Passing Of old Vermont stock.

There were three marriages, six
births and twenty-five deaths in town
last year. A gloomy look, certainly"
So says the newspaper correspondence
of one Of our Vermont towns. 1t is in
deed a gloomy look" Not only is the
old stock dying out. but there is no in
fusion Of new. Think OF the proportion
of births to deaths. Where one child is
born In this Vermont community there
are four deaths. Little wonder that the

HOLSTERS FORM a CLUB.
Harrison Garrison Is President and e.
A. Austin Secretary.

The former residents of Ohio and
Indiana who are organized into clubs
mixed things yesterday. Last evening
the former residents of Indiana to the
number of about fifty attended a meet
ing in the rooms of the Commercial
club. Harrison Clarkson was elected
as president and Edwin A Austin was
elected secretary. In addition an ex-
ecutive committee was appointed to
draft the constitution. The committee
consists of J. P. Moon. Mrs Lee Mon
roe and DR.. Edwin Locke. Twenty
five years ago a similar meeting was
held for the same purpose at the state
house. The club died out, however.
Members of the Ohio club held be-
lated summer picnic at VineWood park
yesterday afternoon. Only seventy
five out of a possible membership of
500 could be coaxed to come out and
participate. Consequently the pro-
gramme which had been prepared was
abandoned.
A few of the men got together and
INDUCED in the exciting game of
quoits, using harness rings and a peg
driven into the ground.
Mrs. Fred Snow is president of the
organization and Mrs. Lewis is secre-
tary. The club meets the third Mon
day in every month at III West Sixth
avenue. The club has been in exist
ence for the past five years.

Irrigated Land in Spokane Valley.

The Spokane valley extends east
from the city of Spokane for about 80
miles, with an average width of five
miles, reaching Occur d'A1ene City, on
Occur d'Alene Lake, to the southeast,
and Rathdrum, Idaho, to the north
east. The soil is similar to that of the
famous Rhine valley in Germany,
with this difference, that while the
Rhine valley has been cultivated for
thousands of years, the Spokane val
ley is practically virgin soil.
Spokane is the distributing point
for Eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho, has population of $1,000, and
from it electric lines are being con-
structed to all parts of the valley,
which will soon be one vast suburb of
the city itself.
Irrigated land in the western part
of the valley is now worth $500 per
acre, while in the eastern part, where
water is now ready for use. it can be
had for $3.50 per acre. Alfalfa and
semi-tropical fruits of all varieties
grow to perfection in this district.
The proximity of Spokane makes this
an exceedingly desirable proposition.

dealing with this and other districts
along the Northern Pacific Rly., write

Agent, Northern Pacific Rly.. st. Paul,

MEDALS WE'RE PLATED.
Athletes Who Competed at Portland
Find Prizes Not Gold.

Portland, Ore. Sept. 20.-Athletes
from various sections of the United
States who competed in the Lewis and
Clark championships given under the
auspices of the Lewis and Clark ex-
position, and who imagined that for
first place winnings they received gold
medals valued at $3.50, are just
awakening to the fact that the medals
are gold plated, valued at from SIS to
$3.50. although there were a few
higher priced medals.
In order to protect himself from
scandal, the manufacturing jeweler
today explained that he had never rep
resented the medals to be anything
more than they were-gold plated on
copper. He also showed his accounts,
which make it plain that several hun
dred medals were ordered by the
Lewis and Clark exposition manage
ment. and that the prices were from
IS to $3.50 each.

CHARGES OF FRAUD

order, stopping meeting of officials
of the company to be held Thursday.

rectors. BY securing this control it
is alleged Gray has the right to vote.
Besides these many thousands of
dollars alleged to have been improp-
erly taken it is declared, Gray and his
associates by fraudulent means have
taken and withdrawn d large amount
of the funds.

THEY WANT MORE MONEY.
White Wings Demand an Increase of
Salary.

Topeka's White Wings want a raise
in salary. They want a salary of $40 per
month; they now get $1.50 day.
They have petitioned the city council
for the increase. The petition follows:
I'VE, the undersigned members of the
white wings of the street department
herewith present this petition to your
honorable body to please pay US d sta
ted salary of $40. The increased cost of
living, the expenses to which we are put
in the way of providing rubber boots,
etc, the exposure to which We are sub
jected, the extra night work we are call
ed upon to do, in cur judgment justify
US in the prayer to you, which we trust
you will grant
But the White Wings are not alone.
The foremen of the street gangs also
are lowering on the verge of a petition
of similar length and import. Whether
prayer is effective or not will be de-
termined by the action of the city coun-
Gil.

THEY ARE ALL OPEN.
Kansas Railroads Recovering From
Eject of Floods.

With thirty-six hours of fine weather
to aid them the maintenance of way
officials of the various railroads in east
ern Kansas have been able with big
forces of men to work with such success
that most of the damage done to the
road beds by the recent storms has
been fixed up temporarily at least SO
that trains can be operated on all lines
in and out of Topeka.
After laboring with unusual vigor the
officers of the Union Pacific have sue
ceeded in getting their line between
Kansas City and Topeka fixed up ana
trains of the Rock Island and Union
Pacific were able to use this part of the
road after 7:15 o'clock this morning
1t was expected by the Union Pacific
officials that the road could be opened
last night at nine O'Clock but this was
found impossible because the washout
at Perry was harder to fix up than had
been anticipated.
All of the Union Pacific and Rock Is
land trains between Kansas City and
Topeka last night and early this morn
ing were handled as has been usual
during the last few days by the Santa
Fe but after seven O'Clock this morn
ing the Santa Fe had only its own
trains on this line to handle. 1t also
had to handle its trains early this
morning that usually run between Kan
sas City and Emporia ON the cut off
over the main line going through To-
peka because the bridge over the
Marais des Cygenes between Pomona
and Quenemo was not put in shape for
traffic last night This bridge was re-
paired at 10 o'clock this morning and
then things on the Santa Fe were run
ming in a normal condition.
1t was stated yesterday that the
Southern Kansas division of the Santa
Fe had been put out of commission by
the overflow of the Verdigris in Green
wood county. This was a slight mis-
take. 1t was the Benedict branch of
this line running through Madison that
was not in operation because of the
flood of the Verdigris at Madison.
Officials of the Santa F'e were con-
graduating themselves today on the
fact that the Southern Kansas division
was not put out of operation by the
overflow of the Verdigris which crosses
this line a Independence. A tie up was
averted there by the new bridge that
the Santa Fe was recently put in there
and the officials of the road were glad
that the bridge had been put up in
time. Had the old bridge been in exist
ence tie up of this line would surely
have occurred.
1t is expected that the Rock Island,
Union Pacific and Santa Fe will have
all their regular trains running near
schedule time this afternoon.
Damage done to the roads by the
storm has not been merely confined to
the temporary hold up of traffic. On
all the roads, particularly the Tock Is
land, a great amount of work was going
on in fixing up the road beds for winter
traffic. This work consisted of rebal-
lasting and the like and great deal of
it that had been started was washed
away by the storms. 1t will cost all
the roads an immense amount of money
to put this new work in the condition
it was in previous to the storms as well
as to repair the actual damage done to
the old road beds.
