anyone In this matter, but 1t appears that
the difficulty liz one which should be
settled and at the request of parties inter-
ested we give this version of the affair. 1t
is stated that Mr.. Trefren purchased the
land on which his cottage stands, also
that crossed by the road with the under
standing that the road should be straight
ened below the land which he purchased.
This would bring the road out upon Mr..
Trefren's land which he offered 10 give for
the purpose. After the land was decided
no change was made In the road and later
Mr.. Trefren paid five dollars toward the
necessary expenses with the promise that
the road hould be straig htened at once. 1t
was then allowed to go on as befor" until
finally Mr.. Trefren concluded that the
only way to have the change made was to
close the old road. This he proceeded to
do. This was not done because OF dislike
OF other campers or with desire TO cause
them trouble, but to bring about the
change in the road which had been agreed
upon. Many of the campers not under
standing the motive which prompted Mr..
Trefren in his action were offended and an
unpleasant feeling has existed over the
matter since that time Mr.. Trefren states
that he has been constantly hectored, sew
eral nice apple trees being girdled at one
time. He states that all he asks is that the
road be Strengthened In accordance with
the original agreement and that he is still
willing to donate the land on which the
road must terminate. IL this is the case
and this statement of the matter is the
true one, why should not the affair be adj
justed and spirit of harmony exist among
all campers at the lake. This change in
the road would certainly be an improve
ment over the present condition and would
make the grounds easier of access. Let all
who are interested in this matter and in
the development of the beautiful grounds
about the lake give their assistance to the
proper adjustment of the trouble and this
old bone OF contention may be buried and
the most pleasant relations exist among all.

Washington, Oct Ex-senator N. h.
Scott of West Virginia is strongly op-
posed to the proposed economical pro
gramme to be pursued by congress ac-
cording to Speaker Cannon and the
administration
There is nothing in the condition
of the country that would suggest at
this time any curtailment in the neces'
sary expenditures" said senator Scott
Much OF the talk we hear about cut
ting down the expenses of the governs
ment is apt to mislead people This

down to a level where they We're when
the nation was younger.
Senator Scott is not the only Man
who is in complaining mood over
tho decision Of the Republican lead
ers. Members OF congress are sore
and many of them feel like overriding
their leaders. The belief is prevalent
that If they should decide to break out
of harness they can cause the admin

that it will require much diplomacy
and tact, as we'll as probable force, to
keep the agitators for larger appropri-

Discussion by American Public Health
Association.
Washington, Oct. 29.-The Ameri-
can Public Health association during
the day further cons idered the subject
of infection of human beings with
animal tuberculosis and listened to
several papers relating to the collec-
tion and disposal of garbage. In dis
cussing the former subject Dr. Mazyck
p. Ravenel Of Philadelphia took up
the question of tuberculosis bearing
on its transmission from man to ami
mails and from animals to man as we'll
as accidental incubation He regret
ted the disinclination of federal and
state authorities to, permit criminals
condemned to death to be inoculated
with the tubercula germ in the inter-
ests Of science. He said he was sure
a man condemned to death would most
fittingly take his chances OF contract
ing tuberculosis as against electrocu-
tion or hanging. He emphatically con-
troverted the common theory that dry
sputum is the underlying cause of tu-
bercular infection and said that there
is absolutely not one whit of evidence
that it ever caused a single case of
tuberculosis in mankind. He produced
numerous statistics showing bovine tu-
bercular infection OF human beings
and said that the bovine tubercular
bacillus is extremely more virulent
than that of the human being. He
concluded by strongly urging that ev-
cry precaution should be taken by the
association as sanitarians for the pro-
lection of the food supply as derived
from cattle.

st. Louis, Oct. 29-Long before the

were assembled before the doors of
some Of the other savings institutions.
Most of those in line were working

whose savings were not heavy Owing
to the action taken by the officials of
the eight trust companies doing busi-
ness in ST. Louis requiring thirty and
sixty day notices of intention to with
draw funds depositors were not able
to get any money.
All they could do was to declare
their intention of Withdrawing their
deposits at the end of the time taken
advantage of by the companies under
their rules. The trust companies also
decided not to pay certificates Of de-
rosit before maturity
