Confusion About the Churches.

Four miles beyond the village Of
Bethel, VT, is an old Episcopal
church, the earliest in that part of the
state. A clergyman who was a stran-
ger in town recently undertook a walk
to the church. Losing his way, he
stopped at a house by the roadside
to ask for direction
Unaware that the family who lived
in the house was named Church, he
said to the woman. who came to the
door: Madam, can you tell me where
to find the old church,"
To his great surprise and embar-
rassment, she replied: "Oh, sir, my
father died a year ago!"

Eskimo FoIkIorn.

The most striking feature Cf Eskimo
folklore is its thoroughly human char
acter In a strict sense Of the term.
the bulk Of Eskimo tradition is not
mythology, but hero tales, which re-
fleet with remarkable faithfulness the
social condition and religious beliefs
Of the people. They treat of visits to
fabulous tribes, of murder and revenge,
Of mercy and recompense, Of feats of
shamanism and Of witchcraft. The SUI
pernatural enters into them, but only
as it enters into the everyday life Of
the people to whom witches, guardian
spirits Of shamans. giants and dwarfs
are existing realities. In this sense
most Of the Eskimo tales are true tales
taken from life, and show a great
lack of imaginative power. Setting
aside this group of hero tales, there
remain only a few entirely disconnect-
ed myths One of them tells how
woman was mutilated by her father
who cut off her finger joints one after
the other. From these joints original
ed the sea mammals, and the woman
became their mistress. Another myth
tells of the origin of the sun and
moon, who in the beginning were hu-
man beings, a brother and a sister, and
who We're taken up to the sky.

SPLIT IoGsDRAG..
A Big Success according to d Well.
known Magazine.

We clip the following from the
Worlds Work, to show with what
enthusiasm the so-called split-log
drag method of road making is be-
ing taken up in Iowa and elsewhere
and as a suggestion to the farmers
of Red wood county that they give~it
a trial, talk the matter up with their
neighbors, and as an incentive the
publishers OF THE GAZETTE will give
a years subscription to this paper
to the frstiRed wood county farmer
who, after giving the device fair
trial, reports to US its success on a
Redwood county highway:
Thanks to D. Ward King, the
discoverer of a new method OF max
ing good roads out of poor ones by
the use of a simple home made drag,
the farmers of Missouri, Iowa and
the neigboring states are being
taught how to make and keep good
roads at a minimum cost. Mr.. King,
who for twenty years, has been a
good roads enthusiast, visited Sac
City, Iowa, at the request of the
good roads association, recently.
The work done by the farmers, as a
result of his talk has transformed
the highways leading into town. %
miles we're cared for last year at an
expense OF $40 per mile, and the
roads were made so smooth that
owners of trotting horses invaria-
bly, choose them for speedways in
preference to the race track.
This convinced many doubters
of the value of Mr.. Kings device.
He interested members of the Mis-
souri, board of agriculture in it, and
they in turn secured special trains
to run, free of charge, on trunk
lines in Missouri and Iowa, with
Mr.. King, at frequent stops, and
from the rearof the platform, preach
ing his system. He spoke first al
the little town of Onawa, Iowa. The
occasion was made a festival. Three
hundred visiting farmers were Civ.
en- two good meals by the enterpris
ing business men. One hundred
and fifty dollars was subscribed
and offered as prizes for the best

A POTATO FAMINE.

The potato famine does not exist
around Red wood Falls entirely. A
special from Crookston says that
potatoes 10 northern Minnesota are
nearly as costly as apples. Farm
ers who planted quarter sections of
the tubers are not receiving a yield
large enough to warrant digging.
and thousands of acres will be al
lowed to rot on the ground. rather
than create expense thru digki g
operations. According to potato
experts the entire. seed stock of the
Red River valley must be changed
before the crop can again be prof

some locality or localities 10 which
the rot and blight. so disastrous to
the crop IN this section this year.
is not apparent. Otherwise the rot
will continue year by year to devas-
tate the fields of the tubers, and
farmers who plant the vines will
have their trouble for nothing. The
rot this year is wide spread ano
leaves hardly potato in the valley
which is fit either for the table or
for use another year as seed. Mon
tana and southern districts in
which the tuber is grown have not
been affected by the trouble to such
a great extent, but the crop is new
ertheless short all around, and i'm
portation from foreign potato dis
tricts will be the only hope of again
raising a successful potato crop in
the valleys. The rot is a peculiar
affection of the potato and is com
pared to the blight that spread over
Ireland when the famine in that po
tato country was SO severe. The
tubers, after reaching partial ma
turity in the ground suddenly turn
into soft, mushy substance and
later on dry into dust. Farmers
who sold their crop early in the
season are rejoicing at their good
fortune.

MARRIED IN HUDSON.
John Hebard and Ada Charter Have a
Second Union.

