10 the Editor Of the Democrat.
Will you kindly allow me little space
In which to appeal to the citizens of
LeWistown on behalf OF the Reading
Room OF the recently formed Y. M.
&. A? We are much in need of maga-
zines and interesting periodicals. Sur
ely there must be many among the
reading public who would be willing
TO donate the amount of years sub
scription to one or two of the popular
monthly magazines, If they only knew
how useful such a donation would be.
Or might l suggest another plan?
Will friends of the Y. NJ. C. A., SUBJ

club rates, keeping one or more II
they desire, for themselves and do
mating the other Tor others) to the
Reading Room. In this way for q
small sum, any one may help a good
cause and at the same time take ad-
vantage OF the club rates for them
selves. Or yet again, the secretary,
Mr.. George Zang, will thankfully re-
ceive donations of a dollar or more,
to form fund from which periodicals
may be ordered by the Educational
Committee at club rates.
l would like to add that 1t is not
old magazines that are asked for SO
much us up-to-date issues coming i'm
regularly every month, and that If
sent after being read they should he
sent to the Y. M. C. a., rooms as
soon as possible. What we would
prefer would be to have them ordered
(slngly or at club rates. to be sent di-
rect to the secretary.
Hoping that this appeal may meet
with a hearty response.

Clarence Robinson, the contestants
brother-Has lived on the bench for
four years: Moore's land the same in
character as the surrounding land:
two bitches on Moore's desert claim:
two laterals but too short to irrigate
the claim; had seen fair crops raised
on the Moore desert; did not think
that the Moore land was irrigated.
"A. w. Osborne-Lives two miles
from Moore's place: had raised as
much as 40 bushels of wheat per acre
on his (Osborne's) place which was
two miles from the Moore place; soil
on the Moore desert the same as that
on his own ranch; could see no bitches
on Moore's place in 1902 when good
crop was raised.
}. w. Stapleton-Had ranched on
the Coffman place, two miles from
Moore's land; raised % bushels Of
wheat without irrigation; Coffman
and Moore lands appeared to be about
the same in character; had taken UP
desert claim and afterwards re-
leased it and his son homesteaded it.
Paul E. Connoyer-Lived at Moore
for year; had seen growing crops on
Moore's desert; had seen short laterals
plowed across the claim but they con-
tained no water: carpenter by trade
and came from Nebraska; went
with Mr.. Peregrine to the Moore des-
ert claim to examine the land; in

Lively Contest Between Board of
Health and School Trustees
Over Vaccination Order.
CHILDREN GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
PeremptOry Writ of MandamuS Is
Sued by the Court Against the
Board Of Health.

After waiting for over two weeks
for the county board Of health to re-
move the regulation which required
all school children to be vaccinated
before they could attend the public
schools Of the city, the board Of trus-
tees yesterday filed mandamus pro-
ceodings in the district court to COM
pei the board Of health to remove the
restriction. An alternative writ Of
mandate was issued by Judge Cheadle
pending the argument on the matter
OF the peremptory writ
The case was taken up by Judge
Cheadle yesterday afternoon. f. O.
Busenburg, chairman of the board of
education, represented by Attorney
O. w. Belden, appeared for the trus-
tees and DIR. Wilson, county physician,
Samuel Phillips, chairman OF the
board Of county commissioners, and
County Attorney Roy K. Ayers were
In court to appear against the issuance
Of the peremptory writ. DR.. Wilson
and Mr.. Busenberg were the only wit
nesses examined. While DR.. Wilson
did not say that the order Is absolutely
necessary at this time, he insisted
that, as a matter Of precaution, it
should be continued. Mr.. Busenburg
stated that the attendance at the
public schools has fallen from over 90
per cent of the total enrolment to 81
per cent of the total enrolment as a
result of the order and that, inasmuch
as there are no new cases of the con-
tagion in the city, it was deemed un-
necessary by the school board that the
vaccination order should be con-
tinued.
The court said that he would not
render decision upon the linn
tied testimony offered and ordered
the respective parties to submit the
testimony of other witnesses this
morning at 10 O'Clock.
This morning Drs. Atchinson, Harry
Wilson, Symmes, Attix, Peasants
and Stoll testified. They each en-
phatically stated that the measure is
wise one from precautionary stand
point. But none but DR.. Symmes
testified that it is any longer neces-
sity under the present conditions.
Superintendent of the public schools
testified substantially as did Chair
man Busenburg of the school board at
the hearing yesterday.
The court took the matter under
advisement until this afternoon and
we learn just before going to press
that he has rendered his decision
which makes the writ of mandate
peremptory. There is no question as
to the law governing the case and in !
his statement of the facts, the court |
submits that there have been but
three cases of smallpox in the city
this year: that the last of these was
discharged from quarantine two
weeks ago; that there are five cases at
Forest Grove, twenty miles from the
city and number of cases at Flat
willow, sixty miles distant. The
court does not consider such state of |
facts sufficient to justify the continu-
ance of the order of the board of |
health and he therefore issued his de-
cision making the writ mandatory.
The decision will permit allo those
children who have been out of school,
over 100 in number, to return to
school

Reciprocity with Cuba.

In 19O2.'O3 before reciprocity, We
bought from Cuba goods valued at s62,
942,79O and sold her goods valued at
$21,761,63S. Our imports were three
times as great as our exports. Now we
are buying products valued at $84,655,'
600 and selling products valued at $37,
601,0OO. Cuba's sales to us have in.
creased 35 per cent. Our sales to Cuba
have increased IS per cent. Our i'm
ports are now only little more than
twice as great as our exports. We have
every reason to be satisfied with this
showing. The reciprocity treaty with
Cuba was based on sound provisions.
Its success illustrates the conditions
under which compacts of this sort can
be concluded with national profit.-N.

Burden of Sunday Papers

The modern Sunday newspaper, so
called, is tolerated by thousands who
would prefer that they should not be
thus burdened. "The reading of the
average Sunday newspaper" says the
Sunday School Times rightly, "whether
on Sundays or weekdays, is burden
too heavy to be lightly assumed by any
normal person. The real question
would seem to be, "Why must read
the Sunday newspaper not, why
should L not read it?' The idea of
bringing this monstrosity of modern
days into real Sabbath, as though it's
persual and the worship of God could
exist in near proximity, does not seem
to be worthy Of serious discussion."-
