1t is curious how in British India the
same surnames keep recurring. Col.
Younghusband has just been' leading
an expedition into Thibet which is call
ing forth a good deal of criticism at
the present moment. At the time of
the Indian Mutiny there was a Colonel
Younghusband in charge of one of the
mutinous regiments which were for
tunately disarmed when the present
Lord Roberts was lieutenant of Bonn
bay artillery. The name of Young
husband is as well known in the Indian
army as that of Battye, at least seven
of whom have been connected with the
Guides and have been killed in COM
mand. The first scion of the race was
killed before Delhi at the time of the
mutiny, and others have fallen in
Afghanistan and in border wars, al
ways leading the same battalion. Miss
Purvis, who was for many years resi-
dent on the Islands married a Captain
Younghusband, a very clever engineer
officer. The Col Younghusband in
Thibet is a cousin.

A foreigner can not own land in Jap
an, although a number of foreigners
may organize themselves into a COM
pany, to be known and registered as =
"juridical person." and this company
has all the property rights of a native
citizen. Without the organization of a
company as juridical person, foreign
ers may lease land and own buildings
or trees thereon, and may take mort-
cages on a private railway, providing
the permission of the Government is
previously obtained. But in case Of
foreclosure and sale the MORTGAGE, if
a foreign person or company, would
be at the mercy of the railroad COM
pany, since he could not bid in the
properly himself; furthermore, at any
time after twenty-five years from the
late at which the railroad company OBJ
tanned official sanction to operate the
road, the Government could buy UP the
road and announce its intention to sue
coed to the rights of the MORTGAGE. In
the words of a prominent Japanese
lawyer, Things may be arranged in
such a way that the Government may
purchase the road at its own price"
Under these circumstances the mort
gage right does not furnish satisfactory
security, and the formation and regis
tration of juridicial person is attend
ed by difficulties and subject to contin-
gencies which make it an undesirable
prerequisite to investment. There has
been some talk of making changes in
the law concerning the right of a for
eigner to hold land, but this has not
yet been done.

1t seems that with the high buildings
which have been erected in the city,
that it would be a wise thing for the
fire department chief to exercise his
men in climbing great heights, with the
ordinary apparatus of fire men. The
New York, Chicago, San Francisco all
exercise their men in meeting such
difficulties, and the men become very
expert. Given a short hooked lad
der, and a rope and some of these men
would ascent the face of the Young
building or the Stangenwaid building
with ease. Whether any of our fire
men would do it is problematical In
New York and other cities the fire
brigades give exhibition drills of their
proficiency. IT might be well TO es-
tablish something of the kind here.

the money derived from the irstand
second mortgages. These proceed
ings extended over a period of
several weeks, consuming in all
about five days Of time, and during
that period Smith made various
statements as to what he had done
with the money, and why he had
given a second mortgage, be claim.
ing that the former was given to his
sister for the purpose of paying
money he had borrowed from her.
Some time ago the evidence taken
by Mr.. Warner as referee was certi-
fed to Judge Weber, aud on last
Saturday the latter rendered his
opinion, the concluding portion of
which is as follows:
The defendant admitted that on the
10Th day of May, 1902, he received of
w. H. Gold the sum of $4,000, and his
evidence as to the disposition of the sum
seems to me to be unreasonable and in
credible, and he should be charged with
having that sum in his possession or
under his control.
Ordered, that within ten days after
the service of copy of this order on
said defendant, John G. Smith, and
his attorney, A. e, Dolliff, said defend
ant, John G. Smith, pay to Bowers &
Howard, as attorneys for plaintiff, the
sum of 81, 200 to be applied towards the
satisfaction of the judgment
This is only a portion of the YER
dict, and in case the plaintiff s at
torneys can find property belong
ing to Smith, at any future time, suf-
ficient to satisfy the remainder of
the Judgment, or part of it, they
will have the right to seize it for
that purpose. AS will be seen in
another column foreclosure proceed
ings have been commenced by Mr..
Gold on the first mortgage.
On Saturday morning Bowers &
Howard secured transcript of the
order and Sheriff Schueller was
started for Smith farm to serve the
papers, which we're served at the
same time on his attorney, A. c.
Dolliff.

The deceased was born at Rem
vile July 20, 1882. With his par
ents he later moved to California
and attended the schools at Pasa-
dena, and one year at the university
of Oregon. When the family re-
turned to Renville he attended the
high school and graduated two
years ago. He then entered the
law department OF the state univer-
sity, where, had he lived he would
have graduated next year.
A remarkable circumstance sug-
gestion by the tragedy, is that four
years ago two other Renville high
school students, young Mason and
a young companion whose name we
do not recall, were drowned while
bathing at the same place, and I'M
der almost identical circumstances.

MARKET DAY, JUNE 80.

At the meeting of the Commercial
club last Friday evening, it was de-
ci ed TO have the next market day
on Tuesday, June Both, at which time
farmers are requested to not only
bring in produce, but live stock,
ETC., for sale purposes.
The meeting was not largely at
tended, owing to the absence from
the city OF a number Of members,
and also due to the fact there were
receptions, lodge meetings, ETC., 60
ing on at the same time. It is hoped
that future meetings will be more
thoroughly attended.
HI. E. Miller resigned from the
market day committee, owing to the
fact that he has removed from the
city. This committee was increased
by one member. and Messrs. Cooper
and Tyson were appointed to the
vacancies.
Messrs. Fred. L. Warner, Fl. A.
Baldwin and A. M. Welles were ap-
pointed from the club to act in uni
son with general committee ap-
pointed to arrange for the M ethodist
conference in this city next fall.

Fred. Spaulding of Renville Drowned in
the Minnesota River North
of Delhi.
Meet Death at Almost the
Same Spot.

Last Wednesday afternoon a small
party of Renville people, mainly the
families of W. d. Spaulding and j.
T. Brooks, were picnicking on the
banks of the Minnesota river, on the
pleasant grounds below the rapids,
about three miles north of Delhi.
At some time near 4 O'Clock Fred.
Spaulding and Will Brown put on
bathing suits for a swim Members
of the party say that the young men
waded or swan to a rock in the river
and started to come back to shore by
different route Young Brown had
nearly reached the shore, when he
heard Spaulding cry Cramps
and upon turning saw the latter
struggling, and tried to go to him,
but Spaulding sank from sight and
was carried down by the swift cur
rent before his companion could
reach him. Spaulding's father also
plunged in to the rescue, hoping to
save his boy by extending to him
the branch of tree when he arose
to the surface. 1t is stated that
Spaulding, who was a good swim
mer, was not seen to arise after his
fret dicannaaranca
News of the drowning reached
Delhi within an hour or so after it
occurred, and a party OF citizens
went to the scene with the best
available tackle for dragging the
river for the body. Meanwhile
Miss Lambert, of the picnic party,
had telephoned from Florita to Rem
vile for help, which arrived few
hours after the tragedy. The body
was recovered about II o o'clock, and
the remains were conveyed by
sorrowing party to Renville.