A Hudson, Wis, special of Oct.
18th, says that "a remarkable ro-
nance, full of love-. hardships and
sorrow, eliminated at the court
house in this city last night, when
Miss Ada M Charter and John W.
Hebard were pronounced man and
wife by o. w, Arnq probate
judge of ST. Croix county. They
came in from Minneapolis. on an ev-
ening train and drove straight to
the court house, where they secur-
ed permit to marryfrom the coun-t
tY clerk and Judge Arnquist grant
ed them right to be welded imme-
diately instead of waiting the five
tedious days prescribed by law.
They had stolen away from the big
city and they were in extreme haste
to marry in order to outwit the
father of the bride.
"Mr. Hebards came direct from
the penitentiary at Saltwater where
he had been confined for six or more
months. He was sent there from
Redwood county on the charge of
having two wives, the father Of the
second wife having been the prose
cutting witness against the son-in-
law. Hebard was born in the will
derness and grew up among the In
dams. When a mere STRIPPING he
married an Indian squaw, but the
union proved to be an unhappy one.
Her people disliked him for his
white skin and tabooed them both
until she grew so tired of her soil
tary life that she left her husband
and went to live with another man.
"Then Hebard went to live with
the whites of Redwood county, in
which county there are also a num-
Der of copper colored and white
Indians, and there he soon fell in
love with a young white girl, beau
tiful, tall, and accomplished, Miss
Ada M. Charter, by name, daughter
of an impecunious retired farmer.

divorce from him, which he thought
had been properly granted, he

Douthitt.

Mr.. Trent suggested that if he used
his own office he would want a $3.50
deputy. If he had a separate office, he
would want a SITS deputy and $100
clerk, at least. The law practically
made him the county bookkeeper.
The chair found that eight rooms
were needed for the county officers,
not counting the county road super
visor.
As to the location of offices, Mr.. Trent
expressed d preference for his own Of
flee on Fort street. It was centrally
located and convenient to the banks
and business houses.
Archer suggested that superintendent
Holloway be asked to lend the bunga-

or are we?" asked Adams of Auditor
Fisher.
| Mr.. Fisher was in a quandary but
he thought the law gave the authority
to the commissioners, who are ap-
pointed by the Governor. However, the
county had to pay the bill for the Fire
Department. The Attorney thought the
county law gave the Supervisors power
to appoint the fire and all other COM
missioners.
Adams then referred to the mainten-
ance of prisoners of the county. The
Supervisors, he thought. would be re-
quired to meet this expense. He felt,
however, that all prisoners now were

! Fisher said that none of the 100000
appropriated for the biennial period for
maintenance of prisoners would be
applied; only to territorial prisoners.

TALKING OF MONEY.

| There would be a little over s252, 600
up to January Is, 1906. Mr.. Fisher said
it was better to take out the deduc-
lions from the total rather than by pro
rata amounts each month. The county
would have $252,000, approximately, for
its first six months. That would be all
the county could get.
Mr.. Fisher said the law reserved
$125,000 to come from the county. and
the county would get what was left, at
the end of the six months period.
Lucas asked what money was left
over which could be applied to road
work.
Lar. Fisher said there was money in
the hands of the Treasurer. He did not
know whether it was 8 territorial or
county deposit. That could be decided
when they drew upon the treasurer.
| Mr.. Trent said that since April 26
the Territorial Treasurer had been
holding the road taxes for the county,
Amounting to about $4,000.
| Lucas inquired whether there would
be any road money to keep the men
employed right along.
Fisher did not think the county could
keep up the payment of road expendi-
lures as fast as the Territory had. Il
don't think the county can keep up the
same lick" said Fisher.
The expenditures in the fifth dis
trict for the six months ending De-
,cember 81, had been $4,000, and in the
fourth district, $4,000, but other i'm
provements in road extensions We're
going on at the same time, paid out of
the loan fund.
What would be our expenditures,
asked Adams.
Il know the law provides for 1865
per month for salaries of supervisors
and other officers was Fishers reply.
THE Police Department gets $3.50,
making $4,000 a month"
Lucas thought $500 for the police was
too much The Chairman said it was
proposed that the July expenses be as
of June, so as to get started.
Moore asked if the 10 per cent. of the
whole amount could be paid over per
monthly. Fisher said the law provided
the county should have not less than
10 per cent. The Territorial officers un-
der their bonds would not pay more, as
the estimated taxes might be less.
Lucas was afraid there would be no
money for the road department.
MIR. TRENT INQUIRIES.
Trent inquired as to the 10 per cent.
of the estimated receipts. He thought
the pro rata would be $4,000 per month.
That would be so per cent. in six
months. He considered the 40 per cent.
was to take care of the $125,O00 which
the Territory gets out of the county's
total receipts.
If that plan was carried on here,
Kauai would have money to do bust
ness on, was Adams's comment. Adams
thought this method of taking out the
full limit of money to so per cent was
the only way the county was going
to do business.
Fisher said that $4,000 was Oahu's
total share.

FISHER ANSWERS.

FISHER ANSWERS.
Auditor Fisher said he did not know
exactly what was expected of him, but
he was willing to aid the supervisors
wherever possible. He asked for ques-
lions.
Mr.. Adams wanted to know what it
had cost to run the Police Department
last month, and the Fire Department
'also. Mr.. Fisher said he could get that
by averaging statements made last
year to the Legislature. He said he
had drafted a statement as to receipts
for the six months ending December
81, 1904. This would correspond to the
first six months of the county's exist
|ence. He read the following state
lments:
