons who are fearful that the gov
ernment, in embarking upon irrigation
development, is launching into an un-
known and dangerous enterprise. A
well known scientist" too modest
however, to allow the use Of his name
states in an interview at Washington
that genuine arid countries are al
ways ruined sooner or later by irriga-
ton. which brings the alkali 10 the
surface" When the matter was called
TO Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson s
attention he said: Who is the man
who made the statement? Did not
give his name? Well. he must have
something Of lack Of confidence in his
ability TO back up his statements
There is nothing in them. The soil
bureau Of this department has been
studying the alkali problem in the
West for years. and our experiments
have shown that ordinary under drain
age coupled with irrigation flooding
will reclaim the worst alkali lands.
As matter Of fact the valley Of the
Nile has not escaped alkalization.
Large tracts have been abandoned for
years because Of the excessive alkali,
and II is only recently that science has
proceeded TO reclaim these lands TO ag-
riculture Lake Abukir. situated nea,
the Nile delta, is an old bed Of 25,0o0
acres lying 3 or feet below the sea

upon which absolutely nothing would

crops Of cotton corn. clover and grass

The opinion OF the press gen
orally seems to be that the ac-
quittal of jim Tillman, the muir
derer OF Editor Gonzales, of Co.
lumbia, S. @, was a mere tray
esty on justice and is likely to
lead to even a worse condition
of affairs in the Palmetto State.
On account of Tillman's family
connections and prominence, a
verdict of murder in the first de
gree was not looked for, but few
expected an out-and-out acquit-
tai. There must be something
radically wrong with the South
Carolina jury system.
