A friend calls our attention to the
fact that American tourists spend
annually in Europe the immense sum
of 5000, 900, 900. which goes indirectly
to aid Europeon countries in building
magnificent nayies. AS it is necessary
to expend a large amount of money in
this country for the same purpose in
order to hold our own, he suggested
/ hat each American tourist be charged
the sum of 800, by the government for
passport. The amount realized would

while here informed his friends that
be was candidate for the judgeship
Of this, the 18th judicial circuit. Judge
Grimm would make most excellent
Judge, being possessed of the requisite
legal attachments and judicial temper
ment. He is endowed with an analyl
ical mind which separates the true

would see that justice was accorded to
every man who was IA prisoner or ligi-
giant In the circuit court--a safe Judge,
without bias or prejudice. jefferson
county has never had the judgeship Of
this circuit, and Judge Grimm should
have the vote of every man in the
county. In saying this. we have not a
word to say in sparagement of the
present incumbent nor Of the other
excellent gentlemen who are aspirants
for the place.

The present year SO rapidly coming

versary Of the Episcopal parish of St.
Paul. The first services of this church
was held in 1915. The Rev. Melanct-
thou Hoyt officiating. This worthy
priest lived at Fox Lake and travelled
afoot to Watertown and thence to
Whitewater travelling a circuit of
many miles and absent from home for.
weeks in orde to further his mission
ary projects. In 1916 Rev. Hoyt re-
ported to the diocesan council that
though there were but five confirmed
mem bers at Watertowu. yet he had
congregation of about one hundred
who lme to his services and were in
terest9d in church work.
What changes since those days!
Thirty years ago the congregation was
almost entirely composed of Eastern
people, descendants of English and
Irish ancestry. Only very few of
these are now remaining. many have
passed to paradise, some have moved
away and those who now occupy the
church are mostly of Germanic des-.
cent.
This transition period when the pop
lation is changing in characted. is al
ways Il trying time fer any institution.
St. Pauls parish has stood the crises
and the parishioners feel that prom
ising futu re of useful work awaits their
care. Sixty years of parish life in a
Wisconsin church is something which
to be proud and the Rector would be
happy to meet any one who personally
remembers the Rev. Melanchon Hoyt.

 McPherrin's Books
I. w. GLEASON, Esq,

NO. l, IMPERIAL, OhblfOhNlA' DEAR SIR
 Following upon your instructions, have made complete and careful ex- animation of the books and accounts ot Imperial Water Company No. l. 1 ex- amined and compared every voucher for the year 1904, and find the same to have been properly audited by the auditing committee, and that special payments were made in accordance with resolutions of the board of dlrec- tors. The books have been carefully kept, and are accurate. In a general way I examined the accounts from the time Mir. McPherrin became secretary, and I have no hesitancy in saying that I believe everything to be perfectly correct
 I also examined the vouchers issued and paid this year, up to and including, February 2Oth ult., and proved the cash balance to be correct, as shown on the cash book at that time, also agree ing the same with the bank balance. I found all cash duly accounted for to that date, and the balance correct.
 suggested changing the titles Of one or two accounts, and made some other suggestions for more systematic working of the books and which will result in showing better information on some accounts. l append to my report a balance sheet of the company at January l, 1905, with detailed items of bills receivable, accounts receivable, unpaid assessment No. 6 and accounts payable The working capital account on the balance sheet is stated in full to indicate the sources of income to the company, and the disposition of the same, whether for expense or ln- vestment. l made an investigation of the annual statement of receipts and disbursements for the year ending December 31, 1904. In proving the same with the total cash received and total dlsbursed 1 found a discrepancy of $4.OO on both sides, the printed state ment being $4.00 too mnch. l then analysed the various amounts Of the receipt and disbursement items, and found thh following errors on the dis bursement side:
 Cleaning and repairing canals should read $l4O42. .49 instead of $l405l .49.
 c. D. Go. Assess. NO.5 should read $2995. 20 instead of $2995.50.
 Arthur Fuller, should read 4ll.61 instead of $331.67.
 T. J. Faulkner, should read 34l.35. instead of $42l. .35.
 A. l.. Van Horn, should read 3l4.7O instead of $214.70, this is printers error.
 Thos. Beach, sup't, should read 2O25 instead of $2175.
 R. D. McPherrin, sec'y., should read 1902. 40 instead of $l752.4O.
 E. R. Baker, assist. sec'y., should read 934 .72 instead of $994.47.
 Unclassified expense items, should read l633. .39 instead of l62834
 While the total "receipts" and "dis- bursements" should read $lO5342.8l.
